There is no licensure for journalists. There is no educational requirement(especially not at my regional rag). You don't even need to be employed by a news agency(ie, "freelance").
And there is definitely not a required standard of ethics. Can't say I've heard of many journalists with malpractice insurance, either.
A journalist is one who behaves like a journalist. Nothing more. Having a degree, being employeed by a news agency, those may help you in a court to demonstrate that you behave like a journalist, but they are not required.
A lot of the surgery done causes a lot of pain. When that pain subsides (which can take a while depending on the surgery) the pain level may end up just as bad as it was. The placebo effect of it is, you know how bad the pain can get (just after surgery), so the resumed regular pain isn't quite so bad any more. Maybe the pain wasn't "that bad" to start with, so the much more severe abuse makes the patient realize that.
.
I know a guy that has something like that. He's a bit unlocky, having had a few tool-related accidents(sawed off the fleshy part of his thumb, spilt acid on himself, etc).
Whenever a doctor asks him to rate the pain on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst pain ever experienced, he has to qualify his ratings with "a 10, for me, is having my arm skin charred and driving myself to the hospital in a manual-shift car". Otherwise, they tend to not give him enough pain killers when he says the pain is only a 4.
So yah, I can see how experiencing worse pain can make less pain feel better. Like thumping your head against the wall so it feels better when you stop:)
Because I'm watching a movie, not the graphical interface.
I'd rather hit the volume up button on my keyboard instead of waggling the mouse until the overlay pops up and then wait while it blocks part of the movie until it fades again.
Simple physics. Decent bass requires displacing air at relatively slow speeds.
This means either a lot of travel, like a regular speaker, (which can't happen with these speakers unless they are the size of bedsheets) or the speakers would have to have some kind of resonating chamber, like a drum, which makes the paper-thinness kinda pointless.
That said, they do look interesting. Sounds like they turned a film capacitor into a motive unit.
The story has common elements, but the details of those elements are very different.
IE, Logan works as a lumberjack and has a vaguely similar traumatic event happen while working there, but it is in a completely different decade and isn't in the same chronological order with other events.
Indeed, it is tempting. But while the BES might be free(i've a spare server at home), my phone company seems to think that installing it is worth at least $180/year for them to let me stop using their server and start using mine.
Presumably because they think anyone using BES must have a corporate account that will not notice a 50%+ increase in fees and will start dinging me as badly as they would the fellow I was replying to originally.
Well, I don't have BES(although I've been thinking about it, you can get a one user BES license for free now) and don't live in Cinci or Columbus(they charge extra if your billing address is in a metro zipcode), so mine's just $30+tax.
The downside is that since Warner bought the Pirate BAy.....there will no longer be any Warner Bros. titles offered there. Only stuff from the other guys...../blockquote.
You need a language that is only semi-agglutinative(you can stick words together, but it isn't preferred past a certain length)
You need a language/culture that can either invent or steal words, either to cover a new concept or add definition/shades of meaning to an existing concept. This also keeps agglutinated words from getting too long.
Similarly, concepts/words/symbols should be composed of subsymbols that are amenable to composing new symbols without necesarily carrying their own meaning. Having the glyph for home composed of the glyphs man+woman+house only goes so far before the subsymbols lose meaning or get really hard to write. I can make "xkcd" or "jkliop" mean something without it have a underlying symbolic meaning that relates to or constructs that meaning.
The language's grammar should accept sloppiness and alternative phrasing but not require it.
I could come up with more, but, basically, the language should be flexible and detailed without being cluttered or strict. English isn't that language, but it has features of it. With some functional changes and some cultural changes, many existing languages could serve this purpose.
The real thing English has going is network effects from British imperialism & American commercialism, similar to how French and Latin used to be prevalent due to diplomacy & trade.
I've got a shelf full of creation myths, including the bible. I collect them, as a hobby.
Eventually I'll find one that starts with something like "In the beginning, God made the unified supersymmetric soup out of some lint in his pocket(why you unborn String Theoriests will think otherwise, I don't understand), and flicked it into a lower energy state(the ground), causing it to expand into the cosmos."
Then, I'll have found a religious institution to go with my belief system.
If one were to believe in "intelligent design" along the lines of "God stacked the pre-big bang unified soup like dominoes, which topple according to a set of evident rules, so that they fell in a pattern of God's choosing" that is completely different than what many people use ID to mean. While some people will say "evolution+god"=evolution+NULL, it isn't worth the effort of argument for me(until somebody pulls out the torches & stakes, anyway).
If you believe "God made us like space aliens would and buried misleading skeletons to make us think we evolved",(old earth or young earth) then that is the crock that many, if not most, are referring to as Intelligent Design.
Two, even including that, though, you don't need every degree along each axis of rotation, you could probably get by with eighths or maybe even quarter rotations if current machine vision techniques are used. I've seen optical testers that could identify a particular object rotated along one axis with just one "quality ideal" reference photo and tests a few hundred objects/second. Not angles, objects. Spits them out like a machine gun.
Actually, for a while I ran a modded bittornado client that deliberately would never upload more than 10% of the torrent to any one IP for expressly this purpose. It also lied to the tracker about my ratio for additional deniability.
Not that I thought I'd get away with it, but I figured that if I was that screwed, it'd be amusing to have my lawyer whip out the client source in court showing that I couldn't have supplied anyone with a complete copy, that my actual transfer was substantially different than what the tracker showed, and thus any evidence they had could not show a complete infringement.
what, like putting <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish"/> in the HEAD section of a page to let search engines know what they should use over the actual link that brought them to your page?
Using this transforms multiple connections of roughly equal up and down data transfer into a single connection of roughly equal up and down transfer.
IE, if they don't block my VPN between home and work which runs at a constant 100kbps, then having a VPN to the pirate bay doing the same is in no way dishonest or selfish of me in regards to the ISP. If they block a network behavior instead of content, then I will change the behavior, not the content.
Indeed, if they have a reason to dislike multiple connections(say, they are running out of IPs and are NATing all their customers), then this is actually a nice thing to do, as it consolidates it all into a single connection and uses less of their resources to achieve the same end result for me.

You can already put Flash in a spreadsheet. I've seen people doing that to avoid tripping mail scanners & avoid showing up on the web traffic logs.

And they kinda screwed up Deadpool.
Can't you just install a rooted version of the standard handset firmware over it?
There was some discussion about that in the previous /. story after someone noticed the bonus firmware worked for paid but not copyprotected apps.

Many, if not most, do run OS2. But some newer ATMs, especially those by new manufacturers, use windows.
A russian ATM with a "You haven't activated yet" error message.
In Ohio Verizon only sticks it to you for $30/month on an "unlimited"(really 5GB) plan.
Well, except for the ones that clear the screen and replace it with some author's picture when you turn it off.

Having gone travelling recently, many English dialects are mutually incomprehensible. Some within a 20 mile radius.
It just fits some of the requirements.

One, 359^3 leaves out rotations on multiple axes.
Two, even including that, though, you don't need every degree along each axis of rotation, you could probably get by with eighths or maybe even quarter rotations if current machine vision techniques are used.

Then I got a real job.

I think they do that already.

Because several ISPs will block all torrent activity, regardless of legality.
Which makes getting new linux ISOs and updating World of Warcraft slower than torrenting them through a VPN.
