False. Doctors can share privileged information with other people that have the same requirement of oath of silence under many circumstances. This carries and obvious legal purpose - they can exchange information, ask for advice and so on.
Doctor doing the same thing with janitor is committing a crime. Also, knowing how hospitals work, doctor gossiping with janitor in general will be very quickly spotted by one of the nosier nurses who will report him to the head of his department, resulting in a very lengthy and very painful discussion for the doctor in question, even if no confidentiality was breached in the process.
I am talking about the chinese android phone, not the jolla one. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear in the initial post, I figured that with things like "3g that doesn't work in Europe" and "version 4.1" would make it evident enough.
Such gossip is illegal. Very simple. And even if the law will let you get out lightly, you will likely never practice medicine again in the same area after failing to commit to the rules. This is why medical profession being very hierarchial comes into play - essentially all local clinics, apothecaries and so on are connected and they will all know if someone breached patient confidentiality. This is why there are essentially no such cases, even though yellow press would LOVE to jump on any possible evidence, no matter how flimsy. People that cannot segregate their patient-related protected information from other stuff in their head generally flunk out in university, or change their major to something without this requirement. Those few who make it though the system designed to, among other things, weed such people out typically get caught by internal checks very quickly and get advised to change profession or face the law.
It's not just that people that go for medical profession are typically ones that can handle it. Quite a few can't. That's why they have a lot of courses that are fairly useless to most of the professionals, but help to weed out those who are unfit for the profession. This makes people with specific psychological traits incompatible with profession to flunk out or change profession, something that is typically offered as to help with making the correct decision that would benefit both the individual and the medical community.
From what I heard about this particular model, it has some issues like 3G that doesn't work in some places in EU at all (in addition to having no LTE at all), ROM that comes with it is very buggy (which is the main reason why they update it as much as they advertise it - they kind of have to). And the ROM it comes with is apparently still on 4.1, so you really should get cyanogenmod for it.
So like most of these chinese android phones this one has its issues, that are often not known until someone you know gets one and actually tries it out. Caveat emptor.
Not entirely sure what country you're talking about, hence making it difficult to discuss, but as far as I know almost if not all countries that are counted under "Western" umbrella have very similar legal requirements towards anyone who handles medical information. It's effectively an oath of secrecy, and those who do not have that requirement are not allowed to have the information.
Can it be used "against you"? Certainly. If you threaten to kill someone to your doctor, he's obviously required by law to inform authorities about it. Your attempt to spin this to be something similar to "village people gossiping" however wins no points with anyone who has enough common sense to understand that most stuff they read about in yellow press is bullshit.
You are comparing apples to oranges in attempt to push for a scary hyperbole. Instead you should compare it to the countries that practice similar censorship, such as Finland. We had piratebay blocked something like a year or two ago by a similar court order. And yes, sadly it worked exactly as intended - piratebay popularity among locals is down. Most people don't even know that they can easily access it.
VPNs etc don't become "public knowledge", or more accurately "widely used" because such bans are very narrow and specific, and as a result anyone with understanding on how to set up VPN won't bother - they will be able to circumvent the ban through much simpler means. For example, I just use http://proxybay.info/ to get to a mirror when I need to get something from piratebay. I could set up a VPN, but that would take far more time and effort than needed to simply circumvent the entire ban though a proxy use.
This is the same issue - the ban is so narrow and specific that technically inclined people who would be setting VPNs under China-style great firewall internet management setup will just circumvent the entire thing though a proxy use, while those who are the actual targets of decision, those without this knowledge will start looking for a different site to use or, as those who sought the decision hope, move to buy the content instead.
I think it should, because ultimately it protects the patients, which is ALWAYS the priority. One of the main requirements of medical profession is the absolute trust. One of the biggest problems is that even with current secrecy laws and culture in the profession, there are still plenty of people that feel that they can't trust their doctor/pharmacist enough to tell them the full truth about their medical problems, which in turn tends to result in incorrect diagnosis and treatment.
POTS cannot be oversubscribed for local however, as one circuit = one connection. Remote - yes.
And the entire topic is about reliability of local POTS, which can still connect your call to emergency services on local level while remote connection is down.
