In my country you do get to vote for individuals, it is a preference system so with say 10 candidates if your number 1 choice comes last your vote is transferred to your second preference, the refining continues until the number of candidates left matches the number of seats being contested in your district (usually around 3).
So at the end of the vote there almost certainly will be a candidate that you didn't want in power but at the same time there will be someone who does represent some of your views. As the main stream candidates will have a couple of candidates the better candidate is usually elected. Of course you have no power over other districts but you can only hope that people vote their preference wisely.
handy shortcut to know, especially when you accidentally close 2 tabs when you meant to close just the one. most of us are self taught and we tend not to go much beyond what we need to know. Probably why we tend to get pissed off with ribbons and the like as it throws out what we already knew.
Being taught is also a problem as usually there are a few methods available to do something and just one is usually taught which may not be the most convenient -the ECDL courses seem to be taught that way.
I don't mind learning something new to me, recently my young nephew taught me something (he didn't know he did) on android. I didn't realise that on the app switcher menu list if you kind of flick an app off to the right side it gets removed from the list. That is handy to know normally your only interested in reopening a few at a later point.
A recent slashdot article let me know about suspending by closing the lid on my netbook. A few years ago it was broken and wouldn't suspend or resume properly, so i closed it after a while it went quiet. with resuming in less than 2 seconds it was back where i left it when i closed the lid. It obviously got fixed at some point. Ok it takes a few seconds before it remounts my sd cards and reconnects the wifi and if it hasn't finished restoring it seems to object to suspending again but I'm using that handy feature regularly now.
echo 1 >/sys/bus/pci/rescan as root is another handy one if you have an aspire one as it brings the right hand card slot on line if you booted or suspended without a card in the slot.
So while ctrl shift T may not be new to some people, I bet many would use the recently closed tabs menu option (which seems to take longer as it has to fetch the page again) it is quite handy.
This being Slashdot, and the comments being better than the stories, I expect there will be more useful tips mentioned in the comments. Yes a particularly garbled story with little value in its self, as a starting point for useful comments it isn't that bad. Would you rather read another Balmer story?
I'm not a fan of Microsoft in anyway, quite the opposite but how many articles on balmers retirement do we need? blah blah monkeyboy blah blah chair throwing,blah blah zone, metro windows 8 xbone NSA... Will that do? oh missed the nigger jewish goatse obahma apk gold girl cosmonaut posts
Ok netcraft confirms in Russia moves on nothing to see here...
I'm not so sure if running Linux would be any safer with a machine that has the trusted computer module built in. Does it even need to be a separate piece of silicon or could it be built into the cpu?
Maybe intel inside, might at some point change meaning and at what point does this occur ten years time, now or already?
Maybe Germany might create a demand for non trusted computers but would they keep them clean or just put in their own backdoors?
Ok we know that the USA spies on everyone even their own, but lets not pretend it isn't happening all over the world. Name a trustworthy Government any where.
It's probable that feral rats are living on the same foods we are, it may be that there is a problem with some of the food we manufacture.
One thing a lot of processed food has in common has is a long shelf life and salt and sugar are common preservatives. we know this inhibits bacteria outside our bodies how is this effecting the bacteria within our bodies? Would this make a difference in to how our bodies process food?
I don't diet but I am diabetic and I have become a bit more sensitive to what I am eating, my body weight is steadily dropping and the better I control my blood sugars the less i weigh. I am more likely to buy from the outside aisles. of course it means nothing in the general statistics. I do think it makes a difference.
seriously if I'd spent 10 years running groklaw i think i might fake a suicide to get out of it. PJ must feel several pounds lighter having shed that burden.
She did a great job now maybe she can have her life back.
sorry Izal the medicated toilet paper that given the choice of using it or a bit of newspaper the newspaper is preferable. Usually only ever found (and not in recent years) in public toilet facilities maintained by the local council. practically guaranteed not to be swiped from the facilities, it was that bad. If you took a sheet of grease proof paper and sprinkled detol or jeyes fluid on it, that would be close to Izal
The hospital was in an urban area , I wasn't. in fact if i had called an ambulance the earliest they would get out to where i was living was 20 minutes and pretty close to the same to reach the hospital.
secondly it was chest pains and i figured i needed an ecg so where else to get one but the hospital i'd been in before. Thirdly mostly driving was not a problem the problem was there was no car park at the hospital so i parked in the nearest public car park. Fourthly the reason it got hard was because I had to walk which is why i was getting chest pains on the final stage. Technically it was angina although it was a pretty major restriction.
