At another job I supported Apple Xserve and RAID. We had a "spare parts kit." It had one of every part in n xserve, "the RAID had it's own similar kit." When anything failed I swapped out the part myself with the spare parts kit, then Apple overtightened a replacement part with a pre-paid shipping for sending the failed part.
Actually TFA wasn't about people believing things the researchers didn't agree with, it was about people believing things that are simply false.
Do you have personal knowledge of where Obama was born? I mean, you were there and saw it with your own eyes? If not, you believe the claim he was not born in the US is false because you believe someone else who told you that, or because you choose not to believe someone who told you the opposite.
And here's the real problem with Fox News. It subverts the very idea of there being an objective truth in order to push its agenda. Obama's birth certificate is publicly available, copies have been displayed in multiple news sources, but the Birthers always require "one more level" of proof. Hey, it could have been forged, etc, etc. At some point you have to accept secondary sources unless you're doing the research yourself.
Agreed, that's why I said "If you want to be strict about it".
Let's say you had a uncaught labelling error on a source file (foo.c) when you create your baseline label. I know, you're checking for that, but just for the sake of argument, let's say it happened. With a/main/LATEST catch-all rule, you would be getting whatever version of foo.c happens to be/main/LATEST. When you run a build, you may or may not get an error, but you run the risk of introducing a bizarre bug in your build image, which could lead to many hours of debugging before you track it down to that source file being the wrong version. With a/main/0 catch-all rule, you will most likely get a compile error (since foo.c will be empty). Maybe not when foo.o gets generated, but rather at link time. Basically, you're better set up to catch the problem sooner.
But yes, you are correct that it should be the same. Using/main/LATEST can also be nice if you have areas that are not labeled and you want to get/main/LATEST for those other ares.
Full body scanners were floating around in 2005, they were aready installed in airports in 2006/2007... orders have been placed, contracts signed, contractors hired, training done, policies and protocols written, multitudes of careers exist around these infernal things... you don't just step in and undo all that with a snap decision.
Actually, you can. fire the contractors or give them other jobs, tear up the policies and protocols, issue a big mea culpa and move on.
I respectfully disagree with you on this. There is nothing in my experience with the usage of the word "bias" to indicate that intent has anything to do with it. It may be ethically unjustifiable to be intentionally biased, but it is a perfectly legitimate use of the word.
bias (bs)
n.
1. A line going diagonally across the grain of fabric: Cut the cloth on the bias.
2.
a. A preference or an inclination, especially one that inhibits impartial judgment.
b. An unfair act or policy stemming from prejudice.
3. A statistical sampling or testing error caused by systematically favoring some outcomes over others.
4. Sports
a. A weight or irregularity in a ball that causes it to swerve, as in lawn bowling.
b. The tendency of such a ball to swerve.
5. The fixed voltage applied to an electrode.
adj.
Slanting or diagonal; oblique: a bias fold.
tr.v. biased or biassed, biasing or biassing, biases or biasses
1. To influence in a particular, typically unfair direction; prejudice.
2. To apply a small voltage to (a grid).
I was responding to your assertion that a five year old has the capacity to ignore scary, nightmare-inducing stimuli simply because it is "bad". You see, when something is disturbing, it is difficult for even an adult to ignore it.
A child does not have the defenses that an adult may possess. The world is already a scary place when you're less than four feet tall and there could very well be monsters under the bed. Some of the shit that is on broadcast TV would give him nightmares for the rest of his childhood. And I'm talking about stuff that is on before bedtime.
Now, as for you, DarkKnightRadick, you've demonstrated that you're just flamebaiting. Is this how you would talk to somebody in person? Grow up.
Hey great idea. I'll just limit myself to always going to the same place. Guess what? That was just an example. My point is that there are television screens blaring everywhere and I can't help but be exposed to them unless I go hide under a rock.
The only problem with that is that there are now television screens blaring at you in almost every establishment you go to. You can't always control what the dipshits out in the world choose to put on the screens in public places.
Personally, I'd rather not have to worry about my little boy being traumatized by graphic violence when we drop in to pick up a pizza.
As other have said - no he owned the router. I will go one step further and point out that all verizon fios contracts require the purchase - not lease - of the router up front. Sometimes they will waive the fee as part of the contract, sometimes you have to pay the $100. But, afaik, all fios customers own their routers.
You are oh, so very wrong.
Perhaps Verizon has different policies in different service areas, but for our service it is very clear that Verizon owns our Actiontec router. I had a good conversation with the tech when he installed our service. It's their router, but the customer gets administrative access to it. They also have the ability to get into it to update firmware, etc. At the time it scared me a little bit since Verizon could theoretically get in through their back door and start accessing stuff on my home network. I suppose they still could with a warrant. I almost added a second-level firewall because of it.
Anyway, the first router they gave me burned out last year. I called their support line and they overnighted a new router to me. The new router came, I installed it, followed their activation procedure, and sent the old one back to them in their pre-paid package. That's how a service provider acts when they own the equipment.
My son was born in 2005 and doesn't believe me when I say we can't watch TV shows on the GPS, or when I say we can't pause a show on the living room TV where we don't have a DVR.
I have an EE degree. What's a good 2nd degree? CMP ENG or Comp Sci? I want to be eligible to apply for more jobs.
You already have a technical degree. Get a business, marketing, sales, or management degree. If you're fresh out of school, you'll be happy in 5-10 years that you did. If you have experience, it will open doors for you now.
Actually, not true. My understanding of Christianity is that your soul belongs to you. In fact it is the only thing that belongs to you. Your purpose on Earth is to use your Free Will to determine whether you will give your soul to Jehovah or Satan (and hence go to Heaven or Hell) when you die.
And since Jehovah Created you, you'd be a total dick to go to the Other Guy. Ingrate.

I'm pretty sure that "Operation" has always been a battery-powered game.

You've been reading Slashdot with IE for over a decade? You should be ashamed of yourself. Use Firefox or Chrome like all the other cool kids.
