Having been using Linux since I've started my current job position, I've not been pleased with having to often work with yum to get only dependencies for applications, then resort to typical compiling procedure for the actual applications - which, btw, is a new experience each time since so far no two applications have the same methodology for compiling. God forbid that I ever decide to want to uninstall any of them in the future. Then I would have to find where all the files are and manually delete them because - again - no two applications compile in the same way, and often leave you hanging without a make uninstall or any documentation where they slap all their junk at.
I've always wanted to chalk it up as just merely being relatively inexperienced with Linux when I've been dealing with Windows most of my life. But when I could find no other alternative to perform tasks like this in a Linux environment that would otherwise be simplified in Windows, I've realized that this is just standard protocol for using Linux, and that I simply have to suck it up and deal with how it runs.
While I've always wanted so much to enjoy my experience with Linux, as I see it has extraordinarily great potential to be a comfortable OS environment, it unfortunately falls short on doing that because of two principles:
Linux is a double-edged sword in that it never assumes for you, ever. It never guesses what you want it to do, and therefore is attractive to certain individuals because it gives them the freedom to adjust Linux to however they please, which is wonderful. However, it also makes simple tasks a chore when attempting to accomplish otherwise small tasks. When you want to install an application, you usually must provide it with a copious amount of mandatory arguments on how it should be installed. When you perform any function with Linux, you must be exactly specific on how you want it to take place. You are given the freedom of choice on a plethora of variables for all your activities, but you're also typically forced to supply most if not all of them in whatever you do. Batch scripting helps greatly with this, but even writing such scripts feels like I'm performing an ugly workaround.
Recall, recall, recall. With Linux having such a passion for CLI, you are forced to memorize odd and many times unnecessarily convoluted acronyms abbreviated jargon to type commands to navigate and perform various tasks in the Linux environment. Fortunately for much of it there are man pages, but unless you got everything you need to know down pat you have to constantly refer to them, which becomes tedious and monotonous. I'm a less fortunate soul who's brain absolutely loathes anything to do with the word "recall" yet can perform retrieval and recollection with wonderful efficiency, hence making GUI far more comfortable. Yet CLI is like an endless fill-in-the-blank exam, where there are no cues nor clues, just a blinking caret that constantly begs for a command that you can't remember every letter of the syntax for. I loved CLI for the nostalgia back in the day, but it is often threatening to me now, especially when I can compare it to robust GUIs in Windows that provide nearly if not all the same options.
Linux - simply put - has an enormous learning curve, and I admire that. I play Eve Online and I train myself on kernel debugging, so I'm well aware of steep and seemingly endless hikes to the top of awareness for something. Yet while in Eve or kernel debugging I have the joy of partaking in the fruits of such monumental endeavors, Linux just feels like I'm learning to get around on my computer all over again, which proves unnecessary when I am already well versed in an OS environment that can do just about anything Linux can nowadays.
So moral is: grow up with Linux, stick with Linux. Grow up with Windows, stick with Windows.
...but the psychological question of "can you lock 5 people in a single-wide trailer for 2 years and expect them to not go completely bat shit insane?" is a valid one.
Aren't there already scenarios like this with those in military service in nuclear subs?
A lot of confusion in here has to do with people and determining 'taste' or 'approach' of music, which of course are relative. What the article is describing is music utilizing binaural beats as a method for causing relaxation. I personally think binaural beats is one of those cases where it's claimed to do far more than its originally discovered effect, but there are no doubts that this - and music in general - have the capacity to stimulate an individual beyond a superficial and emotional level. Binaural beats is just merely focusing on sound and its ability to do such, which is no different to the therapeutic capabilities of just about any other sensation.
Even this statement is kind of a misnomer. The 'cash-only' shop relied on PLEX being turned into another more granular currency, and since people could acquire PLEX through ingame ISK, they could purchase clothing without paying a real dime. Plus it was all optional and vanity so people were disappointed but not really angry, at least not to this specific case.
