Here in Norway it is required by law that every employee has the possibility to call in sick for 4x3 days per 12 months (not by calendar year). This is with 100% pay, no questions asked. If you're reall sick, and has to get sickleave, this will not count in on the 12 days as long as you get medical confirmation. Sickleave is also with 100% pay btw.
In addition every parent has the right to stay home when their kid/babysitter is sick, I believe that is upto 20 days a year. This is also with 100% pay.
A fun thing is also that if you get sick on your vacation days, you'll get replacement vacation days. This is only for the 5 weeks of required vacation, not the national holidays though.
My N900 is almost 3 years old, and it is starting to show it's age. I really hope the combination mer/sailfish will turn out ok, as i haven't found anything able to replace my current N900 yet.
I'm going to miss Nokia if they go down for good:(
I recall reading about this here on slashdot several years ago (guessing '96), and thought that it was disproved not lang after. I might be wrong though

I'll put my vote for the TI Chronos as well. It is just something funny about having a watch that you can create your own custom software for. Programmable in C, well documented and got a community (fairly small) of hackers playing with it.
You should be able to make it open you garage door:)
on the plus side: -Got a few sensors (pressure, temp, acceleration) -It includes IDE's to make your own firmware -Got a radio tranceiver to interface with "whatever" you want it to -Doesn't look that bad
negative: -Doesn't look _that_ good -Segmented display -Not waterproof.
If you're mainly interested in learning new stuff for fun I would strongly advise you to try macrophotography. It does not have to be that expensive, and it is very fascinating to look or document insects and small things in a way that very few people actually get to experience.
You can get some really nice setups for very little money if you look at some diy projects.
Depending on where you live/travel you might even contribute to scientific discoveries:)
I'm amazed they left out the hp48 emulator. It was an amazing calculator, and the emulator does exactly what it it is supposed to do - everything.
It did everything a calculator is supposed to do, and it was _almost_ able to boil my coffee.
After my 10 years working with programming, this is still the environment i love the most. Actually it is probably the only thing i still know the exact location of at all times.
The climate change proponents will probably try to make a bigger deal out of this than it really is. I take the stance that I'm not educated enough on Earth's climate to have a valid opinion on climate change, but I do find it strange that they never mention the tropics have been colder than usual these past few years. I live in Mackay, Queensland, and this year's winter was probably the coldest I've seen here (though I have only been here eight years).
I find it worrying that people say "I don't know enough, so i don't believe it" about climate changes.
I'm the first to admit that i haven't got the faintest clue if we are rapidly accelerating a climatechange. However I think it is better to err on the side of caution than hoping it all blows over
well, you might be right about some crappy isps have download limits and or portblockers. However this casestudy is from Norway where NONE of the isps have any of that.
If you're already paying fully for your bandwidth the extra load on your network is already paid for and should be considered sunk cost.
In words you might understand: "The more I download/share, the cheaper my bandwidth becomes"
or could it be that he only posted the guys first name and the fact that he lived in indonesia... I wouldn't exactly call that posting someones "real life information"
I really do count five devblogs that include what happened, which I would say is more than enough. We are paying customers, not stock investors. We can't demand that ccp tells us about everything that happens in their offices. You should just be thankfull for the fact that they actually devulge a lot of information and listen to their customers. Besides, are you able to name one gaming company where the CEO would apologize to their customers for something this incredibly minor? The only reason this got so blown up is that everybody seems to hate the most powerfull alliance ingame atm.
T20 should have been fired, I dunno why he wasn't, but it would still be wrong to punish him twice. maybe the accounts-sharers kugutsumen provided data about should be banned as well, _if_and_only_if_ everyone else in the game that _once_ asked a friend to change a skill for them get banned as well. Maybe everyone that used insta-bookmarks when they existed should be banned as well, that surely would eliminate the.
Kugutsumnen is only the latest in bad stuff that is happening to the game atm. People take it way to serious, and people actually seem to hate eachother. The metagaming is starting to take over, everybody got a character that is spying on someone else and exploits are only exploits if they are used against you.
Even though I've been fighting Evol/RKK/Moo/BoB for the three years I've played the game, I don't think that BoB has had any real advantage from the 4-6 devs in their alliance. I'm actually pretty sure that I've been flying with devs on ops, but I still get podded. Nor do I believe that the 8 bpos was of the slightest importance for getting bob where they are today.
It is a game, the developers have to be able to test out how the political game works, it is a game, corrupt people are everywhere, it is a game and remember that this is only a game.
I very much agree that what one of the devs did was very unfortunate.
However, what you say about CCP trying to cover up does not in any way correspond to what I've seen. Every single dev-blog the last month has mentioned this, they are trying to change some of the mechanics to prevent anything like this ever happening again, not to mention that they haven't deleted a single (coherent) post about this on THEIR OWN forums.
yep, much in the same way as every linux geek on earth bother to post in the exact same forum.
Right.
Nomatter how you try to twist this, it demonstrates to dell that it WOULD be a good idea to give the consumers more freedom in what they got installed on their new computers. Lately I've encountered large amount of non-techies that seems to start getting fed up with MS after all the bad publicity they are getting. If the computers were delivered as dual-boot systems, I'm pretty sure that the demand would be alot bigger than dell anticipates.
If oil companies wanted people to believe that oil would be more expensive in say 5 years, people and businesses would look for other sources of energy.
Oil companies obviously don't want harder competition from alternative energysources.

Also forgot to mention the fact that my employer would be pretty pissed off if I showed up at work while sick, risking the health of everybody else.

Weird, I thought that the count wasn't final yet.
But from my point of view 55.9m votes (Obama) is a bit more than 54.4m votes(Romney), so you must be using some funny fuzzy maths

redhat -> mandrake -> debian -> kubuntu -> sabayon -> arch
Mandrake was the first distro I used as a full-time desktop OS. Have been using debian on my servers "for ever"
Still trying out new distros in vm's fairly regulary, but I'm getting to old to dedicate hours every day just to play with it.

European elephants did go extinct fairly recently. And as The Question is quite old, I don't think we should completely rule them out.
Oh, how i want one of those..
Love your work with the HP48 btw :)

might split things up into something reminding onboard ram and external swap though.
I don't need my 24gb swap space much at the moment, but it would be sweet to have it respond in something like 20ns anyways :)

I don't have any exact data to show, but i know that we don't use anything near the us/eu when it comes to use of antibiotics in farming.
I think we use _a_lot_ of the stuff for breeding salmon though.
didn't really mean to pick on you in perticular, was just an observation :)
been mighty nice weather in Norway the last year, so this global warming thingy might actually benefit me. Unlike most of the world, that is.
Still, I'd like to no fuck too much with this planet anyways.

you complain about the lack of democracy in cuba, and still you think it wrong of them to abort however many fetuses they want to?
I thought that was exactly what was claimed to be the problem, that people are too slow to fix automated defences when they malfunction.
or could it be that he only posted the guys first name and the fact that he lived in indonesia... I wouldn't exactly call that posting someones "real life information"
I think they've stated that MS-SQL scales pretty good for their demands (lots of queries, optimized sql, smallish return data)
However, I would also like to get an answer to this question as well as the the question about stackless python
