Such removal will not be the first time, as Google has already removed such offending clips when it came to holocaust denial. It had also removed numerous videos posted during Gaza Invasion, as the videos contained dead bodies claimed to be ...
History has proven that division of labour is the path of the future and present. Nokia should have concentrated on Phone Hardware rather than trying to come up with a phone OS.

We have been developing a selenium 1.0 based automation suite and an important decision we had to take recently was to support modern browsers. Modern in the sense, Firefox 3.6 is not any more modern, and so is Firefox 10.0.This forced us to upgrade our suite to Selenium 2.0. Because of the way the suite is designed, upgrading the entire ...

The output of one is taken ...

It's incomplete, possibly inaccurate, and doesn't handle exceptional cases because not a lot of effort is expended making sure it's correct. During development, it serves as a reminder and a starting point for additional discussions with the customer about the full extent of his needs.No we don't do ...
