Character set: I read the choice to be between ASCII only and non-ASCII only. That is, if you select non-ASCII only then you have no ordinary English letters, no decimal digits, no ordinary punctuation. Rather minimally useful.

Non-unicode can show ordinary English letters, for example the group starting at U+FF0x, but an ASCII system will see it as binary garbage that will generate unexpected beeps, corrupt terminals, and crash old software. 162.158.78.196 20:23, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

ASCII, OLD ASCII, which is characters 0-127, includes ONLY CAPS, plus the common punctuation and whitespace. The lower case letters are all part of EXTENDED ASCII. So, limiting to old ASCII, is limiting to all-caps, and limiting to only the second half of ASCII is even worse, as it has all the lower case letters, but, not only no caps, but also no punctuation, whitespace, or numerals. I'll leave it to someone with a login to make the correction.

ASCII 0-127 includes _both_ uppercase and lowercase. 162.158.78.196 20:23, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Show unread email count: Wording in the graphic is ambiguous for me. Does show unread email count on my projected day of death mean a) show, today, what will be the count on my projected day of death, or b) wait to show any count until the very day I will probably to die. Choice a is indeed probably depressing. Choice b is more of a pop-up surprise if you didn't know it was coming, saying Hey, buddy, here's your final score, well done.

I interpreted the unread email count as you laid out in option "b," this could be a reference to the relatively new features of social networks which create "memorialized" profiles for members who died. This number would undoubtedly be like a memorial, provided you actually died on that day. If you didn't die it would be like a pop-up. It could also be a simple exaggeration of the statement that you'd rather not see your number, as seeing the number is depressing. 172.69.70.59 15:24, 19 April 2019 (UTC) Sam

I was going to edit the page with specifics on when html e-mail came into use, because I was sure I was using/experimenting with html in e-mail as early as 20 years ago. But looking at the wikipedia page on the topic seems to suggest that the adoption was much sooner than that, but I can still remember using html when I was a teenager, so I'm not sure what's going on here... 172.69.70.59 15:24, 19 April 2019 (UTC) Sam

I certainly remember sending emails with HTML formatting back in the late 90's. IIRC, I was using Netscape Communicator(?) and it used html snippets in an otherwise ascii email. At my first job in the early oughts, I had to manage an email subscription list for a newsletter that used mime-encoded multipart html emails. Not all the subscribers could see the html part, and I think AOL users often got gibberish due to bad support for mime-encoded messages in the AOL email client. --172.68.46.77 16:00, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Seems to be that since the first option says 'reply functionality' the option which says 'Forward to Address Book' does not allow you to type a reply. Rather than 'forwarding your reply to your address book' I believe this would simply forward the email to everyone in your address book. Make sense as a joke at the expense of people who just forward emails/email chains. 172.69.44.144 16:26, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Despite what the explanation currently indicates, "reply all" definitely means reply to all recipients of the original email. 172.69.70.59 21:15, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Any idea why the dialog uses a Right-to-Left (RTL) formatting? 141.101.99.131 18:14, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Having the text right next to the radiobuttons/tickboxes makes it much easier to identify which button belongs to which setting.--Lupo (talk) 04:42, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
I agree with the previous reply, but I think you mean "right-aligned" formatting instead of "RTL" formatting, which usually means the letters are actually ordered from right to left in reverse order. I don't think radio buttons are typically displayed on the right side of the label though. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 11:46, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Google and vacation

Google knows when you're on vacation by comparing your present cellphone GPS coordinates to your typical gps coordinates. They also always know your location via IP, to some extent. 108.162.242.23 02:50, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

That doesn't work necessarily, you could be on a work trip.SDSpivey (talk) 17:35, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Don't forget that any of this technology is probably founded on Microsoft (doesn't)Works. 103.22.200.120 02:19, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Hydralyft Review

Protecting the skin from the sun Hydralyft can prevent cancer at a later stage in life. Protect your eyes by avoiding looking directly into the sun. Staring at the sun can damage your retina. Not all sunglasses are adequate, so shop around for a pair that offers 100% UVA and UVB protection. UV levels are at the highest throughout December and January. With continued unprotected exposure, your eyes are at risk of long term damage. Choose glasses with wide or wraparound arms for much more protection, not only for your eyes but the skin around your eyes too. Use your glasses not only for when you are in the sun but for when you're driving or sitting in the garden also. Don't be fooled by a cloudy day either, the sun's rays can still pass through the clouds.

The sun is not the only skin damaging predator. Other culprits include tanning beds, smoking and an unhealthy diet. These culprits can have ill effects to body's outer layer. It is important to know how to keep your skin healthy. Remember to stay out of the sun between 10am and 2pm. Always use sunscreen when you are outdoors and protect your kids' skin with children-friendly sunscreen. You can find a wide range of sunscreen at your local wholesaler. Always wear your UV protective sunglasses and always wear protective clothing that covers exposed areas.

Given the variety of nutrients that appear to be involved Genbrain in brain development, it may seem wise for women to ingest a multivitamin/mineral (MVM) supplement routinely for prevention. However, there is limited research on the effects of a MVM supplement during pregnancy. Some papers have stated that outside of iron and folic acid, there is little benefit for ingestion of additional nutrients (16). However, one study has indicated that a supplement containing 60 mg of iron, 250 mg of folate, and 15 mg zinc improves maternal zinc status and may improve fetal neurobehavioral development (17). Given the risks of being nutrient deficient versus the risks of developing a nutrient toxicity, in the final analysis it seems that prenatal vitamins would be worth the risk, as it is unlikely that doses as mentioned above would pose side effects to the mother or baby.

Studies examining relationships between micronutrients and cognitive functions have also been done with adolescents. Biscuits fortified with iron (5 mg ferrous fumarate), iodine (60 mg potassium iodate), and b-carotene (2.1 mg), and a sugar-based cold drink providing ~90 mg vitamin C with 60 mg potassium iodate were given to 6-11 year old children from a poor rural community for five days per week for 43 weeks (18). Significant improvements were reported in the micronutrient status for the supplemented group, including fewer missed school days, but no effects were found on cognitive function or short-term memory. In another study administering iron (650 mg of ferrous sulphate) twice daily to non-anemic high school girls for 8 weeks, both verbal learning and memory improved (19).

Another study administered a high dose MVM supplement to adolescents for 12 months and found an improvement in cognitive functioning for females but not males (20). Collectively, it appears that these studies indicate that multiple vitamins and minerals may be involved in cognitive functions. Ideally the diet would be varied enough to meet the requirements for all of these nutrients, but in poor, uneducated, or inappropriately supervised environments, children will most likely not receive adequate nutrient intakes. Under these conditions, supplementation with a MVM may be prudent. For the healthy child with a normal micronutrient status, there is little evidence that additional supplementation is warranted in order to improve cognitive function.

Why? Well it's simple really, if you're like me, you have a house (or flat/apartment) both sides and a couple across the street. Ask yourself this, what type of car do your neighbours have? You should know the answer, so by this logic there's a fair chance they know yours as well. Now ask yourself, if one time you left your home and there was a new car in their drive, would you notice?The point I'm making is that your conscious brain will recognise and flag something that's different to what its expecting. That's why we can't help but stare at car accidents as we drive by. What the police call "rubber-necking" causes so many subsequent accidents just due to people's tendency to be fixated on what's different Furthermore I was reading a book just the other day and I came across something that explains this whole awareness thing perfectly
