Why would anyone think they would not get scammed from someone claiming to have info from a hack?

I can't stop thinking as I read this how the same christian-right conservatives that put bush in power are also blocking stem cell research that could stand a chance of actually helping this poor guy. I believe I remember bush approving the use of funds for stem cell research. I'd look it up but I'm too disgusted right now.

The spending on sports, whether crooked or not, should be equally matched with spending on the arts and music.

Dr. Strangelove anyone?

Go to 'node 3 - tranquility'. There's some windows and a mechanical arm outside.

corpse - sorry.

I usually can't stand the tone of wikipedia entries or the 'exquisite corps' style of writing that is wordy and difficult to comprehend at times. I'm glad to hear of Google's new seo that will bring more used and trusted content to the fore than the obligatory wikipedia at the top.

I used to give them money (just a little) but I ceased when I felt that they might as well have ads and the content would, to me, be no different.

I still use wikipedia but mainly for information concerning pop culture which it's very good at.

>If you ignore Cortana and associated privacy settings, very little has changed in 10.

Apparently there's some extra 'user experience' data gathering which must also be adjusted in the privacy settings as you say. These will also be installed on win7 and 8. I have my updates set on critical only and they haven't been installed and I don't expect they will be.

I've had to change update settings after downloading from the microsoft site. They changed them to 'treat suggested updates as critical' and then it downloaded all the win10 update stuff. I ended up reinstalling cause I because it installed about 60 or 70 things and my machine was acting strangely. I'll have to keep a close watch on the settings.

I think the fear for me is not so much that Microsoft has access to my machine and data. It's that this access is written in and can be exploited and Microsoft has sat on its thumbs regarding security issues before. Also it makes you have to trust how they treat your data whether they encrypt or make it anonymous etc.

For these reasons and that Microsoft may be shifting toward a 'paid service or ads punishment' type of service, I'm currently looking at PCBSD.

I found IBM Watson to be wonderfully competent at absolutely nothing.

The National Security Law Journal must repudiate... with extreme prejudice.

Same here. I like the tech and the cars more than watching the sport. Documentaries are great though.

You can use savefrom.net to download it from vimeo. It's a nice video but not informative the way I was hoping since I'm already a fan of legalization and therapeutic use.

How are we to know the percentage of celiac sufferers in the past compared to now when the methods we have to diagnose are difficult at best. Also celiac is 'under the radar' of many physicians and many modern cases go undiagnosed (myself until this year).

The writer made many good points but, in my experience, should probably have done more research in this area.

Thanks. This is very interesting.

Thanks for this. I just installed ghostery and I'm still reading up on it. I don't have a problem with advertising and people making money and studying usage. I do have a problem with attempts at tracking individual users and trying to create individual user profiles. I like how you started your list at zero.

Good post.

Well put. The title of the original article is unnecessarily confusing and probably purposely made so for ironic effect.

Apparently Chrome uses blink too. But now I can see how one is not the other even though both use the same.

The hostility between users and ads and the presentation of ads as a penalty for no-charge use must have been borne from the 'make money while you sleep' mentality. Google ads are obnoxious and often try to trick you into clicking fake download buttons to take who 'who knows where?'.

Popup blocking is native on most browsers and it was advertisers that were largely responsible for those.

I often find myself wondering. Why don't content providers put some time into pursuing an advertiser with related services to the content or of likely interest to the viewers and 'make a deal' to present their products or services? And likewise, people wanting to advertise can approach related content providers. They can present the 'ad' as an equal part of the content and no adblocking apps will sort it out.

Maybe they can use promo codes available within the website to receive a deal of some sort. Who knows?

I'm looking forward to more straight forward and honest forms of advertising that I hope will emerge when things like google's adsense etc start to falter due to adblocking.

I've never been able to get firefox to play well for me from the start (for me 2008). I searched for something faster and I found opera and used that.

As is mentioned earlier, firefox does not appear to take advantage of multi-threading. I take this to mean that it's performance would be the same on a quad core cpu or a single core cpu of the same speed. There's much more to it than I know for sure, but certainly feels like it has to share resources with itself as well as anything else running. I tried it out a couple months ago and then went back to Opera/chrome. Many of the same plugins are available in chrome that are offered for firefox.

I opened it in the opera version of chrome and it loads no problem. The browser isn't the best at everything but sometimes it works when everything else fails.

It seems demented that a government would give incentives to business to automate. I find I fear a plan, if any, for the displaced workers that are unable to adjust.

Why not have both?

You're probably a bit burned out. Check out this though. It might give a glimmer of hope and looks like a nice hobby/research/interest side project whatever.
