I was an early Gmail adopter, so my address is firstname.lastname at gmail.
I get mail for a couple of other people from time to time, whose address is the same as mine but with numbers at the end. I forward them, assuming I can determine who it is actually for, mostly for the Judge in Texas or the Lawyer in San Diego. There are at least two others, a realtor in Long Beach keeps forwarding me property listings, and I got another for another guy in Texas who bought a bed liner for his truck, that wasn't the judge.
I try and forward them, or at minimum notify the sender they have the wrong address, simply because I would hope other people would do the same for me.
That is the whole point, Ideas can either stand on their own weight, or they cannot, and there is no way of determining that by silencing anyone you disagree with. The problem with censoring "hate speech" is it gives some level of credibility to morons.
The right course of action with the tiki-torch toting assclowns marching in Charlottesville is to let them march and otherwise ignore them.
There is also a lot if intellectual dishonesty going on, from both sides. The left labeling anyone politically right of Maxine Waters as a Nazi or fascist is a prime example.
Just tried this, with no active extensions I currently have 7 instances, 675, 510, 248, 245, 88, 36, 20 MB, so ~1.8 GB of RAM, I had closed a few tabs since last time, it also hasn't been running as long as it was when I added things up earlier. Still much worse than it was before the big update a few months ago,
1.5, not 15, and that was before, now it is usually twice that. Currently there are 6 Firefox processes running, using 695, 380, 354, 335, 305, and 201 MB respectively (so ONLY ~2.3GB now), after restarting about an hour ago. I have 4 windows open with probably 70 tabs spread across them, which I admit is a lot, but this is what I have always done. The vast majority of those tabs are not even loaded, because I haven't looked at them since the last time I had to kill the processes to get it working again.
I have two extensions, Ad-Block Plus (Easylist and NoCoin) and Ghostery (which is blocking pretty much everything it can). I have three plug-ins, all of which are set to "Ask to activate"
Fun thing about the latest update, I can click exit and the application windows close, but the processes do not, they are still happily chugging away in the background using 3 GB of RAM. If There is a YouTube Video playing when I kill it, it will continue to play the audio, even though there is no open FF window.
With the various updates over the past few months, now instead of one process in task manager eating ~1.5 GB of RAM, now I generally have ~5 processes eating up ~3 GB.
The entire Strategic Simulations Inc catalog, from about 1980 to about 1999. There was a slew of excellent war games, plus a bunch of licensed Dungeons and Dragons games.
SSI changed hands a couple times, until Ubisoft acquired them and killed them off.
Pretty much this. I have spent too much time around airplanes, race cars, rock concerts and firearms to be able to tell the difference between the various quality formats of mp3. Plus, I primarily listen in the car, so even if I could tell the difference, the high ambient noise environment makes it a bit of a waste.
Reading the Cisco advisory, this honestly doesn't seem like a huge problem. In addition to needing SNMP connectivity to the ASA (which in any competent installation would be blocked from Internet) you also need the SNMP Community String.
Active ear muffs for shooters have been around for a long time, I bought my first pair in about 1998. With separate controls for each ear, you can tell the direction of sounds to some extent, not as good as bare ears, but not bad. There are a few options now under ~$50 retail, but the problem is they would not easily fit under a helmet.
Ear bud based active protection is also available off the shelf, Etymotic, a hearing aid company, makes one with a NRR 40 with 5X amplification, GSP15 GunSportPro, that retails for $299. It shouldn't be that difficult to integrate it to a radio/mic system.
Is it piracy if the song is posted online by the Artist or label? There are lots of ways to create a MP3 file from a MP4 Video file.
Yeah, quality could be better, but after ~50 years of abuse from airplanes, race cars, firearms and loud music, my ears really can't tell the difference.
I do buy CDs occasionally, and digital stuff from a couple sources (provided it is DRM free), but honestly there hasn't been much I have heard lately that I felt was worth spending money on.
WTF: "six people have died as a direct result of dimming the lights" So in England, any non-urban place that never had street lights in the first place is like a Mad Max movie?
This, exactly. I expect this happens as little as it does because in general, people don't know what it is. They think you are wearing ugly glasses, if they notice at all.
As they get more widespread, this is going to happen more often.
...that no one knows about. He says it used to be a farm, before the motor law.
Autonomous cars, no thanks.
I will continue to daily drive a 31 year old car with a manual gearbox, no power steering, no airbags, and the traction control and anti-lock brakes are both my right foot. Well weathered leather, hot metal and oil...
I have a 6 year old, and that is exactly what he does. He got "the Black Pearl" ship from Pirates of the Caribbean last year, and we built it one time. Over the course of the next month, every time I walked by it, it would be a little smaller, as he removed parts to build other things. First it was the rails, then the cannon, until eventually there was just a Lego keel sitting on the table.
Lego does sell basic block sets, called "Bricks and More", they generally come in blue tubs in the Lego isle.
The "friends" line seems to be response to complaints that there was not much available for girls.

If you try and post or message that link, Facebook gives this error:
You can't post this because it has a blocked link
The content or the page you're trying to share includes a link that our security systems detected to be unsafe:
Which is, of course, nonsense.
It is mystifying to me that anyone thinks having an always listening marketing device in your house is anything but a horrible idea.

Has a bigger tank, and only costs $30.

Great, they will discover Prime and bankrupt Amazon.
Not the first time taking the first result from a Google Search has bit someone in the ass.
Bert from Sesame street appeared next to Osama Bin Laden on some protest posters in Bangladesh back in 2001.

Person who has the laptop now may not be the person who stole it, and may have no idea that is was. Lots of used laptops on craigslist,

That the memory card was missing when he got it back? (Church Lady) "Well isn't that convenient....."
And for "Not edited" the video sure jumps around a lot.

If I spent that kind of coin on a car it BETTER rotate like Jenna Jameson. Just sayin.
