Exactly, except the official name for the product line has been Power Systems for a few years now (although I don't think anybody outside of IBM calls it that). Because IBM is the only manufacturer, they still get good margins on it, and that's why they kept it.
Whole grains also slow the break down and absorption and are a good thing.
Don't eat simple sugars.
I'm diabetic (type 2). While this is generally true, in practice I've found that wheat of any kind and rice of any kind will send my blood sugar up unless I keep my portion sizes very small. Nowadays I usually just avoid the both.
It's quite a difference whether an internet outage means (more or less) only external mail and browsing doesn't work or that you can just send everyone home until it's fixed.
There are numerous in-house scenarios where this is an issue as well. Any business hosting their infrastructure in a colo can run into this. So will any business large enough to have multiple locations, as they may not have anything beyond file and print services located in the remote locations (which might still be pretty big).
For that matter, there are potential issues hosting your applications in house. I've seen facilities issues (everything from A/C failure to flooding) bring down in-house data centers for extended periods of time.
The system Canada uses to determine who can get a permanent resident card is based on points. You get so many points for your occupation (assuming it's on the list, which changes periodically), so many points for speaking English and/or French, etc. If you have enough points you can apply for your PR card (pay the fee, send them your fingerprints, medical examination, etc.). Once you've lived in Canada for about three years you can apply for citizenship.
And if someone hacks your card, they blame you (because you must have given away your PIN) and you have no way to prove it.
Incorrect. There are a variety of ways that your PIN can be compromised, and banks are well aware of that. Anything from shoulder surfing to keystroke logging will work.
My credit card (with chip and PIN) was skimmed last year (based on the timing I believe from a restaurant in Winnipeg) and my bank removed all of the charges with minimal intervention on my part.
My question is.. is this policy going to follow through with other HP equipment? I've got a HP color laser jet printer: Will I experience the same issue with that? I've got three HP scanners -- will I need to put them in the garbage? (No one will want them if they can't get even basic driver support).
Yeah, I'm concerned about this as well. Weren't free software updates one of the selling points of HP's Procurve line of network gear?
On the bright side, I gave up on HP printers after my last one died a couple years ago.
I'm curious how often you had to update firmware on servers that were out of warranty?
I'm going to have to see how this plays out, but it could be a pain in the ass for somebody like me who has to install firmware on *new* servers for customers. *I* don't have a support contract even if the customer does. (Which doesn't mean that there won't be some way around it.)
Your statements seem to imply that GPS satellites are in geostationary orbit. They are not. The system would not work if they were.
Which is true, but a little quick google searching shows that relativistic effects do indeed need to be taken into account with GPS satellites (such as this link).
Even if there's some truth behind the theory in the article, I'd still expect there to be a range of conditions under which life would be possible. Venus is probably out of it. While it seems unlikely that there's life on Venus now, it's still possible that there was life on Venus earlier in its history when (and if) the conditions were less extreme. (Although I can't imagine that anybody would be able to get any evidence for it, if it did exist.)
it's a government contract. they'll get their money whether they produce the talent and a working product or not. there is no incentive for them to do anything but collect that government money.
You're missing the point. As you pointed out, legality and known purity is not going to prevent all overdoses, but it would prevent some.
If you're buying drugs on the street, it's difficult to tell exactly how pure. This means that by taking the same mass of a particular drug, you're not going to get precisely the same amount of active ingredient. If your latest dose is sufficiently purer than your typical dose, then you may overdose.
What complicates this is that many addicts will go off of their drug of choice for a period of time and lose their tolerance. When they start using again, their bodies can't handle as much but they try to use their old dose and overdose.
Just to add what you said, many of the old racist southern Democrats eventually moved to the Republican party. For instance, the late Jesse Helms started out as a Democrat but changed to the Republican party before he ran for the North Carolina Senate.
They'd have to run them, which costs money. It would be a big change to their business model, and it's not necessarily something they'd be good at. As such, it's a big risk. Which doesn't mean they won't try.
I'm not sure I'd right off the USPS. Their parcel business seems to be growing rapidly, with very competitive prices for small fixed price boxes.
In Canada, I greatly prefer Canada Post to UPS or any of the other corporate carriers like DHL. I've had carriers stick my packages in the mailbox (which is fine) and fake a signature (which is not). They ring the doorbell and walk away without leaving a note to tell me they were here. If I'm home I have to run to the door to have any chance of catching them. Sometimes they leave my packages sitting on my front door (I live downtown on a busy street). With UPS and DHL, sometimes I have to go out to the burbs to pick up a package I missed, sometimes they leave it at a local location.
With Canada Post, though, it's almost always smoother and more pleasant. If I'm not home the package either goes into the mailbox or I get a note to pick it up the next day someplace local.
I think the big shopping mall anchor stores (Macy's, JC Penney, etc) are all likely to fail in the next 20 years. Sears is already a dead man walking, Penney's is close and the others are living on borrowed time.
This will be interesting. I'm not sure that *all* of them will fall, although I think most of them will. As tepples said, fitting rooms are pretty damn useful. However, the stores that survive might be smaller, clothing-specific stores like Old Navy or Eddie Bauer.
Sears has been horribly mismanaged for a long time. Even if department stores were healthy I think they'd be in trouble.
I can't imagine that the amount of hydrogen in even a warehouse full of these things is much of a safety risk unless it all leaks out at once. But in the factory...
My assumption is that either the helium performs some other function (as you said) or that it's just cheaper to use some kind of gas instead of a vacuum.
There's absolutely no reason I should be footing the bill for a service I have no intention of using.
You realize that a caching appliance for a heavily-used service like Netflix could save an ISP bandwidth costs, right? Presumably more than enough to offset the cost of switch ports, rack space and electricity.
Lord knows where they develop the film, though. (Unless setting up your own darkroom is a hipster fad I've overlooked.)
You don't need a darkroom to develop film and scan it. You just need a changing bag, which is basically a black bag with arm holes. It's designed to keep the light out while allowing your hands to work with whatever's inside. It takes a little practice, but it's easy enough to wind the film around a reel and put it inside a light-proof canister. From there you just pour in whatever developer you're using through a tiny hole at the top.
What you would need a darkroom for is making prints from your negatives. I have actually never done that.
Two item: 1) They were smelting iron in the Lake Region of Africa (Rwanda) thousands of years ago. So it is possible that the Egyptian either knew how or they could of traded for it if they needed iron. 2) The Egyptian used iron from Meteor for sacred purpose. It was important to them that this iron came from the stars/heaven. The item was made of Meteor iron not because the Egyptian couldn't smelted iron but because it was important that the object be sacred.
Iron smelting in Africa dates back to somewhere in the range of 1500-1750 BC (see Google books link and wikipedia link on the topic). However, per the Nature article the artifact in question dates back to about 3300 BC, over a thousand years earlier. So at the time point 1 is invalid (at least based on present evidence). Point 2 seems pretty likely, though.

Ok. So what do the Nazca lines point to? I'm not saying it's aliens but if you're going to talk like a bitch, you're going to get called out for it.
Since the Paracas culture immediately preceded the Nazca culture in the same region, my first guess would be that they used them for the same purpose.

And you can use it anywhere. And it has USB 3.0 speed. And it won't be data mined by Google.
If you have a fire or flooding and you're not keeping the backup at an offsite location, you've also lost all your data.

Yeah. But in twenty years.

Like somebody else said elsewhere in the thread, nowadays that's all many companies do for fear of getting their asses sued.
Just give us the same thing that got rid of them the last time around. DDT works.
Bedbugs were apparently resistant to DDT by the 1950s.
