Now in Venezuela as well. We had chikunguya last year and now Zika as well. The aedes family of mosquitoes are extremely dangerous, now causing 4 common diseases (dengue and yellow fever as well)
You are right, our economy isn't just a little messed up, it's very much a lot or most of it. However i do think our labor laws are better than in the US, at least in the matter of the worker's rights.
These benefits should be at the federal level. In my country Venezuela here's what happens:
You get paid vacations, 15 days per year, one additional day per year worked Maternity leave is paid and up to 8 months, and can be divided in pre maternity and post maternity. Women mix them up with their vacations to extend the time with their babies. Companies must provide a daily food allowance benefit (sounds good on paper, but inflation is so high, it doesn't do much)
Every company with at least (20 employees i think) must do this
I don't play online, mostly because internet connections suck in my country and i prefer single player games (i like the stories, for me videogames are movies with gameplay). Having said that, i game without internet connection on my pc, and i guess you can do the same on consoles. You can play new games such as Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Call of duty (campaign) by yourself. And for those single player games that require an online check, well, there are methods to bypass them...
I would just give out a score lowering it how unplayable the game is because of bugs. The witcher 3 was released in may and it still is way too buggy. My guess is at this rate i will play both by half of 2016
I have a third gen i5-3570k. I only use it for gaming (fps, open world third person games mostly). Should i upgrade to this 199$? Another one? Or wait? I have a nvidia 970 gtx.
communism: gulags and mass starvation and no free speech and no free press and no freedom of religion and control and fear and genocide and hour long lines to get scratchy toilet paper. that's canada and germany, right?
You just described my country Venezuela. Literally. I'm not kidding. And we are supposed to be socialist.
this is to switch to data when your already connected wifi internet isn't working. it was copied from android 5.0 which has the same (a "!" appears in your wifi signal when it detects internet issues)
Cue console peasants telling me why consoles are great...
Pros: Exclusives. Cheap consoles prices (400$ in a full 10 year lifecycle) compared to keeping up on PC (at least 150$ each 2 years or so). Less bugs because of common configuration. Less DRM. Shitty PC ports.
That has pros and cons as well. For example, i use firefox in our company so users can change their proxy settings when the main internet connection goes down. But when i need to deploy a certificate to 250 users with no tools whatsoever, having a different certstore sucks.
iPads have never officially been charged from USB ports. You get a dialog "not charging", but leave it overnight (even with the laptop off) and you will get *some* charge. It's just very slow.
I also did the upgrade, and only have had two issues: you can't click the power icon to change your power plan anymore. You need to go into power settings in the control panel to do it.
I don't like that windows update downloads updates by default and can't be changed. I liked the "notify to download" setting better. Still, Windows 8 only notifies that there are updates from the lock screen, which is inferior to windows 7 behaviour that actually notified you in the tray.
sure you can disable some privacy stuff using customize when installing, but windows update stills shares your bandwidth to upload updates with everyone else. you need to configure it in its advanced sharing to stop sharing updates.
Although its "share on lan only" feature seems intriguing, a cheap ass WSUS replacement for companies
That only works if you upgraded already, because that's when your product key "updates" itself to let you reinstall windows.
Also, if you have a laptop that came with windows 8, you don't have a product key, as it is embedded. So, DON'T install this unless you already upgraded via the reserve option.
I didn't read the article (this is slashdot after all), but if it's a chrome plugin, would that register key presses outside the browser? The caps key is basically never used in a browser. On my job, users rely on caps lock to type into forms inside our iseries system.
In my opinion the least used key is the scroll lock and the pause key
Sadly the answer is "we do not know yet" Everyone is asking about what happens to your retail key. Will you keep the same product key? Will they give you another? Will you be able to change your motherboard? Will you need to update for your product key to "transform" and work as Win 10 retail from now on? For us gamers, these are the questions.
We experience this issues when the motherboard battery dies and resets the computer's date to year 2000 or such. Since most users aren't admins, the machines can't receive the correct time on their accounts therefore we logon with our admin accounts and the time corrects itself.

Unpaid vacations should be banned.

Think. The governments could see this feature and mandate that all government employess must use Blackberry. Meaning: PROFIT

You know Bethesda isn't Fallout's creator? They only did 3 and 4.
There's a GSM version as well. The DROID brand is licensed by Verizon from LucasFilm, but the GSM version is called Moto X Force.
What are you talking about? Amazon charges sales tax on 26 states. It's only time before they charge it in yours.
you can't compare continue to goto. With goto you can jump to any line in the code. With continue you just go to the start of your current loop

Take your pick.
If you use plain old ethernet cat cable you can't set a metered connection
Do you wipe your ass with your left hand or with your right hand?
Also, is your toilet paper roll located to the right or to the left of your toilet? And does it influence your wiping hand decision made above?
You are simply wrong. Proof: ad blocking extensions available in Chrome.

I'm in Venezuela, sadly this is what we use over here

But for 3-4 minutes we don't have issues.
