I look at my location history sometimes, especially after long trips. Two years ago on reviewing a trip to India it said I had been in Patna, a city I've never been within several hundred miles of. So I knew it was not dependable. I've just looked up the location history for that period in detail. It is still there. It says that I was in Domino's Pizza in Ashok Rajpath Rd, Chowk, Patna, it also says that I then travelled a distance of 1100 miles to a place in southern India where I had actually been, in 13 minutes, by car. It was probably caused by someone identifying a business address wrongly, but it is absolutely not reliable. Lawyers should question its accuracy.
You're still lying. The bendy bananas article was a 'joke' that was designed to become, and has become part of the folk wisdom of the credulous part of the leave crowd. Bendy Boris should be proud of his shit-stirring skills.
Well, if you weren't wedded to the typical right wing American idea of blaming everything on intrusive big government, then you might see it for what most see it as. That is that governments should be stopped from making secret sweetheart deals with chosen big companies, instead of applying the rules to everyone alike.
I do see what you did there. You blamed foreigners for issues in products designed and mostly made in the US. Not just any foreigners, but those that are the standard targets of American prejudices.
There is a major difference between black Americans and the rest. Blacks did not 'come', they were brought against their will and while they remain a distinct group, they retain the group heritage of their slavery. And the whites still share the group heritage of the slavers. The primary actions may have ended in the mid 19th C, but a quick look at your history will show that it has scarred both the black and the white populations. You are showing your scars.
Way back when I was a boy and the fear was a new ice age and not hothouse earth, I used to make simple radios. I lived in north London about 5 miles from the BBC Brookmans Park transmitters. With a 25m long wire aerial, a simple tuner and no battery or other power, it was possible to get enough volume on a earphone for two or three people to gather round and listen to it to the main BBC channels, i.e. without putting it into your ear. Couldn't do the same with any of my small speakers though.
........., It is on life support and I can't see them coming back from here, but who knows.
I'm sure I heard that said about Netscape Navigator a couple of decades or more ago. When Chrome emulates IE and turns to crap as it likely will when it is a monopoly, we will need something to fall back on again.
I agree with the grandfather post, that was my understanding too. But I have checked a couple of online dictionaries and they agree with you. I'll point out though that the OED doesn't know everything, any more than you or me, and once a meaning is defined in a standard reference, that definition will tend to perpetuate.
WTF indeed.
Assume everything you read here (or on USA Today) is written by a journalist and therefore liable to be utter garbage, until proved otherwise.
At worst, this person will go through the courts for the crimes they are accused of (and absolutely committed). Or are you saying that the sanctions and those who violate them should be ignored?
It appears that you are already certain that she did what she is accused of. You must have some secret knowledge, please let everyone have the evidence.
While young Norwegians are a non random sample of the world population, your concentration on the figures instead show you have no understanding of statistics.
You are doing pretty much what the article accuses Microsoft of doing. That is, confusing a recovery disk that contains no license with a copy of the software. From the article -
These discs are for repairing or re-installing a copy of the OS. They did not come with licenses and Lundgren was not selling or providing licenses.
If you think the article is wrong, then explain how and why that is.
It sounds as though he found information published on the web. If I had a book with a custom made index and I was not told that there were pages that were not indexed, is it unauthorised access to leaf it open it to one of them?
I'll take all this with a large pinch of salt or even contend that it could be misleading. It only mentions bird variety, not bird numbers; if the diversity remains constant but the numbers fall that is not good. But much more important is insect and invertebrate numbers and diversity, which is more difficult to measure.
I've walked through both coffee estates and natural or near natural forests in these mountains. The estates were essentially gardens or orchards. The natural forests were something else altogether.
You are quoting from a John Birch Society associate so of course you found a link relating to wealth, though this article is about income.
From Wikipedia - Sweden's income equality (and that of the rest of of the region, including Finland and Denmark) is much higher than the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., at with an income gini coefficient of about 0.27 for Sweden versus 0.4 for the US.
There are at least two quoted lists in Wikipedia for wealth gini coefficient. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... by contrast is about 0.8 rather than 0.7 in the US, i.e. Sweden has a more unequal distribution of total wealth. But according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... it is the US (0.85 versus 0.81). I've not followed the links if any don't actually correspond to the quoted sources.
Here in the UK there's a large proportion of people who think life was good during WW2 because their knowledge of it is derived mainly from movies showing everyone working together. Rosy tinted views of the past are easy to pick up, as is shown by many of the posts here.

For comparison, what is the historic and current level of US espionage / hacking of China and Chinese targets? Preferably from an independent source.

Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black, or is it the other way around?
I find that coming to slashdot is the easiest and cheapest way to read utter codswallop and tripe.

So, we're living in the collective toilet of that early micro-organism that evolved to produce oxygen. It's just so big we don't see it.
Thank you, you've really enlightened us. Perhaps you could also tell us what proportion of the 'development costs' are in fact, profits.

Rinsing is fine in most cases, except when your hands may have come in touch with faecal matter. Eating out is probably a greater hazard to you.

I once tried to ride a cheap bicycle without considering the gyroscopic forces of two bike wheels spinning at road speed.
The wheels came off, and I've learned my lesson.
