This only happens when you participate in a similar activity, such as using +1, writing a review, or following a product. These actions already act as endorsements within your circles; the new ads only make them more explicit. In my view, this is merely yet another reason to avoid putting anything on your Google+ profile, if you needed one. All this spying and marketing is slowly but surely making social network users shut up - a very good thing indeed.
Because people have screwed up notions that if they're sick, they ought to go to the hospital and have a doctor treat them. For salmonella, the main problem is diarrhea and the resulting dehydration. In the hospital you get stuck with an IV and have water pumped directly into your veins. This is not only completely unnecessary, since unless you are unconscious you are perfectly capable of drinking water at home, but dangerous both due to having needles stuck in you and the everpresent nosocomial infections that no hospital is able to completely eradicate. There are very few diseases that require hospitalization - you know you've got one when you are too sick to go to the hospital yourself.
we already have another salmonella outbreak this time drug resistant too.
The immune system naturally purges salmonella infections in about a week. Antibiotic treatment is not required and is not recommended. The only people who worry about this are the handful of immunosuppressed individuals who already have many other things to worry about. To the remaining 99.99% of the population a "salmonella outbreak" is at most a week-long inconvenience.
Sorry about that. I left the coolant report on the console while I was programming the repair bot to install the Hydroelectric Magnetosphere Regulator and Hank picked it up. Before I knew it, he's shambling into the reactore core. It took a few Rad-X, but I finally caught up with him right as he was shutting off the coolant pump. Close call, but hey, those ghouls are not the brightest tools in the shed. But don't worry, I talked to Harold and he said he'll retire Hank to guard duty instead.
In traditional use, "man", "men", and "mankind" were gender-neutral. We would do well to shrug off the insanity of feminist demands and to return to that simpler tradition in our language.
Insurance companies are always looking for an excuse to raise rates. They are not going to look for evidence against global warming when they can pretend that it has all been totally proven and tell clients that the risks are now sky high and, oh, by the way, your rates are now 60% higher to account for that.
In this day and age everyone would say that his name was obviously the source of his invention, being a constant reminder to put a rubber on his pencil.

The russian oven is considerably more efficient than Franklin's. Designed to retain heat for a very long time, it contains an intricate brick maze of passages and chambers. Russians have used this type of oven since ancient times, cooking, baking, bathing (inside), sleeping (on top), hiding, and healing. The oven is prominently featured in many old stories and legends and pretty much every russian over 60 has used one at one time or another.
Android used to store your wi-fi password locally and never transmit it anywhere. Then came Gingerbread, and all your local data got helpfully "backed up" to google servers. Setting turned on by default, probably before you had a chance to learn it's there. They say they delete your stuff when you turn off the setting, but, naturally, there is no way to really know. Suddenly, google has all your wi-fi passwords, whether you like it or not. It would be naive to assume Apple would behave differently.
I can only agree, noone (including me) want to trackdown 85 dependencies. Please, is it to much to ask to actually develop your own code.
Well, yes, it is too much to ask. Your average programmer is not qualified to rewrite absolutely everything from scratch. When he tries, he often makes bugs that have long been fixed in the available libraries, resulting in lower quality product for you. Reinventing the wheel this way also takes longer, which makes the product more expensive.
My reason not to use clang: clang produces larger code than gcc. 10-20% larger, in many cases. For some reason gcc developers are much better at size optimization.
If the project will no longer compile with the lastest versions of the 85 dependencies, the precompiled binary will not run with the latest versions of the 85 dependencies. We ship the source code precisely so you can build it to match what you have installed.
A question: how can I find out the number of platters in a particular hard drive model? Seagate still lists areal density on its web site, but I was unable to find this information for WD. Naturally, Amazon and Newegg never tell you these things. So where can those of us who'd much rather have a single-platter drive find out which ones those are?
Random number generators cannot be verified - it's a computationally infeasible problem.
Then how do you know the software RNG in the kernel is random? By using randomness tests, that's how, like the diehard suite. Diehard has been run on RdRand; try it yourself if you want.
Because it is good manners to do so. Good manners exist for a good reason: we have to constantly be around other people and behaving well in public eliminates unnecessary interpersonal conflict. Good manners help you put your best foot forward, while poor taste, crudeness, and indecency will always lower other people's opinion of you and damage your reputation, your job prospects, and your chances of getting what you want when dealing with others.
Good manners have nothing to do specifically with hiding sexuality, boobs, or the fact that people masturbate. We do not expose these in public because they are unflattering, not because they are shameful. Society has reasonably well defined expectations of what is and is not acceptable to do in public. These expectations are there to help you by telling you how to behave in order to be perceived as a person worth dealing with.
Good manners also help other people to go through their day without having to deal with things they find offensive, ugly, or just in plain bad taste. People who spend their days surrounded by what they like and enjoy are happier, more productive, and easier to deal with.
Society's standard of good manners does change with time, but the reason for having them does not. As long as you always try to show your best side in public, you'll be ok. The problem with the situation in the article, Miley Cyrus, or whoever is currently getting on your nerves, is that these people do not try. Not only do they fail to show their best, but they flaunt their worst - this is the real tragedy and a sign of the decline of our civilization.
So it's wrong for a guy to talk about "taking a picture of yourself staring at tits" and to simulate masturbation in public, but it's perfectly all right for Miley Cyrus to do the same (and more!) on national television in front of millions of people? I guess they should have done it on MTV; then it would have been ok.
10000 laptops are stolen at airports every year. Presumably, they are off when that happens.
The NSA is not your problem; you are not important enough to be a target. When thinking about security, thieves are your problem. Theft happens, and happens often. Your computer is far more likely to get stolen than to be inflitrated by the NSA. And the solution is to encrypt your hard drive. Without encryption the thief will have access to everything you normally access from the computer - like your bank account. You wouldn't want that, would you? Today's CPUs all have AESNI support, so there is no excuse for not encrypting your laptop's hard drive. Do it today and get some financial peace of mind.
If you start on this path, go all the way. In the Soviet Union there was no unemployment at all. Everybody had a job. In fact, being unemployed was a crime (no, not a serious crime). All you had to do was go to the local employment office and you'd be assigned somewhere. If you had no place to live, you'd get a place in a dorm and meals at the cafeteria.
Naturally, there are drawbacks. The cushy jobs were assigned strictly by pull. If you didn't have friends in high places, you'd get work in a quarry or something. If you did have friends in high places, you'd never get fired, so incompetence was the rule in managerial positions. Productivity sucked, but nobody really cared. Everybody had jobs, so who cares if there is no meat at the market this week?

The best work hours are 9-5. 9-5=4.
