Why do we need to buy our children $300 mobile game systems to sate them? Are they that mindless, and their parents so careless, that they need to be electronically entertained and stimulated every waking minute of the day?

Four times in four days, I had Democratic canvassers knock at my door and pester me about whether I voted yet. I told them yes, I voted absentee, so my choices have already been made, thanks for stopping by, have a great day, good luck, etc.
Two of the four tried to unload pamphlet after pamphlet on me after I clearly said "Already voted, thanks for asking, our ballots are cast." By the fourth day, I was quite irked.
How about we ditch the annoying door-to-door crap and stick to good old fashioned email spam? You can buy a precompiled list of my political viewpoints, financial status, and email addresses from ${SOCIAL_NETWORK} for pennies on the dollar. That way I can just filter and delete what I don't want to read instead of having to stand at my door trying to talk over some rambling campaign volunteer and push their papers right back at them.
I'm going to take a "good people turn bad" approach to this one.
Scan for intentional backdoors and accidental gaping, well-known flaws with a fine-tooth comb. They may not have seemed too bright on the job but even an underperformer has enough insight into operations to find a way to mess up your day.
Perhaps pose it as a question to your better admins. "Knowing what you know, if you had to crack our system/application, how would you go about it?" Whatever their answer is, find a solution and implement it.
The fact that you're posting as AC and don't realize that the biggest players in the industry have implemented HL7 with great success demonstrates how little YOU understand about what you speak.
The big players in the industry (Cerner, Epic,McKesson) who are actively embracing HL7 as an interface standard seem to understand it a lot better than you do.
Do you work for one of those dying companies that's hemorrhaging clients to the big 3 because you couldn't get your shit together? Or better yet, are you one of those "entrepreneurs" who wants to put our healthcare "in the cloud" with Ruby on Rails and MongoDB and other hipster developer shit that's horribly unstable and traps patient data with no reliable way out?
The fact that this is modded "Insightful" instead of "Funny" is a hilarious indicator of Slashdot moderators' poor understanding of the finer points of confectionery.
That's ridiculous - why don't they have a computer and software left over from the old system that can access this data? Did somebody just not think and throw that out in their last device refresh?
The NHS made the right choice selecting a standards-compliant EHR system for their recent changeover. Adhering to industry standards like HL7 will ensure that this problem will never happen with the new system they have in place.
Based on what I see on their website and how much I've heard about the company (Answer: Nothing and nothing) an offer from Facebook would be a miracle.
I have a feeling this high-density storage idea is just a creative way to stick as many drives in a rack as possible, which means someone will easily beat it in no time because, face it, advances by the big storage companies means drives are getting more and more dense every day. Also, it won't be long before someone else comes along with an even-more-efficient arrangement of hard disks in a custom-built chassis in a 48U rack.
If Facebook wants to buy what's on your drawing board, go for it. You have two viable options at this point:
1. Sell for as much as you possibly can. Get every penny out of it that they're willing to give. Then take that money, hire people smarter than you, and make something even better than what you sold Facebook.
Or,
2. Negotiate a payoff for your idea, and employment. Go work for Facebook and help them bring your dream to life. You'll still get money for your idea but you'll make it come alive through their bankroll. They'll hire on very bright people and bring in storage experts to tweak things. I know it might suck to watch them come in and change your pet project, but watch and learn. You'll learn from these people, see flaws you never took into account, get to know them, work with them, and (forgive the schmoozing business term) network with them. If you choose this option you'll have a few good things going for you:
a. A job. You didn't finish high school - if you don't start another business, there's sadly not much else you can do.
b. Solid work experience for a Silicon Valley company. This will pay off in the long run.
c. Relationships with people in the industry. It's invaluable.
c. Knowledge. You'll learn things you don't yet know about the storage industry and the tech behind it.
These are second-degree hypotheticals though. If you're talking about it publicly that means you haven't signed an NDA, which means they haven't made you an offer yet. Don't count your chickens before they hatch, but always look a few steps ahead.
You're not in an information vacuum - the information is there, it's just buried.
I can't speak for every state, but here in Missouri, the Missouri Bar association runs a website which publishes recommendations from a Bar association committee based on individual performance evaluations provided by lawyers, and also reports on the technical quality of opinions written by the judge in question. They summarize their findings very nicely, provide a "Retain/Dismiss" recommendation, and cite sources for all of their claims and opinions.
I'd recommend browsing your state's bar association website to see if they offer a similar service.
Well if that vending machine doesn't work, then the Dr. Pepper machine right next to it won't work, either, and you might as well just kill yourself. Better hope the vending machine that sells the guns has some juice left in its UPS.
There's two things a good security guard must have on his belt at all times - a can of pepper spray, and when things get messy, a fanny-pack of quarters to call the police.
A president that engages with leaders around the world, actively involves them in decisions, generally works with them as partners rather than unilaterally starting wars.

Old enough to employ hyperbole in my rhetoric. ;)
Sorry, I said "whether I voted yet" when I meant to say "whether I was planning to vote." Please take note of this change for all future responses.

Calling this DRM is ridiculous. If I can't play AVI movies on an MPEG media player, that's not DRM, that's a format discrepancy.

Nice troll, AC. More like:
Apple to court: We can't resolve this dispute, help us.
Court: We don't have the resources to make a solid judgement on this. You're big boys, solve it on your own.
But I guess everything looks like your comment when you're a mindless fanboy or fandroid.
So when my heart skips a beat, it will actually skip quite a few? Sounds great, screw testing. Wire me up!
I read 13 tech blogs today. And I commented on THREE of them! And I tweeted @Apple. I'm SO influencing future technology.

That doesn't necessarily mean they're Libertarian... I'd say that means they read Ayn Rand's wiki page and thought "oooh, I could get in on that!"
Consider Slashdot Libertarianism the political equivalent of self-diagnosed Aspergers.
