Out of interest, I was looking for more detail. Found a story on the BBC about one of their facilities that went up in flames in London in 2006 (I think) Was a link to another fire too..

Now that's more like it! Forget the asteroid-mining bullshitters and the nutters who think one day we're going to colonise Mars, (much as I'd love that to be one day possible...it just ain't).
This is real science, real exploration, with a real goal to further mankind's scientific knowledge, requiring efforts lasting years. Oh, and (in the scheme of things), very little money.
Hats off to them. Can't wait to see if the lander makes it. Now THAT would be impressive. Kinda like getting Woody Allen's VW to not only to start but then fly from New York to Australia, at supersonic speed, and then land on a penny. Without a map.
I wish that was true, but it is not. Vehicle fuel in Europe is wildly expensive due to tax that in some cases exceeds 60% of the pump price. The enormous revenues generated in no way are balanced by subsidies to "clean" energy sources, nor do they bear any relation to true cost, whatever that is.
OK, ensure that punishment fits the crime by all means, and crooked employees have been yielding to temptation for centuries. Still, I can't help thinking that maybe, just maybe, if financial institutions developed their employees properly, and had enough of them, plus paid them just a fraction of their traders and CEOs, then they would have loyal, competent and trustworthy staff instead of having to rely on contractors.
Hey, they might even not have to spend that much money; I've been in plenty of situations where there were dozens of contractors, and not one of them costing less than 1000 per day...and usually plenty more than that.
Good luck and congrats on your motivation. Now, if you have spare time but no cash, get another job, evenings or weekends, and then buy yourself a decent dev box. Or a tablet or laptop for the other people who share the machine. If you're space and budget constrained, you can share the screen(s) with a switch box.
Depends on both frequency and energy level.. Of the two, energy level is the one to watch for...very high energies can only be attenuated by significant amounts of solid matter...like a yard of lead or concrete or water (surprisingly, lead is only about 30% max better at shielding than concrete...and a damn sight more expensive and harder to work than concrete. Water, of course, helps with neutron radiation too, but I digress... But if you're close enough to that kind of energy source your smartphone is the last thing you'll be needing - a good pair of running shoes would be more useful.
Back on topic, there's plenty of "interesting" gamma sources that will happily go through a piece of tape, and I suppose the paranoid could you this to check on their does rates while getting an X-ray
Similar in France, UK...without the 10%, hence the brief popularity in some supermarkets for 'smart' price tags that presumably were updated at same time as episode till. Seem to gave disappered tho...maybe got stolen too much
Nope. I did a load of work with GE as a consultant and nothing in Six Sigma was related to firing bottom 10%. That was more in the earlier days when Jack W fired a bunch of people. Some parts of GE, like Capital, were like that, but the industrial and medical divisions were pretty OK on the people management.
I think OP was referring to recent purchase by the Gmen of a robotics company that, among other things, also does stuff for the military. The two use cases are so similar that i guess it makes sense to do codevelopment
Urm, if, as it sounds, you use your computer a lot for work, then why not get another screen and put it vertically? Or invest in a swivel arm. I have two big screens on such, hooked up to a docking station for my laptop. It's an amazing boost in both comfort and productivity.

Maybe not the safest archivist out there, then..
You're kidding right?
It suck donkey balls on iPhone/Pad and Android too.
Way to go. Mine was "it makes me want to turn off the PC and go exercise".
have mod points but you are at 5 already so...
excellent karma and all that stuff, been here for years etc blah
And I loathe this beta shit. I come here with a variety of browsers on different platforms; it's managing to break most of them in different ways.
Why?

Unless you don't give a damn about the confidentiality of your data.
If you don't fancy setting up your own server at home, try http://owncloud.org/
Advantage is clients available for many platforms, including Android.
If that's too hard, and/or you want 24/7/365, pick a hosting solution in the country of your choice.
Difficult to know which one to pick, tho'.
Thanks, great post.
@all - check the date on the article...Paris (ESA) Jan 22, 2003.
That's right...ten years.

Well put, as usual.
BTW, nice to see you back...had not seen you posting for a while.

Gloriously offtopic, but spot on.

Terrorists are often expected to be self-financing, so training in fraud is included alongside bomb making.

Yup. Works for most companies, since legal people tend to take (well-written and informed) documents seriously.
Seems like both a smart and honourable move.
Pretty sure backstage the picture will be rather uglier, tho'. Rev up your resumes, Delta webserfs

Very true. The French constitutional court gutted most of the legislation regarding "illegal" downloading and streaming so they've basically given up.

Hey works for me
Well wrote.
But are you suggesting that such decisions are not necessary?
I think OP was referring to recent purchase by the Gmen of a robotics company that, among other things, also does stuff for the military. The two use cases are so similar that i guess it makes sense to do codevelopment

This shit gets modded up?
They're talking about stability control, not traction control.
