Can you imagine your paper boy throwing an e-reader at your front door every morning?! Especially if this thing is mean to be newspaper sized... I don't think the newspaper companies have thought this through clearly!
"Hi it says I need to upgrade my RAM, what is that?"... "RAM is a part of your computer, if you have more of it, you can expect it to run faster... tell me what your computer is running and I'll see if I can help you out."... "Uh, right now the computer is running Bob's heart and lungs for him."
Hospitals are big on not messing with things that work.
Well, NT didn't work to begin with, that was the problem. At the risk of sounding apprehinsive and alarmist... I prefer to not apply the "just don't change anything and everything will be fine" creedo, doubly so to critical equipment. Because thats what this story is all about, somebody changed something simple and everything went kablooey.
Hospital equipment running Windows NT... Virus or no, I wouldn't want my life to depend on that machine.
"Yeah, I hooked him up to the EKG and it just keeps saying device not recognized."
The definition for rape on the listing seems a bit exclusive... "Rape: The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will.". I understand the opposite sex may not have the same problem, but is that really a good reason to exclude them from the very definition of rape?
I work in a unionized government job in Canada, under the SGEU. We negotiated every second Friday off into our contract. My work hours are 8:30 - 5:00 with one fifteen minute breaks and half an hour for lunch. My previous job did not have every second Friday off, but offered the same schedule except with an hour fifteen for lunch and two 15 minute breaks. That 1 hour a day adds up. I feel it does not affect my workload or performance and I get another full day off a week! I couldn't be happier.

"I mostly just fear for our collective safety." I, for one, fear for our collected saftey. :D

Cool. Would you kindly let me know when they start producing plasmids?
what could be so bad that it can't be printed on a /. page?!
Well he could have been running around the stage pretending he was an airplane.
I think there is already a religion that worships Transformers.
So, he has determined a doomsday scenario that his company can prevent for $150 million? Lets think about that for a minute...