What got them really distressed was that the past couple expansions have delivered almost nothing satisfactory for gameplay and instead offered vanity junk like this. The trend got the community very peeved off, and getting insider quotes about adding game-changing items to the store (which was taken outta context) amongst other leaked info ended up being the proverbial straw to the camel's back. The direction was neglecting EVE and using it as an experimental testbed for Dust and WoD, so you can imagine it was just a progressively aggravated situation until something got people to snap.
Mammaries are capable of producing milk as soon as a child is born. It's been known of cases where an infant's nipples has leaked milk.
Breast milk production can be induced through certain supplements and medication that increases hormones, and they can be manually induced to start producing milk. Back in the old day there was such a thing as milk maids midwives who never bore their own children yet were well capable of producing breast milk, all of which was made possible by performing one or more of what has been aforementioned.
All of this can happen because the breasts operate on a supply-and-demand basis. If the body detects there is a need to produce milk, it will produce the amount of milk to supply the demand, even to activating itself from an otherwise inactive state. Even a man's chest can produce milk when induced and given hormone supplements, as they have the same tissues, glands and whatnot that women have.
I remember even back working in fast food the owner of the company did his tour of the restaurants and came to ours. One of our managers casually mentioned the worthless state our 80's cash registers were in and requested new ones several times but to no avail. The owner's response? "Spray it."
Always have to work where corporations take the reactive approach to IT rather than preventive. It only seems like the upper echelons of the IT department harbor any reliability through security and other various upgrade paths. The typical employee notices this and will try to bring a bit of incentive by forcing the company to react based on their upgrade methodology.
I'm glad that I'm working in a position now that allows me to implement a more accommodating method for upgrades to the research division I work for by being able to work directly with the boss to fund improvements I purchase for them. They're happy that they don't have to wait forever for an upgrade, and I'm happy that I don't have to upgrade because I'm in a condition where I am forced to do so.
I concur. Our cancer research division doesn't have a cluster computer that can generate the sample data we have in some of our larger projects, so we would resort to using Internet2 to connect to Uni. of AZ's supercomputer cross country from our NC location. There's little to no caching involved: The throughput is only limited by the speed of the supercomputer (which can process several GBps in certain circumstances).
Being in one of the largest hospitals in the US with a cancer research division comprised entirely of Chinese people, I must say I'm a bit surprised at the news.
Friend of mine is a Clearwire customer that's been involved in the lawsuits pushed against the company. He stated one of their major faults isn't just the throttling, but the fact that they clandestinely altered their policy and service agreement on their website regarding it. No notification of change was given to the customers, as well as surreptitiously placing the altered statements deep in their website (several clicks to reach).
This is all a shame, though. I'm a networking junkie that enjoys wireless especially, so I have been enticed to WiMax popping up - notably with Clearwire. Shame that it'll leave a big ole blemish in WiMax in general.
How the article gives somewhat 'honorable mention' to the innovative techs like the 3d camcorder and yet the main presentation ends up being a mishmash of iphone/ipad successors.
It's not, I'm implying however that the amount of restrictions they place on it surmount to paralyzing but not completely killing the sport. For example, one of the benefits of FPV is the capability of flying at a distance of several miles, depending on the quality of the RC. Yet regulations require it to be at visible range from you or your partner, and it must be done in areas designated as permissible for flying, which do not extend far. It's one of the primary reasons why the guy who makes these FPV videos makes a fuss about the legality of it, because in many other countries like Brazil there are little to no restrictions and therefore the sport is far more prominent.
FPV (First Person View) RC flying has been starting to become trendy in the past few years and this isn't very different from what has been done in the past. There have been flights that have extended at further ranges with more daring stunts in public areas. Though, what is special about this is particular video is it was shot in the US, which makes FPV practically illegal with the amount of restrictions they place on it. It's the equivalent of permitting one to carry a firearm as long as long as it's bright orange, muzzle-loaded. has "REAL GUN" printed on the sides, shoots blanks and can only be aimed at certified targets in licensed shooting ranges. Anyways, I'd highly recommend anyone to go and take a gander at certain videos on youtube with the name "FPV" and discover a lot on what this awesome hobby has to deliver.

You're right. It should be measured in leagues, as in, "20,000 leagues under the sea."

It's possible, albeit transitory. You can do it either the easy way, or if you wanna have fun doing it, the hard way.
