I was getting several sites not working properly with AdGuard. Yeah you can add whitelists and such, but it’s annoying. Some of was it Safari not working.

In the end I just use a browser with built in blocking (AdBlockBrowser or now Brave) and leave Safari alone.

Just got one of those annoying alerts on my phone. Saying “Loccal cell phone carriers are experiencing outages” and an alternative number for 9-1-1 calls.

I thought they only had U.S.A. licenses at this time.

When I worked retail, employee theft was the big deal. From pocketing cash to a dock guy bringing up stuff for his buddies during busy times to the Theft Prevention team doing something to all get fired I think the employees did more damage than the shoplifters.

We didn’t have self checkout back then, though.

“In the event you arrive at the airport without valid identification, because it is lost or at home, you may still be allowed to fly.”

From my pre-RealID experiences grannies in wheel chairs will get a reminder to get a State ID and able bodied middle age folks will get the third degree while they grill you with data from some databases (When was the last date you entered the country? On which flight? Etc)

But since most people buy monthly payment (not total price) lower interest rates drive prices up.

Only 6.4% of Americans got a high school diploma in 1900.

My Volvo wagons can take a few 4x8 sheets diagonally from the store.

Looks good. I have too many bookmarks for this. Might be interested if you can add folders and ways to access them for infrequently used items.

I miss foxmarks. I pay for another service, but you have to log in at least once. Firefox accounts and thus bookmarks are blocked at work.

Every 737 has multiple AoA sensors. (Reportedly each computer is only wired to one though).

Seems like in Colorado it can only last until full retirement age - 67.

Why is the most expensive BMW listed less than the average cost of BMW?

The EU standard is micro USB. Why would Apple switch to Type C, then include a C to micro adapter?

Or are the Swiss picking a different standard?

Or is the EU switching, or allowing two standard ports?

They also expected the 787 to be snapped together and spend only 3 days in assembly. Ooops.

I assume the pricing curve was based on this quick assembly and why we are 300 units in and still losing money on each unit.

Our department was mandating 20% OT for the last 6 months. I switched to a new program and the management really would like about 10% OT (8%-12% band).

Oh we used to get some pay for OT, but they took that away.

6 hour workday - how do I get to 8 hours?

This is a Fortune 100 company.

From a comment at the link:

"NIOSH does not recommend nor endorse a particular commercial product. The data from our study “Evaluation of smartphone sound measurement applications” is available in the journal article referenced at http://scitation.aip.org/content/asa/journal/jasa/135/4/10.1... . The discussion section (page 189) highlights two apps — SoundMeter and SPLnFFT — that had the best accuracy over our testing range. There were two other apps — Noise Hunter and NoiSee — that were within ± 2dB of the reference sound source. Once again, note that the data results in the study do not constitute as NIOSH endorsement of any of these products."

Yes, I still pay by the SMS. AT&T wants $20/month for unlimited SMS ($30/for all phones on my account). They used to offer $5 & $10 plans, but dropped those options.

It is nice to be able to iMessage w/other iPhone users.

My wife is on a pay as you go (prepaid) plan and each SMS counts as a minute.

My work laptop w/XP is less than 4 years old and has an i5.

Here is another idea - they follow the constitution.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized"

Their customer service could be better.

I had one that went bad in less than 24 hours (my only SSD that needed a warranty claim). I tried to return it to them - filled out form, still had to call them and talk. In the end the guy suggested it would be better for me (much faster) to return it to Amazon than work the return thru intel.

At $11,125 per student in total funding (not counting $359 food services fund) I wouldn't call our local schools cash-strapped. They do call themselves cash strapped though.

It is a shame it is dead. Hey wait I just read this in Reeder in my iPhone via RSS. I must be dead too?

Somebody on another site got paid in counterfeit bills on a used iPad.

A coworkers 50 year old brother (whose wife is a nurse) went the ER on Friday and was dead by Sunday night of cancer.

Looking back there were a few symptoms (like weight loss), but nothing major.

PS Please leave a list of your passwords. They never did get into his computer.

>The lack of government funding for a space exploration program makes me as sad and angry as anyone

Lack of funding??? NASA gets 17 Billion a year and typically around 10 billion is for manned space flight - 2011 has 9 billion.

How much more does NASA need?

I had a decent spell checker on my Apple //c - 128K RAM (64K commonly usable) and had to fit on 140KB floppy. While slow it worked better than about 10 years of MS Word.

His assumption is invalid.

There are many cul-de-sacs around here.

But some subdivisions still have good access to the surrounding streets, and some are hard to get in and out of, both seem to have about the same number of cul-de-sacs.

What percentage of all those flash capable desktops are running FlashBlock (or equivalent)?

A year and a half ago Lifehacker was up to 6% not installed and DaringFireball claimed 32% of its users didn't have Flash.

So where does Cash become involved?
