Well, I am not an expert on the topic but there are a few things you might want to consider before you get all overexcited on that... First, there are hardly any infections outside the Arab-world. (my guess is that it just takes a look at the keyboard driver in use) Going by your username you're not an Arab guy. Second, the virus seems to be activated by some kind of a human operator, and well... you are probably not important enough (read: high level nuke scientist or something) Third, this thing is in the wild since 2010, maybe even as early as 2007, and you didnt get infected in all the updates since then (I assume), or it is to late anyway. Fourth, you use Windows and then ask if you might catch a virus? Seriously? Fifth, to be absolutely safe: format your HD a couple of times, get OpenBSD on it with a strong root password (at least 128 characters), get the battery out and pack the thing in a lead box with walls at least 5 inch thick, fill the rest of the box with epoxy and bury the whole thing on a depth of at least 10 feet... on Pluto...
...and it is educational as well... Windhose is just slow and not educational. So, sorry dude, I for one will not transgress to the closedsourced MS stuff.
But than again, those rodents are (as we all know) mice, and they are the single most intelligent species on earth. If all goes well Federico Mena's scull will be opened by Frankie and Benjy to find out what the question actually is!
That is one option. There are hundreds more, including using synaptic or apt to download and install kde (assuming that you already use 'regular' ubuntu). Or on the other end of the spectrum you can also create a linux-from-scratch 'distro' and compile the whole packet. That makes for days on end filled with joy and fun, and it is very educational as well!
Correct. I once had a colleague and she was carrying the whole vegan stuff rather far. She told me exactly this, it was (ihho) unimportant what animal was killed, it was bad. Me> Any animal? She> Yeah, any animal. Me> But you come to work by bus right? She> Yes, that is better for <insert long tedious boring co2/global warming story here>... Me> Have you seen all the little bug-corpses on the grill? Is that really what is in your dictionary as cool? It is in mine as bug-holocaust. From that day on she went by bicycle. Making a 15 minute bustrip into an hour long bicycle ride:-D I just love those crazy women!
Not only that, there is even a different result calculated per country. The main goal of an IQ test is to determine whether subject is higher or lower in points than the average. For every group there is a bellcurve set up, and the vast majority is in the 100's, if not, than the scores are changed to make it so. Therefore someone scoring 90 in the US, tested in France might come out as 110 or the other way around. (insert jokes here). Also over time the test is subjected to regular validity audits.
I mean, this is a GREAT find, but we need drugs to be designed, tested and deployed. So, when is this usable? in say 30 years? I sure hope there is some way that cancer is gone in a couple of years, and then live slightly longer.
It remains mandatory and as of the whole of the post, it is intended humoristic. A clue to that is the so-called 'smiley', a combination of a colon, a dash and a bracket at the end of the sentence. But, you're right, it's not applicable to individual components. When these are made into a contraption capable of processing however, I will make this remark again.:-)
I am not a science major either, but I thought that those PHAs are not necessarily in the same orbit 'surface' some even have a 90° angle on our orbit around sol so it might hit from straight above. Bang in the middle of the north pole. (or south for that matter)
I was thinking the same... It all sounds very Armageddonish but... 70% of the worlds surface is water. Since there is an equal chance where space can lay a brick on the planet, there are 1410 PHAs left to worry about (30% of 4700). Then the population density is about 50 people per km2 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_density#Human_population_density ) so that you end up with only a handful PHAs. And then there is a good chance that those will not even reach the planet because they wondered off somewhere. I am not worried at all. 4700PHAs? Pffffffffffffffft dont make me laugh!
I am not on any bandwagon. The above was just reasoning in a (I think) logical line. Of course the FDA has it's drawbacks and so does the NHF or any other system like it. Because it is a system. No system is without its errors. I have some acquaintances that are physicians of some sort and this is the sort of line of thought I usually hear. So I thought that my answer would be sufficiently on-topic to answer the Parent.
A new procedure is a (usually) physical procedure on 1 single person who is consenting. If it goes wrong only 1 person is harmed (or not improving at least) A new drug is something (bio)chemical of which the long term implications are more difficult to oversee. Aspirin is with us now since 1860 or so and still we find out new benefits and drawbacks of it. Further still, it is to be given as a treatment to a much larger set of individuals, so the potential harm done is therefore greater and thus needs more and rigorous testing before it can be deployed. So I think (although I am not at all a medic) that therefore the consent of only the patient is enough if the applicable law's and Hipocratic oath is not broken in such matters.
If someone creates a little program that is a beauty in its language, simplicity and does not have a single bad aspect, but no one will use it because it is useless... It is still a beauty in its language, simplicity and does not have a single bad aspect. There, that is what I meant. The concept and the technicalities are just good. Kudo/cudo's (whatever is preferred) for that.
And quite the opposite for anyone who have a lot of bitcoins on a disk on a system that is on-line and that is open for all to rob!
...That the concept of Bitcoins, nor the encryption behind it, nor anything like that is being breached. It's always some kind of security breach that allows malicious folk to get the coins themselves. Or people that get their coins stolen from a leaky windhose box. Something like that. So that is cudo`s for Bitcoin huh? I mean, I never heard some story like "hackers have found a way to create Bitcoins without all the hassle (and made it into a nice gui-ed program)" Enter the amount you wish, hit 'generate' and within 2 seconds your bitcoins are ready to be used. It is a solid piece of work isn't it?
>> What is somewhat true is that the Dutch watch less TV, but they do other things around the house too.
True... just look at the TV shows here in the Netherlands... rubbish... all of them... The last nice one was aired in 1956... The English have QI (Quite Interesting) which is a great show, and of course Top Gear which is also of quite a decent level. And of course the BBC broadcasts plenty of high quality documentary's and comedy shows. The Americans have HBO (Eastbound and Down, Game of thrones) and TBBT. Both of them have shows that I am not interested in at all, but never the less, there is some good shit going on there. Here not so much.
But I have to get of now, I have to eat at a friends place and then hit for the bar... It's Friday night you know!!!:-)
Well, as I was told: Coffeeshop (one word) is a place where one can buy and use cannabis products, a coffee shop (two words) is a place where coffee is sold. A bar needs a licence to sell alcohol, and that licence can be revoked if anything else is sold there. Coffee shops were already around in 1968, when the first coffeeshop opened. So the coffeeshop was at first a place where one could buy a cup of coffee (like at *bucks) and some "other products" without the owner having to worry about his licence that might be revoked. He might get punished put at least his main source of income will not be in jeopardy. Actually cannabis is an illegal substance in the Netherlands, which is tolerated, but not legal. But that is a different story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_coffee_shop
For example, it took me about 10 hours of non-stop research what that little square, with an even smaller diagonal square and 12M was doing on my shampoo. It turned out to be a "PAO" sign. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period-after-opening_symbol> (wikipedia) So, if there is no reference to a symbol it is just that... a question-mark-invoking doodle.
Well... if they are clickable... or have a proper tag... Shouldn't be much of a problem. Besides only 7% of the people have that, which means that 93% of the population that earlier couldn't make squash out of legalities, now can! The glass is 50% full you see!:-)
This is something that was needed for a looooooooong time. Bravo! A simple bunch of icons that are easy to understand. Just keep it like this, dont make any more, that will just dazzle people. Keep it simple and uniform, and with a good reference on-line so that it is easy to retrieve what something means.
P.S. EU, have a look at this! This is how things should be done icon-wise...
