I was at a high school that laid down a zero-tolerance policy against bullying. In practice, zero-tolerance turned into a blanket "we don't want to put up with any disruptions" policy. Provoking an outburst out of a target me

Well. Suddenly I'm hit by memories of childhood days thinking FrontPage was the best thing ever... and maybe was it Nvu before or after that? (Who remembers Nvu of all things?) And Java applets taken from a book just to have fancy rollover

If you do a hard refresh it should be fixed. And there's always the option of filtering it `live.com##div.c_htr` :)

I'm not surprised at all. If I recall correctly, there was a link posted a while back about someone breaking some condition in the Google TOS, and thus being locked out of their Google Account, and therefore all their email, documents, and

But while your Macbook's battery is not dead (which I would hopefully presume is for most of the time you're using it), the magnetic connector is quite useful to have. It's got both great form and function. At least, until you come to t

If this is correct, then this matters much, much more than the sensationalism surrounding browsers on WoA being unable to run as desktop apps. The entire focus of WoA is pretty much Metro-style apps, with Office on the desktop as somethin

Incivility isn't just happening in relation to comments; I'm seeing thoughtful (or somewhat naive, but not inflammatory and certainly not with intent to mislead) comments downvoted on a somewhat regular basis now, simply because they may

I think it's more of Google practically being ingrained into people's heads as the way to get somewhere on the net. Time and time again I've seen people with MSN or Bing as their homepage, and they'll just search for "google".

Yes, I completely agree. But perhaps you could be smiling, at a nice sunny location. The human element would be there. That's not a "prison mug shot". Plenty of the photos on the site are like that. But if you're trying to say "Look, you're

I'm scrolling down and I find people making funny poses and trying to look cool. If you're trying to make a political message clear, is this how you want to represent yourself?

But it's also because Google has been making use of its massive amount of ad space to push Chrome, and on top of that taken out ads in actual physical locations too.

Not yet, in fact I haven't heard much on the subject for a while now. Currently, a few of our major ISPs have agreed to a voluntary Interpol blacklist, but that's about it currently. And it seems to be working for its designated purpose wel

That icon resembles something from the Adobe suite, and I don't think that's a particularly good idea. It also doesn't make a good first impression. On a more general note, the situation with menu bars and toolbars on Windows sure is atroc

Well actually, the N9's been promoted a bit around Australia, as far as I can see. I've been seeing ads for it on public transport, both in buses and at major train stations. Makes me wonder why they'd be bothering with throwing these adver

I've been using the Windows 8 Developer Preview for a while now as the primary OS on my laptop, and I've been primarily working on the desktop view (well, given that there's essentially not many Metro apps available). Once I got used to the

And this is why kudos must be given to Microsoft for not making the distinction between "Developer Preview" and "Beta" more noticeable. Wasn't one of the reasons behind Vista's huge flop being that in the betas, driver support was incredibl

Well... maybe not - http://www.istartedsomething.com/20110915/windows-store-to-p... Then again, a lot of people think the 30% is worth it when compared to implementing your own way of selling things.
