OK, we have an election coming up. Can you name a serious presidential candidate who is not and will not be bought or extorted AND doesn't have a show-stopper issue like wants to dispose of nuclear waste in school lunches, attach sails to all motor vehicles by 2017, or ban kitchen knives?
Bonus points if he has a ghost of a chance of appearing in a debate seen by more than 2 people or of actually getting on the ballot.
There are a very few devices that will cut out at 1.3 (and so, the instructions insist on alkaline batteries). They must have searched long and hard to find one of those oddities to "legitimize" their claims.
The post office is being required to pay for pensions of people it hasn't even hired yet. The payments are for a period far enough into the future that some of the hypothetical eventual recipients haven't been born yet.
The LOMs are a real concern. Some more than others. The ones that are just bridged into the ethernet and have a serial prot connection (possibly connection to the video card) are not TOO risky as long as they are kept off of the public internet (sadly, many aren't isolated), but some also have JTAG connections to the main system. They can do absolutely anything they want to the server including hot patching the OS..
They have been available, but were not by any means the default. MOST Unix systems were accessed over a text terminal which might include a 300 baud modem (or even slower). Possibly using a hard copy terminal. That made short commands a good thing.
It's funny though how often that keeps coming in handy. I have been very grateful for short commands when fixing a networking problem over the very network that was having the problem. Since I didn't have to get much through it to implement the fix, it was possible.
Not to worry, the private contractor will cheat the employees out of their pensions and the Feds will have to make up for it through various safety net programs.
Since the rate of attacks before and after is about the same, the logical argument is that 9/11 was an anomaly.
Or, if we understand the hassles and massive expendature on airport security to be part of the attack (much like Reagan spooked the USSR to get it to bankrupt itself), then the rate is MUCH higher after 9/11 than before.
You either have the worst luck ever or you look really hard to find Windows only hardware. I have had no problems at all with interfacing hardware with Linux.
The feedback loop will be longer than with a natural pancreas, so the control won't be as tight, but I'm not so sure it will be that loose. In any case, manual management by injecting a bolus of longer but slower acting insulin analogs isn't going to be as good as a natural pancreas either. The pump will be doing continuous injection of faster and shorter acting insulin.
If that proves inadequate, they could always add a couple demand buttons, one to indicate the patient has started eating (the natural pancreas does get signals for that) and another to indicate exercise is beginning. Still not perfect, but it has real potential to provide much better control than manual injection.
Sorry, no. I hate to burst your bubble, but they could easily have kept the entire $200,000 without saying a word and they would have been in the clear legally. So I know it pains you deeply but you're just going to have to accept the most parsimonious explanation, some people aren't shitbags.
While it seems France may have gone too far, I can't help but laugh when you talked about people unhappy with their short term contracts when practically everyone in the U.S. is working under a 1 day contract that renews daily. That is, they can be fired at any time for any reason (or no reason). One day you go to work and see your desk on the front lawn.
The severance was part of their employment package. Ity is no less due to them than their weekly wages. When they accepted the job at the set wage, the eventual severance was part of the consideration.
If you and I agreed that you will sell your car to me for $X now and $Y next month, will you feel I am justified if next month I tell you you already got your $X and I'm not paying you a penny more?
And I'd be stinking rich if I could run up a huge debt and then not pay. But that's not how it works. They knew (or should have known) the law when they hired the employees. That is, when they willingly accepted the eventual obligation to pay severance.
I believe you are wrong in both directions. It is true that anyone can learn to program, but few do it well without some talent for it. Just as most people can read and write but few will ever be a successful author.
That doesn't make literacy (computer or other) useless at all. The basic abilities are themselves useful in life. You don't have to be able to write like Hemingway to benefit from the ability to read and write. I doubt Hemingway's grocery lists were any more inspiring than mine.

As the baby chick said, cheap cheap cheap!

Windows is wierdnix at best. CRLF indeed.

I wouldn't be so sure about the cheaper part. They might spend less but they will likely charge MORE.

Nevertheless, it is nice to see a court acknowledge the requirement to show criminal intent for a change.
A real pancreas doesn't know you're thinking of going on a bike ride either.
Actually, it does. What happens if someone resells a mac w/ an EFI hack installed?
Actually, many such councilors are secular.

The U.S. produces plenty of oil and gas. If we stop burning it, there's more than enough to support our industries internally.
Except you won't get detention if some kook reads something strange into it.
The sad part is that the U.S. fell for it so quickly after Reagan snookered the USSR into bankrupting itself in a similar way.

Qemu was fast compared to Bochs when running on the same architecture it was emulating in part because Bochs used full emulation all the time IIRC.
