It's doctor speak for "there is nothing wrong with you - it's in your head".
I actually know a person who received this diagnosis and later went bat shit crazy (still is). She also fell in with crystal healers and people on the Internet who would "send her energy", which side-tracked her from getting treatment while there was still time. As much as I blame the school system for allowing this fundamental lack of logic to escape their thirteen year system, the doctors who punted and refused to actually diagnose her were derelict in their duty.
It doesn't help that the family doesn't feel that they should have a to spend a dime to get treatment, which severely limits their options (though they incur more costs by not doing so...), but it's pretty clear from what they tell me that she's got a chronic low-level infection and probably a really poor diet, as well as underlying mental issues (which have always been noticed) and possibly a history of autoimmune disorder. But at this point, "she's nuts" is the state of the art for her as far as medical diagnosis is concerned.
At least she's not being burned at the stake, though - there's been some societal progress.
Nuclear is very clearly part of our energy solution, and it is time that we, as green environmentalists, accept that.
If nothing else, there's the simple matter of all the existing nuclear waste. It can't be wished away.
The light water reactors use maybe 3% of the available energy and leave a hot mess behind. It's irresponsible to ignore it for the next 300,000 years (if that were even possible on societal scale).
No, what needs to happen is that highly-radioactive waste needs to be brought down to something that will decay to background levels on a timescale that we can manage.
Fortunately, we have the technology to do that. It just so happens that the cleanup process will generate all the power the world needs for most of a century. Our enemy is the governments that prevent that technology from being utilized (Branson is one who has been trying to get approval for years). Of course, the people who put all the government roadblocks in place to prevent the commercialization of such technology have been making mint peddling carbon taxes and selling fear about global warming.
Let's just stop bagging on Adobe... At the least they are taking ownership of the issues they have
Are they? Have they run the Flash codebase through any of the half-dozen excellent source code analysis tools with a security team looking for undiscovered vulnerabilities? Are they being proactive at all?
It's closed source, so we don't know, but perhaps a third-party could certify their efforts and we really could become Adobe supporters.
Why should I pay for content that amounts to Propaganda
You might be, if you're not paying to support the Democracy Now!, Ben Swann, Glen Greenwald, Jeremy Skahill, Laura Poitras, and perhaps even Julian Assanges of the world. News is competitive, and if you pay for cable TV and don't donate to these other news efforts, then you're making a market decision for propaganda to dominate.
I'm not an IT person, but weren't there a few companies that tried this crap wwaayy back when? I seem to remember them all failing miserably.
What makes this more ironic is that HP recently went the other direction on their ProCurve line, offering full features and upgrades for life. I just deployed a cluster on mid-range HP switches yesterday and they were such a better deal than Juniper, specifically because of their software support policy.
But... because of Juniper, Cisco, even Netgear to some degree they have to compete there. You'll notice that IBM just sold its server business to China, and Dell just announced 15,000 layoffs, both in the past week. HP is in a "last man standing" position, though they're only king of the Brand-Name Hill, while the Whitebox Mountains dominate the landscape.
Um, have you seen who the "people" have been electing?
Shhhh - you're gonna ruin the propaganda he was fed in 7th grade civics. Next thing you'll do is start citing counter examples and using data - you monster!
Don't worry, it's a temporary measure meant to work-around wage controls implemented to ease the GI transition into the economy. As soon as WWII is fully over, employers will return to paying workers in cash and the workers will buy their own insurance again, just like they do for their cars, homes, and motorcycles.
And you're proposing using poor people to feed animals, right? Or maybe return to slavery? In short, stop making strawmen.
The irony - it burns.
But, if you must know, I believe people can organize much better in small units, because perfect information is a myth of conceit, and nobody can plan the economy of an entire world, or even 10% of a world without causing disastrous outcomes (though usually only for people who "don't matter").
It's too bad we can't power the economy with hubris, though - there's plenty of that in the seats of power.
How can the person in charge of printing money be counterfeiting money when they are authorized to print more?
Because the Federal Reserve Act is in violation of Article 1 Sections 8 and 10 of the US Constitution.
Though most of the easing isn't in printed money anyway, right?