Oh, that's actually good to know, thanks! I looked up the transformer line, and apparently it was 100% android before this.
Frankly, I'd pay that extra just for the 768p screen. The one I bought back in the day had a 600p screen and w7 configuration windows didn't fit the vertical space in default size in for many menus, making configuration a pain.
You misunderstand. The goal of decision isn't to block the site. It's to make it prohibitively difficult for average people to find and access them. And sadly, it does work, as most of population doesn't know what "proxy" means. And of course, it massively reduces the chance of discovery with searches.
Let's just say that I hope you don't offer those things to people actually using current EEE PCs. They don't have too many people that liked them which is why they got canceled in the first place. They are imho extremely uncomfortable to use, but I've heard a second opinion from my mother who would be ranking pissed if her current little baby EEE PC died and she found out there was no replacement. But those that did like them tend to be pretty fanatical and phone/tablet OS in the same form factor for people who need those ultra small and light work PCs is about as useful as a brick.
It my mom's case it is useful and loved because it's an extremely small factor full fledged PC that could run x86 software that fit into a reasonably large purse. Apparently a perfect work companion for a woman in her 50s that has to travel a lot for work and do a lot of work on demo floors of exhibitions and business negotiations and doesn't want to carry any extra weight if she can help it. Any non windows on x86 offering is an automatic failure here, as it wouldn't run the necessary work related software.
Sadly they didn't sell all that well. I'm already dreading having to tell my mother that I won't be able to replace her beloved 10.1" EEE PC when it eventually dies. She loves the damn thing to death, and I have no idea why - it was so small and uncomfortable to use for me when I set it up but she actually get her company to pay for it and install all of her work software on it.
Not going to bother arguing semantics, but any dirt that gets stuck between the panels is easily removed by simply removing the back panel and removing whatever dirt got stuck between the panels?
Of course they do. Afks can "fight in WvW". I've seen several people from friend list do that. The entire point of WvW is zero requirement of entry, zero requirement of skill and barely rudimentary understanding of game mode.
If you want to be more useful than 95% of the horde without any semblance of skill, you're going to be wielding a staff as elementalist though. D/D in WvW requires near-melee range engagement (fairly rare and typically short) and offers little to nothing to the team whereas staff offers that massive group utility.
So yeah, if you want to gimp yourself, go D/D. You'll still be better than at least 95% of the mindless zerglings, many of whom are bots anyway. And if you want to min-max WvW, you're going with a staff. End of story.
Clearly, you never worked with medical professionals. They do not gossip about work matters with those not in the same profession/bound by the same rules.
It's one of the most hierarchial professions in the world and for a reason.
WvW is not so much "PvP" as "zerg with random horde against random horde that might just as well be NPCs". That's why I said that elementalists have a niche there - the only thing that matters in WvW is spammable long range AoE. Elementalists are fairly capable in that regard. The mode itself is an excellent example of what I was talking about: there is no depth in GW2. They took a potentially interesting game play mode and made it into 100% spam AoE zerg. There are some small background things, but if your zerg is bigger, you win. If enemy's zerg is bigger, they win.
If you want the zerg mode large scale gameplay, F2P game planetside 2 does it far, FAR better with great amount of depth. And yes, planetside 2 is completely free to play, unlike GW2 which requires a purchase of a full box priced copy to get into.
Not even going to bother with the rest of the points. You're clearly suffering from being very invested in a bad game, and unable to admit to yourself that it's in fact a bad game due to massive write downs you'd have to make on that time and potentially investment. I guess I should consider myself lucky, I could have ended up like you if I didn't get out when I did.
There is a far, FAR easier way to shut down bitcoin. Hit the exchanges, either through legislation or covert means.
Last time mtgox went down, bitcoin lost what, 2/3 of its value over the course of a couple of days? This is the problem - bitcoin represents no value unless it's freely exchangeable for hard currency. The conversion points are the main weak points.

I'm still not seeing the similarity between this and "people in the village gossip".
When they do translate them to civilized language, the don't translate them improperly!
He's likely talking about Chinese versions of said phones, as well as generally phones on Chinese market. At least some of them are known to be open.
