The fact that this stuff is on the news and they milk it as much as they possibly can. They've been told that reporting this stuff and glorifying killers and giving the killers names and life-history encourages others to commit similar crimes but the news carry on regardless. Giving these killers names and life details on mass media should be banned until the media can get a grip.
My Galaxy Note 2 is 5 1/2 years old now and going strong. I wouldn't fork out for the note 8 though, I think that's over priced when there are fast phones for a quarter of the price.
Britain has seriously been considering buying power from Iceland via underwater cables, Saudi Arabia could indeed export power to Europe. We are building more lines to Norway (might be finished now).
Ditto, I'm not going to buy an expensive new GPS watch now, I'll grab a cheap one until this gets out and matures. Most GPS watches have battery life that is too short for me / the Garmin's start out with enough battery but degrade, 8 hours instead of 20 because the battery monitor bugs out.
BBCs science programme 'Tomorrow's World' showed something like this vaccine three decades ago, but nothing became of it, everybody forgot about it and Tomorrows World stuff is pre-internet and I can find no info' about it. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that this got squished by affected parties.
Or they just shit all over the neighbour's lawn. Until that neighbour installs an anti-cat system that squirts a jet of water at them, that works better than lion pee and a myriad of other ant-cat things that don't work.
There seems to be an assumption by many that only one method is being used by the perpetrators. It is of course quite possible that both neurotoxins and sonic devices are being used.
Benchmarks are all useless so far as I'm concerned, they gave note slow note 2 a good score and my fast cubot a lower score.
What matters is how snappy the apps I use are, I don't care about stupid synthetic benchmarks on phones. How quick does gps get a lock is a good metric, how fast does the phone start or reboot is another good metric. How quick can a photo be taken - another good metric that actually matters for a phone.
Just measuring the CPU speed is pointless.
And test internet reliability, they get this wrong too - time to 100% page load is irrelevant when 99.9% of the page loads quick and the other 0.1% won't even be visible because it's just some tracking crap anyhow.
Supermarket: grab the bits I want, scan them, hold wallet against reader, 1 second, it beeps, I'm finished and there's no charge to me, the supermarket is a big chain so they probably pay under 1% to visa.
For online shopping for physical goods 2.5 minutes would be ok, but why bother wages > digital-currency with transaction fee > pay with transaction fee. I'd probably use Visa or Paypal to buy the digital currency. There's then a trust issue with the seller of the currency being safe both security wise and fraud-wise.
So, what's the point of introducing this middle man with extra charges, time delays, fraud and security risks?
HP LJ2 with the network cable plugged into the wifi router. Cost £45 with half full cartridge. 1st cartridge was about the same price, quick search - genuine hp cart is £30 which includes recycle program or I wouldn't use it.
The Sun is getting hotter, there is nothing to say that this big extinction event won't be the last. Sooner or later Earth will end up like Mars or Venus, looks like it could actually be sooner since we don't have enough self control not to over reproduce and we seem to be hellbent on digging every bit of fossil fuel out of the ground and burning it. And that's not the worst of it, a slight temperature increase will lead to massive methane releases. Scientists are failing to tell us how much shit we're in.
Indeed. The whole mantra that "you should run AV" is BS, because they offer preciously little protection anyway. But at least MSE does not get in the way.
2nd this, AV gives people a false sense of security. They run risky executables and think that the AV will stop them when a lot of the time AV will sit there and not even notice, or it'll notice a month later that you've got a trojan but all it will do is tell you because the nasty things are so hard to eradicate once they're in.
"That is a possibility to avoid interference. For suspicious files, you can also upload them to VirusTotal to basically get almost all scanners. Still, unless you behave in a very risky way, what MS offers is quite enough."
"Isn't that a bit like the fox guarding the henhouse?"
Eh? I'm really not seeing how that analogy fits here.
'The committee "is concerned that Kaspersky Lab is susceptible to manipulation by the Russian government, and that its products could be used as a tool for espionage, sabotage, or other nefarious activities against the United States..."'
This is pretty much true of every software company in every country everywhere, either the committee shuts up or they ban software from half the planet.
Sketchy because? Most of the AV solutions seem to offer a free version. I haven't heard 1 single fact yet that says Kaspersky is anything other than a straight forwards AV vendor.
If I were Kaspersky I'd be talking to lawyers about taking the US to arbitration under trade treaty rules because this looks like straight forwards discrimination.

Should news station staff be locked up too?

So everybody who owns a map can be imprisoned!!! FML.
Would you also be fine with adding a year for every cup of tea they drink?
Don't know, don't care, I will never do financial stuff on my phone, they get lost too easily.

Ah thanks, that's my password, but I can never remember it.

Lol, you're actually using the argument that it's worthless to say it's not worth less!!!
It's not a caution, it's a warning.

It is both systems, you talking condescending crap, conversation over.
Are you replying to someone else? I said no such thing.
You think it isn't capitalism!! It's exactly what happens when capitalism is left unchecked and gets it's way. It's the worst of capitalism.

O_o You may have spare bombs lying around to plant in cars, they're hard to come by where I live.
