No. I have no clue what you mean by "all the staples of the genre" that The Walking Dead, Clone and superhero comics all share--and by your implications, presumable also share with Sandman, Lucifer and others. A medium is means of presentation. Comics is a medium, as is film, books, music, video games. Superhero is a genre, which, like any genre, can be presented in a variety of media. Superhero genre has been done not only in comics, but also in film, video games, and even (admittedly rarely) in books.
You shouldn't be so dismissive of an entire genre.
Comics isn't a genre. "Superhero" is a genre. Comics is a *medium* (cue joke about being "neither rare nor well-done."). Comics is way of presenting content, like TV, or books, or video games. It is not the content itself.
Taking peoples temps is only a very marginal step in protecting the public.
On the contrary, taking people's temps is a very effective step in protecting the public.
Since the gestation period of Ebola is so long it does relatively little to keep people out of the country that are infected.
As seen in the case of Mr. Duncan, true. But when you don't have a fever, Ebola isn't contagious. At all. None of the people on Mr. Duncan's flight here need to be checked or isolated, because he couldn't have infected them.
Now you have to find everyone else who was on the plane and monitor them for symptoms
And, dear God, that's impossible. There is after, no list of everyone who was on that plane. No, no such records of such information exist...
because some are now infected too.
No. Ebola is not very easy to transmit. The passengers of the plane are at risk, and need to be located, interviewed, and isolated as appropriate (Ebola does not spread via air; not everyone on the plane will need to be isolated), but it's entirely possible that none of them will in fact be infected.
The situation in the American South is totally different though, right?
Nice rhetorical scoring, but, yes, it *is* totally different. Comparing the poverty, lack of trust in government workers and dysfunctional healthcare system in the US South to those factors in Africa is like comparing the neighborhood pool to Lake Erie.
"politic" meaning roughly in the original Greek "To shout down"
Cute, but not true. The original word is polis (I was going to be fancy and do it Greek letters, but then I realized I'd never get them intact into Slashdot's broken system) meaning city.
Nope. Sections/Paragraphs still start in column 8, columns 1-6 are ignored, 7 is used for comment characters and on some systems for condtionally compiled code, and 72 is the end of the line.
Not in any modern COBOL. A free form option has been required in the standard since COBOL 2002.
There are reasons why we still have human beings flying planes.
Generally speaking, we *don't* have human beings flying planes. Autopilots do it. We still have human beings sitting in cockpits because of a) liability paranoia and b) unions.
When I was growing up, my relatives had a washer and dryer, but when they broke they went back to having the in house staff wash clothes on the outdoor basin and hang out to dry.
Must be nice, having a home with "in house staff."
If you're *really* unlucky, they'll send a Troubleshooter team. They'll find your trouble, and then shoot it. Which sucks, if they decide *you're* the trouble...
His main complaints about Ruby seem to be that C programmers find it hard to use (because C is at the forefront of innovative computer languages, you know), and that Twitter has stopped using it (oh noes!).
I keep hearing that [you want **EL], but why? I've seen Ubuntu work perfectly well in enterprise. It's not my distro of choice, but then neither is Redhat.
Mostly because that is only thing the commercial software you're using officially supports.

There's one big one going the other way, though: Ebola isn't infectious when who don't have any easily observed symptoms. AIDS is.
Covering the beats of the four co-workers who were let go, mostly.
About two hours. Duh.
That's how they find out if you're made of wood.
World Net Daily. Yep. "WND Exclusive!" In other words, "Everybody else saw this for the bullshit it is!"

Why not? It's not like making a horde of sock puppeet accounts is a terribly difficult thing for one person to do.

"The Kano"?
Well, it'd be appropriate to have a language named for an 80s cartoon character when the system is named for a 90s video game character...
Exactly. In fact, Puppet is why I'm learning Ruby, as we are doing Puppet-based deployment these days.

Because a site like that would drive down prices, thus merchants have no interest in listing their stuff on such a site.
It's not an unreasonable guess. Very, very often a move into a new residence is because more space is needed for a new arrival.
Yep, all you need is the agreement of the union's designated representative. That should be easy enough, right?
It's the first Nobel for a Blue Light Special!
