Actually you make a pretty good point. While I wouldn't say any of them are causing me pain, I've definitely suffered a lot of annoyance from cheap power supplies or bricks. These often emit a high-frequency whine that many people can't hear.
Now, generally the commercial stuff is a bit better, but if they're using cheap wifi routers in the classrooms etc then it's possible that they had a noisy brick of two. Doubtable that it would drive somebody to suicide though, and if she heard it others of her age should have as well.
This seems to border on the assumption that "ladies of the night" aren't people, and don't have friends etc. I had a buddy who regularly stopped to chat with the corner ladies, but to my knowledge did not engage their services. I've also hung out with a few gals who I didn't even know were in that particular occupation until somebody told me later.
Yes, but on 32-bit windows, there are other ways to run popular services (i.e. Netflix), but on Linux the only way I'm currently aware of is to run a full fledged Chrome (Chromium won't cut it) and have the libnssX libraries installed.
I just recently set up a laptop for a family member to do this. It runs 32-bit Mint and they stream to their TV via chromecast.
I've been thinking that sometime next year might be a good time to buy a VW. The more dirt that comes up, the worse their reputation. This in turn will likely have a negative effect on sales unless they offer some good deals/price-reductions. Along with that, the EPA and various others are going to be up their ass BIG TIME if they pull any more crap (and thus they have an incentive to be take extra care to toe the line in the next while).
And even that doesn't mean that *I* (or any other entity) need to retransmit your speech. It's just a guess, but if this were an Islamic or Jewish religious message I'd bet Mr Dawkins wouldn't have much to say about it being blocked.
NO religious or political messages is a reasonable policy so long as they don't start picking and choosing.
Personally of rather see no f***ing ads at all. In a theatre where I paid money to see a show, 10-15m of ads is disgusting.
Various adblockers already have the option to load but not display ads. It's a waste of bandwidth, but likely defaults this measure and at least reduces the annoyances/infections.
The new BB with slide-out keyboard running Android looked quite interesting to me and was potentially going to be my next phone. Looks like that's not going to happen now.
Similar issues in Canada, where - so long as ingredients are mentioned in some book somewhere - you can make a natural remedy and have it on the shelves regardless of whether it really works or not.
Because when you claim to work for a "higher being" then you still get to claim some of the glory, while shifting the blame to "$deity works in mysterious ways" or "it is $deity's will". People will do a lot of terrible things in the name of a higher power that they might not for mere mortals, even though that where the actual message is coming from.
Look at all the idiots that supported miss "I've been divorced 3 times and cheated but marrying gays is against God's will"
Does anyone win when there's little left but a smoking hole in the ground? Even then there will probably be some people left over, and they're probably going to be feeling very angry towards your country. Bombing a hospital with civilians certainly didn't seem to win any points, and it's not like that's the only incident of collateral damage. Angry and hatred seem to a good foundation for recruiters of future terrorists. Hell now we have westerners flying off to join them...
Of course I'm not sure that my solution would be much better. When we catch the bastards, start sending them back minus a few important bits. It's not like they can respond more brutally than they already do. If they don't fear death, maybe we need to find something they do fear.
Actually, game-chat would probably be a good (for them) way to hide certain types of planning. I'm not saying it's true, but for a modern shooter or perhaps FPS, they could simply substitute "game" targets for real-life ones, and otherwise the conversation might sound much you would hear in some games.
OK, so sneak your infiltrator into the enemy Science Centre. There will be about 3 guards in positions X, Y, and Z. Group B will take them out, then you delivery the package by 14:00. Meanwhile group C enter the mass relay by 13:50, and take out all present. Group A will attempt to take out enemy power infrastructure and cause confusion at 13:30.
Maybe some of it would sound like weird BS, but would *you* suspect that some of the weird guys in CoD were actually plotting nefarious things in real life? Some of the shit that trolls said might be a good cover too, as most sane people either mute them or just ignore it. As a mid-level gamer I'm not sure I could tell the difference between a real-life nutball and the online nutball variety.
And in a lot of places, there's a lack of effective management because they've essentially been neutered, and are afraid to crack down on bad employees without a lot of history and an airtight place. This leads to places that end up with periodic "purges" because - short of getting caught pissing in the coffee pot - management is afraid to deal with employees f*** ups in the short term.
