In my experience, corps promise a certain amount of profitability to try to boost their stock price each quarter, so being profitable isn't enough, and a profitable division can still get head count slashed, or removed entirely, so that they can say "We're making $580,000 profit per head this quarter". IOW, it's not about making money for every company--it's about playing the stock game.
They aren't necessarily tiresome. Some people can play games all day without hurting themselves.
Musicians learn to avoid building up muscle tension, both in the muscles they use, and sympathetic tension in the muscles they aren't using. They learn to keep good posture, keep their wrists relatively straight, to breathe properly and so forth, and these skills get passed down to new musicians.
The same skills apply to video games. But there's no "classical video game technique". People tense up, have terrible posture, and generally do things that will hurt themselves if they keep it up long enough. It's totally natural, and takes training for most people to avoid it.
I'm not proposing any particular solution to this, but I think some basic training might help with the sort of people who injure themselves playing video games. Certainly the ways to avoid RSI are non-obvious, whether you're playing Street Fighter or sitting in an office typing all day.
Er, 4 hasn't been supported for a while. Nor 5. Nor 6. Nor 7. 8 was EOLed on December 20, and 9 will be EOLed on Jan 31.
There are no backported security or stability fixes for 4-8. To put it in Mozilla's terms, 5 is the security/stability release for 4, 6 is the security/stability release for 5, and so on.
According to TFA, the first ESR will be 10, not 4.
That IS weird, considering they've rolled out only minor updates and UI problems since 3.6. I'm puzzled that the requirements would have changed at all.
Two or three hours of television a week seems like an awful lot to me. If 34 is the average, I suddenly feel more distant from the people around me than ever.
Last time I was at Kaiser, they admitted me and put me on a saline IV for about fifteen minutes. Then someone came in, unhooked me, and told me I could go. I staggered to my feet, vomited blood on their floor, and protested, "but I'm still vomiting blood!" They replied, "Don't worry. We'll send someone to clean it!" and left.
Maybe I just had food poisoning and they couldn't do anything. I don't know, and I don't think they know either, because they didn't particularly try to figure out what was wrong, as best as I can tell. But hey, I survived! And I managed not to puke in the cab that took me back home.
Plus they billed me $1000 for 15 minutes of a saline IV.
Yes, though Siri is a product made using the research done by the CALO Project, most of which is available to the public and not locked up and owned by Apple. If Google wants to copy Siri, it doesn't have to start entirely from scratch.
I don't type that slowly, but I do find handwritten notes on paper to work well for me. I retain the information better, I can use symbols and drawings to express concepts much more easily, and I'm convinced my brain works differently while writing than typing.
Unfortunately, no one else can read my notes. On the bright side, no one else can read my notes.
I can't argue, but I do notice I think very differently in different physical spaces. I find I can solve coding architecture tasks better if I go for a walk outdoors, for example. Sitting in front of my computer seems to be better for detail-oriented work. So while I don't really understand how the brain works, and I wouldn't have guessed the results if you'd asked me beforehand, they do make intuitive sense to me. Changing spaces affects cognition.
That was essentially the same conclusion I came to. It claims I downloaded things called Dexter and Nikita; I'm the only user, and I don't think anyone hacked my FreeBSD box just to torrent three TV shows. Moreover, I'd have noticed the bandwidth use. I'm also sure the IP the box is using is the same as it was then.
I'd say your remark, "take the Breaking Bad approach and eliminate your competition", shows you to be clearly out of touch with reality, but you put in a smiley so I guess I can't. Frickin' smiley.

Hahahahaha.
No.
People torrent those, too!
I work much better if I disable all notifications, and only find out I have an IM when I decide to check them.
Of course! einstein.xxx!

Oh god!

An obvious troll comment, modded up to +5. Yeesh.
Don't forget all your privatized prisons. What a wonderful place to live!
Netapp's biggest customers aren't paying those prices.
If you stupidly give them consent, they can search whatever they want.

Holy crow! I'm glad you're okay. How bad was it?
I missed the mention of "Steam" and interpreted this as being about relationships. Whoops!

How fortunate we are that this is not Facebook.

You realize you'd be bombarded with 20 minutes of mimes per hour.
