They're installing it in a hospital, so perhaps they have a lot of patients wearing adult diapers, saves having to help someone up to go to the toilet all the time.
damn. I blew out the last 4 gig of my qouta d/ling that client so my gf would stop whinging about only having FPS games on my pc, and they're about to pull This kind of shite on me. Now I have to go find my old Guild Wars key! Congrats on finding a way to piss off a Whole bunch of people at once Turbine.
Do you think that "we're on our Honeymoon in Hawaii" added anything to your *ahem* enjoyment and made it more fun?
Being away from all of your worries and cares and in a classic fun, sexy vacation spot quite possibly helped set the stage for what was apparently a quite memorable time, kudos.
Really? You're surprised that legal counsel would screw up such a Huge, Complicated, Highly Technical case, or that they perhaps weren't given all the information by their client? Or that perhaps the people tasked with working with the lawyers weren't given all the necessary information, because it was embarrasing? IANAL, but I watch them on TV, and I reckon I can see this kind of thing happening.
Experience can be created/transferred, from one person to another, by a wonderful process called 'talking'. My father (and to a lessor extent my Mother) told me about a number of experiences from their younger years, some painful, some horrifying, most very enlightening. My life has also been one with lots of "Experiences" in it, however I've managed to avoid a number of the problems that my parents encountered, such as getting married before you knew what it really entailed, which of course lead to a painful divorce, leading to emotional consolation by a good friend, which lead to a pregnancy, which lead to a quick marriage and my older brother.
My parents were open and honest about these very painful experiences from their past, and I have benefited from their wisdom. They didn't just say "Thou shalt not", they said "Thou shalt not, because we have, and this is what happened." A young child benefits from strong boundaries, an older child needs to see the Reasons behind the boundaries. As a person grows older, their parents need to help them learn more and more, not keep imposing more and more rules without reason.

Here in backwards Australia, (at least at my local theatre on the sunshine coast in SE Qld), they hand out 3d glasses that quite easily sit on the outside of my regular glasses. They're obviously designed to allow glasses-wearing patrons to wear both their prescription glasses and the 3d glasses at the same time without significant messing around.
I Did get quite overwhelmed by Avatar, however I also have a slight astigmatism in my right eye, which may have had something to do with it. I felt quite overloaded with sensory information, which is probably due to the Astigmatism, the length of the movie, and not having seen a 3D movie recently (most of the older glasses would only sit in the same place my regular glasses do).
I saw Alice in 3D (kinda meh movie), didn't get the same overload problems, however it was shorter, obviously shot/created via a different method, and was the 2nd 3D movie I've seen in recent months.
And yet another lesson in customer service, whether tech related or not. Own up to the problem early, apologise, explain what happened, how you fixed it, and how you're going to prevent it from happening again. Any half-way intelligent business customer knows that shite happens, no backup plan is fail proof, what you Really want besides five 9s is a hosting company who's going to be up front and honest.
Information is power, sharing information increases that power, it doesn't reduce it, so having your customers know more about your company and how it handles problems (assuming you're good at it) will increase their confidence and encourage them to keep working with you. You never know, you may impress them enough that they'll tell others about how well you handled the problem, and a good reputation is pure gold in any business.
They were imported to replace horses during Australia's settlement, much of the centre of Australia is very dry and much better suited to camels than horses. In one famous long distance race, a camel was beaten by a horse to the finish line, at which time the horse gave up and died. The camel and it's rider turned around and went back to the start line.
We actually export live camels to the middle east, as we have lots of strong wild camels and there are also plans to start slaughtering them and selling them to the middle east as meat. Camel numbers in Australia are apparently growing at an exponential rate.
Yup. It was on/. before, I Swear, but I can't find a link to it. Lots of links to other discussions of it, but I couldn't find a link to the/. story on it.
Would be interesting to cross-reference the restaurants where they found good/bad fish and which ones are supplied by the Moonies.
Yup, news about that was posted on/. just last week, we were all giddy with excitement, pity you missed the launch party, we had dancing girls and Everything!
Right, because the same people who are very interested in Baseball would be very interested in Firefly. . .
Wrong network, wrong timeslot(s!!!!), wrong demographics
DDO has a similar system, when you load the game you usually get automatically dropped into one of the worlds with a population that isn't too big, but will still allow you to find a decent party. And you can swap between worlds in taverns iirc. So essentially they have one system of Instanced Worlds, and a system inside that of Instanced Dungeons.
I'm just pleasantly shocked that Solid Oak is suing for Cost x Number of Violations, rather than Some Number We Think We Were Hurt By (trademarked by the RIAA). It's not seventy bajillion dollars, it's the amount of money they would have made if the actual software had been purchased rather than illegally copied, something like what happens in Australia if you're found to have insufficient licences for your business' software. You have to buy licences, and they may monitor you, and perhaps fine you if it's been particularly egregious, but the upshot is that you simply have to pay for the software you've been using.
Not to mention that flu likes to jump species, which I'm reasonably sure polio is incapable of. Poxes Can jump species, however the effect is quite different, as I understand it Cow Pox was infecting Milk Maids and causing minor symptoms, but they were immune to Small Pox.
Arthroscopy of the knee for what? Citation needed.
I had a chuck of floating cartilage taken out using an Arthroscopic procedure (three scopes at once, SOP I believe), after which I was no longer prone to randomly falling over because the chunk of cartilage had moved and was mechanically preventing my knee from taking any weight. It was an outpatient procedure and allowed me to walk again without crutches. Not that pointless.
my girlfriend looks so hot riding a bicycle, it's hazardous to my ability to ride along with her. I think it's at least partly because it reminds me of cute, fresh young ladies riding bicycles in movies and laughing. And the posture is just so sexy!
Actually, you Can use Add/Remove Programs to Add software, there's a tool on the left side of the gump that you point at setup files, and I would imagine it tries to make sure the program is setup properly. I have never heard of or seen anyone use it though.

OMG. For a moment there I thought I read "goatse."
Concerned Onlooker is concerned. Also perhaps having a moment of Freudian Slippingness?

Good judgement and Wisdom come from Experience.

Yes, because when the government turns down your application for a new road tunnel, they give you the explosives to do the job yourself.

We apologise for the removal of the above comment, the people who did the arresting have been arrested. My sister was bitten by a horse, no really.
insightful (fellow Ozzie here), do you have a newsletter?

Pity the Soviets got it to work and it became a Panzer-killer, and the US/Britain didn't then.
