  1. How does this affect work tabs? on Chrome To Introduce Timer To Throttle Background Pages (ghacks.net) · · Score: 1

    I have several tabs open all day long in the background for time tracking.

    They use setInterval for autosaving. As this is semi-important, I wouldn't want this tab to be throttled.

    Will there be an easy to use UI for disabling this throttle on a per tab basis? Perhaps in the context menu?

    "Totally wrong. False post. "New Around Here" should pay more attention to his bug-infested computer and less to trolling /. Not funny. UID should be cancelled. Sad!"

    Meh, sounds more like the anger I harbor.

    Which is more "Fuck you for getting there first" than just "Fuck you".

    I would argue that no one on this site would be against controlling botnets of this size and capability. Half of you already site behind networks ranging in the thousands of devices.

    As always, there are different tools for different jobs. Bluetooth uses much less power than WiFi for example.

    Whereas the other side of the argument has?

    The point being that there clearly isn't enough credible research into this market (I say market, because it's the new cash crop) from either side of the argument.

    My personal beliefs are that it has no negative side-affects, besides some strains giving me a version of whiskey/coke dick.

    Disclaimer: I smoke weed every day.

  7. With Trumps position on libel laws, smart move to project against legal action.

    Still need to project against the ever-in-the-news cyber vulnerabilities. In today's world, physical location only goes so far.

  8. You could've just left the summary as "Wordpress".

    Would've conveyed the same message.

    That's not the approach my household takes.

    My wife still has an iphone 4s (bought her a 7 for her bday next month - but again, because of wear and tear... and constant nagging)

  11. Re:Almost called it as an advert on OnePlus 3T Smartphone Featuring Snapdragon 821 Launched (hothardware.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As a OnePlus One user from when it was first released, they came out with a punch of a product. I love my OnePlus One.

    The only thing I can complain about is that the 2 and 3 haven't had anything worthy of upgrading my 1. And I like Cyanogenmod, I haven't switched to Oxygen yet.

    As my 1 is getting old and is a tad bit damaged, I might pick up this new 3t.

    As it was with the 1, the 3t is half the price of a new iPhone and has better specs.

  12. "Actually Russian politologists have long predicted such a break-up."

    Source?

    Any case, it already happened, which means it'll happen again. Just give it time, people forget history.

  13. "I agree though, if the west and northeast coasts succeed, we'd all get an opportunity to finally see how the two parties float their sides"

    I don't know about that.

    Sure, there is a majority of dems up here, but NH is a battleground state, to that matter, so is Maine. Maine feels like Georgia's lost child sometimes. Eastern MA, as in Boston metro, western MA is red, and CT / RI would probably have better luck, but even then would feel resistance. Don't know much about VT politics, but I think, being smaller than CA, would have the best luck in "floating their side".

    From what I hear, and others have commented, northern CA is red, only the metro areas would see any welcomed progressive movement.

    My wife is eastern european, she constructs her english sentences (sometimes) in the way her native language structures their sentences.

    That is clearly up for debate.

    Their (Canada, et all) system allows for quicker change, but that isn't always good.

    Our (States) system, allows for many more people to block change, but that isn't always good.

    However, change isn't always good.

    TLDR: Government sucks no matter how you roll. But it's better than anarchy.

  25. Agreed, however people down south don't move their mouse with "the typical hospitallllity of us folk 'round here" as opposed to the people up north who couldn't give a rats ass.
