Living Cell Technology is basically doing this in a way with the porcine implantations, the piggy cells are encapsulated in a permeable coating that allows them to function but disguises them to the human body.
Also saw mysql go bonkers on two systems, both Ubuntu 12.04, one server, one desktop. Used 100% of a core. Restarting mysql didn't help but rebooting fixed it.
I saw 100% spikes on other servers at the time, but they sorted themselves out.
Because there will come a time when you are away from home and will think "if only I had made SSH accessible I could fix the server right now using my mobile to ssh in, instead of having to go home"
It was a demo flight, they are (were) shopping the aircraft around various airlines looking for buyers. The pilots would not be "familiar" with the terrain. This was not a public transport flight, it was a private flight.
These demo flights operate in, lets say, a manner designed to impress the passengers.
A flight down low up an incredibly scenic valley, is one way of impressing your passengers. Miss judging the space needed to get out of that valley, that's not quite so impressive:(
Really now, Business Intelligence is News for Nerds? No. No it's not. Next thing you'll be making SlashMarketing and filling the site with... MARKETERS, and if that's not a nightmare scenario for 99% of your present users, I don't know what is.
There is still a Hurricane down at Wanaka - but it's not being flown due to costs, and for sale if you have the dosh. It looked sad at the last airshow, sitting idle on the apron:-(
In my considerable experience, when somebody asks you to sign an NDA, or won't give you any information without some arbitrary contract signing, it's dollars to donuts, an idea just like this, "you know existing site that makes billions of dollars, yeah, like that, actually, can you just copy that", and not only that, they are the FRUIT LOOPS, the biggest PITA clients you will ever get, they have no idea what they want, except that it's not what you've shown them, or it was when you showed them the concept, and then wasn't when you did it.
They never have any money. They will want you to work for a share of the non-existant (but sure to be billions of dollars worth, because look at how much those other sites are worth) profits.
If somebody contacts me and they either say:
a) "I need you to sign......." (with not even some high level overview)
b) "please call me on........" (with nothing to say what about)
c) "I need some work done on my website" (with no hint of what the website is)
d) "can you add this to my website, but I won't give you any server information, you will have to send all your work to me in a zip file"
I send them to the round filing system in the corner. They all spell TROUBLE.
I am around 1 unit to 4 gram insulin:carb ratio, so, 300 unit bolus is circa 1200 grams of carb, 1.2 kg (2.64 lbs) of (somewhat rapidly absorbed depending how quick you got onto it) carbs.
Probably unpleasant but not impossible, if your life depended on it. What does a typical bottle of coke contain? It wouldn't have to be instant if you caught it early enough, spread over an hour wouldn't be so bad.
At least modern insulin is far more stable than that, I run through a solostar in about 2 weeks, it certainly doesn't get int he fridge, neither do my Humalog carts, I use one of those in 10 days.
Next you'll be telling me that I should change the needle more than once a cartridge, or my lancing device needle more than once a... ever.
I saw this as a rendering some years ago, thought it was brilliant as an idea , a Carver One with a Gyrocopter, but I thought it was way to fanciful and that they would never actually manage to pull it off, thought it would be just another Moller.
Well damn it, if they didn't go and build the thing.
I don't think I've ever wanted anything so much in my life as to own that.
You do need the card (for this particular attack), but it is trivial to hide the fact that you are doing anything funny, all you have to do is have the wire from the fake card hidden literally up your sleeve.
Don't know what it's like in the rest of the world, but here in NZ fuel stations make diddly squat on the sale of fuel, the vast majority of their profit comes from the in-store (impulse) purchases.
Card at pump seriously erodes these purchases, prepay does as well to an extent. NZ is mostly fill-then-pay-inside because of this.
DRTFA, but if they are advocating not enforcing the GPL and just developing instead - why don't they just advocate using a BSD derived licence?
In other words, if you have chosen to use GPL for your code, then you must have done so because you want people to abide by those conditions, and so you must want to enforce them.
If you don't, then don't use GPL.
If you selectively enforce GPL, then it just weakens enforcement.
Brings back happy memories of going into the bookshop every month to get the latest issue of Zzap! 64 with the cassette, and later Amiga Shopper with disk(s).
I can almost smell the newsprint if I close my eyes. Sigh.

They could do a ton more for their NNTP support..
Yeah!
How's Firefox's Gopher support?
So, like this...

Work in progress obviously, but people are working on it.

Apparantly Mozilla saw it also with MySQL and Java.

More specifically, they said "please don't look under the shelf IF YOU ARE A ROBOT"
Because there will come a time when you are away from home and will think
"if only I had made SSH accessible I could fix the server right now using my mobile to ssh in, instead of having to go home"
RTFM, if you want to avoid the dynamic typing, then you can...
http://php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php
$a = array('7.1'); // false
var_dump(in_array('7.10', $a, $STRICT=TRUE));
I won't say PHP doesn't have it's faults, but dynamic typing is more feature than fault IMHO. Just use it properly.
Right. Futz w/ CSS.
I think you need to take another look at the Chrome Developer Tools, there is a hell of a lot more there than "futzing with css".

And how do you know which ones ARE credible?
Who is to say this isn't a program of desensitisation, imagine the headlines "Bomb threat ignored, 300 dead"
Why build one when you can have two for twice the price.
