Interesting insight. Would explain much of the anti-Apple, anti-Microsoft around here and elsewhere on teh webz.
Regarding apk, didn't someone do some searches and judging by his reputation ca. 2000 determine that he was a nut even then?
Those other nations are more than welcome to turn the tables or create their own rules.
Try Fastenal. Generally cheaper and a much, much bigger selection. Hours can be a little inconvenient however.
Hm. The covenant of Noah is about two paragraphs before this part (King James Version) which is used for various justifications of slavery and discrimination against all sorts of people because they are said to bear the Curse of Ham. If folks wanted to use the Bible to justify anything ISIS says is justified by God's words in the Koran, they could easily do so.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Wouldn't you like to know, apk?
Crazy, isn't it?
Evidently, there is some unwritten law that states that Geolocation by IP address shall override any and all set preferences by the user on their device, and ignore any possibility that barring or redirecting the user makes no sense.
I get a version of this periodically on Spotify, where I'm informed that the particular album or single I'm looking at can't be played because it isn't licensed to my region. And of course there's the small matter of my being IP-blocked from Pandora Radio for the same reason.
I ran into a particularly nasty geolocation issue back in late 2012, when I was informed that I couldn't access my National Lottery account because they no longer believed that I was accessing it from the UK. Went back and forth between them and my ISP (VirginMedia), with each blaming the other for the problem.
I've also heard of situations where people have found the books on their Kindles vanishing because they're holidaying in an area where said books aren't licensed.
Get rid of your dictator and adopt a representative democracy and it will be over. Indeed, nobody could have thought it would go on this long.
I'm about two year in (two weeks shy) and my last check (last month) said 8-9 more years at the rate I'm using it. I was told at installation that five is the average. I think the only time I'm paced any more is when I sleep, just due to my natural sleeping rate being lower than the floor they've set. I'll have to ask.
Used the card about a week after I got it due to my place of employment at the time. Haven't used it at an airport.
Just another reminder to use strong passwords, password managers, and change them often. It's a pain, but it's the reality of the digital world.
What good is a password manager when the answers to your security questions are public knowledge?
Who says you need to tell the truth on those questions?
Q: "What is your mother's maiden name?"
A: "Purple monkey dishwasher."
Damnit, time to change the security question on the password manager for my luggage.
Umm driverless cars are definetly something that we should do. Humans frankly suck at driving and countless lives could be saved if human drivers were replaced with more reliable machines.
Actually, the number of fatalities isn't countless.
Just gonna leave this here.
ooo, look, I included links for my assertions instead of just pulling numbers out of my hat.
You must be new here.
But will it run Crysis?
Orange is the best color.
It's the maintenance man. He knows I like orange.
Also, and on-topic, Deus Ex is a must-play game.
Came to instigate a reinstallation. Saw that I was beaten to it. Left satisfied.
Everytime someone mentions Deus Ex, someone reinstalls Deus Ex
