You can't visit a website without it having +10 trackers on it either.
Are they breaching the law too? Or is it just illegal if you don't do it to make money out of it?
It's also good money

I didn't really want to discuss the Unity interface since there are other options even if installing Ubuntu.
However, the things that work for me are that I have a netbook with a 10" screen, that I really only use for browsing, ftp, torrent, ssh and some light gaming emulators. Movies in 720p and above are already too much for it.
So I put the applications I use most on the left pop-up bar (terminal, Firefox, FileZilla). And all other applications installed are just easily found through the Unity button which gives a search box. So if I need my snes emulator, I just type nes and it will pop-up. Same for torrent etc...
The menu on top will automatically take the running program menu (same as Mac I think), so it's pretty good at maximizing the screen's real-estate for the application. It also runs much smoother than the Windows 7 that was originally installed.
That's pretty much it.
I have Ubuntu 14.04 running on an 'older' Acer aspire one (a pretty shitty machine, but actually works okay with SSD disk and Ubuntu). .
It's probably easiest to install, you get used to the Unity interface after awhile really. The things it doesn't install correctly I just googled with mostly easy fixes (apt-get this and that). There are actually ways of not using Unity but the old Gnome interface for example. Again, Google is your friend (in this case).
I agree mostly with your opinion, however the context is a bit different.
Salman Rushdie wrote that book in '89. At that time muslim fundamentalism and their treats was a rather foreign concept for the West, as is North Korea. Of the kind "that only happens ''over there' ".
12 years and some planes crashing into the WTC later, shit just got real. So these types of threats are being taken seriously.
typical click-bait: "read here why Pluto still matters...."
How about giving a real abstract on why it matters on the Slashdot post and people can click through for reference and details if they want to.
Cool, thanks for replying!
Yes this was also before the LHC on the smaller loop. The community is probably larger and more diverse now. Also, this is just hearsay of one person's account from a long time ago before the age of social media:)
Good luck with your research!
They tax the perks to a ridiculous extent.
The only thing you can do here as a tax benefit is give employees a company car. Which is still taxed, but less than getting the monthly lease money in cash.
Our company actually had to stop providing a 1-hour per week free gym visit (which nobody used) because after an audit they saw that as a taxable perk.
So we would have to pay taxes on something we never used in the first place.
I had a friend who was a PhD student in Experimental Physics in the late 90s.
As part of his lab's obligations, he had to do some grunt/shift work at CERN about a week every month.
He said unless your life is Physics 24/7, it gets boring pretty quickly. A lot of people there only talk about physics, they have no other hobbies.
There was not much to do besides the Physics aspect.
This seems to have changed though judging from the article, there seems to be social clubs which is certainly an improvement. Still, she (the woman in the interview) says the turn-over rate is huge, people are send there at the beginning of their PhD and get back to their home labs after a while. Looks like that aspect hasn't changed but that's probably true for most University Labs in the world.
As a Belgian, I would tend to agree, except for maybe the South of Europe (Italy for example) whom have far more aggressive driving.
Congestion isn't much worse than you would get in other big cities, except our cities are so close to each other (Antwerp - Brussels : 25 miles) that congestion just flows into one big clusterfuck.
One of the issues is that the highways around big cities aren't bootstrapped for ongoing traffic, so there is no way to swirl around Brussels for example if you just pass by and don't need to be there.
Also Belgium is on the crossroad of many bigger countries ( Germany, France, Netherlands, UK,...) so our roads are heavily burdened by foreign trucks passing through our country. You can actually see that in the crash clip above. You have a truck driving behind a truck that just passed it, while the accident happened another truck was overtaking the truck with the dashcam, and the car who tried to cross to the exit crashed into another truck waiting on the exit.
This is a typical situation here in Belgium. You could say the driver was not cautious enough and should have been in the first lane sooner. However, I drive that highway (the E40 from Brussels to Oostende - sea side) every day to work and you just have a string of trucks driving one behind the other that stretches for miles. It's choosing between sitting between 2 trucks for a couple of miles (which really gives you zero chance of survival if the truck in front of you crashes and the one behind you smashes into you) or just hoping the stretch before the exit clears up and you have a safe passage to get into the first lane.
The closest spiral galaxy to us is Andromeda, 2.2 million light years away.
Andromeda is approaching our galaxy at a rate of 670,000 miles per hour.
Five billion years from now it will probably collide with us.
So, we'll just have to be patient if we want to hop onto another galaxy:-)
No. They will use their metrics based on performance appraisals and the like.
Of course, Performance Appraisals are just to document the bonus you get or don't get.
They would just better data mine browsing habits at work and correlate that with skills and market pull for these.
15 years in between a dupe, that must be a record:)
I love how all the comments in those thread are by people with a 5 digits id or less.
Hats off to you, sir!
Under HIPAA regulation (The Privacy Rule to be exact), you have the right to make changes to innacurate information of any PHI (Protected Health Information) they have about you.
So, yes, you may demand some information be removed by law, and they are legally obliged have a procedure in place for it.
In Belgium, for a murder case, they checked the nearby cellular phone antenna and send all 1,400 phones connected at the time of the murder a message to look for witnesses (aka suspects).
I hope none of the innocent people will be in the vicinity of another one or two murders.
Along the same line (and from the same company) are the Mass-Effect series.
But space-sci-fi instead of post-apocalypse.
Playing New Vegas at this moment, BTW.
What I love about these games is that you get 60-70 hrs of gameplay (still way short of my 260 hrs of Skyrim). Even GTA V felt way short with about 45 hrs (although I loved that game as well).
Plus, these games can be picked up for under 10$ on Ebay for the PS3. Borderlands is next on my list.
What's the gameplay time to beat a FPS in single player mode? 10 hrs max ???
6'4" buddy here.
I always take an aisle seat which gives me the chance to stretch my legs whenever I want too.
If you travel for work, flights are often booked late so you may not have the chance of choosing your seat.
However, I don't mind for short flights (2 hrs). Transantlantic flights (+8hrs) are hell.
Indeed. People are now complaining the cars actually sound like lawnmowers. It's not the high-screeching sounds anymore.
I like the new sound actually.

You obviously don't work in Belgium. Here we see maybe $300 of that $1000 raise.
