You were lucky. The oil companies beat me around the head and neck with a broken bottle, sliced me in two with a bread knife, then danced around my grave singing "Hallelujah!"
Exactly. Now that you can make large diamonds cheaply with vapor deposition, things have already changed.
Back in the old days a small defect made a diamond worth far less. Now I've seen people charge more for diamonds with small defects because "you can tell it's a natural diamond, not a man-made diamond." And even the old, worthless, yellow "honey diamonds" are commanding higher prices.
The gunfire metric is funny to me because I live WAY out in the country and I hear gunfire pretty much every day, especially on weekends. But it doesn't scare anyone because out here pretty much everyone has a shooting range somewhere on their property. It's hilly, no one lives on less than 10 acres, and most of us have far more than that.
- many old appliances and dead computers rest in pieces at my place. - I need to find out who it is to the south of me that has full-auto.
True, and that ticks me off. I live on a farm and my less than 2-year-old pickup is beat to hell in the bed and covered with scratches because I USE it.
Seeing lots of pristine, clean pickup trucks driving around is a joke.
I just had Jury Duty this week. Simple criminal case, I wasn't picked for the jury.
But the chatter in the halls by the other potential jurors was scary: "Well, he wouldn't be up there if he wasn't guilty." "Someone that age should know better than to steal!" "He looks guilty as hell." etc.
So do YOU want to be put in front of these "peers" of yours?
Generally, you only need to know about 10% of what comes out of the profs mouth. The rest is just extra examples and fluff.
Back in school I had friends who would write down EVERYTHING the prof would say without thinking. (Seriously, one girl I knew would write down what the professor said when greeting the class. I saw "Happy Wednesday, gang! Anyone seen my pointer?" atop one page.) These people took REAMS of notes and studied them for hours and hours. I took minimal notes and studied them quickly. I usually made much better grades. Not because I am a genius, but because I know WHEN something is important. THAT is the skill you need.
Also, sit in the front, you are forced to pay attention.
So they are charging for fake clicks, which means they are engaging in fraud if FB is behind the fake clicks. And even if FB is not behind the fake clicks, FB will have to severely reduce ad rates because they cannot deliver true clicks.
I couldn't find it anywhere in the article or links, but how long do these games take to play? Is there a time limit per player decision?
I can imagine scenarios where the whole game takes mere microseconds to complete, or (because I remember the old "start compile and go get some coffee" days) games that take hours.
I've made repairs/upgrades to both of my notebooks. Just do a search for any model and you can get parts, which indicates a lot of repair/upgrade/refurbish is going on.
But "A Fistful of Dollars" was an Italian movie. So maybe Europe has been conspiring to keep the US on the Imperial system as long as possible to make us look like chumps in the eyes of the world.

This is why my nightly G&T is so important. I'm helping prevent malaria. It shows I'm a good person.

Heh "broad" brush.
Soon claiming a robot arm did it will be a good legal defense.
It usually takes us a couple days to put in the request, get the tapes from offsite, then restore the data, hoping we picked the right dates.

I believe you are thinking of the late Steve Jobs.

I've had good luck with my PocketBook e-reader. I've traveled a lot with it and it has taken a lot of abuse.
Yeah, that was the first thing that scared me. Non-hashed passwords. Eek.

I stand by my assertion that FB will tank.
RTFA. They did the analysis. 98-99% of their direct-clicks had javascript. 0nly 20% of the ones from Facebook had javascript.
Sorry if I RTFA. I'll try not to next time.
Upshot: Facebook stock tanks again.
And getting that fingerprint-lock locker open after an hour in the hot tub at the gym is damn near impossible.

Anyone find out that information?
interwebs is plural, duh.
Well you would die, or at least get pretty sick, without it.
