During the 2003-04 Season, 153 flu-associated deaths in children were reported to CDC.
During the 2004-05 Season, 47 deaths in children were reported to CDC.

As of August 6, 2007, 68 deaths in children occurring during the 2006-07 season have been reported to CDC.
that randomly adds delay to each packet before rebroadcasting it...making it impossible to get a good bearing on the latency in the network once it's installed.
Apple DOES offer iTunes Plus.
Yes, it is sold at a premium price. However, for those concerned about DRM, it at least affords an alternative that is higher quality and DRM free.
Can't load a page, get a 0xc0000005 error, and the "Oh, Snap!" screen.
Reloading it doesn't help. I'm a local admin on the computer, but don't have access to the "Administrator" account.
Oh well.
It's different because those clauses may or may not be enforceable...but they give the companies on the initiating side of the EULA a method for suing the pants off any little guy who breaks EULA.
Unfortunately, at this point, the poster's door was knocked upon. He opened it & was given a new domicile, a bunch of money & a car for furthering the cause of Mother China.
Thing is, from what the submitter said, they're docking salaried workers as well.
THAT I find reprehensible. If you're hourly, you may have the opportunity to make up lost wages by working extra hours, overtime, etc. Salaried workers have no such recourse.
I *can* see requiring the use of a vacation/sick day for the day(s) taken. In fact, I think I'd expect that.
But all that being said, it would be a nice gesture - nice, but not required - for the company to show some compassion for those affected by the 'cane.
My company has an explicit statement in their handbook that if driving conditions / weather conditions are hazardous, to stay home...but at least report in with your supervisor.
Of course there are better arguments, but not a lot of them would be understood by Joe Six-pack who just hooked up his Brand X wireless cable router (FREE after rebate!) and doesn't feel much motivation to be the least bit careful.

What?! No second hand??
I found that number to be way low, as well, given the number of deaths attributed to seasonal flu on a yearly basis. However:

Oh, right...only since the last ice age.
I KNEW I shouldn't have eaten at Chipotle last night...

Nope - if the company can lock you into a contract, they will.
Ultimately it doesn't MATTER if your phone has been subsidized or not. Even though it should.
I think this will eventually reveal these companies for the skanky enterprises they really are.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of that...
wonder what they did with the extra ear, tho'.
That's great - right up until your machine bites the dust and you're STILL out the content that you legally and legitimately paid for.
sudo passwd root
At least I can then log in as root should I need to...
Sometimes sudo just doesn't cut it, I've found. It's rare, but it happens.
When I was looking at MIT (in the late 80s), the stupid asshats couldn't figure out how to use a projector to show us their promotional film.
Instilled real confidence.
but still no Duke Nukem Forever.
Silver tarnishes.
What happens to the resistance once silver is tarnished? (Not flamebait, I'm really asking!)

All good, but security tapes aren't normally kept for that long, really.

The internet? (No, I didn't RTFA)
Both parties are centrist.
True conservatism lies in a third party.

When I describe a color for my wife, she always corrects me, "That's not pink, that's peach!" or, "That's more of a seafoam green, Scott!"
Any man who is married & has gone paint shopping with his spouse knows exactly what I mean.
At least we now have a biological reason for our apparent color-blindness.
That's 30 degrees fahrenheit of DIFFERENCE, not an absolute temperature of 30 degrees fahrenheit.
Using your google conversion...
60F = 15.5555556C
30F = -1.11111111C
15.5555556 - (-1.11111111) = 16.6666667

3.28 * 3.28 * 3.28 = 35.28 cubic feet
35.28 cubic feet in gallons = 263.96 gallons
Since a pint's a pound the world around...
263.96 gallons = 2111.75 pints = 2111.75 pounds
(or for those google inclined,
"3.28 ft * 3.28 ft * 3.28 ft in pints"
Stick it to 'em, Big Blue!
SCO's actions, IMHO, have been absolutely abominable...I'm glad to see IBM fighting the bastards.
Not that I think it will bring the whole thing to a close, but....
