"He medical community is speculating that a cluster of infectious carriers somehow survived longer than was previously believed possible, or that there is a previously unknown means of transmission."
I have a crazy idea that apparently the group of "medical experts" haven't considered. Maybe someone who was infected traveled to Liberia from somewhere else. You know, instead of some sort of magical disease-resistant silent carrier bypassing the normal incubation period. Seriously, they didn't think maybe that happened?
"Not too long ago I had a similar experience when applying for a job online (ironically for an entry-level IT position)"
That would likely be Tek Systems Inc he's referring to. You know, one of the largest IT staffing company in the US. They did precisely that to me as well. I changed my password immediately to one I don't use elsewhere.
1. set up an offline account by not connecting to a network while setting up Windows
That's actually the only step. It avoids all that Outlook.com bullshit.
Depression? Who has time for that?! I've got customers out the door, tax forms to do, end of month accounting, interviews. You'll have to schedule depression with my secretary. Mornings are kinda tight for me though.
Crosstalk? It's optical. make the casing out of an opaque material. I didn't think EM radiation and radio waves, etc can create new photons inside of a plastic material. What crosstalk are they talking about?
The ACTUAL solution to this is for Samsung to stop buying hardware components from vendors that submit non-working drivers to Microsoft for inclusion in Windows Updates.
Yeah, the article is super accurate..." Now here’s the funny thing: BackBlaze’s experience with the 2TB Seagate drives was flawless. It had zero failures." http://www.newegg.com/Product/...
Oh good, another pissed off writer talking out his ass and mixing up corporate drives with personal level drives. Anyone who puts HGST's garbage above Seagate clearly has their statistics messed up. We don't know the conditions the drives operated in. How old were the power supplies? Was there vibration in just one rack? Was the whole place operating at 90F?
I love how they say "BackBlaze’s experience with the 2TB Seagate drives was flawless." Really? Because over 1000 people on newegg say they're crap no matter who you get them from. Oh wait, that's the non-commercial drives that we all ACTUALLY USE in our desktops.
If you're interested, here's the truth:

I'm not big into donating money without heavy research and that's annoying. Like who knew the Red Cross was wasteful and mismanaged bullshit, EVERYONE knew that United Way is bullshit and their CEO was stealing money and they funnel money to political bribes and lobbying, and it turns out Compassion International is practically flawless but has bad rumors spread about them. That's A LOT of research time.
I tend to find out what a small, local-ish organization needs and then get them precisely that. Like if they need cleaning supplies or computers or toner and paper, I get them that. Then it's practically impossible to misuse. Money can go anywhere.
Loading drivers in a similar manner as hibernation pre-boot is a horrible idea considering drivers are how viruses bypass the UAC most of the time. The order in which it turns off hardware devices is misleading and dangerous on all Windows 8 laptops. The whole EUFI thing is BS. UAC basically doesn't even work at all on a basic level and they haven't fixed it since Vista. So really the kernel isn't anything special aside form performance modifications.
Here, let me run MS for a second.
- Fire everyone responsible for Windows 8's design
- Fire anyone who thinks charging for products over time is a good idea
- Fire anyone responsible for UEFI and attempt to press criminal and civil charges against them for it
- Fire all H1B workers and hire Americans or green card citizens
- Fire anyone who thinks releasing a new mega-update to Windows every year is a good idea and strongly suggest they go work for Apple
- Fire anyone who thought touchscreens would take off as a primary input method for laptops because they're too stupid to be a functional human being let alone do their job
I could have sworn I learned in school that the release of nuclear fuel in the upper atmosphere, like if a rocket exploded, would destroy the entire planet.
Try that shit in the US where I have multiple concealed weapons. They try jumping me on the street because they didn't like my Facebook post, they're taking bullets to the head. I'm fairly certain guns are practically banned in most of India and this is probably why. They want only the rich and corrupt in power to have guns.
Time Warner really likes to block downloads of the Tor Client Bundle. Everyone go try and download it right now and if it doesn't work, report them. 1000 or so reports for the same thing should show up on their radar.
I agree. There are VERY basic rules and patterns that would be one line of code that would have improved it immensely. This was practically random with almost no hope of purposely coming up with a valid sounding card. Something like black cards can't do direct damage to the other player without a secondary effect or trigger condition. That's a universal law of MTG and yet it prints a black lightning bolt.
There is no company called Oculus. It's called Facebook. Facebook bought them. Microsoft is working with Facebook. WHAT?!
So besides that, everything MS touches dies. They can't design anything that customers want anymore and they turn everything into a money-grubbing, ad-infested, piece of garbage that they shove down users throats by abusing their monopoly. Oh now I get why they're working with Facebook.
I recall hearing that there won't be any more easily accessible fossil fuels by 2042. Good job, guys! Plus, 2100 is just in time for everyone to be dead from climate change.
If they're using simple GPS, that's too many people to notify one at a time. It just won't work. They would be better off just tightening screening and long distance transportation hubs like normal.
Since aiming a gun with the precision required by Fallout games is impossible with a joystick, they should have skipped consoles altogether. I felt the same about skyrim and everyone that played it told me that archery is impossible on the console version. Joysticks are for racing and flying games, not gun aiming.

You can always check out http://www.tonerbuyer.com/myli...
They have okay prices and they pay the shipping.
I'm glad it's not just me. I was just thinking that I've known about July 29th for like a month now, maybe more. This is so not news.
They already have this. It's called Dance Dance Revolution. It can reach over 1500 calories burned per hour on heavy mode.

...that H-1B workers need to stay the hell out of.
Why would "researchers" even bother? Apple is just going to sue them and cover it up. Don't they read tech headlines?

And on the same topic, why are you such an unbearable, arrogant, fat bastard that everyone in the world universally hates?
