When one bad guy is killing other bad guys, it doesn’t necessarily make him a good guy. It does, however, sometimes work out best to just stand back and wait to see who’s left when the dust settles.
Triangulate on its source and nuke it from orbit, of course.
Which, incidentally, is pretty much what the North Korean government is doing when they detect radio signals being broadcast, according to the article... well, except the bit about nuking it from orbit. I have no idea why China would want to help them pin down the unauthorized broadcasts, though.
The dictatorship is bad, but the economic situation is caused by bad location in the globe, lack of innovation to improve farming/manufacturing, corruption, and bad trading.
“Bad location” that it shares with South Korea and Japan, and lack of innovation, corruption, and bad trading that are mainly due to the dictatorship and its repressive policies. But hey, if it sounds so good to you, why don’t you go live there?
actually, most electronic alarm clocks i had featured a bay for a 9v battery to keep it running in case of a power failure
Same, but they didn’t actually work while the power was out. They just kept time. The display went dark, though, and the alarm wouldn’t go off if the power was out.
It seems that you don't really understand what is going on here. A person you who isn't your Facebook friend can take a picture of you at a strip club (or whatever) and post it on their Facebook, and tag you in the photo.
Then your morally superior boss can look at the photo and fire you.
It's really difficult to understand why people are pissed off at Facebook.
GP’s complaint was that someone can still tag you without linking to your profile, and if the image is public, anyone can see it. All they have to do is type your name and then un-check the box next to your profile link in the search results list.
You are not notified, you cannot un-tag yourself, you cannot search to find photos in which you’ve been tagged in this manner, and you cannot prevent random strangers from seeing it.
Sounds like her workplace just wants her not to exist outside the school building. That’s completely reasonable... just get her one of those invisibility cloaks.
Your choice is simple: either pay the site directly via credit-card access to their content, or put up with the ads that are financially supporting your ability to view that site without any additional payment on your part.
When mega rich multinational megacorps stop STEALING ALL MY BANDWIDTH then maybe I'll think about buying their product.
Don’t be ridiculous. They’re not “stealing” your bandwidth. You go to the site, you freely give it some of your bandwidth... so if you don’t like the content that it delivers, just don’t go there any more.
Another holocaust, if it came, would result from people (once again, as in the last holocaust) believing that Jews were sub-human.
Remembering how “bad” the holocaust was is utterly worthless if you think that the victims were of sub-human value, because then “bad” turns into “good”.
They do have laws against firing for certain reasons. Your case would have been an interesting one – if you believed they had fired you for an illegal reason, you could have made a good case that it wasn’t really a “reduction in force” since their hiring/firing practices evidenced that this wasn’t the case. Then you’d just have to make the case that they used that as a catch-all excuse to fire you for an illegal reason.

Was that link supposed to prove someone’s point?
More importantly, whose point was it supposed to prove? It could just as easily be argued either way.
If anything that just makes it an even better example... it was deliberately made to sound foreign.
That's like finding out you have cancer *and* AIDs.

“AIDS” stands for “acquired immunodeficiency syndrome”. Capitalizing everything except the S is silly.

It’s just bits and bytes in the Matrix...
Maybe he meant clay pigeons.

How do you STOP a radio signal?

The name was the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear. You see, no one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Westley...

It’s more than good enough for me, and that doesn’t mean I’m “full of shit”. That’s really all I wanted to say.
Not serious languages ... extremely poorly written ... barely worked ... dodgy crowd
Oh, sure... why don’t you try to design a website that’s used by millions of people every day? You make it sound like it’s easy or something.

FTFY.

Yeah, that’s likely to work out well in the end. Along with...

Well, that was disturbing. Enjoy the rest of your stay!

Option C: AdBlock. I guess you forgot that one.
That sounds like a lot of work. I’m practically exhausted just reading it.
In the meantime, AdBlock “just works”.

Yes, that’s exactly what he was saying...
More importantly, if the scrolling text is an advertisement for Coke Zero but the video is an advertisement for Pepsi, does the universe implode?
No one likes WBC. No one.
I like WBC. I like how they demonstrate repeatedly that they’re idiots.
