No, the better comment (a long one), and very appropriate to today's society, comes from The Cat Who Walks Through Walls:
Gwen, my love, if one tolerates bad manners, they grow worse. Our pleasant habitat could decay into the sort of slum Elli-Five is, with crowding and unmannerly behavior and unnecessary noise and impolite language. I must find the oaf who did this thing, explain to him his offense, give him a chance to apologize, and kill him.
There must be an easier way to not hear videos which autoplay. Something like a mute option which could be easily accessed from the desktop.
Perhaps, and I'm just spitballing here, maybe if one's speakers could somehow be turned off so no sound could emanate from them. It would be up to the discretion of the user to turn the speakers on when they wanted.
*sigh* I guess we'll have to deal with this complexity since there isn't a simpler method to not hear audio.
This shouldn't come as a surprise. This entire administration has been built around two policies: A) if Obama did it, get rid of it and B) mysticism and flimflammery over science.
This is the same man who said he wants to bring back coal despite its known hazards (acid rain and greenhouse gases to name two), and recently upped tariffs on solar panels which will all but destroy the thriving solar industry in this country, an industry which has more jobs than oil, coal and gas combined.
This is the same man who denies climate change, yet says he needs to protect his failing Irish golf course from climate change by building a sea wall.
“If the predictions of an increase in sea level rise as a result of global warming prove correct, however, it is likely that there will be a corresponding increase in coastal erosion rates not just in Doughmore Bay but around much of the coastline of Ireland. In our view, it could reasonably be expected that the rate of sea level rise might become twice of that presently occurring. As a result, we would expect the rate of dune recession to increase.”
“As with other predictions of global warming and its effects, there is no universal consensus regarding changes in these events,” it states. “Our advice is to assume that the recent average rate of dune recession will not alter greatly in the next few decades, perhaps as far into the future as 2050 as assumed in the [government study] but that subsequently an increase in this rate is more likely than not.”
Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 28, 2014b
“You take this little beautiful baby, and you pump — I mean, it looks like just it’s meant for a horse and not for a child,” Trump said. “We had so many instances [in which] a child had a vaccine, and came back and a week back had a tremendous fever, got very very sick, and now is autistic.”
That he would now defund the ISS is inline with his anti-science stance. Because he is incapable of seeing any benefit to its continuation (who needs scientific research anyway?), and he can't make a dime off it, it's no good. And especially since Obama touted the numerous successes and scientific knowledge coming from it.
The bonuses will be determined by an employee's length of service. Those workers with more than 20 years of experience will qualify to receive the full $1,000. However, workers with less than two years of experience will receive $200, a Walmart spokesman told CNBC.
A one-time bonus benefiting all eligible full and part-time hourly associates in the U.S. The amount of the bonus will be based on length of service, with associates with at least 20 years qualifying for $1,000. A discrete one-time charge will be taken in the fourth quarter of the current year to account for the bonus; qualification will be determined before the end of the month and payments will be paid as quickly as practical thereafter.
As to the difference between the income of those laid off and the bonuses, this article cites the bonuses will cost $400 million. This article says 9,400 people are being let go during the layoffs. Simple math shows $400 million/9,400 = 42,553. If we assume those being laid off made that much in salary and benefits, then after one year, the amount of money saved by laying off those people will dwarf the one-time bonus amount.
Information wants to be free = people want to be free
Fine. Give us your real name, social security number, your bank information, and your credit card numbers. Someone will be along to free you of your money in a few moments.
These drone attacks came not long after a mortar barrage at the same base in Hmeimim, Syria. In that attack, two Russian soldiers were killed and seven Russian jets were either damaged or destroyed, with another report saying up to ten planes were hit. Of those confirmed damaged, only two returned to operational service.
Whoever is behind these attacks has a high level of sophistication and operational awareness. With the ease of making and using drones, expect to see more such attacks and in even greater numbers.
It's still obviously much more the police's fault than his.
Hogwash. The responsibility for this man's death lies solely with the criminal who made the call. It's called proximate cause.
But for his phone call, the police would never have gone to the residence and interacted with the man.
This murder lies solely with the criminal whose panties got in an uproar and who thought he'd be tricky and get back at the guy. Congratulations, he played himself.
But ultimately being exposed to different information than you're used to isn't tantamount to an injury. It's good for you,
Which is why Republicans are continually trying to kill NPR. It exposes people to different ideas, different points of view, different lifestyles, different people. That can't be allowed to happen.
Imagine the chaos which would ensue if people could get information about what was happening not only in their country, but around the world, and not be told what to think.
These are programming flaws. Programmers are never held accountable for anything. Every time something like this is reported folks on here make up every excuse why it's not the fault of the programmer.
I am not a developer, but once or twice in my life I did go to SourceForge (for whatever reason), so I checked out the redesign.
The site is so advanced two of the major links don't work. I don't mean they go nowhere, I mean they literally do not work. Clicking on the 'Join & Create' and the 'Browse' buttons causes nothing to happen. My cursor doesn't even change to signify a link.
SourceForge: so advanced we won't let you join or see what we're doing.
As always, this is why you never let a web designer design your web page. They're more interested in shiny than functionality or ease of use.
A) Broadband companies have received well over a billion taxpayer dollars in both direct and indirect subsidies since the Clinton administration. How can providing them with more taxpayer money possibly do any good?
B) With the massive tax cut just implemented, these companies should be rolling in dough and not need taxpayer help.
C) Why is it when we hear about subsidies for wind or solar we're told those companies should either stand on their own or die on the vine, yet for established, multi-billion dollar companies no amount of taxpayer funds is ever enough?
Keep shoving those updates down people's throats. Don't give them an opportunity to not update. It's not their machine anyway, so why should they have a choice when or if to update?
Some users on Twitter are reportedly stranded abroad without funds."
If only there was some form of exchangeable item these people could use. Something accepted everywhere which could easily be carried on their person to pay for goods and services.
If only such an item existed. That would solve their problem of having no "funds".
Why would anyone but an Apple fanboy buy one of these items? They're overpriced, underperforming and as this article relates, non-upgradable. At least not without another expensive trip to an Apple store, and only an Apple store, to pay for even more overpriced products.
It's almost as if Apple is deliberately trying to keep their market penetration for PCs in the single digits.
Did Holmes offer to sleep with everyone at Fortress to get this money? Because that's the only way I can see this fraudster convincing them to pour money down the black hole of her scam.
How many times must it be said, this is a scam. A fraud. A fake (to use the current parlance). This process had no chance of succeeding because there was no process. To this day she still has not let anyone review her supposed methods, nor has she submitted any paperwork to the FDA.
Let it die the in the throes of a thousand lawsuits.
If you have to put out a list of words which shouldn't be used for whatever reason, it's still a de facto ban.
They can try to spin it all they want, but if real words, words used in the medical and scientific community, cause that much outrage in certain people, perhaps the people are the problem and not the words.

Not sure what happened to "just come in, be a decent person and enjoy the scene".
Like the people at this concert?
Sarcasm isn't your strong suit, is it?

Of course you could cite credible sources and prove your case.

Among that group of employees, only those who have worked for Walmart for 20 years or more will get the full $1,000, Walmart told Business Insider.

Block all such scripts using add-ons such as uMatrix.
It's truly amazing how fast pages load even on older systems when this technique is employed.
Hence it is still unclear whether life can actually be created from non-living matter in an evolutionary process.
Except for every single baby, human or otherwise, which is born everyday, right? Unless you think sperm or an egg is living matter.
