@SuranjanaLonestar: You're going to set up a recursive loop that way. The universe is in BIG trouble now!
@BangBang: Actually, you're right! They DO look Chinese.
@Miral007: Mind if I ask what the specs are on your netbook? I don't know if mine is powerful enough for Windows 7 or even Vista.
Thankfully I de-crapified McAfee off my recently purchased cheapo XP netbook.
(Edit: Yes, I realize it's corporate customers that are experiencing this problem, but I like to de-crapify stuff that's pre-installed, including McAfee.)
With Firefox, I use an add-on called Too Many Tabs (TMT). It allows me to move open tabs to new rows, and I can keep adding rows as needed. The nice thing about this is that not only can I move tabs out of the way, but it also acts as a temporary bookmarking utility. When I close the browser and then reopen it later, all the TMT tabs are restored. When I close one of the TMT tabs, it's "de-bookmarked" in a sense. Also, I can pin any or all of those tabs, so when I click on one, it's automatically duplicated to the active row of normal tabs, keeping the original still pinned in the TMT row.
Why is the stick of butter in that top photo wearing sunglasses?
@jamar0303: Don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing what a lot of newspapers are doing these days (I've been out of the business for 13 years, so I can't really comment). But to buy an item they know isn't being sold by the rightful owner, and then to publish the name of the person that lost the phone, that's going too far in my book.
"Hi Gray, this is Gizmodo. We're really sorry that we stomped your testicles into a pulp, but they were in the way. We REALLY hope the swelling goes down soon... in what's left of them at least. Oh yeah, we'd really like to help you out, but we can't since we're what you call "journalists" and we have to maintain our distance (which is why we didn't name who we bought the stolen phone from). Hopefully things will work out for you though. The next time we're in Starbucks, we'll make sure to leave a fiver in the tip jar with YOUR name written on it."
I really hope Apple files suit, and I'd really like to see criminal charges filed for receiving stolen property.
@jamar0303: Damn right. I used to work in the newspaper business (various newsroom and photo department positions), and the shenanigans going on at Gizmodo wouldn't have taken place there. I can't talk about what goes on in the newsrooms of today though.
If the staff of Gizmodo wants to be taken seriously as journalists, they have to have the ethics of journalists.
Give make-believe journalists the power of the web and this story is what you get.
Fuck Gizmodo.
@michael: And you know the news media gets paid... how exactly? And by whom?
@JustSomeGuyOnTheStreet:
Slap a pacifist and see how long they remain passive. Pacifism is a great concept, but it doesn't work on an international level. Maybe some day.
@EdgarJPublius: My favorite is the S-3A Viking (I know, not a beauty), and not for the "Mission Accomplished" crap.
@t3h_g3n3r4l: That's what I thought at first too, but if you look at the upper horizontal stabilizer, you see that there's no gap for the sun to shine through. The high resolution version shows it much better. Clicking on the photo here will take you to it.
@jepzilla: I can buy that then. ; ) But I do know the particles can cause abrasion too.
(I can't log in normally for some reason, switching to Plan B.)
(Okay, I can't log in with using Plan B. Switching to Plan C... waiting.)
Well, with enough ash in the air... global cooling anyone?
And all these high-profile disasters just in time to get the 2012 nut jobs warmed up!
@slowpoke: Coulda' been a joke...
@designguybrown: Probably still a problem due to abrasion, even if the engines were reciprocating gasoline engines. Possibly less of a concern, but still a problem. And don't forget about abrasion resulting in the etching of cockpit windshield glass.
