Well... the study could apply to prisoners kept for years in a cell with the light on. 
However, I doubt that the countries practicing this care about the health consequences.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Security experts have discovered that the Maxthon web browser collects sensitive information and sends it to a server in China. Researchers warn that the harvested data could be highly valuable for malicious actors. I'm _sure_ there's a perfectly logical explanation :eyeroll:

I'm sure one of the kiddies where I work will suggest using this for production code.

We’re excited to introduce Monty Python to the Mojis family on Skype. Mojis are short, shareable, clips you can use in your Skype chats and today, we’re adding 37 of your favorite Python moments from Life of Brian, Holy Grail and Flying Circus. "Of COURSE it's a good idea!"
Oh, I think I might get kicked off all my Skype meetings now...

Maybe in realizing they’ve probably maxed out getting as many people as possible to download the upgrade, Microsoft is taking an in-person approach to promoting the free offer. *Some conditions apply

I wonder what their compatibility checker would say if I tried it on my 10yo vista laptop.
OTOH at 3 hours/165 miles each way even if I won a free bottom tier laptop I'd lose.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I don't want Win10 (at this time).
I don't want a Dell laptop (or anything Dell).
The only way to win is not to play.
I have an MSDN subscription via my employer so I can get nearly anything for free anyway.

What they forgot to mention - is that there is no guarantee, that all your all old software will work as before - or presented at all, for that matter...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Wonder if they could upgrade mine? Shipped with Win8.1, only a year old, hardware is eminently compatible with Win10.
I doubt the upgrade software would run on the Linux OS, though.

My experience to date is that a roughly six year old laptop with Windows 7 gets a green light on their initial test. They attempted the upgrade and the hard drive locks up (too many critical drive errors apparently) while the upgrade thrashes. The store refused to provide the Dell Inspiron 15 the next day due to this pre-existing condition. So I am investing $45 in a new hard drive and they promise to port the files and upgrade to Windows 10 today.
I didn't see anything about excluding failures due to pre-existing conditions in the offer, so I will probably take this up with the Microsoft PR people unless all is resolved to my satisfaction today.

It turned out that the error was a result of how the company introduced new alphanumeric branch codes. if('10B' in ('089' .. '100')) { print 'Ooops'; }
When in doubt, blame the programmers

In a case closely watched by much of the tech industry, an appellate court has ruled in favor of Microsoft, finding that the company does not have to turn over the contents of an Outlook.com user’s inbox to American investigators because that user’s data is held abroad, in Ireland.

Pro Tip for US Prosecutors: Judicial aid treaties where you work with your overseas peers to request data in their jurisdictions have been around for decades and really do work.

Quote: Why Tesla’s Cars and Autopilot Aren’t as Safe As Elon Musk Claims[^]
In the wake of Brown’s fatal crash, Tesla’s sensor supplier Mobileye clarified that its current technology is not designed to prevent a crash with laterally moving traffic like the turning semi truck Brown’s Model S struck. This week, Tesla revealed another Autopilot accident that saw a Model X swerve into wooden stakes going 55 mph in a canyon road.
Sure it's only a hardware failure?