Unions sometimes exaggerate the problem (they do fix other issues) because their mandate has them defending some fairly vile/useless people because "everyone is equal". This screws other employees over doubly because a) The shitty employee's lack of worth ethic and/or poor mannerisms negatively effect co-workers b) The union is busy defending said shitty employee at the cost of time that could be dedicated to helping good employees
And yes, I've been in union leadership. Some people see unions as a big nebulous body but the fact is they're made up of people, and often have finite resources (manpower+funds) to deal with issues. Bad employees tie up those resources.
When it comes down to the "women in tech" (not just coders) issue, I wonder if perhaps it's also partially constrained by area or market. Where I work, yes we do have somewhat more men in a sysadmin type role. However - in this and many of my previous jobs - female presence in management (and more specifically management of technical types) is actually fairly strong.
I actually had a short discussion with a female co-worker (also in IT, and she kicks ass) regarding the choice of the current Canadian government to deliberately fill cabinet to be "gender balanced". This is despite there being more male MP's etc. Basically, it's a kick in the head to the women who *DO* work hard and get their roles based on ability. I'm not saying that women should put up with sexism, unwanted advances, harassment, etc in the workplace, but whether you dimple or you dangle in the end it should be able ability and skills.
Too soon might be never. It's been *years* and I gave up on Chinese sources (and am fairly wary of domestic) for stuff like microSDHC cards because the bad/fake (i.e. a 2GB masquerading as a 32GB) ratio was fucking terrible.
I was mostly thinking around battery life. Constant Bluetooth transfers can have a significant impact on battery life. It also means you'll have to charge both devices.
What tends to suck is the lack of consistency between phone designs. Not that all phones should be the same - especially between brands - but standardizing on something like - say - having the charge/microUSB port on the bottom would be nice and could help a lot in the accessories market.
In my experience, that's generally been used hooking into an external software (or an external system running software) such as MythTV or an HDHomeRun device, etc.
That allows it to manage recordings but I don't believe it has any built-in functionality for such.
Yeah, I would say the first thing they should drop it on is ADS. Most of the malware and other shit I've seen lately seems to be on shitty ads lurking in legit pages (e.g. you're on the download page for X but the ad has a download link which looks like the real one, but which actually installs Y)
Yeah. I have a buddy who's Iranian (albeit non-muslim). He's said that the government there can do some pretty horrible things to you if you're a non-muslim and get away with it. However he also stated that most of the citizens are good people, and tow the line religion-wise so as not to end up on the wrong side of the hardliners. I see a similar situation in most countries. Unless we put our heads in the sand and pretend that abuse by "religious" groups, police brutality/abuse, racial abuse etc don't happen in North America, then can we really pretend that we're much better. Yes, maybe the hardliners are worse (most Christians, no matter how awful, generally aren't chopping off people's heads in the name of God anymore) but when it comes down to it the "system" gets away with what it does because most people are trying to avoid their own entanglements with it...
And that sort of shit is really what burns my ass (and I`m not Muslim). Yes, some Muslims did stupid, terrible shit. In more recent ``Christian`` history, we have Kim Davis getting a standing ovation to fucking eye of the tiger after being jailed for multiple instances of contempt because she refused to marry gays like her fucking job says to (apparently it`s against her religion, while her 4 marriages and infidelity weren`t somehow)
And we conveniently forget that in Iran, the major reaction to 9-11 was not celebration but actually this, because they recognize that - regardless or religion - all lives are valuable and a terrible thing had happened. Despite that, some people still want to put Iran in the same camp as ISIS (guess who was fighting ISIS before the rest of us got involved), and major outlets like the New York Times had articles that advocate an unprovoked bombing of Iran as a better alternative than a peaceful settlement.
I`ve met some pretty terrible Muslims in my life. For the most part they were holier-than-thou assholes that thought that praying twice a day made them ``good people`` in spite of their conduct. I see the exact same shit from certain members of Christian churches, as well as Jews, etc. There will always be bad people out there, and there are plenty who would use their so-called religion or beliefs to pretend they are good whilst actually doing evil.

Why not just "temporarily enable all this page" instead of using a different browser?
Probably a lot longer than the time until you replace it with a bigger SSD that is now a lot cheaper...

The only place I've seen this is in Korea. Canada, USA, and IIRC Australia all have get-what-you-can seating
