Different cultures have different taboos. Remember Janet Jackson during the Superbowl? I'd be willing to bet that gigantic shitstorm in the US would have been perfectly acceptable for a lot of other cultures.
I wonder if all that extra ad revenue will make up for the fact that a bunch of their core demographic are using university network connections that block access to Battle.net.
If the market is basing its pricing of Apple's stock on Jobs' health, that's kind of the market's fault, don't you think? I certainly wouldn't want to be required to disclose my personal medical history because some external entity decided to base financial decisions on it.
I like this idea, because it has the side-effect of forcing management to define in writing...
I'm all for that
...exactly the services the IT-department / infrastructure is actually supposed to provide
Sounds great!
...and also forces *them* to define some metrics...
...aaaand you lost me. You were so close, too.
I once worked for a company that asked one of their clients to define required performance metrics for an OLTP system. Up until that point I had no idea you could process 5000 concurrent transactions per second on an Oracle database running on a pentium II with 32 MB of RAM, but apparently it's possible. Otherwise the client would never have asked for it.
Unless one of those halves goes spinning off somewhere, why would the gravitational pull radically change? It's still the same mass in the same relative position. It would have to be one hell of an explosion to nudge half the moon out of orbit.
No, the parent to your post got it right. It's not what you signed, it's the act of doing the signing that matters. A more detailed explanation can be found here.
In Phoenix, the only metric for determining feasibility of a public works project is how much it can inconvenience the populace. Specifically, the more the better.
Oh, how I hate you, utterly useless new light rail system in the middle of the goddamn city.
I don't trust these stair-climbing robots. Sure, they'll claim to protect you from some terrible secret of space, but there's something in those shifty glowing eyes that makes me think that they're up to no good.
You'll be fine unless there's a buffer overflow. Though I suppose remote execution would be a problem if you're in the shower and some jackass decides to flush an output stream.
What is a "planned" neighborhood? Are these only planned somehow for young people, or it just ended up that way. Who does this planning?
GP is most likely talking about a community that has all of its infrastructure (schools, commercial centers, utilities, police/fire, etc.) designed and constructed at roughly the same time, instead of the more traditional organic growth model that characterizes most areas.
One example of a planned community that I used to live near is Ashburn Village, in Virginia.
There is at least one taker that I know of - City of Heroes recently released the ability for players to create their own quest lines, via a tool called Mission Architect
I haven't played it myself, but from all accounts it appears to be a success.
Many of the things you describe would normally be encapsulated in an HL7 OBX segment. That being said, it's actually a lot harder than it probably should be to get a complete HL7 reference, so it's not really surprising that implementations are lacking.
The last time I had access to a full specification was when I was working for a company that was a member of the HL7 working group a few years back. It really shouldn't be as difficult as it was (still is?) to get a full spec.
You're asking for the wrong thing - message standards for different record types already exist in the HL7 spec. However, as you mention, there are lots of systems that ignore those and just deal with Z segment (arbitrary data) HL7 messages. Kinda defeats the purpose, but that's the medical data industry for you.
The problem is not a lack of standards, the problem is getting providers to actually use the standards that are there right now.
Why would a competent sysadmin be using the XP installer instead of a locked down image? Again, we're talking about good security and network management practices here.
So true. And so uncalled for here. Because surfing legitimate sites and catching a trojan is nothing that network security can do about.
How so? Network security in this context doesn't mean setting up a firewall and calling it a day, it means layered security of the entire network, including all the devices attached to it.
In the case of a trojan payload, properly patched machines along with restricted user accounts help quite a bit.
Everything is traceable if it is going some where that needs to have someone read it.
That depends greatly on whether or not an external entity can detect the act of reading. There could be a NIC running in promiscuous node on your network right now, and you wouldn't know.
Of course, the real trick is basing a protocol on that general idea, but it's theoretically possible.

You expect us to react in a light-hearted way to a List made up by someone named Schindler? What kind of monster are you?

Somehow I think not...
I believe the summary is the first time I've ever seen "sensitivity" used as a synonym for "tendency to explode violently."
Based on some spectacular chemistry class demonstrations of lithium/water interaction, I'm going with significantly less safe than Li-ion.

Note that this story is coming out of the UK, not the US. The majority of the car-driving world drives smaller vehicles.

It would most likely be bright white, like titanium dioxide. So the super-soldiers of the future will look like they've been doused in suntan lotion.
They get you what they think you want after you ask for it. That's a critical difference between what Google does now and the proposed new system.

Good to know. I could probably solve world hunger with the cat hair under my furniture.
Nope, came in under my regular account name. Unless, of course, this is the imposter posting again...
Same here. Wonder if this will show up as being posted by the account that I appear logged in as instead of my own.