At this point, the US Dollar is a digital currency, and the printed bills are just a placeholder for them. They can easily shred a million bills (and do) without reducing the money supply by $1.
How is this marked insightful when all the points made are the exact opposite of reality?
Because it fellates the power class with their woo-woo economics. He champions the ruin of local economies by calling a net transfer of wealth to Wall Street "putting the money to work" (as if local business loans by local banks was *a bad thing*) and makes the base assumption that wages keep up with inflation while ignoring massive unemployment, probably by using politically-manipulated data.
Because, everybody knows the big banks are the ones who are hurting in this crisis! Give me a break. Obvious shill is obvious.
Surprising - our State doesn't extract taxes on sales here in NH, but so many of my friends have Prime. We use it to replace driving. I can get a package overnight for what gas costs to go to the local urban sprawl and do other things with my time. Plus, if you need anything odd, the local & big box stores rarely have it. Yeah, the local store will order it for you if you have two weeks to wait, but to do that you have to go there and not find it in the first place.
Prime is for the people that must have what they bought now. Whatever happened to delaying gratification?
You don't go to stores? Prime is to replace driving to do store shopping, not getting a book you will read next month. Need an odd concrete anchor bolt you can't find at the little hardware store or Home Depot? Just get it on Amazon and save the hour and a half drive to the specialty concrete yard
Our washing machine died, and I paid $4 to have the part here the very next day. Sears was a week plus shipping and double the price. What benefit would I have gained by waiting a week to fix the washer?
There are also some meds that are available there marked for farm animals and not for pets (some regulators have gotten to them). If you've ever gotten through a science lab class, you'll have no trouble looking up the proper dosing for pets and determining the correct dose. Just don't be an idiot and mix up your units - you can save a few thousand bucks but if you can't do science math, don't lose your pet over it. And, no, they don't put dog poison in cow meds - it doesn't work that way (sorry, Internet trolls).
Does the goofy interface really do that page refresh thing? I suppose the only people who are using it are those who weren't here when it was introduced.
I found it an absolute nightmare, and I code in C++.
Well, thar's 'yer problem.
It's been a decade since I've done any Objective-C, but, coming from a C++ background, among others, the advice I found useful was to think of it as a way to get C to do smalltalk, not a way to add message passing to C++.
I forget why, but I do remember that the IBM JIT JRE for the Treo 650 was the cat's pajamas in 2004. I certainly wasn't using it for games, maybe a mail app?
This was before cheap OpenGL silicon, so the visuals were ugly, but k9mail really isn't much different 10 years later.
If Opera was better than Chrome with Presto, it could be better with Blink
Just this. It seems unlikely that Opera could not, in theory, implement all of the things its users loved on top of Chrome.
But when we see them dumping their rendering engine developers instead of setting them out to do this, we know that they have cash-flow issues, and apparently they're going to follow the death-march pattern that so many managers seem to choose when faced with such problems.
Is this due to webkit specific markup or missing features KHTML side?
It's typically missing features and unresolved bugs on the KHTML side.
Have an example page we can examine to see where the issue lies?
He wasn't filing a bug report, just remarking that KHTML tends to be less useful on [admittedly, foolishly magazine-imitating] popular websites. KHTML simply can't compete on resources with Google and Apple (despite their current status, they put a lot into WebKit). Kudos to the Konqueror team for making their rendering engine pluggable, though!
Truly, Opera is the Eudora of the web browser world.
I was thinking the same thing. The only difference being that if you're still using a mail client compliant with 10-year-old standards, you're doing just fine. The old-Opera users will die off much faster than the old-Eudora users.

Ah yes, a currency based on wasting electricity makes sense.
What sort of currency does not require energy to create? Include all individuals required in ancillary roles for any given currency in your answer.
Somebody invariably said we're only 10% of the market - they can get rid of us and make mint on the other 90% of the market.
How bad is it? Can this be fixed with a user stylesheet, or have they gone full-retard?

I can't download the latest firmware for the MSM466 Wireless Access Point without a contract
Good to know. I'd have to be dragged kicking and screaming away from OpenWRT myself, and not because of the price.

To be fair, this was probably a Moto and not a Google issue.
Until this announcement, Motorola Mobility has been a Google company.
