I've studied Psychology. All books were American, and because of that my English has improved enormously, but that's beside the point. Most of these psychology books were set up with learning in mind. One of the described this clearly, with the PQRST method.
1) P=Preview: browse through the chapter that you're going to read 2) Q=Question: what is this chapter about? Ask questions to yourself, writing them down is even better 3) R=Read the chapter 4) S=Summary: make a written summary of what you've read 5) T=Test: do you understand what it's about, do you remember?
For the summary, give it some more attention; don't make it so short and concise that you cannot decipher it anymore in a week or a month. If you reread it in a month and you don't know what it's about anymore without using the book, the summary is no good anymore. It should bring that a-ha feeling, just enough to get those things back into your mind. The test part can help here as well.
Funny, I can't remember the last pope murdering health workers. Even if he did - does that make it right for Muslims to do it too?
No it does not make it right. Nothing funny about this. The pope didn't murder health workers. Pope John Paul II is however directly responsible for many dead people in Africa, by forbidding the use of condoms. All this in the name of a corrupt and inmensely rich institution that claims to bring the word of god.
The Americans are responsible for the attacks on doctors
Their fake vaccine programme that preceded their extra judicial murder of Osama Bin Laden is what has caused the distrust.
These murders have been going on long before Bin Laden was killed. Islamic fundamentalists kill not so much doctors, but want to destroy Western institutions in their country. Western medicine, schools for girls, tv stations that air western tv series, etc.
I am not sure who coined the phrase "global warming"; is it a PR failure by the scientists involved or a reporting failure by the news media? To quote a well known meme: "why not both?"
Global warming - I don't know if this is a good phrase of not. I've heard that if the Gulf Stream to Europe gets redirected because of the global warming, Europe will have a cold future. My experience for the past five years here in Europe is that winters have much more snow, and we have more storms than normal. We keep breaking weather records, warmest October, warmest 5 januari, coldest May - whatever. Although you don't know if this a temporary change for like five to fifty or five hundred years, it seems to show that because of warming, the ocean heats up, which results in more extreme weather.
"Scammer intercepts and slightly alters the email" It is not clear for me that it has happend on the wire, as opposed to compromising mail server or customer machine. Has the scammer really captured the email while it was transmitted over http/smtp connection, performed 'surgery' in realtime and sent it further with modified content?
From the comments section, somebody describes similar situation, but first step was to install keylogger on customer PC. Which means we are in point 3, not point 2 from my list.
So we wait and do nothing. Keyloggers become common. We become aware and virusscanners start to detect them. Criminals look for alternative. Voila! It's just a matter of time before this method becomes cheap enough to implement. Why wait if we can fix this now?
So does this mean Intel is likely to fix things and stop being malware, or just business as usual and a increasing the need for ever faster processors to run ever bloated and invasive software?
Next up: Intel Secure Core with integrated virusscanning.
Do you normally walk around with a dozen big, heavy coins in your pocket?
We have the Euro here, and we have 1 euro coins. No problem. Why would I want to have 12 of those things in my pocket? I don't, and that's why we have 2 euro coins as well!;-)
and the Medal of Honor, just for starters. Snowden has done more for this country than our "Nobel Peace Prize" winning President!
You don't have to use quote. It tells us more about the prize than about your president. He didn't ask for it I guess. As I see it, Bush and Cheney are much more to blame, but I guess any president has to account for the failures of his predecessor.
The Four Agreements by Don Ruiz Miguel, easy read, very inspiring, if you're open to this kind of thing. For me it made a difference in my life, especially the second one - don't take anything personally. Just reading the agreements is not enough, read the book because it explains why. Reading the book is still not enough however.... You need to practise this to make it effective. Then read the book again because it has more layers than you realise the first time.
Another interesting read: Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor. This book is about operant conditioning, how we learn things by positive or negative reinforcement, consciously or unconsciously. It explains a lot of things about your own behavior. The most important lesson: positive reinforcement is the way to go, but it won't be easy. It's a fun book! It explains click training, how that works for animals. It's often confused with manipulation; like anything it can be used for good and bad things.
Hey guys, have you ever wanted to buy a workstation with half as many sockets and half as many DIMM slots as the prior generation? What if I remove all the capacity for internal expansion cards so that you can enjoy buying external cardcages? Still not sold? I've come up with the least rackable shape in the history of computing, you'll love it!
Maybe this is an opportunity for mac shops to refurbish those old pro's, and put the new hardware in there?
When one song is put online for illegal download, it's potentially worth $700k, still a lot more than one bitcoin, so I guess this is not "just copying".
A similar study showed that ECT was 73.4% effective in removing memories regarding previous health insurance policies.
I see tea parties coming up, instead of those botox parties. Having a fun afternoon and getting rid of all those nasty evolution theories in your head.
I am a doctor with many years experience working in the ER. I have encountered many schizophrenic patients who have stopped taking their meds, end up unable to cope and need hospital admission.
I have someone close with this illness who takes the medication. What I do know is that this is an advice that is useless in the sense that the people who need this advice generally don't take it from people they don't know. People who take meds, and then decide to stop for some paranoid reason won't be reached with this advice as well.
Don't ever reply with these stupid comments - for any reason - ever!
Do you really think a comment like this makes a difference? Would any mentally ill person follow your advice? If they decide (consciously or not) to stop taking medication because it's no good for them anymore, then they will stop. Comments like these will mean nothing or do the opposite.
The story submitter probably takes his medication, and has insight in his illness. That is about the best you can wish for with illnesses like these.
You really need something that you can break and leave broken for days, weeks, or even months. You need something that you control 100% and you aren't answerable to anyone else for its status. A home lab is very attractive in that respect.
You need virtualbox! I use it for testing our webapps, created an almost identical copy in a local VM. Installing new modules can break things really bad, and before trying anything I test this in a VM. I use Ubuntu Desktop as VM, not the server variant. This has big advantages (for me) over using a server VM. If needed, I can cut the machine off the internet, and use Firefox to do everything locally. I installed a mailserver, then routed all mail so it stays local. The website can mail to existing customers, and it all ends up in a local mailbox. Nobody gets fake test mails. I can open Thunderbird, see the layout of the mails. I can create snapshots at any moment, go back to older snapshots, see how things were five months ago, etc. The trick is not to delete too much old snapshots and given them useful names and descriptions.
Think about this - will the US build in a kill switch into those planes? They can control drones on the other side of the world, why not a fighter plane? Can we trust that those planes don't communicate with a US base and let them know where it is, what's being said and done inside?

Yes, Islam is helping to make Polio a permanent fixture to the human race.
The former two catholic popes did similar stuff with condoms and HIV in Africa and South America. I hope this one has more common sense.

That prevents people from having a decent Tuesday lunch break.

Whatever the actual intent, this redesign will do nothing other than accelerate the exodus to hacker news/reddit.
Do you mean thehackernews.com? I don't see how that layout is any better than the new /. layout. I like whitespace, but here it is waste.
And always test for the null set.
I once tried to get the following into some coding standards, unfortunately I failed: Every program and function should do nothing correctly
You didn't fail, you just failed to notice that you correctly did nothing!

It's another one of those car analogies!
Facebook has an option to download all your data. Do these texts turn up in these downloads as well? If not Facebook violates EU law.
