Years ago when WiFi was less prevalent I was using a Sony-Ericsson PCMCIA card in my laptops for Internet connectivity "everywhere". Later I moved on to tethering my Blackberry, it took just a little bit of technical knowledge and cost was quite low. Nowadays though with ubiquitous WiFi it's not clear the idea will serve more than a niche market. Or nostalgia.
That's a good company approach. As for personal use, to the extent one still needs Windows, Win7 laptops are inexpensive nowadays and quite serviceable if you up the hardware. They typically have 4Gig of RAM, make that 8Gig, add storage and they are good to go for the foreseeable future. I have two of them. Some refurbishers have caught on and are doing it already.
Along with my tuition waiver as a grad student (at the Great Rival of MIT) I also enjoyed student housing for a rather symbolic amount, obviously an emolument that should also have been taxed. WTF get rid of us damn freeloaders.
Blum's approach does not fall prey to the known barriers of relativization, natural proofs and algebrization, it's a serious and inspiring effort that unfortunately does have a flaw and it's unclear whether it can be fixed. The reason many in the field are skeptical is this: experience with long-term outstanding open problems indicates they need some major overall advance in Mathematics as they don't yield to clever twists of the currently known, e.g. Fermat's Last Theorem took hundreds of years and advances two orders of magnitude beyond what was known in Fermat's time before the (complicated) proof by Wiles. The P, NP, PSPACE matter shows our understanding of these fundamental complexity classes is still rather superficial. So we just post on/.
Indeed many sites throw a screen-sized remove-adblock message at you covering up content. Most can be handled though, e.g. in Chrome go into Inspect [ Ctrl-Shift-I , "Elements"], easily identify the offending element (auto highlights), right click - Delete element, and reload page. Takes a few seconds. The armies of evil will have to attack us with something more complex.
I too am wary of running a patch from MS but they do offer a manual alternative which I used on a Win 7 machine:
Create Registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Registry entry: SMB1
REG_DWORD: 0 = Disabled
--from
https://support.microsoft.com/...
and keep your fingers crossed
Indeed it interferes with logout; when I hover over my username the dropdown menu hides behind the ad and "Logout" is inaccessible. Exercise for the reader: Find an alternative way to log out. (Not too hard, it only took a couple of guesses to do it from the address bar)
Two years untouched, I returned and saw its screen had gone blank. Linux distro, booted from DVD, in-RAM, quite a chore to bring everything back after shutdown and reboot. But it wasn't needed: ctrl-alt-F2, init 2 to be sure, init 5 and presto the desktop was back. Singing along. Whatever the issue it didn't take my old Linux down. Happy for life's little joys.
Years ago working on a NASA spacecraft a hitch developed and we couldn't read the system clock. We informed the mission manager. "-- Great, I'll just go tell the Director we can't do this mission because we don't know what time it is". Never lose your sense of humor.
Risking the displeasure of a certain KGB capo mafioso I would have modded you up, were you not at 5 already. --Pack warm sweaters Norilsk can be nippy.
(I would mod you up, but then I wouldn't be able to comment.) Those 3000 likes on a Page are less good than 3000 Friends on a profile, and for the latter a posted Status has a reach of about 10%, of which in turn if more than 10-20% hit Like it is due to mutuality and personal feelings. Or maybe booby avatars. I believe you are right in not paying FB for spiffs, it is indeed not worth it. FB (or any other single platform) is unlikely to provide a solution, one needs a planned, coordinated strategy involving many platforms, and the devil of course is in the details. "Engaging your public", "offering value", avoiding overt boring sells... if only these can be more than catchphrases. Good luck! and of course "Half of my advertising budget goes to waste -- if I only knew which half!"

I'll second this; Bluetooth proved useful in scraping everything off a Nokia 6310 onto a laptop. Quaint old phones without USB or anything.
When I visit https://www.yahoo.com/news/ my miner blocker shows it is indeed blocking something. OK Yahoo money troubles but has it come to this?
