. We inter-bred. Apparently, we gained much of our resistance to noxious germs from them. Neanderthals aren't dead. They merged with us Homo Sapiens, and apparently willingly for the most part (as far as can be told).
There's proof now that we interbred. However, there's also solid evidence that we ate them. So we fucked them and ate them, depending on our mood. Just like sheep, cows, etc.
or a 20yo someone who has no concept of freedom on their computing devices because walled gardens have always been a part of their life, school inet, mobile, home PC (Win8?) they know not any other way, hence the question ?
Yeah, right, a 20yo someone who has no concept of using the web and buying something on the web. Care to try again?
Wow, I thought the US was the only stand-out / weird-country with anti-evolution nuts in power.
ARE YOU KIDDING? Please tell us you were kidding, that you're not *that* provincial, that you believe Western rationalism really is the norm throughout the entire world, including Muslim countries and Africa?
Yea, becuase unregulated guns are working out so well in the Middle East!
Actually, they are. They have allowed citizens to put tyrannical governments on the defensive long enough to form the basis for an alternative government and attract the international assistance required to disable the dictators' military.
How do relieve it? Programmers everywhere want to know.
Stretching. I started to look for a link to post about the particular ones that help me, but heck, the obvious google search brings up all sorts of instructions, videos & images--and what is best for me won't be best for everybody. So google it and try some out. (For me, it's stretches that involve flexing the palm and fingers back...)
Don't avoid the doctor if you need it--the simple stretches that work for me when I work my muscles/tendons into that short/thick state will not relieve your pain if you have tendonitis, nor if you have inflammation of the sleeve itself (I forget the medical term).
And if you've given yourself De Quervain's, that's somewhat different stretches needed.
And if you've jacked yourself into thoracic outlet compression, that's a whole other set of stretches and exercises:-(
Now let's say there's one bad guys with a gun, and 10 good guys with a gun. Can all the good guys identify the other good guys?
Some of them, yes, because they saw the bad guy start the whole thing. The others will just duck and watch. The oft-cited problem of the "good guys" starting shooting willy-nilly and turning things into an even bigger blood bath has never happened.
Now let's say there are three bad guys with a gun and 12 good guys with a gun. Will all the good guys be able to identify all the bad guys?
Well, just exactly how fucking silly do you want to be? Why not 100 bad guys and 1,000 good guys in a stadium, during a laser light show? Heck, let's give each bad guy a girl scout tied up to use as a human shield. And just for laughs, let's throw in a couple dozen blindfolded confused clowns running around randomly.
Your description of carpal tunnel is correct, but slightly incomplete. Tendonitis is not necessary, certain kinds of overuse (like typing and mouse use) combined with never using full range of motion and no stretching can cause shortening of the muscles and tendons such that the "fatter" part of the tendon gets "pulled" into the carpal tunnel and compresses the nerves. Fortunately, that flavor of CTS, with which I am intimately familiar, is very easy to relieve;-)
A quick search has not revealed any successful incidents of civilians stopping mass-shootings with their own guns. Off-duty police and military have, but I can't find evidence of civilians without military or police training doing it.
I'm remembering also one at a middle or high school, but don't remember enough names to bring it up.
Anyway, the point is, that maybe it's hard to find instances of civilians stopping mass shootings, because when the civilians are armed, there is no mass shooting.
Here's a better one: why don't we focus on the underlying issues rather than basically meaningless terminology that everybody involved understands what is meant anyway.
The words are not meaningless, and not everybody understands what is meant.
have you worked with Cerner or Epic? both systems allow health care systems to achieve HIMSS level 7 fairly quickly with very little effort.
Well, I guess I know who's a consultant, eh? Yeah, because substituting jargon like "HIMSS Level 7" in place of any meaningful discussion regarding the speed and effectiveness of the software's user interface is just classic consultantese bullshit.
FYI, I have developed a custom--yes that's right a true one-off--EMR for a particular clinical specialty operating in a medical school/hospital environment. We stopped adding paper to charts and creating new paper charts in 2007 (IIRC), scanned and put all the active charts in storage in 2010. So I do know a little bit about this stuff;-)
Yep, most of it stinks. In fact, if you google a bit it's not hard to find studies showing much revenue drs lose in the first year or two of using electronic medical records. That's right, they lose money, because they see fewer patients, because the software slows them down enough to have a material effect on their productivity.
There's a morass of reasons why the software evolved to be so user-hostile--way more than I'd go into for a/. post. But I will say that now federal regulations will prevent any substantial progress in the near future...
Heh, I actually knew someone who bought a new car and simply drove it until the pistons seized from lack of oil. (4-5 years, FYI)
Thing is, her brother was a car mechanic who kept telling her to bring it in and get the oil changed, but she just couldn't be bothered... And yes, she brought pretty much the same attitude to her work.
No, really, this is an actual example that happened to me. Verbatim. I'm not making it up.
You really felt you had to clarify/defend that here? As soon as I read it, I was nodding in agreement, with no suspicion at all that you might be making it up;-)
Once they get disabused of the idea all that matters is that their brain farted a vague idea...
Yeah, somebody will invent a bicycle crank with crooked arms that actually magnify your pedaling force before that happens;-)
'The most common thing I hear from aspiring entrepreneurs is, "I have this idea for an app or site. But I'm not technical, so I need to find someone who can make it for me." I point them to my advice about how to hire a programmer, but as most of the good ones are already booked solid, it's a pretty helpless position to be in.
99% of the time it's a "pretty helpless position to be in" because:
1) The "aspiring entrepreneur" will never be able to get a programmer interested because the idea is not good, not original, or neither;
2) The idea is less than half-baked, just the vaguest notion, with no plan nor understanding whatsoever of the massive amount of work required to get from idea to product--yet the "aspiring entrepreneur" will feel he's being generous to offer the programmer 50% of the revenue in exchange for 99.99% of the work.
There's good reasons that most "aspiring entrepreneurs" continue to aspire rather than achieve...

What, an intact human stomach full of Neanderthal chunks was found preserved in the Alps?
Google it.

Don't worry, I got this!
HEY! It's going the wrong way! That was insightful, not a troll. Well, OK, it was a little trollish, but very insightful.
This is one of the stupidest stories I have read; not even worthy of slightly retarded 12 years olds.
Goddammit. My mod points expired a few minutes ago ;-)
While rocket scientists likely have lots of education involving fluid dynamics, I doubt they specialized much in erosion.
WHAT THE FUCK? You seriously don't think NASA has geologists to study geology???
Canada has been annexing the USA bit by bit for years, and the only weapons they needed to do it were Tim-bits and the fearsome Double-Double.
So I guess WWIII will start when the Canadian invasion collides with the Mexican invasion in the middle?
I'm just waiting for the declaration from the US that Canada has joined the "axis of evil".
That'll never happen. You're too close; we'll just annex you ;-)

If you think it is easy to run in to a situation and know what is going on...
Right, but if you're in the situation from the beginning, you have a much better chance of knowing what is going on.
Excellent. Now all we need is a way to tell the two guys apart before the shooting starts.
They both know, so what's the problem?

Funny the Slashdot community skipped right over the news Microsoft sold 60 million licenses so far. this place really is the fox news of tech.
Because:
1) That's actually a low rate for Windows adoption;
2) More importantly, it provides no information at all on sales of Windows RT tablets.

The butter project was about latency with user interaction. The issues talks about /dev/random, which is totally unrelated.
Well, you'd hope it was unrelated, but sometimes I'm no so sure ;-)
