Steroids, even if taken under the supervision of a physician, can have severe side effects if taken for long periods of time. Little things, like blindness from cataracts, have happened to people that I know.
It's one thing to use them to treat real medical problems, after having weighed the risks and benefits. Using them to outperform the non-juiced competition is dishonest, unethical and stupid. I don't care if J. Random Ballplayer smokes dope or snorts cocaine. I do care if he uses drugs that artificially enhance his performance and make it difficult or impossible for the "all natural" player to play at a competitive level.
If it was up to me, I'd expel any player that was a chronic user of these drugs for performance enhancement.
On real computers, you don't pull disks out of the system when you feel like it. You ask the operating system to dismount the disk in an orderly fashion. Then you remove the disk.
It's the mechanical eject button that is the insane design decision.
Would adoption of IPv6 make it more difficult for people to make unsolicited calls with VOIP? One of the advantages of a 128-bit IP address is that the number of IP addresses that are in actual use is small compared to the total address space.
That's only if you have a wire pair connecting your telephone to the central office. The telephone company is free to take that pair and give it to a paying customer. It's not a dependable way of getting emergency telephone service.
It's 8-bit (non-linear) sampling at 8 kHz, resulting in 64 kbps. Which gives an audio bandwidth of a bit less than 4 kHz. Europe uses a similar, but not identical, standard for digitizing phone calls.
A modern hard disk can only read from a single head at a time. It can't read multiple surfaces in parallel. There is only one head positioner and one servo channel. To read multiple surfaces in parallel, you would need an independent head positioner and servo channel for each surface.
Don't let the contracting agency off the hook. In many cases, overruns are caused by substantial changes and additions to the requirements, requiring large amounts of additional work by the contractor.

Boston should have required that they own any software that was written, modified or provided for the project, other than COTS stuff.
Whenever I've written software for the federal government, they get the source code and everything they need to maintain the software themselves or have someone else do the work.

Household power wiring is not designed to be an RF transmission line. Are they going to follow the path taken by BPL and Homeplug, that is to shit all over the HF spectrum since nobody important is using it?
Title: Extradition : a review of Australia's law and policy / Joint Standing Committee on Treaties.
Author: Australia. Parliament. Joint Standing Committee on Treaties.
Some interesting facts and background on Australian extradition policy. Includes statistics on extraditions.
There have always been problems with salesmen who offer "gifts" to purchasing agents in an effort to make the sale. Buy a case of somewhat overpriced toner cartridges and get a cheap prize. It's one step away from a kickback.
Who will protect the stupid? By definition, half of the population has below average intelligence. We don't tell mugging victims to shut up and learn Kung Fu.
The courts are the playground of the rich. Even if you had free legal help, you could wait years before your case came to trial. A small claims court, if available, is the only access that most people have to the legal system, other than being a defendant.
No. My mailbox is in a large group of mailboxes. The chances of none of us having mail to deliver is very small. My guess is that he had the day off, or was sick, and the post office couldn't get a replacement.
They often will intentionally make it difficult to submit the rebate by imposing arbitrary rules and conditions. My favorite is when the official rebate form is the size of a postage stamp.
You may just be lucky. While I usually get good service, sometimes the carrier never shows up, and sometimes he delivers the mail to the wrong address. Most carriers do a great job, but there are the exceptions.
It all depends on the design of the memory system. Any box can be crippled by a cheap/slow memory system. If you want large caches, low latency, and huge main memory bandwidth, you can have it, for a price.
That's one reason that I rarely listen to music on the radio anymore. Commercial, and many public, radio stations use multi-band compressors, euphemistically called modulation optimizers, to eliminate all traces of dynamic range. The suits insist on 100% modulation, all the time.
It's so that the incumbent users can be protected from interference. The FCC will deny the license if it would cause harmful interference to an incumbent user.
It's a clever scheme. By controlling the locations of fixed APs, they can prevent interference from mobile users.
I don't think you understand the cost and complexity of running a spacecraft and all the associated ground infrastructure needed to acquire telemetry data and command the spacecraft. It would be mind-boggling expensive and space systems engineers like to get paid for their work.

The original Arpanet packet switches were based on Honeywell minicomputers.

Watch Uncle Bill open the valve that feeds water into the methyl-isocyanate tank. Can you say "RUN!!!"?

A decent AM radio antenna (ferrite rod) would be way too large to fit in the case.

Where are the astronauts going to put the parts and tools that they need, not to mention the manipulator arm? Hide them in Cartman's butt?
