From what I understand, there are, at the very least, local caches (similar to Google Drive/Docs/Email offline). Also, there would be all the info that Chrome keeps locally.
THIS. Obama even ran partially on that whole transparency thing... but now transparency is, I assume, some sort of national threat because we wouldn't want rogue nations to know what we're... doing... with drones... on American soil... errrrr.... maybe if we *aren't* doing it, then terrorists will feel safer.
It's like watching a football game. Root for your team. Smear the opposing team. Doesn't matter what you do, as long as you win. When the refs make calls that you don't like, blame the ref, not your actions (assuming the call was fair).
Maybe you don't need a VPN, but many companies require it. I work for IBM and have to log in to the VPN to access e-mail, test machines, etc. If I don't log into the VPN, it basically means I'm not working... unless I'm writing code on my local machine, which I do occasionally, but even then I want to check it in to CVS (requiring the VPN) and test it on lab machines (requiring the VPN).
I'm right in that average, maybe a little over (pushing 30gb). I work from home. I am on 1.5mbps down line of sight wireless and 512 or 384 (forget which) up. We watch youtube videos on the 3xx setting (380? 324? 340? I forget). Occasionally stream music. We average somewhere between.8 and 1.2gb per day. We download almost no videos, I don't even play online games anymore...
When I called... the guy said he had four "new" weed eaters, all of varying degrees of prices... in the back of his car. All new, mind you. And being sold 30-50% off.
also, the same person had old CL postings for everything from iPods to chainsaws to an engagement ring and posted under both a guy and girl's name...:P
Yeah, we're separating him from any livestock (still separated from chickens, because he thinks they are toys still... he is gradually learning that *not* everything is a toy), introducing him to contact with them on leash for at least a few days, etc.:)
Sadly, it's true. We were stolen from (the stuff was outside)... among other things, a string trimmer/weed whacker/whatever. It popped up on Craigslist later. Pretty sure it was the same one; I actually called and we arranged to meet at a burger joint. I was driving the same car (only car) that was parked when the theft occurred. The guy never showed up nor responded again; presumably, saw the car and took off. It was about 50% off (and advertised as brand new, ha... we'd only used it a couple times...)
A large dog with a protective streak (like a Great Pyrenees!) make amazing guard dogs. When they "stand" (e.g., put their front paws up on something)... well, ours gets close to 6' tall when he's upright. 30" at his hind quarters right now, and he's about 8 months old... over 90lbs probably. He is not a nice looking dog when he thinks you are a threat and barks to tell you so. On the other hand... he's remarkably gentle, especially with kids (livestock guardian dog by breed - we do live on an acre and will have some livestock), loving (if rather independent and sometimes resents being told or forced to do something), and is more or less like a giant teddy bear that gets really upset when something is on his property that isn't supposed to be. Really upset... though, in general, they try to bark/scare off, not attack.
Because it's clearly a logical assumption that interactive media has the exact same neutral effect as breathing air... ?
I'm not one to argue that video game violence causes real life violence... but I see lots of "I bet they all ate bread, too!" type of retorts... which don't seem to make sense. Interacting with a virtual reality sot of thing is pretty different from breathing air, and it seems illogical and silly to try to say they should be treated in the same way.
Do video games affect us? Yes, we know they do. Do they affect us negatively? That's the part that studies don't seem to know. I mean, using slashdot as an example; when stories come out about video games affecting us positively (e.g., increasing spacial awareness or increasing image recognition, or response times, or whatever)... nobody complains and says "yeah, well, I bet they all breathed air, too, so clearly air also increases our spacial awareness!"... because we realize that that would be a silly argument due to the inherent differences in activities. Playing a video game is remarkably different from breathing air. Or eating bread or drinking water. Or sleeping. Or putting your shoes on.
I drive an old suburban. Probably 12mpg. But since it has a 40-42 gallon tank... I get roughly 400 miles to the tank.:) (of course, the typical $100 CC limit per transaction at the pump doesn't fill it up more than about 3/4 of the way, heh.)
... is that the computer doesn't have, literally, hands-on experience.
For example... you have stomach pain. Okay. Where? Does this hurt? Does it hurt if I poke this? Do you have a fever? How high? ("Oh, I don't know, maybe XX"...)...
In other words, you still need someone who *knows* what to do to help diagnose simply to *get* the information. You need someone trained to know where to poke, where to tap, where to see if something hurts. And then, of course, to try to wheedle the real information out rather than the confusing answers patients (note that I am not a doctor, I am a patient) give.:)
As a diagnostic tool, I think it would be a huge benefit. An individual simply can't keep up to date on everything, don't know everything, and can't research everything. Having a diagnostic tool that *does* do all that would be a huge benefit. There would be options and diagnoses that perhaps the doctor had not thought about. Additionally, the diagnostic tool - I hope! - would not just say "Oh, it's this" but would perhaps say "Well, it could be this, and you need to find out this information first... or it could be this, and for that you need to do these tests..."
The idea that a patient, combined with a non-trained non-doctor, can somehow come up with all the right answers/information and a machine can simply diagnose it on the spot seems like a very simplistic view. Perhaps that works with colds, the flu, or warts... but for more complex things... it seems diagnoses tend to work on a "it could be this; let's do more specific tests to find out if it is" type of investigation.
Slashdot Mirror
doh! replied to the wrong person.
(whoops, replied to the wrong person) ;)
Except that, in this case, my inherent (confirmation?) bias grants the benefit of the doubt.

I don't doubt it ... though I thought reading the study would be interesting but I can't find it :)

Opera was the first to do this in 2005.

No, but when you *never* connect to the VPN all day, that says something, doesn't it?

Apple ... using universal standards
Heh heh. That was a good one! ;)
A fair amount of games use the same engine as Crysis 3 ... including Crysis 2 ;)

Genuine Cockney,
I even watched a YouTube video on Cockney. I still can't figure slang out unless I have heard it before and had it explained.
(I'd be checking ... my beer bottle? my throttle? hmmm)
Signed,
A Genuine American.
In general, we geek types don't argue against positive impacts of video games. We only cry foul when negative impacts are suggested.
(yes, I put "buying a tomato plant" in the "positive impact" category ;) )

Assault rifles are black. Apple likes white. So, it clearly can't be classified as an assault rifle. [/snark]
