The most common placebo is antibiotics prescribed for viral infections.
It's becoming pretty uncommon for a physician to actually do this, no matter how many dorks show up for minor viral illnesses saying "Can we just TRY an antibiotic?" even though everyone knows they don't have a bacterial infection.
Physicians are well aware today of the issues with over-prescribing them and some lose patients over it, but it's pretty uncommon for a family practice doc to do this anymore.
The only interesting question here is whether this would be a controversy if it were happening in reverse - if the author was denying it to countries who are not taking in refugees.
It's a security concern for the institution itself. A prisoner using information from the outside to dig up dirt on others who are also incarcerated, planning smuggling operations, directing criminal enterprises on the outside, directing reprisals against the people who got them locked up in the first place... all these are legitimate things to monitor.
The prisons need to enable inmates to call only the numbers they've been authorized to call. Someone has to approve applications to enable telephone numbers. Someone needs to process the background information and telephone bills that are sent in to verify identities. Someone needs to manage the billing and payment aspects of all of this. Someone has to archive the recordings. etc etc. This operation is contracted out like anything else. The prison can't reasonably do this, nor should they be doing it.
Thank you, I meant to say metal and metal/polymer.
It's hard to imagine a 3D printed weapon standing up to tens of thousands of rounds of use, but maybe they are cheap enough that it wouldn't matter. Failure at a critical moment would certainly not be good though.
These things are going to be used in sandy, dusty, muddy, wet, frozen conditions, beaten up, run over by things, thrown out of helicopters. They have to last decades.
The German and American officer meet on the field. The German officer pulls out his Walther P38 and shoots the American. The American pulls out his 1911, kills the German, picks up the P38 as a souvenir, and limps off to the field hospital.
Aren't reliability and weight big concerns with the M9?
I'm not sure why they don't just switch to a Glock in.45. Cheap, durable, repairable, cost-effective, and very reliable.
The importance of the sidearm is decreasing in warfare, so if you're at the point where you need to use one, you'd probably rather have.45. Being able to carry more ammunition for a pistol doesn't seem like it would be the concern it once was.
It's also a major oversight to presume there are no risks to building a data center "out in the sticks". Every cable can be severed. Every mile from the rest of your operations is additional risk.
Building a brand new building is not practical for many businesses, and is not cost effective for most.
It's also not practical or cost effective to build a datacenter that is ONLY a datacenter. It usually makes more sense to have people working there, which means you need qualified tech workers who are willing to commute to wherever your data center is. "unpopulated areas" are not known for this.
With all the streaming services out there, it seems like the chance of getting any single service that is of very high quality will go down. Will we continue to see content split between many vendors with no place to get everything you want in one spot? Or worse, will we start to see these streaming services start trying to sign more and more exclusivity agreements for content to wall it off for people who use other services?
IMO, the idea of another service offering streaming movies and "new original content" is not an appetizing one. It's another subscription they are asking you to maintain, and how many are cost-cutting cord-cutters supposed to maintain at once?
There are dev managers in the world that don't give a crap about your age or skin color as long as you can code, document, lead, teach, test, implement, or what ever else we need done.
Maybe we should stop putting people into categories and treating them differently (+ or -) based on the amount of pigment in their skin?
Maybe we should judge people not based on the color of their skin but on the content of their character?
It's not like Joe or Jane iPhone User can even tell you what this stuff is, let alone that they would make buying decisions based on it if they are still milking an iPhone 3G

So... why are you still using Firefox?
Refugees should probably not just mean people who are migrating to a wealthier place to get on the dole.

I've got a modern Sig 1911 that's never had a malfunction in 5-ish thousands of rounds, but my experience may not be typical.
I also have an HK P30 which I think would be a very good candidate for this application if they are going to stick with 9mm.

Can they be as durable as the metal firearms?

What was the joke in WW2?

Are most cables cut intentionally?
If an old mall were left standing as an empty hulk, maybe.
What seems to be happening now is that the indoor malls are bulldozed and outdoor malls or cookie-cutter or McMansion housing developments are built.
I'm not sure who this Tsuda chap is, but if you'll let me know his bunk's addy I'll consider clinging to it.
Yes.
When you have no evidence toward a certain conclusion, you say "there's been no evidence found."
When only a sample too small for conclusions has been found, you say "it's too early to tell."
Not hard to understand.

Watch for Google to sue RedTube because of...Tube.
"Ted Stevens sues Google from beyond the grave for infringement on the distinctive likeness of his "Tube" catchphrase"

Apple has won, at least until the array of Andriod devices available catches up to all be resistant to government snooping.

Yes I assure you, we are quite safe from your "competition" here.
Being a cord cutter isn't cool anymore. Cool and hipstery would be cutting your internet cord, and/or getting rid of your smartphone
