At first I thought this was about Google image search and artists having problems with that but I don't really understand why this is newsworthy. Google called asked and got turned down, seems perfectly reasonable and unobtrusive to me. Now

What you are saying for about kids working is definitely not true for my part of Europe. I've had plenty of friends from rich families growing up and if anything they tend to be more likely to get a summer job and I can't in the slightest i

I'm surprised by the operating systems graph, I didn't think Mac OS would have gone up that much and I especially thought "Other" would be much higher or at least increasing by any amount. I wonder how that relates to what type of school Un

It's not like you've got six democratic or republican parties in government in a giant pit fighting each other it's more like you've got two blocks with an internal cease fire that yell at the other group and occasionally slip and complain

Are you kidding, how many ministers did the current government go through in the first couple of weeks in power because of scandals? I know I lost count. Then there's the whole case with the tsunami tapes going missing. The case with bodstr

As a student that uses Google scholar quite often "almost everyone" is a lot lower than you think it is. At least in computer science and related fields, I have to use my schools access to journals almost every time.

I can imagine a non-lethal version of that could be pitched to prisons in the future assuming it could be made to be reliable. No need for giant walls and several layers of perimeter when you have a virtual walls to keep the inmates from e

Pubb is right, it's the same for me. It works from /privacy and /courses. Clicking on it from the landing page returns 422 "Unprocessable Entity" as a response to the ajax call. Chrome/XP.

Despite all the misses I'm pretty impressed it knew about my university http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=University+of+Skövde at all, considering it's tiny even by Swedens standards.

I'm literally amazed that you have managed to get away from those thought, I didn't think people that held such extreme views could be convinced. Congratulations, I'm happy for you.

I'm a student so going to a tailor is out of the question although I'm not so sure I'd even think of that on my own if I had bundles of money. I guess I should try that sometime. I've been fairly happy with the clothes I've bought by mail o

That was really interesting to read and I think I agree but I'd like to offer one criticism, it was really hard on the eyes with the lack of paragraphs.

I wish there was this for regular clothes. I virtually never go out and buy clothes (lack of time, interest etc.) until my old ones starts to wear, it's pretty much a maintenance thing for me. I'd just like to put in my measurements, maybe

It's only dirty if Intel isn't guilty but AMD is somehow influencing the ruling against Intels favor. Assuming AMD is indeed doing that, it's still only the corporate version of reporting a crime to the police.

I'm curious do a lot of people feel they need to restrain themselves from writing insults on the internet? My personality doesn't change between online or offline mode, I only adapt to the company I'm with with. If anything I'm more likely

I'm not sure why you are opposed to the 1GB of storage, a book is fairly small. My to-read folder on this computer has 248 pdfs in it most of which are academic papers a few (maybe 10 or so) are books. Even a 500 page imagescan of a book is

There's a fee attached to receiving money over a postgiro-account as the article explained, the hack is that the fee is larger than the money they receive and not that they could keep it. Your ability to (maybe) get the money back is just

Some say this is infantile like the previous poster said, some think it's awesome. I'm not sure it's either, I can't decide if this is civil disobedience or a weird form of vandalism. I'm by no means on the fence on the issue of piracy and
