Oh man that was one change that stood out for me. I like having that address bar so I can just type in an URL and Firefox will automatically open up for me. It's used all the time. I currently have it as a stand-alone toolbar but if it is gone after a reboot, it's pointless.
For instance, grapefruit magnifies the power of a great deal of medicine. It is quite possible for half the dosage with grapefruit to be as good as a full dose without.
While yes, as you as and as nephew post (above) explains, grapefruit and its juice potentiates the effects of some medicines, what you propose in your second sentence is dangerous. Medicine dosages are quantified, milligrams, one tablet, half a tablet for example and there is an expected result. Grapefruit and its juice, however, is not quite so easy to quantify a serving and expect consistent results for example, size of the grapefruit/serving of juice, what type fo grape fruit, variability in the crop. So while soem people might think that taking grapefruit could reduce their dosage of medicine, which they think is a good thing, the results can be variable and disastrous.
I am a pharmacist in New Zealand. It is a criminal offence to carry prescription medicines without appropriate labelling. At a bare minimum, labelling contains the folling piece of information: quantity of dispensed medicine name of the medicine strength of medicine instructions: how to take it, how many to take and how frequently name of the patient
Those pill organisers you can purchase really are not adequate and they encourage patients to redispense medicines which is a bad thing because there is no quality control. Many of these product do not make any provision for labelling either. They do, however give patients a degree of independance and control over their medicine.
Blister packs from the pharmacy are nasty things to fill but they meet the legal container and labelling requirements.
It's like this, in the beginning, discovering medicines was almost like finding fruit at the foot of a tree. When all the fruit dried up the companies had to start kocking them off the trees with sticks. That's not as easy to get the fruit, ass before but they get the fruit. But now that they can't get any more off the tree with the stick, they have to get a ladder and climb deep into the tree.
Imagine this as the perfect bomb: taking OUT or comproMISING structural members of any building, fortification, dam, tower, transmission/reception site, etc. If used on skyscrapers, the toll worldwide would be, well, ummm, "mind-bending". Who the hell would want to go to work in Chrysler Building, or Petronas or Taipei 101 KNOWING that whole floors are collapsing in for no outward (visible/believable) reason. Oh, the reason would definitely be from outside (assuming the teleporter is not transported into the building...)
And, no, I didn't read this in any books. I've been for decades wondering why in Star Trek we've NEVER seen the Federation or non-Fed use of the teleportation technology to undermine the target ships.
They used this in Martian Successor Nadesico, Yuirko called it the BOSON CANNON. I have forgotten the name of the episode but it's the one where she orders the ship to switch off all power so the enemy could not track the Nadesico. She called it a game of 'fishing'.
Witnesses, in general, can not give evidence beyond what they can ascertain from their five senses, i.e. opinions generally can not be accepted. Expert witnesses can give an opinion which must be supported by their knowledge in the field. Generally you need to have specialist knowledge, usually technical, and be a recognised authority or qualification in the relevant field of evidence in question (so that excludes astrologists).
Slashdotters love an analogy but here's my perspective from my experience.
Safari is faster, it's like going to the supermarket, grabbing stuff off the shelf from the grocery list not caring what brand you buy, if you forget anything, or how it's organised in your cart. Watermelon on top of your potato chips and eggs?? Got meat dripping onto your girlfriend's box of tampons? Big deal! No wonder Safari is faster!
IE and Firefox care a lot more, albeit they both do things differently. Everything is placed nicely in the cart, cleaning chemicals kept away from the food, fragile items kept on top while heavier items are down the bottom, you choose the brands you want/don't mind. This take a bit more time, but not much more.
Theresa Gattung, the boss of Telecom recently announced her resignation
ADSL2+ will be rolled out next month in the district of Pakuranga; this is the residence of Opposition Shadow Minister of Communications, Maurice Williamson
Go Large was a DSL plan where for $50/month, you would have download speeds as fast as your line can handle and an unlimited monthly data allowance, however if users consistently exceeded x M/GB between y and z hours, (I forget the numbers as I was not a customer of the plan), then Telecom would request that you move to another plan which would make them more money (presumably).
Mrs Premise: Busy!? I just spent four hours burying the cat. Mrs Conclusion: Four hours to bury the cat? Mrs Premise: Yes, it wouldn't keep still, wriggling about, 'owling. Mrs Conclusion: Oh, it's not dead then? Mrs Premise: Oh no no, but it's not at all a well cat and as we're going away for a fortnight, I thought to better bury it just to be on the safe side.
You just have to make sure your 'dead man's switch' doesn't activate while you're on vacation. Just to contradict that, activating it might be a good thing so some people:D
Slashdot Mirror
I'm guesing it's someone who submitted a story and it got submitted.
This time it was not a cromulent word to use.
Those cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys will be happy to see fewer words in the English language.

yes I recall that and I have tagged this story as such
I actually WANT to learn short hand. Then people don't bother asking me for lecture notes.

Your search - "died in a slashdotting accident" - did not match any documents.
Ah, it was a myth all along!!

Here's a web documentary about money that I thought was good but worth the watch.
I think you hit that all on the head perfectly. Many people forget that Minmay is actually Chinese. BUT, who for Capt Gloval?

yeah some of those questions can take a bit of time to digest which makes answering a little tricky but it's spot on with the results...for me anyway

Scientist is a discipline of thinking, researcher is role. I would think the correct title would be scientific researcher.
Debate and flame.
