Not true. There's a fantastic cockpit video of a pilot rendered unconscious through high-G, where the onboard computer determines a crash will happen and maneuvers out of the situation (upwards). Yes, it's not an airline, but it's a good example of a time where reverting to full-automatic saved at least one life.
Ummm... that thing about Disney measles. Not sure who's telling you what, but you might want to check the CDC's report on it. Unless (of course) you think they're in in "the conspiracy" too.
Thanks for the second article/link, it really helps this sort of discussion.
As you've bothered to cite it I dare say you've read it though and agree with it. The last paragraph was particularly helpful. It starts with:
"Given the effectiveness of the MMR vaccine in eliminating both measles and rubella, and the highly infectious nature of these diseases, high vaccination coverage is essential. The diseases that the vaccines are preventing are not benign and vaccination can eliminate many of the serious sequelae of these infections"
Or rather, just copy the exam conditions in the UK. No watches, no devices at all other than the prescribed calculator, and from what I understand you must even be willing to show the memory of this... Also, clear pencil cases, clear water bottles.
I don't yet, although when playing with VMs it might be helpful. it helps I'm using Linux only and I'm not bad at reducing memory footprint. It's certainly a problem for some academics/developers playing with large chunks of data.
Combine the two, such as when you need to run a Windows only application in a VM (ArcGIS springs to mind) and *that* is used to look at a large dataset... 16GB can feel awfully restrictive.
Niche to Apple perhaps, but there are an awful lot of h/w manufacturers very happy to go way above 16GB RAM.
I first read "An Introduction to Elvish" (http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/An_Introduction_to_Elvish) some twenty years ago, and I was astonished to learn the detail behind Tolkein's language work, in particular the history of the language, and the theory behind its evolution. When inventing a language, how much do you consider its development - not as its creator, but as a person observing its changes throughout time?
I was a little unexcited by (although interested in) the article, even by the general speedups until I got to the part about VM replication. This really makes an enormous difference.
ZFS licensing has kept this as a grey area for me, so I I've largely kept away from deployment (save for an emergency FreeNAS box I needed in a hurry), but I'd clearly benefit from looking here again. Thanks for the reminder.
Oh, I also appreciate the rsync.net advertisement. Good guys, good service;-)
Umm... that nugget of strangeness (cows/kittens etc) was added today, by IP 218.17.240.71, with no citation. Note this is that IP's first Wikipedia edit. Not really what I'd call reliable.
I think there might be other reasons for young people moving away. Their narrow-minded elders, a town council willing to be swayed by nonsensical arguments, the simple pure idiocy that seems to prevail. The people who stay are happy with the situation (or just can't get out).
But too many people forget a large number of journeys need to be made by vans - workmen with tools, deliveries and so on. All something public transport can't really help much with.
I'm tired of the total acceptance of drug taking in the higher echelons of society. The little jokes in the media world about powdering your nose, about the use of Bolivian Marching Powder to help get through deadlines.
These are drugs, no matter how wealthy or powerful you are, and using these drugs helps criminals.
As a (surprisedly) happy Surface user, it seems strange that Apple aren't trying to regain initiative here. The Surface is really a good beast, it works well as a tablet and a desktop replacement (for standard light Office apps, some games and some more demading programs). It gives me a good touch keyboard for sshing into my systems, and has a USB interface for storage, keyboard, mouse. These are all things that the iPad failed to do.
OpenBSD dees time-based versioning. Every six months, the version number increments by 0.1 - there's a new release every May 1st and Nov 1st. The change in major version number means nothing other than it's gone from x.9 to (x+1).0
Well, not exactly. I've not yet had an electricity meter outside my house, and only one of my gas meters has been so far.
The big advantage of going Smart Meter (from the crim's POV) is that you'll be able to script this. Just imagine having a botnet that's able to tell you which addresses in a given town are vacant, and when.
A bigger oops? That the article's wrong about the dates in the first place.

There's a bizarre train of AC posts asserting that anyone who's not virulently anti-Muslim is a communist. This is very odd, and can't be the product of a well-informed healthy mind.
As it happens, I am not a communist. I also do not subscribe to your opinion that the Quoran (is the the "Book of Hate" you mention?) explicitly promotes "the evil stuff" you've noticed that some Muslims are committing. These groups are not actually liked, admired or even approved of by all Muslims across the world, but there are doubtless many who do, and these are the ones you choose to see. You can feel free to pick and choose your facts to suit your worldview, but I need to stand up and say I don't agree with you.
I had been out of work for a while, and was at an unemployment "get into work" workshop, and one of the chaps spotted a local paper article mentioning an internet cafe opening in that town, and he knew I wanted to work in computing (I'd self-trained and then properly trained in C programming). I typed and sent a letter (WordPerfect 5.1, thank you very much), and the owner asked to meet me. So we met, and even though he'd already appointed a member of IT staff he liked the look of me and offered me a job as well. Apparently the fact I wore a beard was a deciding factor as he believed it was the right sort of look for an internet cafe....
Anyway, the owner (an interesting/odd chap... but I digress) arranged for Demon Internet to deal with a lot of the initial setup, including the local mail/web server. This ran Slackware (I believe, but I really don't know the version), and it's there I started to use Linux. I didn't do that much on it, merely hope it worked, and maintained the website and user accounts.
It was this experience / CV info that got me a proper IT job looking after WinNT, Solaris and all sorts of user-stuff, and I've moved further and further into the world of Linux with each new role.
I love Linux, it's great.

That RAM limitation really has been an issue for some people. That we can now go to 32GB on DDR4 will makean enormous difference.