The way a heart attack works is first a clot forms in a coronary artery. then because there is no blood flow the heart muscle is starved of blood. If that restriction can be cleared within 20 - 30 minutes and blood flow restored the heart should not be damaged. after that 30 minute window the heart muscle begins to die. At this point it depends where the blockage is as to how long before your heart is unable to beat and pump blood around your body at this point you are in serious trouble and you lose your blood flow and if your heart isnt restarted you die. But that could be hours after the initial clot.
In actual fact it was severe angina I was feeling not a heart attack but with the amount of restriction I was pretty darn close to having a heart attack but so far its still 1 and one near miss. Funny thing was the heart attack i had 3 months prior didnt hurt i just felt out of breath. Actually the really funny thing was the day i was in hospital getting my 2nd stent was the day i was due to start a heart rehabilitation course. About 4 days previous i had been on a treadmill, had an ultrasound, and been passed as fit enough to do the course.
It kind of helps to learn a bit about heart attacks once you have had one. It helped me recognise when my friend Joseph had one and i got him to his GP not that far and the GP was able to treat him till the ambulance took him up to the city. Joseph nearly died had to wait for two weeks before he was fit enough to have a triple bypass and a pace maker fitted. Silly old sod wanted to wait till the afternoon for a scheduled appointment with the GP. He's okay these days but I think if I hadn't pushed him to get to the GP he would be dead.
One last thing since a heart attack is a blood clot, you might do worse than chew a couple of aspirin as it thins your blood and might just get the blood flowing again.
Hopefully that will do as an initial reference for that. I actually had plavix at home and I could have taken that my dose at the time was 75mg (at the hospital they gave me 300mg to help stabilize me). Still prescribed aspirin today and to the end of my life apparently but its only 75mg (over the counter aspirin is a lot stronger).
Also while in theory ambulances are available they are in relatively short supply, to make matters worse ambulance crews spend far too much time waiting at hospitals to get their trolleys back. A&E departments are underfunded and it can take a while to find a bed or a trolley to free up the ambulance cart.
Actually you can read what he wrote, just on a mirror of his site. Inadvertently yahoo have invoked the Streisand effect.
It is interesting what he has written and also what he hasn't. One thing was a failing memory that was one thing he didn't like the idea of having to be taken care of in future years another issue was the costs associated with getting old his medical insurance was due to expire sometime next year and he didn't see that as being affordable. Wanting to leave a legacy and not to be a burden on the state. There are other reasons that he wrote about which you can choose to read about if you wish.
What he didn't write about was love, ok he was interested in the future of his step children but there was no love in his life, nobody who was special in his eyes nobody who he woke up with each morning no one who he treasured being in his life. That to me seems key. I'm not young and with my health i can't expect to live to any great age. Do i want to die earlier than i have too? the answer is without doubt no.
4 years ago I had a heart attack and in the ambulance, although i didn't know it was a heart attack i knew it was serious and I also knew I felt i was too young for this! Three months later I had to return to the hospital, but this time i drove myself and with periods of crushing chest pains i got there and parked my car and walked the 400 or 500 yards to the A&E department - maybe the hardest walk of my life. To finally present myself at the desk and say i think i'm having a heart attack in actuality it was a 97% blocked coronary artery. Was a tough 24 hours but after a stent fitted i was ok again.
Recovery in the months that followed was difficult, the 50% rate after a first heart attack is about 6 to 8 years and thats after 30% who died of that first heart attack. Becoming mortal, and realising there was a fair chance that I might not last that much longer was quite depressing, some outstanding long term goals have had to be put aside as I don't see them as viable any more.
On the positive side since then I've met the most wonderful woman around my age (for a change) and loving her makes all the difference. We are living too far apart right now but that we can work on. She is in my thoughts everyday and well I hope we get to grow old together. You see being rich or poor is not that important but being with someone you love is. Without love your life can be without reason.
Thing is you don't know when fate will bring you together but it can happen any day if you leave an opportunity for it too occur. Any way love is why I want to keep on living, trying to do the best I can for the people I care about and why I won't bow out by suicide. Family, friends, and an understanding lover what else matters.
With this 7 till 7 work day it may be saving lives by not having exhausted employees having to drive a couple of hours a day. I wonder how many nap on the bus, and would anyone feel safe taking a nap on a public bus. Of course if it was a public bus service it would be stopping more and increasing journey times still further.
I've done similar journeys usually in a 15 seat mini bus and it is the most practical option.
Has archos ever managed to release a bug free product? I only ask because i've not seen one yet that doesnt promise more than it delivers.
The latest disaster seems to be the gamepad which is so bad they are claiming they are out of warranty even thou they first released them for sale on the 6th of December last year.
