The strain currently causing trouble in Germany shows indeed multiple resistances. Interestingly, in the case of EHEC, this is somewhat moot, as antibiotic treatment is not even the best choice. The enterotoxin causing the the haemolytic-uraemic syndrome gets released when you kill the bacteria, so antibiotics can make the symptoms even worse, to the point that you can't use them.
Lucky. I booked via a local travel agency. I assumed that booking a flight that shows up as Lufthansa in a german travel agency would actually get you a Lufthansa flight. Well, I learned my lesson....
Thanks for exemplifying the mindset of the FOSS crowd:
I am using crap , but it is MY crap. Using crap makes me better than you. If you do not agree with me, you are, i cite "retarded", "stupid" and "uncaring":
Have fun in your weird little sociotope, while the world progresses around you. by the way, you still haven't named any innovation coming out of FOSS. I am waiting.
Hm. Exactly what kind of business environment are you in that breaks iPhones within one day? You might try to use them as phones instead of trying to hammer in nails with them.
Well, it infringes on his rugged individualism. After all, getting told to do something for the safety of the majority and to stop something that benefits only him would be SOCIALISM. Yes, comrade, SOCIALISM. We do not want that around here, do we?
Checklists and procedures are categorized by urgency. The essential stuff, like the mentioned engine restart, is memorized and gets trained in the simulator regularly. There is a whole lot of non-critical shit though, where you would want to pull out the manual before doing it. Failure of one of a triple-redundant hydraulic pump, stuff like that. You still gotta work a checklist/workflow after that, and for this, you pull the manual.
If you do actually get Lufthansa when you book it. Damn Star Alliance shit put me on a United cattle wagon on my last transatlantic flight. That's like booking first class and getting put into the cargo hold instead.
I give you that Linux is a pretty solid system - but innovative? It's a Unix clone after all. Apart from that - no applications worth a shit, tbh. Where is a decent picture manipulation software? GIMP? Aptly named failed Photoshop clone with half the functionality and usability. Where is a decent audio system that can hold any water to Cubase and Reason? Nowhere. Office stuff? Open office - MS Office clone that lacks basic functionality, especially in the spreadsheet sector, and has no innovation at all over MS Office. Show me anything original, please. Clones, and bad ones at that wherever I look. And you wonder why there is no year of "linux at the desktop"? Because FOSS is copying commercial successes 10 years after the fact.
Of course it can be transferred verbally - it is a highly contagious meme after all. Seriously, I heard stuff like "Even atheists admit that the bible is divinely inspired." The mind boggles.
I'll check it out, thanks. Last I heard was small shit on the weather radar might have obscured the really big, bad shit. I'll watch the video to see if anything new came up there.
They do think that way. I've seen it personally. I met people that sincerely believed that atheists know that god exists, but actively deny him, because they want to be evil. Scientist are just part of this god-denial conspiracy in their minds. Killing a couple of unborn kids before breakfast is pretty much a requirement to join the evil atheist club in their minds.
Of course you can change the law to that end. Limit litigation fees, slap a ceiling on lawyer fees and there you go. Outrageous litigation costs that allow big business to bully the small players due to their inability to pay for trial is pretty much an American specialty. Works way better in other countries.
No patent requires documentation to the detail level that would equate source code, how do you get that idea?. The source is not inventive, that's just a particular implementation.
Same here in Germany. Any vertebrate needs to be made unconscious before killing it. I just had a game warden check my equipment for the right kind of club to knock out my fish before bleeding them on my last fishing trip. Around here we definitely have penalties - in the fishing case, that would be suspension of your fishing license if you get caught not doing it the proper way.
Maybe. But that's thin. If I got that C&D under these circumstances, it would immediately return to sender with the note to shove it where the sun don't shine. I don't see how they could have a standing on the trademark issue.
There is a point where you should realize that the hole you dug yourself into is deep enough by now. Strawmen over strawmen. Where do I say we know everything? That's right. Nowhere. And if you seriously deny CO2 trapping IR as the main mechanism of the greenhouse effect, then please explain to me why the radiation equilibrium between incoming sunlight and outgoing blackbody radiation puts the global average temperature at about 20K less than observed when you do not take CO2 into account. As for your "hypothesis" - come on. I don't really need to answer there. There is nothing special about anthropogenic CO2. You just made up another strawman. Other sources are taken into account.
Hm... very interesting. He actually seems to have voted against it. "Graves said he believes the act gave too much power to the government, a problem cited by many of the people who helped elect him." Source here
Yep. Deep, weird, shit. It's not like this was the first law signed by autopen in the absence of the signee, but with his spoken consent. But hey, these days, shit-stirring about technicalities seems to be the agenda. Saves you from discussing content.

As Astrophysicist, could you point out what all those shutters on the telescope buildings that constantly open and close are all about?
No VLT, but a short glimpse on Teide observatory, though... ;D With or without, beautiful movie, thanks for the link.

Ah, Burnhard, my favourite climate troll is still around. How's the brain, mate? Grown a second neuron by now?

So you are saying that the community not just doesn't want to innovate, but also is unable to? Pretty much sums up my experience.

Well, yeah. That's more a problem of the US patent system - and especially the US patent litigation systems - than of patents in general, though.
Writing FOSS that is actually innovative and not a carbon copy of what commercial software did 10 years ago and better would be an alternative.

This autopen machine is pretty much standard procedure. Why it gets dug out now is beyond me.
