I have to pay for SMS - I declined. I barely send even 1 sms per month. Now, teenagers, they were texting a whole lot. No more - whatsapp has replaced texting completely in that age group. In other groups it has added a communications ability that is very useful.
Ever since I have whatsapp I use it for work, for family, for leisure, and for the neighbourhood stuff. And if I have to ask someone a quick question, it's through whatsapp rather than mail. The kids sportsteam uses whatsapp as well so we and other parents can coordinate things through it, like who's driving and who has my shirt. Even with 100 SMS a month I'd rapidly go through it.
Using the zSeries to just run Linux seems a bit of a waste somehow. I mean: transactional processing, great storage, always-up, backup, version management... it was all invented on the mainframe and some days I realize the x86 world *still* hasn't caught up. VM/ESX still isn't as good as VM/ESA, in some ways. Backup and version management software is still better on the mainframe. The storage? Well... we just started using a multi-million dollar solution from EMC. It's absolutely amazing. But 10 years ago the mainframe already did that, and better. We will have to deal with stuff that on mainframes was settled 30 years ago and isn't even a configuration option anymore.
Mainframes and appliances may be expensive, but when you start factoring in the cost of maintenance and downtime, they become economical pretty fast.
If it was the CCP, it wouldn't have been a form, it would have been an e-mail thanking you for the voluntary contribution HR just made on your behalf. If you're lucky that is, otherwise you won't even get the mail.
Philips hires any PhD it can get, providing it's a decent one, including those darn foreigners from the US. There just aren't enough graduating locally. But hey, if you don't like that, we can sure stop hiring from the US. The Chinese are smarter anyway.
I wonder if we examine it a bit deeper, that it's not just a question of someone not reading the list of proscribed goods when sending toys. The JP article is rather light on details...
Another article on the site may be relevant by the way: "Report: Military Intelligence chief says without peace process, terror wave will grow".
Classic. Of course, even a lot of Israeli soldiers and Shin Bet former executives are seeing the writing on the wall. But somehow it escapes a lot of Israeli citizens that they're heading down a well-trodden path riddled with corpses.
Yes, after a bit closer examination I clicked on one of the links in the ads that were reasonably well-behaved, and it led me straight into a number of sites registered at the nr. 1 destination for crooks and criminals - straight up fraudulent websites.
So since they apparently don't mind that criminals advertise on their site, they probably don't mind that some of them have "drive-by payloads" either. It's probably just a number that pop up irregularly. Nice...
I see nothing, but I'm running Ghostery. Ghostery only detects 5 ad-networks, and one of 'm is the twitter button. The rest of the items seems harmless.
You may, as suggested by AC below, want to remove some malware from your system.
Actually that's pretty accurate. ISO TR9007:1987 defines a conceptual model and states that the applications for such a model are not limited to IT only, but apply to any rule-based system, specifically mentioning the area of law.
So yes, laws could be conceivable be based upon a conceptual model, and statements could be validated against it.
Xi Jinping is a Maoist hardliner. He doesn't want to return to a rural China per se, but he wants that feeling of control again that he had in the 80's. No more nasty books about his affairs, or corruption, or illegal evictions, or human rights... but he can do without the horrible economy that went with it, because the Chinese will not quietly accept a slide back into that pile of crap.
The reason they tolerate the party is because it has given most Chinese a very real improvement in living standards and continues to do so for the majority - if that ends, the state capitalist party will be looking for a way to defuse internal tension. The obvious way would be a nice shooting war in the South Chinese sea.
Anyway, with WeChat and a host of other instant messaging services available in China, it is extremely difficult to censor before any publication. The great firewall doesn't help you much if the posters are sitting behind it. But they can make it very unpleasant for anyone to publish something they don't want to see. However, given enough pressure, civil disobedience in this area is a pretty serious possibility they will have immense trouble of stopping without killing off the goose with the golden eggs. Then again, they may not care.
This may not sound that great, but right now I am staring at sites that pad with screen after screen of white space, or force gigantic menus to overwrite content or display zero content when I try to ad-block them (via no JS and hosts anyway). Point is that we are already in the middle of an arms race.
Ghostery helped a LOT with that. For example, Forbes listed 3 pages of adservers and trackers, while refusing to load due to "adblocker detected" and with Ghostery I was able to pinpoint the detector, and load just the beacon while skipping the rest of their crap.
Yep. It's been long overdue too. And they've been able to solve it for mobile phones and touchpads, where you are giving permission in advance. With Windows 10 moving towards one codebase for mobile and PC it should become easier to roll out.
I see you haven't looked into mitochondrial disease at all.
I knew a couple that just lost their child to it. The baby took 9 months to die, losing all bodily functions and slowly withering away, unable to obtain energy for the cells from food. A colleague of my wife lost their baby in two months to a comparable but slightly different genetic failmode, which caused the skin to fall off her body. She died in horrible agony without eyes, nose and cheeks, and black, rotting skin all over.
There are pretty compelling reasons to want to do something about this, and it's really no coincidence that the mitochondrial diseases are first in line for an attempt at a cure.
Even then, sickle cell trait may have genetic strengths against malaria, but it's a stopgap measure at best and we have much better treatments nowadays - if you can afford to get a genetic cure, you can certainly afford profylaxis and medication against malaria. This goes for many other "genetic strengths" that are mostly crippling disabilities, as well. So to me, your statement is merely a variation on the rather worn out theme that "man should not meddle with Nature".
If - similarly to the EU consent cookies - web pages would start with a popup saying "you agree that read the page without ad blocking LEAVE/STAY" and you choose STAY, then I guess you legally accepted ads.
But what if my adblocker blocks the pop-up? Inquiring minds want to know!
I'm very sorry if you're in pain and denied access to medication you need. That really, truly sucks. My reply was rather acerbic because your comments were so far off-topic I could not see any relationship between the topic and your post. Sorry for that.

Because we'd never use another mod again, I fear.
Like, Philips?

At the range this thing has, you're probably better off using a sling - some people can hit a coke can at 500 feet with one.
I can confirm that. Canadian feet *are* larger. And European feet are actually 1 meter.
... these animals ...

That site is indeed best avoided.

But there is good news too! We can be unpussified by following a few simple steps: http://www.welivesecurity.com/...

Interesting times ahead.
I would agree that that's the best option. They select for people who run away screaming and thereby show their intelligence. :P
Now that is out-of-the-box thinking! And it should simplify disaster recovery as well!
Oooh I like it!

... Ghostery. Solves the same problem, but in Chrome. And I like Chrome more than I do Firefox.

Like ALL other gun studies that conclude anything negative about them, this study is FLAWED.
I wonder if that is meant as satire or a cynical joke? I really can't tell.

Dude... take those meds. You need 'em.
