Thailand's wealth comes from exports. Without exports, it'd be nothing much. It's not about some bad outside world supposedly trying to change the Thailand's system. It's about your customers telling you to put up or shut up, in a roundabout way. Thailand is free to ignore it at its own peril, pretty much. They are participating in global trade, with it come both benefits and obligations. You're deluded if you think otherwise.
Greece, Italy and Spain were also offering everybody a chance in exactly the same way: offering crazy wages and benefits for little productivity. See where that went? Thailand is going there if a joe random hat seller can make $2k in profits. Unless you're just saying that your GF is in a very lucrative spot and sells high-end goods, which doesn't make her representative of what's going on then, does it? Just like a $100k/year NYC panhandler isn't representative of how most jobless have it.
Never mind the fact that no matter what the King has done, everyone should be free to "shit" on him. It's a basic freedom. You don't need to trade it off for the other greatness bestowed by royalty (supposedly, as you claim). One doesn't preclude the other. There are other relatively successful kingdoms out there where such freedoms exist, duh.
The second phase of the treatment, then, would be another virus that's engineered to detect whether a cell is infected, and blow it to pieces if it is. The engineering part is admittedly a bit hard:)
Wow, USD 1M per patient? I know that there are some costs to be recouped, but man, you could probably make it way cheaper by giving a grant to some university lab somewhere to make the damn thing. Grad students and some equipment are way cheaper than that, especially if there would be dozens of patients to treat.
Are you even reading the papers? Big business of all sort, with their execs earning multimillion dollar salaries, are almost always, it seems, involved in either big-scale wasting of money, or big-scale defrauding of someone -- pick from investors, clients, competitors,... There's uncalled paranoia, and then there's the sad fact that we have psychopaths running the corporate world and politics.
Sometimes when people say stupid shit, like ClickOnThis, they ask for a sanctimonious tone in reply. They didn't get enough of it at home, it'd seem. Not every comic is the same, and I agree with Suhas.
You must not be in the U.S., then, because there, school sports have relatively huge medical care and quality of life costs, compared to almost anywhere else in the civilized world. And they don't reduce obesity much. An anecdote: my 14 y.o. neighbor's daughter is extremely athletic, yet her weight is inching up and I'd think she'll be borderline overweight pretty soon.
I think that Boeing has simply regressed, like most big, legacy american corporations. Over time, they seem to be able to accomplish less and less, while taking more and more money to do it. If there was another Musk-style visionary to have a SpaceX-style operation, but making jets, they could probably capture the entire market in two decades...
I always think that computer games are like books: you fill in the blanks with your own imagination. I find that many people who complain like you do, turn out, once I get to know them, to be dullards. YMMV. Yes, of course the gameplay may be repetituous, but every FPS I've tried so far is like that. I still enjoy them.
Of course the man hours for prosecution would logjam the courts until the thermal death of the universe. We know that. The prosecutorial discretion is so that a prosecutor can't hide behind "but oh we had to prosecute or else". Sure Grand Juries overdo it, but prosecutors overdo it too. That's what I meant. The grandparent thought that just because there's a law on the books means that people should be prosecuted no matter what. My point was to show it normally should be far from that.
You seem to think that just because something is breaking the law, it should be punished to the fullest extent. Protips:
1. Most people break the law many times each day. The accumulated penalties for those crimes, in most any western country, even if you took the minimum sentences prescribed by law, would immediately put many a country's population behind bars for millenia or make them owe millions of dollars in fines. Mostly both. Just like that.
2. There's this thing called prosecutorial discretion. As in the prosecutor has full control over what cases they want to prosecute. Just like that.
3. Copyright violations, while a matter of criminal law in the U.S. and thus prosecutable ex officio, require participation of the injured parties. If no party claims that a copyright law violation took place, then there's nothing to prosecute. This is where copyright violations differ, from, say, murders. In an attempted murder, it doesn't matter all that much that the victim forgave the attacker and doesn't want them punished. The prosecutor is free to ignore that. In a copyright violation, the victim has pretty much full say in keeping the legal action going, and it's up to them whether it keeps going or stops. Same goes with regard to criminal trespass -- if the injured party says that there was no trespass, the prosecutor has no leg to stand on. Anything else is vigilante justice and amounts to harassment of the defendant. Just like that.
There's this common misconception that if there's a library function, you don't need to understand what it does. You need at least to have a clue about its algorithmic complexity, so that you won't end with O(N^2) implementations that plague a lot of corporate C code that deals with strings. Just because strlen and strdup or strcpy are library functions does not absolve you from knowing exactly what they do, and the fact that they are O(N). Sure if you need to sort an array you won't be coding the sort yourself, most of the time, but you need to know a bit about it.
Not rewriting the wheel does not mean that you don't need to know what's in the black box. Not rewriting the wheel means you're so good you could rewrite the wheel anytime, but you're not doing it because you know better. But you know exactly how your wheel is made, and you're confident in using it. A lot of library/framework code should be examined first before you actually use it. It makes for much better understanding in face of often lacking documentation. Gets rid of the oft-seen cargo cultisms.
Have him explain, in technical terms, how what samba provides isn't real. If by it not being real he means "not AD-based", then well, samba 4 is the answer he's looking for. Learn samba4, port ldap data (if you use ldap), start it on a test server (rename the domain to something else!), log in from various versions of windows, test, then deploy and be done. I'll be doing it in the coming weeks: migrating from samba3+ldap to samba4. The dreaded old HP printers are my only nightmare, their print drivers are broken and don't work properly even with windows servers:(
I mentioned 3 examples in the post your replied to. If your reading comprehension is that bad, you're useless, okay ? Geeze, what a horrible thing to say to a person. Untrue too.
I don't think I'm clear. If you're given the following problem description:
"Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”.
and can't actually write code for it, you're useless, whether as a coder or as a software engineer. I don't know how you can pretend otherwise, and how can you do any sort of stellar work. That's all I'm saying. I'm not expecting anyone to know the solution ahead of time, nor to be familiar with the name of the example. I'm giving a simple, self-contained problem. You'll be expected to deal with much bigger problems, if you can't handle such a simple one, you're not getting a job, it's that simple. I don't think you're arguing otherwise, I think you must be alluding to various self-serving programming puzzles that are under-defined and pretty much require you to know the answer beforehand. That's underhanded and unprofessional in my book. Fizzbuzz ain't it, though!

Are there no hard drive plants outside of Thailand?! I seem to recall at least two other plants in Europe.

Ever heard of Koch's postulates, AC?

Tell that to those who perished on Swissair's flight 111. There, the indications of a fire were ignored.

It goes the other way round. It means that the prosecutor can choose not to prosecute. That's what it's meant to be used for.

So there.
The lady's probably going to church every Sunday, too. Obviously she sleeps through the sermon and the readings.
Same level of authentication? I thought NTLMv2 is pretty darn good. The only thing you lose by not using Kerberos is single sign-on, I'd think.

What I meant was that if all you want is file sharing between Linux machines, using smbfs and samba is easier than nfs4+kerberos.
If you launch it from a terrestrial gun, the launch velocity hasn't got much to do with velocity out of the atmosphere.
And this is the post that should be ending the silly discussion prompted by the article...

It's also easier to set up than nfs4+kerberos!

It doesn't work the other way, though. You're not going to get any good programmers or software engineers who can't deal with a fizzbuzz. Sorry.
My brain is fucked all right. Must be good code :)
