I think people get caught up on the etymology of the word.
schizophrenia - 1912, from Ger. Schizophrenie, coined by E. Bleuler, 1910, from Gk. skhizein "to split" + phren "mind." Slang shortening schizo first attested 1920s as an adj., 1945 as a noun.
I have a rather bleak view of the disease. The medications work... no doubt. But they may work for 6 months, a year, two years, five years, but eventually, and I don't know the medical resons, people build resistance to them, their condition changes or their bodies will lash out with reactions to the antipsychotic drugs... this could appear as mood changes, exhaustion or they return to their old behaviour.
My point is that even if somebody is "taking their meds", they can still go into a psychotic episode. Many times they won't want to admit themselves to the hospital, and as long as they're not considered a danger, nobody can force them there... nor can they stop them from signing themselves out.
Finally, and this is something subtle... people who have the disease and get help don't generally "see that they had a problem"... the lines between sanity and delusion are blurred, and memories of delusions are just as real as the delusions themselves.
So if the neighbours were using reflections to monitor their mind, when they go on their meds, the neighbours have either stopped or they're not doing anything with the information anymore... the psychiatrist will tell the patient "not to talk about that stuff", and if they're good, they won't.
There is no "normal" and the disease never goes away. Half the horror can be trying to convince the person that you're not a nazi robot sent to monitor their mind and the hospital is really there to help them... and you'll have to relive those experiences every few years as they relapse and the "meds" need to be figured out all over again.
I guess too that it all depends on the personality of the individual and the severity of their disease, but like I said... I have a rather bleak view.
Actually... I always figured Nintendo was trying to dominate the market where parents buy machines for teeny-boppers by making decent games which parents won't feel guilty buying.

Actually, a bunch of Ewok schoolgirls tie him down and drip candle wax on him, not realizing that he has sensitive skin.
Terrified that this secret might get out, he creates an elaborate story about how he was burned in a pit of lava, but secretly he raises the empire to avenge his molestation at the hands of the the Ewoks.
It is revealed that Chewy is Luke's brother, and Yoda's secret ancestry is infact the result of an Ewok-Gungan affair.

Why are people so nasty about cyclists?
It's a shame that driving is a privilige, but while the city is taxed to build roads to handle the volume of traffic from mostly empty privately owned vehicles, cyclists have to fight for a spot on the road.
In many areas, the sensors in the road don't even detect cyclists and the signals won't change. You have to get off your bike to hit the pedestrian button to get the light to change.
I've been yelled at and honked off the road in many places for riding with the flow of traffic. Cyclists often have to asert themselves on the road because yielding outside the lane of traffic forfeits their rights on the road. This and it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk.
As for turning on the curb lane of traffic. How did the motorists get ahead of the cyclist? Passing in the same lane? Was it done safely? Was it necessary?
Have you ever waited behind a bicycle and waitied for them to go before turning?
When I drive, I always check my shoulder for psychotic cyclists, and when I cycle, I tend to wait for the first car to make its move... depending on the circumstances, I might jump across the lane and do a wide run-about. Hey, what would you do if motorists always zipped past you and stopped to make a turn?
IMHO, the best solution for cycling is extra-wide curb/kerb lanes... not cycling lanes, just wide curb lanes. They're good to keep traffic moving when cars are stranded too, and they keep motorists out of the "get in your F*ing bicycle lane!" mindset.
There are obviously plenty of people who DO like it
The only people who matter are the advertisers. They're the true customers of T.V.
Viewers control T.V. only through a distant and hardly measurable relationship between network's profits from ad-space, which might, just barely, be influenced by viewer's tendencies to purchase corporate brands when they've seen them on T.V.
So it is entirely possible that nobody likes it, and the advertisers perceive it to be a set of palatable stories to wrap around their corporate messages.
Oh, I wasn't saying that was sysadmin work, just that you need somebody to watch the floor. Small shops have the sysadmin do the hardware work, but even medium sized shops pull away from that model.
It's pretty natural to outsource the work, or to let your Sysadmins work from home.
You still need hardware guys to wander the floors and upgrade the odd thing. It's not hard though to also assign them any hands-on admin duties, or to bug them over the phone for stuff like jiggling the cable on the KVM.
Those programs actually manipluate a data structure in the Win32 API which was designed for transparency. The prior art for those apps could go back to the creation of that aspect of the API.
If you set the regional settings to Canadian, the default paper size in Win95 is A4. It's so annoying that you're better off just leaving the OS as U.S.
Civic Hybrid to its feature-comparable Civic cousin, the EX or the LX. You will see a 30%-40% difference in mpg.
I couldn't do the comparison because I didn't know what the horsepower of the two cars would be. I only get qualitative "good" statements, but if the Hybrid Civic has an effective engine with the horsepower of a 1.5L engine, then comparing it against the 1992 cars might be more appropriate.

Rack mount servers are loud and require special cooling considerations.
The 5 1/4" drive bay, the USB ports and Firewire ports are prety good guesses at the scale.
No, nothing so rude, the common French word for byte is "octet". :-)

Tech support can give you a fascinating viewpoint on what it really means to "understand" a problem.
Or you're French.

I would imagine it's also less of a pain to put three or four 3/4" holes in a 3 1/2" stud than it is to put a single 2" hole in a 3 1/2" stud.

Hey, aren't most bicycles in the U.S. metric? Can anyone confirm?
Yeah, put wheel in sudoers. However the man page for sudoers is a masterpeice of lengthy, ineffective documentation.
For that to work, you would need immortal cows.
You know, the sensor doesn't need to support the wheel :-)
Skipping the driving controller, you might do better to dismantle a $2.99 optomechanical USB mouse for its optical sensor and USB interface.
Sounds good. I'll dig through it tonight, sorry if I'm coming across a bit abrupt. I need more sleep and less time around computers :-)
