Being new to Android I wonder if they would be able to tell if we were tethering. Looking at a couple of videos on how this is done, I don't see any additional apps that need to be installed.

Take the Internet and cell phones away from these numb skulls and remind them how it used to be.

Oh yeah, and don't forget about those who religiously tune in to Fox News (Oreilly) or whatever your preferred so called news channel is. Heck, I still come to slashdot every now and then and even read/reply to posts.

I've found that firefox just doesn't live up to what chrome gives me. It's a simpler interface, doesn't crash (very often) and is fast. I also love the most visited pages feature ready for you when a new tab is opened. I'm a heavy duty linux user but I won't switch to linux on my little laptop until there is a stable chrome implementation for it. And generally, I hate windows.

And if I had the power, I'd make it mandatory to take 90 minute lunches. Try it, you'd be amazed at how ready you are for work after a good break.

Oceans Empty By 2048? 589

Posted by Zonk on Saturday November 04, 2006 @01:23AM from the dang-i-liked-fish dept.

F34nor writes to mention a CBS news article about the depopulation of ocean species. According to a study by a scientist in Halifax, Nova Scotia and assisted by research from all around the world, the world's oceans will be emptied of large lifeforms by 2048. From the article: "Already, 29% of edible fish and seafood species have declined by 90% — a drop that means the collapse of these fisheries. But the issue isn't just having seafood on our plates. Ocean species filter toxins from the water. They protect shorelines. And they reduce the risks of algae blooms such as the red tide. 'A large and increasing proportion of our population lives close to the coast; thus the loss of services such as flood control and waste detoxification can have disastrous consequences,' Worm and colleagues say."
