With cash and coins in circulation, it does not matter whether shopkeepers have coins or not, they can request them from their customers. Last week the guy ahead of me in line tried to pay with a 100 dollar bill, but the store keeper did not have change. I gave the guy 5 $20 bills and took the $100. He paid and left, as did I.
People have been selling milk and bread for thousands of years without barcodes or machines that read them. You just have to know the approximate price of the item, and take the money. It's not rocket science.
how come some low id Slashdot accounts are pushing the Kremlin line recently?
I think you are confusing "pushing the Kremlin line" with "not believing everything that the NSA feeds us". Those who have been around a long time know that Kaspersky has been a top notch computer security company for a long time. We also know that the NSA has been trying to hack everyone for a long time. Of course we know that the Kremlin is trying to hack everyone too, but we are not going to quickly abandon our years of experience.
Why are these companies obsessed with DRM in browser? I can still do an video and audio capture on my screen as I please, re-encode, and record. This does not help anything.
In my field of research it is easy to differentiate people's intelligence by what software they use for presentations. The smart ones use LaTeX or html for their presentations. Putting an ugly equation up in PowerPoint makes you look dumb.
Could someone recommend to me a newsreader that will integrate several news feeds into a single one? I do not want to use a web site that I have to log into. I just want an app or browser plugin. Thanks.
A calorie may not always be the same as any other, but when you're consuming four or five thousand every day, it doesn't matter all that much.
Exactly. The effects seen in this study (23% etc) are pretty darn small compared with the huge detrimental health effects of being overweight. And you can become overweight by eating too many fat calories or too many carbohydrate calories. The best suggestion still is limit calories of all kinds and exercise.
Yeah! I do not want to have to subscribe to another streaming service! I want all my videos in one service. Everyone else wants that too. Everyone should just subscribe to the one same streaming service that controls ALL content. I'm sure they would not overcharge us. What could possibly go wrong?
You can judge how incognito you are by examining the advertisements are on the pages you visit. For example, if you are browsing around to buy a chain saw on Amazon, and you later get an ad for chainsaws when you are watching a video on youtube or a porn site, you are not incognito. Sometimes I look at the advertisements that my wife gets. They are all for woman things-- clothes, shoes, meds, etc. She is totally tracked. To avoid this I use 1. javascript blockers 2. ad blockers 3. user agent changers 4. random VPNs 5. different browsers for different web sites. I use 3 different browsers for different levels of browsing: A. credit card and banking use, B. everyday browsing, and C. the highly questionable stuff.
Based on the mostly random rare ads that I see, I am pretty certain that no one can piece together everything that I do.
Yelp app? WTF? Are you serious? Why would anyone install such a thing on his computer? (Yes, your phone is a computer.) If I want to find a restaurant, I just open my web browser, type "ye", it fills the rest, and I am at the yelp web site where I can search for restaurants all I want. I do not want your crappy app.
I no longer buy wireless routers. I use old laptops or raspberry pis running hostap. I set them to auto-update so I do not have to worry about security vulnerabilities. For additional network ports I use usb devices. These systems are rock solid.
I have tried Mandrake, Suse, Ubuntu, Debian, Knoppix, etc. Fedora is very good at having lots of easily installable bells and whistles, but still being extremely stable.
None of the radio buttons in the survey does anything when I click on it. This is probably because I am running a script blocker. Why can they just not use the regular old html radio buttons that just work? Why does everything have to be overloaded with javascript bullshit today?
If they really wanted to make it privacy minded, they would make it available from somewhere other than "Google Play". I do not have "Google Play" installed on my phone, and will not have it. Why can they not just put an apk on their web site? And no, just because other people are too stupid to install it that way is not a good reason not to make it available to us.
For the price that you pay for Gillette blades, you can buy dozens of cheap complete razors. All the magic is in the blade. The handle is just a hunk of plastic. I have tried many other razors, I have tried non-Gillette blades on my Gillette razor handle. They all suck. I really do not like Gillette or how much I pay for Gillette blades, but I buy them anyway because they are the best.
Is there a way to read multiple RSS feeds on a single page using my browser? No, I do not want to make an account on somebody's web site which combines feeds for me, I just want an application or web browser plugin that does it for me. Thanks for any help.

As I understand this, it could be easily thwarted by running a VPN. My wife runs vpn on her phone constantly. It is easy enough.

But will they be prepared for the surge of water when a 100 m tall monster rises from Tokyo Bay and rampages through the city?
It is amazing how Republicans complain about Democrats passing laws that restrict "state's rights", but then do the same when they want.

Would someone please tell these laptop companies that the Apple-type keyboards are SHIT!?!! Please bring back the old Thinkpad keyboards.
Yeah, like that, but from a web site that I trusted, like mozilla.org.

That's largely because the information 23andme wants to present has not been proven to be true.
Details, details!
We need more startups like Theranos to save our healthcare system.

I was wondering why there was all that blank space there now.
there's still processes that use tons of bandwidth with outgoing traffic that we can't stop.
Unplug the computer?
