If you have a real medical problem, you probably shouldn't see a doctor, for at least two reasons: (1) You probably can't afford it, and (2) There's about a 10% chance he or she will kill you.
If, on the other hand, you have some minor, trivial, and standardized medical problem, for which any required drugs are long since off-patent, you'll do about equally well with a physician or a nurse practitioner, or looking stuff up on web sites and getting drugs from pakistan.
When you really need someone with some skill is when you need some cutting done. Especially the anesthesiologist. Of course, you still probably can't afford it, and should just die instead, but if you're one of those lucky few who make enough money to justify the inevitable massive loss, do, please get the best surgical team money can buy.
Most of the good hardware people I've met have been hot chicks. Margaret St. Pierre, for example. I'm hoping against hope that this post will cause "hot chicks" to be associated forever with "Margaret St. Pierre" in the collective memory of the Internet.
No, it's definitely nation-states that do most of the overt killing. During the 20th century more than 180 million human beings were killed by the direct action of nation-states. I think the dead due to direct action of religious organizations would have to number in the low thousands.
It is a bit odd to see the claim that Israel is a democracy when the vast majority of the people whose homes are inside the territory controlled by Israel are not permitted to vote. The Arabs (actually mostly Druze) who sit in the Knesset are impotent to effect any respite in the continuing slaughter of the non-jewish population of Israel.
Sure it's doomed. The NPT allows any nation to withdraw at will; so it's like a door lock: it just keeps honest people honest. If you want nuclear weapons, and can afford them, you will have them in short order. And nowadays, a couple of million $US is quite enough to afford them. I've known several people personally who could go nuclear, if they had sufficient motivation. I'm truly stunned and amazed that no one has nuked D.C. or Moscow yet.
forebearers. i've got a forehead, and forearms, and i've read about goldilocks and the three bears, but unless your anatomy is very different from my own, you don't have forebears.
Baloney. LEO satellites like Iridium totally rock. Too bad they have no hope of paying for themselves due to the concentration of population in large killzones, erm, i mean cities.
> What happens when you do overrun your RAM just that one time?
The same thing that happens when you run out of swap space. It just happens a lot more efficiently. Namely, malloc returns null.
Really, there's no reason to have hard drives at all these days. Boot a knoppix image from track 1 of your dvd+rw, run a memfs filesystem in RAM, and checkpoint it to track2 of your dvd+rw on shutdown. Your system will be screaming fast when it never has to wait for disk I/O. You can get RAM for less than $100/GB nowadays.
"the lathe of heaven" was a horrible, horrible movie, but it was very true to the book, which was wonderful. m. le guin was deeply involved in producing that pathetic monstrosity. the skills of authors and filmmakers scarcely overlap.
the purpose of multiplying laws without end is to insure that everyone is guilty, and lives or dies at the whim of the state. the legislators who "represented" you to institute this system are the ones who turned your children and grandchildren into slaves. the slaves won't revolt as long as their lives are full of comfort and pleasure, so total slavery will continue at least long enough to insure that the slaveowners have a place to hide while the surface of the earth is cleansed of the human infestation.
What's wrong with paedophilia? You would prefer misopaedy? Paedophobia? Paedophiles are people who like children. People who aren't paedophiles should never have children. If no one was a paedophile, the human race would end! Do you want to be responsible for that? People were hung for much less at Nuremburg.
Because every windows install rots over time. It gets corrupted and unusable. Linux is easier to install, and runs faster. Why would I pay Microsoft to disable my movies again?
Hard drives are obsolete. Just stick about 16GB in your system, boot from a knoppix on dvd+rw track 1, and use track2 to checkpoint the memory on shutdown. Disks are for the elderly, who have time to wait.

I think there's considerably more social stigma associated with declining illegal drug use than there is with the opposite.

It.s 4.3 GB, or 4 GiB, using standards-based
nomenclature.
"less electrons ... leads to ... less current"
unless the electrons go around twice!
Actually, I love it. It's by being wrong that I learn to be correct. I won't make that lexical
error again.

I'm guessing you'll get a negative number.
Lots of people with phones refuse to comply with
the census.
If you saw all the dust inside my case, you'd understand why a vacuum cleaner has its own charms.
No, Martha Stewart went to prison for talking to regulators. She was convicted of making materially false statements to SEC agents.
Let this be a lesson to anyone considering cooperating with federal agents.

And the usual reason is that you offended someone who had the power to order your arrest.

What do you find lacking in KDevelop, Eclipse?
they pay people to haul it away, man.
