This might help for now, but if - like it seems - linux is getting more widely used, it will get it's fair share of malware too, well there already is a bunch. What the hospitals need to do is not trust that the operating system is completely secure, but secure their systems independent of the OS used. Come on, allowing that level of general internet access from a computer that handles patient information? Why not put the info on an USB stick and just forget it somewhere.
Well, guess I have to walk 3 joules of distance to the bar think about this over two ohms of beer. After that I can probably talk about it for a good two meters of time.
Can't people even keep power, voltage and energy straight? It's not rocket surgery.
Unfortunately, I quite being a girl years ago. But, I still consider myself attractive.
Uhm, you quite being a girl? So you're somewhere between genders? You know, this might actually be the reason you make men uncomfortable and stupid. Not that I condemn this in any way, to each their own:)
If you are about to post anything about any of the issues below, please at least read the Wiki page on SBSP first. Doing so will save a lot of electrons.
That is actually a good suggestion. When have the "news" aricles become so woefully dumbed down that reading the headline gives just as much info as TFA. So I guess it's time to start to RTFW *sigh*.
I hardly use any download 'services' because it's just too much of a hassle for me. First you have to find the files you want. Then you have to click through a whole lot of garbage, and after much downloading and waiting and clicking you find that you have downloaded the Spanish version without subtitles. Or something equally unsatisfying. I'd rather pay for the stuff than go through all that. And I guess more and more people think like that. P2P is a victim of its (not it's!) own success. More and more garbage is put on the web, making it too hard to find the good stuff.
Oh, well, I just bought a Stargate Season 2 as DVDs, except it didn't have english audio as promised, just french, italian and spanish. Please, I would love to pay for contect if there was any other way to buy it.
This is the one reason I actually was hopeful for the piratebay purchase. It just *might* have been a place where I could legally get what I want in the format I want.
Well, it seems to be an obscure macro error, which only revealed itself to be a bug when digging deeper. So, since there isn't a dedicated team reading through ALL the code lines carefully thinking about the implications in the code, these things just happen. I bet there are even older bugs in the kernel code that just haven't been found.
For most non-simulator games, I'd stick with mouse and keyboard any day! Try to sniping someone in the head in a fast-paced game with a traditional controller without any auto aims, and then talk about "precision".
I completely agree. First of all, if you're a sole coder on the project, you probably know it and have some interest in it. I myself have been fiddling with open source coding. Since I do it on my free time I can find it really hard to start doing it, most of the times it is because I really don't have the whole picture planned and I don't know where to start or what to do, even if I know what should be done. So I recommend
Look at the project. What needs to be done on the large scale. Do you have it planned, and is your mind wrapped around it? Are you clear about the parts that need to be done? Sometimes all it takes is to sit down 5 mins with a paper, plan a thing, and go "oh! of course! that's actually pretty simple, what if I try this..", and the next thing you notice that is that it's 2AM.
Don't be afraid of peripheral tasks. Sometimes you (well at least I) have to do a lot of code related tasks to continue the project. Then it also might seem like nothing is progressing. But when it's done you might have come much furhter than you think.
Even if it doesn't feel like it, just take a small piece you need to work on, and start nibbling away. Easy or hard, as long at it can be finished without depending on a lot of other tasks, that just distracts you. Finish that task. Take the next one. repeat. This way I usually get my motivation back in no time.
But Stephen Hawking would probably be correct though, psychology is just applied physics (via a few steps) after all. Now I'd like to hear what a real mathematician would have to say about it.
The point is, maybe the US are unable to build profitable nuclear power, but that doesn't make nuclear power unprofitable.
Except that even a Freemarket think tank and business magazines say that even China, France, India, and Russis doesn't have profitable nuclear power plants. Or do you not consider the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, or Fortune reputable.
Well what that article mainly states is that the capital costs are rising. While this might affect nuclear power plants more than many other energy production methods, the current economic situation probably corrects some of this. But anyway, capital costs aren't bound to one specific energy production type, all of them are affected.
The same stands for uranium mining. Just because the US has one/some mines that have issues,
And what of other nations? The US isn't the only nation that has had problems with uranium mining. Canada has had problems, so has Austrslia.
I'm not saying that uranium mines can't be a problem. Any mines can have huge ecological impact. However it can't be generalized to all of them.
I dug out the following page about nuclear power in Finland.
I have one question and one problem. The question is is nuclear power profitable in Finland without government subsidies? And the problem is is that that webpage is on the industry's website and is therefor biased. Sure, the links I provided are to websites that are biased as well, but they are biased to the free market and business. If there were money to be made in nuclear power, without government subsidies, they're be at the head of the line in support of nuclear power.
Uhm nuclear power is _not_ subsidised in Finland, so please, welcome to the ranks:).
There may be enough wind in the world to supply our need 40 times over, but is the cost of tapping the energy source competitive with the cost of coal, gas, or nuclear power?
All of this get subsidies, as well as pass costs to others. Coal slurry spills happen all too frequently. Mountain top removal contaminates a lot of land. As does uranium mining. Without government subsidies nuclear power isn't even profitable. Though natural gas emits a lot less CO2 than coal when burned it releases a lot more methane, which is more than 20 tymes as potent a greenhouse gas as CO2. Then it needs pipelines to deliver it.
Well, actually, just because those two articles found negative aspects of nuclear power price, I dug out the following page about nuclear power in Finland. Here the price of nuclear power was EUR 2.37 c/kWh, when the closest second one, coal was 2.81 c/kWh. Wind power was somewhere around 5 c/kWh. The point is, maybe the US are unable to build profitable nuclear power, but that doesn't make nuclear power unprofitable.
The same stands for uranium mining. Just because the US has one/some mines that have issues, is no reason to condemn uranium mining in general, at least with modern methods.
..but I kind of expect this from the Chinese government already. I also doubt it stops at blocking IP addesses. It'll be interesting to hear what people really find the sofware doing.
And in addition to this, with those graphics, you can't prove that the woman is an adult. Some reality challenged judge could decide that she's a minor, and all players, well, both players of the game would be in trouble.
I think those who commit the crime should pay. If you'd tax the child porn, you'd even get a nice feedback loop. When your anti-childporn measures (uhm.. discount coupons to stores that sell childrens clothes?) are working well enough, your funds get cut, If it picks up again, boom! Automatic funding!

They mean the Descolada! It's starting! There will be dead people, and live pigs all over the place.

Does anyone else giggle like a small girl, think "ASS CAP" and imagine a bunch of executive buttplugs sitting in a meeting?
Well, I dont know how it's done, but from the press release..
The 7.6 W standard type and the 5.5 W compact type LED bulbs are dimmable from 10 percent to 100 percent.

The price for my country was going to be twice that in the US, let alone the UK.
The price for your country was going to be 400$? Are you a belgian?

So the population of USA is 25 million? Damn, that swine flu is worse than I thought.
