It's a double-edged sword. Do you really want every website out there to be able to track you based on your phone number?

The big ones I can think of are Cadence SPB, Ansys HFSS, Ansys Fluent, Dassault Solidworks, Dassault Abaqus, Rocscience RS3D, Agilent ADS, Bently Microstation, PTV Vision, Intel Fortran, and Xilinx ISE.

There are more, but those are the ones I can think of we use the most off the top of my head.

Seriously true. The first volume is great, the second volume is meh, the third volume will make you never want to think about the language again.

The funny part is, speaking is relatively easy. Once you get the hang of tones, the grammar is fairly simple.

The writing system IS particularly difficult though. At a minimum it doubles the number of things you have to learn (from ~3000 words for just speaking, to ~3000 words + ~3000 characters).

I would support it IF there were a free market in the ISP space that allowed me to switch to providers who don't prioritize.

Probably varies Linux distro to distro. In Windows, the MSU files are all signed by MS so the download path isn't of issue, since if it is compromised any alterations to the file would break the signature.

Do you think someone got infected?

Also, Slashdot thinks I am yelling because I quoted your post in caps. It didnn't let me post.

What a great xkcd

As far as we can tell, he did absolutely zero harm to the millions around him. Some people are panicking anyway.

Do you speak Cantonese or something?

Then you should look, because you'll find it.

Your post should be modded down because you didn't research before writing it. Not even a simple Google search.

Seriously thought, think about it. What is more likely, that the world powers are holding a meeting together, in the open, where everyone can see it (at least, see that it's happening).......or that the Bilderberg meetings are just a distraction from the real meetings, where the real world powers get together? Don't you think they'd be much better at hiding it?

>Yes, his accent was horrible.

Yeah. I flinched at it. And his sentences were pretty basic. (Wo tai tai shi zhong guo ren, for example.)

That said, it's a nice gesture. When I went to China, people were constantly surprised at seeing a foreigner speak their language. It's a really diplomatic move on his part.

Right, so what other fantasies do you have? Do you know about the black helicopters? What about the pyramid on the dollar bill? Is the government hiding alien technology? What do you think?

I had a professor who literally did learn his Chinese reading the Analects. He couldn't speak a word of the language. When he took a taxi in China, he had to write on paper to communicate with the driver.
