I run Chrome with Matrix (that's meant to be a mu at the beginning) and when I hit the link, got the same blank screen. Checking Matrix, all I see at first are some pending Forbes subdomains. Enabling those gave me the "Quote of the day" interstitial and a working link to the article. And a dozen or more ad-farm domains which are blocked.
Having used NoScript on Firefox, I resisted Chrome until I got this new laptop and really wanted the "full Google." Matrix is great but it seems way fussier in its blocking, But I've also seen how some ad sites will effectively block first-party rendering unless they're enabled or completely eliminated...
I still have my mom's first ever VCR, a Beta unit from waaay back with a wired remote and ~$900 price tag. No clue if it works, but I have a few tapes for it.
My wife's stepmom is forever trying to give us VHS apes from the thrift market, for our daughter to watch. My daughter has Netflix and a Kindle - there is no way she'd put up with linear program viewing now...
Woooooooow. You are one civil grammar Nazi. I'm probably not going to get anywhere with this, but you do know that other languages treat collections differently? Or the GP may have misapplied plurality to the wrong word in the phrase?
In England, for example, a company's name is often treated like a collection, not a single entity: "IBM have announced upgrades to Watson." So learning English may not be a complete answer.
A few months ago, my main Windows laptop died and my wife uses the other one for work. I had an old Dell e6400 I got in pieces that I managed to cobble together, and I threw Mint 17 on it. I used it off an on as a basic net / email appliance, but as of a couple weeks ago, I set it up for development with Eclipse, Postgres and Squirrel. I also dove in and got my keybinds done the way I wanted and made a few tweaks here and there.
I also got my hands dirty getting Wine up and running to play Final Fantasy XI. After much driver work, log diving and a failed RTFM on my part, I succeeded!
After putting my hands on a couple of Win10 machines lately, I am *so* glad to have this one Microsoft-free.
The retweet was a bad move? Am I missing something here? You should only see RTs from people you follow* and unless you're following people with "diarrhea of the mouth," why wouldn't you want to see their tweets? Then again, aside from several like-minded feminists and political/cultural types, I mostly follow news outlets and journalists. Most RTs I get are usually interesting or easily skipped.
*This doesn't count promoted tweets. Once, I got a few tweets for a doctor across the country from me. I tweeted him about the georaphical unlikeliness of my ever visiting him, and he said he'd check the analytics.
Ever since the days of the old "Tobor" electronic robot toy, any time I see a seemingly-nonsense name, I reverse the letters. Not surprisingly, this resolves to something a fair amount of the time!
At least? Yup. Point of failure #1 isn't even in the case, it's in the brain of the person thinking about buying this garish monstrosity.
Bear in m mind, I LOVE the belts and the seeming use of electromechanical elements. But the visual design is so... painful to look at with its dragon's worth of scales, ridges and pointy bits.
Can't vouch for the quality of Wing Commander or Resident Evil, but Final Fantasy 13 had some excellent storytelling mixed into the expected action setpieces.
I have to run to a birthday party, so I can't mine links for you. But I think two separate studies on the data (including some of the administrative fields used behind the scenes) strongly indicated a majority of female profiles were either staff-created or used once then never checked again. One of the big tells was how many times a user checked their AM inbox and/or sent messages. If these values were one or zero, then, likely a dead profile, regardless of gender.
I think there were fewer than 20,000 marked-as-female profiles with identified usage behavior, versus the tens of thousands of males.
My company offered this too, and with their remote-wipe installed. I said no. I tried to install Cisco AnyConnect for VPN but, shocker, our company won't enable the mobile device license on the Cisco gateway.
Strange that a VPN gateway cares about the hardware running the client, but whatever. I just use the webmail access and I'm good. But dang... remote desktop in a pinch would be nice!
I had just such a grandfathered contract, and really didn't want to let go of it. But T-Mobile's family pricing TWO YEARS AGO ate Verizon's lunch and it's only gotten better for me, relatively. I am a high-usage customer (98% personal streaming to phone, 2% tethering when on family vacation) and I'm quite pleased with what I bought.
If I had any real criticism of T-Mo it's that, even in some densely-populated areas, their data and sometimes voice signal sucks eggs.
The number of months when I exceed 30gb is probably greater than those under. Though I don't do much tethering, since my family all have T-Mo and the rest of them have the "unlimited, with first ~2 gigs at LTE speed" option. I have full unlimited and have yet to notice any throttling.
Even that one month on vacation where I *did* tether since the kids wanted to get online with their new Christmas present laptops at our no-local-internet cabin and both wanted to do full Windows updates. I think I hit 9 gigs of tether and I only have a 5 gig tether option.
And it is a pain in the ass to have to check every pocket first [...]
Headphones. For my kids it's headphones. Dunno how many times they''ve washed their cheap Skullcandy sets. Miraculously, they still work after a wash or two. But they definitely lose some over time as they buy new ones every 6 months or so.
Heck, I thought I'd lost my nice Plantronics Bluetooth earphones when I left them in my pants and someone didn't hear me to get them out before starting the laundry...

Does this apply to Chrome on desktop? I use it, and (mu)Matrix to block a majority of scripts and the common ad networks.

You made me smile! You win!
Out of curiosity, which part was colloquial British slang?

Regardless, please have a nice day!

That's ludicrous, I say!
Where have you been? This is the sort of copypasta that made this place great back in the day!
Do you honestly think the sort of person who is playing the system this way *isn't* running an adblocker/Noscript?

Ha, I see what you did there... And now I hear it too. Thankyouverymuch!

So you're saying the queens they played with did not excite you?

Sounds like someone hasn't tried Lynx ^^ Or Noscript?
Best part is, should you go to trial for the burning of he house and/or the burglar, just say you thought you saw a spider.

Good luck, mate! I'm still holding out hope for up-to-date documentation on the new Beeman spectrographs...
