And again, out of the user's real control... Sure, the security seems sound, but you still put all your eggs in someone else's basket, so to say, with any such cloud service.

And I only found out after starting to manually block connections with a firewall... Authentec's TrueSuite became a must-install for some reason if you want to use their drivers and device on Windows. One connection is for the software upda

Well, with the way it's been going, you'll soon have no choice but to rely on cloud services. Everything is a goddamn service now - even my fingerprint reader wants an Internet connection - yeah, screw you Authentec! Even managing multiple

Well, damn... No worries, it will just make these things: http://www.gsmserver.com/shop/gsm/sigma_key.php cheaper, more popular and reliable...

It's not self-examination, it's taking action based on that self-examination, which is much more difficult to do... Most people don't want to face their shortcomings, but of those who do, even fewer actually take the action necessary for su

Well, 8 seems better at managing memory and processor time... completely ignoring the awful Metro UI and the weird driver incompatibilities, that's about the only good change...

True, but try to tell that to the millions of people who believe creationism IS science... To make it simple, just let the kids choose and decide for themselves...

Believing something does not make it true... And hey, if the world was created 6000 years ago by some omnipotent being and made to look like it's several billion years old for some reason, I'm cool with that, but showing me a book written b

I don't mind creationism being taught side by side with evolution. But replacing the latter with the former is plain idiotic/dumb/stupid. Obviously, if you teach them side by side, anyone with half a brain will sooner or later realize that

I believe it's possible to do with AdBlock Plus and the Element Hiding Helper addons in Firefox, with a custom rule. I use it to hide a few annoying toolbars and news bars on several sites.

Yeah, it doesn't work for me on Firefox 18 (Adblock and NoScript disabled )...

Food is so important, yet so cheap that farmers can not sustain themselves. When people really start starving, food costs will rise and farmers will be the new rich. There is no overpopulation. Overpopulation of urban centers, yes, overpopu

Another piece of advice: take your diplomas and expertise in Law, Journalism, Medicine and others to developing countries. They may not pay as much, but the jobs are there...

I don't know, choosing the middle option seems like a good thing - get the best possible product for the least possible amount of money...

I think regime changes will be done from the inside more often than not in the future - it's been proven to be more effective (and cheaper) than sending thousands of soldiers and machinery to foreign lands... Meanwhile, telepresent groups o

Going off caffeine gives me 2-3 days of indescribable headaches, then it's a pronounced fatigue for another 2 weeks. It ain't pretty. However, if coffee must be eliminated from your diet, I believe you can always use caffeine pills - same e

I don't know, it seems to me they're focusing a lot on automation (to reduce costs, among other things).

Well, exactly - if there was more incentive for wind power, that number would be much higher.

The installation is the most expensive part. The hardware itself is cheaper in the US, most people just don't know how to install it properly (and there's no detailed guide on the topic, either).

I doubt this policy is going to last long - the biggest and most important Instagram users as far as I can tell are celebrities (incl. professionals and other popular persons), and they sure as hell will do something if Instagram starts sel

"I personally hate guns. I have never owned or even fired one. I wish they didn’t exist, but they do" - Everyone should try to put at least two dozen rounds down the range. It's a great experience, and it can help you focus, make your mind

Oh yeah, that kills them pretty fast. I've had the same experience with my backup cellphone and mp3 player, had to buy new batteries.

by jakeonthemove 14y ago
That's very weird: my laptops stay plugged and on 24/7 for months at a time, and the batteries still last around 2.5 hours. These are 4 year old Li-Ion batteries I'm talking about (they used to last 3 hours when they were new).

That's pretty annoying, actually, but it's a good example of what can happen when these services (used by millions of people) change hands. On a related note, Cinemagr.am, which I find pretty interesting, should also focus more on their own

It's because the website owners choose a machine gun over a rifle when it comes to ads - instead of carefully selecting and testing ads for each page, they just slap half a dozen of them on every page and hope some get clicked on. It's very

"The worst part of "work hard and you may become a millionaire" is for the majority it is a lie" What else is there to believe in? I find the supposedly realistic belief that "life is hard and then you die" very depressing. From personal ex

by jakeonthemove 14y ago
It's a better way of thinking than "I'm poor, I don't think I stand a chance". Even if people don't become rich or successful, they still feel better about themselves. The "work hard and you may become a millionaire" undertone is a good t
