Liberia: Dead Ebola Patients Resurrect?
Two Ebola patients, who died of the virus in separate communities in Nimba County have reportedly resurrected in the county. The victims, both females, believed to be in their 60s and 40s respectively, died of the Ebola virus recently in Hope Village Community and the Catholic Community in Ganta, Nimba.
But to the amazement of residents and onlookers on Monday, the deceased reportedly regained life in total disbelief. The NewDawn Nimba County correspondent said the late Dorris Quoi of Hope Village Community and the second victim only identified as Ma Kebeh, said to be in her late 60s, were about to be taken for burial when they resurrected.
Ma Kebeh had reportedly been in door for two nights without food and medication before her alleged death. Nimba County has had bazaar news of Ebola cases with a native doctor from the county, who claimed that he could cure infected victims, dying of the virus himself last week.
News of the resurrection of the two victims has reportedly created panic in residents of Hope Village Community and Ganta at large, with some citizens describing Dorris Quoi as a ghost, who shouldn't live among them. Since the Ebola outbreak in Nimba County, this is the first incident of dead victims resurrecting.
So as a short break from the steady drone about the Police State Nazis we have this:Oregon police deliver pizza after driver is injured in car crash
Officers Michael Filbert and Royce Curtiss of Portland's police force were snapped while hand-delivering the pie after the original delivery man was ensnared in a traffic accident. Customer Steve Huckins said he was initially worried when the officers came to his door, but then started laughing.-Stoic Joker (September 24, 2014, 11:51 AM)

...What's even more surprising is AC since then. Along with Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Brian Welch of Korn, Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden, and Dan Spitz of Anthrax, and Blackie Lawless of WASP, they have all converted to Christianity. THAT bit in a documentary I would like to see.-Renegade (August 31, 2014, 07:44 AM)
Impressive - I hadn't known about that - though perhaps these were not as spectacular conversions as the academic and atheist C.S. Lewis' self-conversion to Christianity:"The most dejected, reluctant convert in all England" C.S. Lewis in Surprised By Joy.

Freakonomics: Usually good, though not always as interesting as it feels it should be. Often feels like it takes a bit too superficial of a view on things, which is too bad. Feels like it could dig deeper on some stories.
There, fixed my OP so it makes sense - there's no problem for me because I don't use a watch or a wallet.-4wd (September 21, 2014, 05:37 AM)
Watches will find a market with people that prefer them to pockets. 
@Edvard: Those were anomalous instances and not repeatable. I could be wrong, of course, but that's what I was trying to point out in my earlier comment - i.e., that this thread is about something (an error or a fix for an error) that doesn't happen under normal circumstances, or isn't actually required, and which couldn't be mitigated or repaired if it occurred anyway.
In other words, there is likely to be no need to repair .ZIP files, as you would probably only get damaged ZIP files from an irreversible anomalous and non-repeatable) event, and due to the simple structure of .ZIP files, you will be unlikely to be able to recover/repair/reconstruct the lost/corrupted data - you couldn't "magic" the data out of nowhere.-IainB (September 19, 2014, 09:03 AM)
Don't you hate it when this happens to you?

Hmmm, some guy was talking into his watch on the train platform this morning. Either he has Dick Tracy delusions or the thing is out already?-MilesAhead (September 16, 2014, 12:10 PM)
However... what do people ALWAYS have with them?
Watch- Mobile phone (it's got a clock)

Problem solved
Android Watch Phone
I think your main problem with something like that is going to be finding a battery that lasts long enough for it to be useful.-4wd (September 16, 2014, 12:17 PM)
