That's what we called one of the tubbos in the office as he had a flatulation problem.

On 31 May 2003, a group of UK researchers held a mass experiment where they exposed some 700 people to music laced with soft 17 Hz sine waves played at a level described as "near the edge of hearing", produced by an extra-long-stroke subwoofer mounted two-thirds of the way from the end of a seven-meter-long plastic sewer pipe. The experimental concert (entitled Infrasonic) took place in the Purcell Room over the course of two performances, each consisting of four musical pieces. Two of the pieces in each concert had 17 Hz tones played underneath. In the second concert, the pieces that were to carry a 17 Hz undertone were swapped so that test results would not focus on any specific musical piece. The participants were not told which pieces included the low-level 17 Hz near-infrasonic tone. The presence of the tone resulted in a significant number (22%) of respondents reporting anxiety, uneasiness, extreme sorrow, nervous feelings of revulsion or fear, chills down the spine, and feelings of pressure on the chest.[34][35] In presenting the evidence to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Professor Richard Wiseman said, "These results suggest that low frequency sound can cause people to have unusual experiences even though they cannot consciously detect infrasound. Some scientists have suggested that this level of sound may be present at some allegedly haunted sites and so cause people to have odd sensations that they attribute to a ghost—our findings support these ideas."[33]

You'll never achieve your big goals with an attitude like that.
I disagree, it will just take longer.
Why are we listening to Carmack? Thresh took his Ferrari in a game Carmack designed.
Personally I think a Martian has taken a liking to it and repairs it while it's sleeping.
And all the voice samples from "OK Google" and SIRI are theirs to sort through.
After turning on the personal voice sampling (to make OK google more accurate) the tablet never misses a beat, it knows exactly what I'm saying whether I just woke up, in the middle of eating, or with a cold.
I also left an older version of the Nexus 7 tablet (first gen) off for several months, upon turning it on I was surprised to see it was "ready to install" an system update, one that I never approved downloading in the first place, and of course IT HAD BEEN OFF.
Meh, is anything really "off" any more? And what else does it do?
Usually an indication of problems to come, wonder if that's true this time.
For me is that no matter how well I take care of information if someone sticks it into their Android and runs one of these apps there goes that phone number.
In fact shortly after my buddy bought a Nexus 7 (he installs EVERYTHING on it...) I started getting txt offers from Chinese retailers and my number blew up with various other issues.
Nothing for years then this...
Now I can't prove it was his device and his bad habit of installing anything, but the timing works.
Doesn't Android allow the user to set permissions?
I thought so as well, but it appears they have found a way to do it.
After all "are you older than 49" yes/no is ageist, but could make it stick if it went to court?
This was a while back I don't recall the exact verbage, basically when you answered they knew you were older, or younger.
I don't remember the exact verbage but basically the answer told whether or not you were older.
Comcast online application has the question "Are you older than 49 or younger".
When I went back to school to finish up, I applied for several low level IT jobs and was asked "aren't you a little old for this job?".
Watch the look on the temp service persons face when they meet you the first time,ageism is fairly rampant I would say.
I doubt there will be any "raw internet" with Fuckerberg in charge.
Internet.org
I wonder how much that domain cost.
Perhaps, but Islam needs a good bashing, all religions do, but currently there's one religion that is far more active in the "oppression and violence" arena, so lets bash it until we get a war or they go away.
Ask your self how long is it until the disenfranchised youths in the ghettos find their local radicalized mosque, or you have to live under someone else concept of right and wrong.