After a long series of emails and resets I finally got them to issue a rma since the camera didn't work even without any "buggy" third party software to cause random crashes and freezing and reboots. Once RMA'd they claimed out of warranty. Thats after overcoming the major hurdle that due to the internal (non removable) battery that you couldn't send it by registered post as it wasn't allowed on the plane.
Finding a courier to get it to them at a reasonable price was pretty tricky. I've had 3 other archos devices and each has needed custom firmware to make them usable.
Almost ad free, if you have the BBC News android app that is "ad supported" at least some of the time ( maybe the ads have been dropped) , also if you watch some of the international broadcasts not aimed at the UK adverts are there too.
The excuse for the license fee is that it avoids the BBC needing to fund via outside advertising, internal advertising is quite common. So the BBC tries to avoid advertising on its home markets but the rest of the world is fair game, after all the rest of the world generally doesn't pay for the BBC directly.
So how does the iPad mini fit into this? Think your right Apple didn't go for making a crappier but cheaper iPhone for example even though it is technically possible, it generally seems to have been policy to only make better products, not cheaper ones
Baked goods in Ireland get taxed at 23% VAT when they have high sugar or chocolate content. unfortunately high sugar content means a longer shelf life so your typical supermarket has no interest in stocking any dessert or cake which isn't high in sugar.
10-year relative survival ranges from 84.1% in stage IA to 10.4% in stage IIIC
Survival rates based on SEER incidence and NCHS mortality statistics, as cited by the National Cancer Institute in SEER Stat Fact Sheets â" Cancer of the Ovary http://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/ovary.html
In Laymans terms if Ovarian Cancer is caught early then treatment such as Surgery and Chemotherapy have a reasonable chance of keeping women alive for 10 years or more, diagnose later and the chances are she will die. Screening really is about the only method of catching treatable cancers at an early enough stage that they can be treated since if you don't look for it , it tends to be already at an untreatable stage when it is eventually discovered. Obviously screening doesnt make the untreatable , treatable but it does save lives where early treatment can make a difference. It's not pointless which is what you appear to imply.
you didn't read the article did you? It was actually a bit of clever manipulation by a torrent site who discovered sky was automatically blocking other ip addresses the torrent site was listing as alternate site addresses. So they performed a little experiment listed the torrent freak site as a mirror and sky automatically put a block on that ip address. Thus demonstrating how Sky's automatic blocking is flawed and fairly useless.
Its a bit more complicated than that but summing up Sky thought they could automate whack a mole and instead managed to give control over blocking to the sites they want to block.
Torrent freak were informed and agreed to be a target before hand. I think facebook was also targeted but with little to no effect due to the number of addresses assigned to facebook its believed.
They could just be more open with the hardware, like with a laptop. There isn't a particular reason you couldn't run windows rt , android , chrome or linux on a windows Rt designed device. There are advantages and disadvantages to each OS but with the option of running what the user wants then a windows rt tablet becomes that much more appealing.
It's not like apple makes you run osx on their laptops. You are free to boot windows and linux as well and you can pretty much run chrome as a linux desktop too.
I could see myself buying a Macbook before a Windows Rt machine. Rather sad that Microsoft fears being left in second or third place so much it has to go for a complete lock in on the windows rt hardware. If Microsoft sees its offering as second rate why should its potential customers not view it the same way ?
most is because I assume there must be some android programs I can't run. The only ones I've found have been due to location not android version.
The version of android on my phone is 2. something my tablet runs ICS fragmentation is not an issue. The main app I use on the phone is navigation, umm hows that working out on the iPhone these days;) does it work if you hold it right. Hey it could be worse it could be a windows phone., right.
This is getting a bit too childish in fact we both know that either os is good enough.
Yes but where you say android smart phones cost a lot too, should be android Smart phones can cost a lot too.
I have a gts5570 cost â69 new, no contract it works fine as a phone has the usual gps , bluetooth a smallish screen runs most android apps has a 7.2meg modem which lets me tether. runs googlemaps and navigation. I also have an android tablet which can tether to the phone no need for a second internet connection. I might go for an iPhone if I could pick one up at that price or a samsung galaxy note or similar but I won't find one at that price that is working or not stolen:)
I get great utility from my phone and if it breaks i'll get another one. I don't see a need for a phone any further featured than the one i have already.

I have a gts5570 cost â69 new, no contract it works fine as a phone has the usual gps , bluetooth a smallish screen runs most android apps has a 7.2meg modem which lets me tether. runs googlemaps and navigation. I also have an android tablet which can tether to the phone no need for a second internet connection. I might go for an iPhone if I could pick one up at that price or a samsung galaxy note or similar but I won't find one at that price that is working or not stolen :)
I get great utility from my phone and if it breaks i'll get another one. I don't see a need for a phone any further featured than the one i have already.
