I find it hard to believe that it would be close to similar. Theoretically, since everyone “has” to buy insurance, forcing insurance companies to ignore pre-existing conditions is okay. However, in practice, it’ll be much cheaper to not have insurance, pay the fine for not having the “mandatory” coverage, and then after you find out that you have diabetes or cancer or you burned out your liver, the insurance company will be forced to sell you a plan and shell out big bucks for your health care costs after the house has already burned down, so to speak.
As soon as enough people figure this out it’ll bankrupt all of the private insurance companies, which of course is exactly what the socialised health-care advocates are counting on. Then once everyone is on the government-run plan they can start to drastically cut corners to reduce costs, claim it’s “unavoidable” (which will be true, at that point), and with no alternatives people will just have to accept it.
That’s why you use the food stamps on “eligible” food stuffs so you can spend every last penny of what you do make (or, better yet, panhandle, since that’s unreported income) on cigarettes, booze, and lottery tickets.
Any single explanation would be a gross over-simplification, so here goes.
When you press the “walk” button, one or more of the following may occur:
(a) nothing different, lights are timed and the green and walk signals turn on when they would normally have (b) signal turns green sooner that it would otherwise have (it may not have turned green at all without pressing the button) (c) signal stays green longer to give pedestrians extra time to cross (d) oncoming traffic’s green signal and/or left-turn arrow is delayed / disabled (d) walk signal turns on during the next green signal (instead of the don’t walk signal) (e) signal turns red in all directions and walk signal turns on, giving pedestrians a chance to cross
In all cases except (a), it is to the pedestrians’ advantage to press the walk button, so unless they know for certain that it doesn’t do anything, they should press it.
To complicate the matter further, the signals may act completely differently at different times of the day.
What you think "being drunk" is? It's dehydration.
I really, really hope you meant to say “being hung over”. Because, of course, “being drunk” is not at all about dehydration.
If you want to get really specific:
ethanol acts in the central nervous system by binding to the GABA-A receptor, increasing the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA (i.e. it is a positive allosteric modulator).
Somebody complains that their neck hurts. You give them a bottle of sugar pills. They take one twice a day and stop complaining.
Somebody complains that the room is too hot. You install a thermostat that does nothing. They happily fiddle with it once or twice a day and stop complaining.
Timing can still be important. They might stay open for a certain length of time regardless of whether you press the button.
E.g. if the doors just opened and you press the button and nothing happens for 2 seconds, that doesn’t imply that the button didn’t do anything. They still might have stayed open much longer if you hadn’t pressed the button, but wouldn’t close so soon after they’d just opened.
That might prevent the attacker from accomplishing anything since it would happen within milliseconds of him sending a duplicate cookie.
No. Up to 5 minutes, by default. Blacksheep generates traffic with a fake session ID every 5 minutes, and it notifies you when the fake cookie is used. Your real session cookie can be stolen any time your browser talks to the Facebook server, and Blacksheep doesn’t detect that.
and yet i frequently use the close door button to real effect in nearly every elevator i have been in in the last fifteen years including ones installed since 2000.
Unless you try it both with and without, you don’t know for sure it was doing anything. The doors might have been closing anyway.
I’ve been in elevators where I’m pretty sure the close door button actually made them close, but I wouldn’t hazard to say it worked in all of them, despite the fact that I usually push it.
Of course, unless I’m going more than a couple of floors, I’ll take the stairs anyway, and I have the regular old doorknob figured out pretty well I guess.
and had pagemaker set as the "shell" in system.ini.
FTFY.
If you had any kind of program launcher, you could use this "embedded" windows like the full version
If you had any kind of text editor, you could change the shell to any.exe and restart windows. Not that it would be a practical way of using windows, though...
It probably was ppp. An unfortunate MD5 collision seems much more improbable than simple incompetence on the part of the database administrators.
In fact, I’d assume most likely it was a tribute to the point-to-point protocol (used for dial-up internet connections and replaced by the PPPoE, point-to-point protocol over ethernet, for some broadband connections).
Ah, that brings back memories... 24.4k modems, Trumpet WinSock on Windows 3.11, and Netscape Navigator. Upgrading to 56k was a big deal. The 3.5mb installation for Netscape 3 (or maybe it was 4) took hours to download and I had to keep everybody else in the house off the telephone because I didn’t have a download manager...
The use of pirate for copyright infringement goes back only 40 years, to the best of my ability to research it. Can you provide any evidence for the hundreds of years claim?
I’ve seen an old document that referred to “word-pyrates” or some such, though I can’t find it on Google at the moment.
In any case, it is an atrocious abuse of the English language regardless of whether it’s new or old. Somebody somewhere sometime got PO’d at somebody for copying their work and compared the copiers to raping, pillaging, murdering swashbucklers. Big fucking deal. It wasn’t a legitimate comparison then and it isn’t a legitimate comparison now either.
Well, obviously. But what does that mean? And what’s the difference?
they want to be friends with their lover, but the sexual interest has to be there first
I see it the other way round. Sexual interest is a moment-by-moment thing... some moments it’ll be there and some moments it won’t. Actually learning to like someone “not that way” takes a lot longer and is a lot less temperamental. They’re putting the cart before the horse. And then they wonder why things go askew.
What amuses me is the progression from AFC to smooth operator - basically, girls demand a certain pattern of behavior, guys learn the pattern, start getting lots of attention, and then the girls (who would've ignored said operator if he wasn't so smooth) chase the guy, while the guy notices all the attention and take full advantage. Then girls wonder why it's hard to find a good man.
In other words, girls only go for assholes and then wonder why they can’t stand any of their boyfriends. Yeah, that’s exactly what I was complaining about.
Oh, make no mistake about it... I think it’s impressive too. Running – at any pace at all – for 5 hours? Yeah, that’s impressive. But once again it’s an application of human intelligence that even makes it possible.

Difficult. Though, making them pass a piss test occasionally to qualify for continuation of benefits wouldn’t hurt.

That’s the very definition of placebo.

In some intersections it prevents the oncoming traffic from getting a left turn signal.
You could always just stick your hand in the door and trip the sensor that opens it back up.

If that is your website, you should spell-check it. “services” is misspelled as “servcies” on NT 3.1.
Better yet, post the link to the “printable” version.

I was wondering if anybody else had read that headline the way I had. Good to know I wasn’t alone...
I have learned to HATE overlapping windows and would love to have a tabbed & tiling window manager for Windows
Tabbed no can do, but tiling is done by Task Manager from XP and up. Ctrl-click to select multiple applications.
And if you need an ampersand (&), & does the trick.
So does an ampersand (&) (unless it happens to be followed by lt; or some other HTML entity).
