Chrome with 2 tabs (feedly and slashdot) is currently at 1.3 GB. Granted, I have a few extensions installed, but it's still ridiculous. Chrome was really lean a few years ago, but these days it eats memory like candy.
A concept is list of functions and types that must exist for some type(s). It's like Haskell's typeclasses, or traits/interfaces - but implementation is implicit, rather than explicit.
DO set the firmware to disallow charging beyond a known-safe level and/or slow down the charging rate to a slow, known-safe speed.
DO throw up the "this device has been recalled" alert every time the user wakes the machine up.
If you must, disable non-emergency calling and throttle the bluetooth and WiFi to painfully slow speeds to encourage people to stop using the device.
But don't set it to brick when the power runs out.
Why not?
If Aunt Jane or Uncle Bill lost his phone the day before the recall was announced, when he finds it he'll need to be able to plug it in and get his photos off of it.
I'd hope that it still works without charging the battery, so you can get data off if connected to the charger. But phones are always a bit special in that regard:(
Yeah. It can get diluted to the point that there really is no molecule in the final product at all: A nice example of the dilution illusion is Oscillococcinum: It supposedly contains 10^(400) g of an extract of duck liver and heart (it's diluted 200 times with a 1:100 ratio). Compared to that, a proton weights 1.67 * 10^(-24)g. - that is the proton weights about 10^376 times as much.
And it's not only diluting the crap out of plants or stuff, sometimes it's actual crap being used - or urine, blood, or tissue. Or as said, duck liver and heart.
Apparently, at lager stages of treatment there some might also use undiluted stuff. And some others might not dilute as much as others.
Containing stuff that makes you sick is the whole point of homeopathy. It's supposed to teach your body to defend yourself against it:
Homeopathy (Listeni/homipi/) or homoeopathy is a system of alternative medicine created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, based on his doctrine of like cures like (similia similibus curentur), a claim that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people would cure similar symptoms in sick people.
(Wikipedia)
BTW: Animal testing works roughly the same way, so it's no wonder that does not really produce any reliable results either.
Essentially - and my wife is completely obsessed with one particular practicioner, which is why I got familiar with this - the whole homeopathic preparation is some small amount of a "good thing" like an essential oil.
No, you got that wrong. The idea behind homeopathy is to use some bad stuff that produces the same results as the actual illness and dilute that. The idea here being that your body learns to defend itself against the illness.

What you are talking about has absolutely nothing to do with homeopathy. I'm not sure what you'd call that other than a scam.
Like the other one said, that would not be legal due to data protection law.
Another nice (and far smaller) example for these data protection laws is universities and scheduling. Imagine you have a group of students and want to schedule a date for your meetings. There's this nice website doodle.com. You can create polls there and invite people. But here's the catch: Inviting the students by giving doodle their e-mail address is illegal. You are only allowed to share the link to the doodle to the students (because their personal information like name, email address, etc. is protected by the law).
Now, given that, I guess you can easily see why putting government documents in the cloud won't work...
Just to mention one ridiculous use case of PPTP:
In Austria, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands; ADSL connections run PPTP on top of a PPP over ATM (PPPoA) connection. So if you only have a modem (to which your device connects via PPTP), and directly connect your Mac to it, I suppose you are screwed now.
Nah, this printer was already fairly cheap, it was sold at ALDI, the famous German discounter:) [65€ is not expensive, the Office Jets are 100+]
Yes, and the cartridges carry much more ink than the normal XL ones. You can't buy cartridges with that much ink.
You are right, a lot of prints can be done in Monochrome. And I personally plan to get a Monochrome laser printer for myself, as *all* my prints can be done in Monochrome. But this is my parents printer, and they have a strange affection for colors. I definitely still would love to have an integrated scanning and copying solution, though: Copying stuff is just a lot easier if you don't need to scan first, and then print out again. There may be a way around that though: If the scanner supports email, you could just email scans to your print server and have them print on your printer.
A barebones Postscript laser printer with a custom Linux (print) server would be awesome, I'd expect that to have a long lifetime.
The problem is that you require proprietary drivers. HP and Epson printer drivers are free software. This makes a profound difference down the road, and in case you want to use them on more exotic architectures, for example, if you want to use a Raspberry Pi as your print server.
I don't see how that works out.
We paid 65€ for an HP Inkjet and pay 36€ per year to HP for ink for printing up to 600 pages (via Instant Ink[1], 6ct/page). The average printer lasts about 2 to 3 years. Find me a laser printer that is (1) multi function device (that is, with scanner/copier), (2) duplex, (3) supports WiFi with Cloud Print, (4) and has Linux support.
[1] If you print more, it gets somewhat cheaper. Buying ink cartridges yourself might be cheaper, but it is generally not really clear how long they'll last and you probably end up with more costs than expected - Instant Ink makes it clear what your costs are. Not to mention that the first 3 or 4 months with 100 pg/mo were free...
It's an app. Chrom(e|ium) is just the framework (think about Chrome here like Qt for a Qt app). It has its own icon, it's own window. There are not really any notification settings, though, as those are part of the framework (look and place) - you can chose what and if notifications are displayed, though.

With normal use you would not find "several instances of different types of malware" in the first place...

Yes, AFAICT, it's an interface, but implicit - like a Go interface - not the explicit one you'd have to "implement" like in Java.
It is, it only exists to clarify: The next line begins a new block.

Pure luck and/or placebo effect. It is scientifically fairly clear that the whole thing is basically a scam.

Abbrevating Internal Combustion Engine as ICE everywhere when the ICE is the flagship German train, the Intercity Express.
Well done!

Also it's an Epson, so if you don't print every second day, your print head stops working.
The print head is basically irrelevant, as it's part of the ink cartridge anyway, at least on recent HP printers.
Allo is text, Duo is video.

Oh, and of course, Apple AirPrint needs to be supported as well...
I always hear good things about Brother, but their Linux support is unfortunately abysmal.

WhatsApp: You might have a chance of actually being able to communicate with someone you know - especially if you live in Brazil.
Or Germany :/

I'm not defending anyone. Read the books or see the movies and enjoy. It's way better than LOTR
Boo!
