Thanks, the problem really being that she has no idea how to file manage on her windows PC or add/remove software, and her attempt at installing the software failed.

It's weird reading the Android engineers rebuttals. It's something that really irritates me, and frankly it has put me off of owning a smartphone at all (not having a microSD slot). I also noticed a few limititations for the firs

I have no idea. But animal feed in the UK used to be poorly regulated until the BSE scandal. Where it transpired that cattle offal was being fed back to cattle. I couldn't quite get why a ruminent herbivore was being fed meat in the

If you designated the input type as email, at least the browser could then take over the responsibility, not necessarily of the validation, but possibly of the suggestion that you might have mistyped or have an invalid email address. Surel

Surely you mean aoeu@gmail.com?

Reading the article, the main use for the TLD check is to see if you have a typo, and if so suggest a correction - rather than automatically correcting the typo for you. Which I agree could be useful for the big email providers. (e.g you

Yeah or you could always use this as animal feed.

In the UK they have seen a resurgence (rabbit) in the supermarket last few months.

Isn't it healthier/better to eat herbivores? From my experience you can pretty much teach your pallette to like foods. I didn't like green tea, olives or whisky the first time I tried them. Now I love them.

Perhaps users are aware of relative domain names and addressing. You even see this on a service like gmail's login. A user with the address example@gmail.com doesn't have to enter '@gmail.com' when logging in - just &

Perhaps I do operate it. Can be very useful on say a dev box.

And this could be abused. I sign up to a popular service with someone else's email address. I could be a nuisance and block them from signing up as themselves, even it if it is temporary.

Also sometimes you don't even need the TLD: user@myhostname, is a valid email address, and yet it's rejected by a lot of libraries.

Isn't this pointless with the wholesale of TLDs?

I think though you're an exception. What a luxury. It sounds like you've weighed up the environmental pros and cons for your locale, which is more than most do. I still think there's better use for that land than raising

This cows on natural prairies idea is pretty much bullshit. Unless you are talking about some maasai tribes that bleed out their cattle for protein shakes. Cattle farming is huge agricultural business. And for most people their meat is f

Good point. But we should be thinking about supporting the masses. If I have a hillside that isn't being used for anything else, than fair enough, I could throw a couple of sheep/goats on it and later reap the rewards. I'm n

Hilarious to read people writing that they'd be better off with steak as a protein source, it might be better for you - but not the planet. We'd be better of as a species by eating the grains directly and bypassing the animals.

Couscous is really just white pasta, a refined carb. So I see it as an energy provider rather than something nutritional. Whereas quinoa is a wholefood. There's currently a shortage and hence it's rocketed in price. It used to

Basically meta-data being used to trace people's footsteps - their mobile footprints - to look for potential perps that may have abducted Madeleine. This is frightening. I'd like an end to this story. But this feels like it&#x27

In Windows 8 there are two different keyboard shortcuts to move windows between displays depending on whether you are in desktop or metro mode. That's a bit of a downer. It still doesn't address the use case where I have a monit

Funny that, I bought a copy a copy of Windows 8 because I'd read that multi-monitor support was better. But it still didn't work for me. Mainly because I don't necessarily want both my displays on at the same time. And I

The thing is though. That really the semantic markup is already there in the table. So I don't see why the browser in this case can't just help you out a little. You could click the table, and the whole thing pop out in a &#x27

Thanks. How I hate embedded video! I wish authors would at least give an alternative download for their resources. Beats having to dig around in the source. That one is a little too large a video a file size for my tariff, will have to
