Why do we have idiots all time disputing the technical side of comments? Translating to english, the man said "if I can do it, they surely can do it, and they have vastly more resources than my company".
Everything is a piece of a puzzle. You just need a weak element on the combination of many. At work, they can monitor your machine remotely, or even pay a dummy to look all day to your desktop in an extreme and improbable case (i.e. desktop at work or school are inherently not secure by nature). They have invited people to talk with them while they "visit" their home, and plant bugs in the keyboard, they can send emails or make you visit a page through compromised DNS or injected HTML to plant malware, they can use bugs in the system to plant viruses, use the official Windows backdoors from Microsoft, have some malware installed at browser level that redirects your queries, compromise your DNS to intercept your communications either via malware or via the actual infra-structure you are working (ISP), intercept all your communications at ISP level, or even do man-in-the middle attacks to your SSL connections. At corporate levels, most firewalls do man-in-the-middle attacks to SSL connections in the name of security, and as everything is their installation they install the root firewall certificates in every desktop for the browsers not to bork, or display warnings.
If you cook it instead of buying you can shave some money too. The problem, after poverty, is that people are used to buy everything already made and are lazy. They prefer to "invest" their time in facebook and in Game of Thrones than cooking their own meals.
You are not planning it properly. Cook them in a large pot over the weekend, and freeze them in small quantities inside a plastic bag for the rest of the week. Also get used to lentils as an ocasional alternative; look up in Google for Indian chefs recipes cooking it, they dont need to be in water previously and cook faster than beans. Plus some dishes are tastier and lighter with lentils than beans.
I was taught by my (european) mother to cook rice with 1 cup of rice, 2 cups of water, and condiments. Later on my asian wife and sister-in-law taught me to cook it simple, only 1 cup of rice, 1 cup of water in slow boil. No measuring tools needed at all, and any cheap pot will do.
Aside from considerations against or pro GMO, the bigger problem of all is that in Africa, besides bananas being (cheap) staple to millions, there are hundreds of natural variations, and their natural diversity is astounding. Besides this, lets not forget the Gros Michel was wiped out by a global disease, and the Cavendish seems headed the same way. There is also issues about cross-pollination with the local species. Seems a very misguided idea to mess with that.
No matter how I flag certain messages as spam they keep appearing, and when I tried to open a ticket they played dumb. Also they open a lots of popup windows, I have to redefine my adblock rules constantly. Their prices are also outrageous, and they fully well know it, or else wouldnt show them in a shady way, payment 40 dollars/month for a year... In my privacy settings I disabled the permanent invites to others to endorse me, at least some advantage of having an account there.
My only experience with the Great Firewall is with a couple of chinese students returning home and asking why OUR VPN stopped working, and me not knowing what to say them because I did not want to be politically incorrect. At the end of the day I told them all was ok in our side, and for them to talk to their uni administrator. However I had the suspicion it was blocked, and they might have known it too. So at the end of the day, VPN use is not so linear.
On one hand, tenure has their downsides. Many of teachers abuse the position, either having their business on the side, and instead of addressing students, you have to go through their assistants, or are asses to the students, and generally create an environment that stands between a feudal lordship and a corporate/political ass-licking ladder. I only remember fondly a couple of teachers who really cared, and one of them was one of our really most difficult subject, calculus. The others were rotten apples, and the new arrivals were quickly infected. On that aspect, tenure does not work.
On the other hand, we can see quickly where this one is heading. Teachers outside the tenure, and specially outside uni, are kicked around and little more than cannon fodder, and I sincerely doubt this is not just a final blow to undervaluate the price of man/hour of the whole teaching profession.
Lets suppose a malfunctioning device is crashing my enterprise wifi system. Tell me again, how in earth will I block it, and much less detect it? This is so wrong in many levels from the technical point of view...
Follow the money. How much were this people paid to buy this surplus vehicles? How much will they be earmarked to receive in commissions in the next few years with the maintenance program? We are used to this shady manoeuvres around here.
If you bother to read your own link, it could well be written there, it is refuted Jesus did not exist, but it is not proven he was the one in the bible, and can even be in fact the Jesus guy who washes my car... (I am being a bit sarcastic here, however not far from the truth. If that link is the best you can do...)

Best comment I have read on this thread! Pity I have already spent my mod points...

Arrest them for contempt of the court, as it would happen to any ordinary corporation.
Google is known to have local mirrors, are you sure of what you are saying?

It is rather well know facebook and google are in bed with the government...do they need to intercept it? This is just throwing sand in our eyes...

Poor people are fat because they dont eat properly.
Your house is running Windows Rubish XXIII instead of StallMan XXX? Poor You...

Adbklock solves the problem.

Ask any Russian guys, they (p)own plenty of XPs in China.

I am just commenting about blocking a device by MAC address, but apparently I have a knack to attract idiots...
Exactly, it has absolutely nothing to do with the article blocking a MAC by address...are you retarded, or just a common troll?

To connect vital infra-structure as traffic signs to the Internet-at-large?
Take the continuing part, and you are quite right, higher education IS a ponzi scheme. We need more technical colleges.
So you understand it is BS...you seem to have a future as a politician or in the Vatican.
