Not just cattle, but chickens are also fed antibiotics from the day they hatch. That way they grow faster and breed resistant bacteria. They have found bacteria in the human population that were resistant to antibiotics not yet approved for humans.
The gain for the farmers is small, but measurable. The cost to the population as a whole is huge, but few people seem to care.
And I agree, antibiotic soap isn't much of a problem.
Does the phrase "waiver process" in the context of US Govt. bring forth visions of simplicity dancing in your head?
Actually it did. I work for a state government. Sure the rules we get to "save money" cost us a fortune, but some wavers are easy to get and some hard. You can't tell from this memo, but I guessed this one would be easy.
I still think it's lame, especially after the NSA was told not the help Linux security in the name of a free market.
I'm sure there's a number of "gray hats" that don't release the info about a security problem until after a suitable time period has passed and the company has either not responded or is not being speedy enough in issuing a patch.
Actually, they consider them white hats (as do I). In the side bar for white hats read:
Information handling: Works with software companies to resolve vulnerabilities; won't announce vulnerabilities until company is ready or found to be unresponsive.
But *YOU* still have to tell *YOUR* laptop/whatever to search for the open WAPs, right?
From what I hear it's the default in Windows to associate and DHCP with any access point on your channel if you never both to set your SSID (a common but foolish practice). I once read an interview with someone from Microsoft saying how he and Bill Gates used someones network without their knowledge. I wish I could find that link.
You didn't include the cost of the phone staff explaining master vs. slave, etc. People costs are often higher than equipment costs. Also, 5% is pretty large considering the tight margins and heavy competition.
I'm still not happy about the drop. At home, I'll buy the one year drives, but at work I'll probably try to switch brands to someone with a three year default.

I've seen corn starch sold as "Liquid Solid". It really is a lot of fun to play with if you get the water ratio just right.
Don't tell me people still believe the hype. The Segway has to compete against bicycles, roller skates, and skateboards. I've never seen why it has enough of an advantage to make up for it's price and maintenance costs.
IMHO, the whole thing was a way to get some money out of investors.
I had a coworker who at a previous job used to use a hand crank electrostatic device to zap things they sent back for repair. The only used it if there were intermittent problems. Static leaves no visible marks.
Another coworker could have used that last month. He sent a board back and they claimed it was fine. He had to waste even more time to figure out that it only failed if you flexed it a certain way (bad solder). It always failed when you mounted it, but the tester at the factory never did. Too bad we didn't have a way to zap it.
In the US it is explicitly illegal to use the computer services of a system that you do not have permission to be in.
I'm not sure this is true, but I'll assume it is. You should undersand that he didn't do this, not even accidentally. He didn't use any computer system other than his own laptop.
You'd know that if you RTFA.
They'd have to pay the $50k (or higher) one-time fee, because there's no way they could to count Winamp decoders. Either that, or they haven't received a cease and desist letter yet.
The article also says that an 800 number or a website could have been defined as proper disclosure, but the FEC chose no disclosure. The summary says they voted to allow SMS ads with no disclosure. Sounds like a fair summary to me.
This is a serious problem in a country were most political ads are negative. If you get an SMS that you think is an unfair attack ad, it would help to know who sent it. I never vote for someone who uses attack ads, even if it means skipping a ballet line.
I don't care who paid for a bumper sticker or button, unless it appears on my car or shirt without my concent.
You are right that "active domains" is a more accurate pictures, but what I found most interesting is that Microsoft actually lost sites under active domains, while Apache picked up almost twice that loss.
I hate misleading catchy titles too. Slashdot is almost as bad as the tech section on abcnews.com.
Software would then modulate the CD-R's laser in a manner similar to a CD writer.
They claim it works on CD-ROM drives, so it can't be that. It probably transmits data from computer to CD by looking at what track/block is being read (yes I know there's only one track).
The whole thing sounds like vaporware. The website flashy, but lacking in technical detail. It's probably just fishing for VC.
In the end, I doubt they could produces these smart cds for less than a dolar each, and that's a huge cost for most companies. Those that use dongles now, might buy into this, but it doesn't provide any more protection.
Just find your webserver and configure it to check the referer field and enforce your policy. If it means enough to you to have a policy (and sue), why not enforce it? This was brought up during some of these court cases. To me, that should have reduced any damage claims to zero, but it didn't.
I agree and would like to add that A) the media is overwhelmingly owned and run by conservitives, and B) the concept of conservitism today is so dilute that it's practically fucking meaningless,
I'm not really sure what your point was, but if you had one, you should be able to understand mine.
Is Donahue a liberal or a conservitive in this story? The question is just plain silly. Those who want to censor what they find immoral are almost equally split between the left and the right.
People seem to have a very hard time seporating numbers from their representations. I used to teach a course on computer representation (int, float, machine language).
I used to start one lecture by writing the numeral five on the board and explaining it wasn't five. Just a representation of five. Maybe I should have started with "cat". People don't that the letters C-A-T aren't a cat.
It took most people a while to understand (long office hours). Some people never understood the difference. They got really lost when I got to 1's and 2's complement.
The title of the article states that it's an amateur search. I can't see why a professional would bother. It's entirely unique to beings with 10 fingers and doesn't exsist in Plato's world of numbers.
Kind of like when the date and time was
20/02/2002 20:02. It's kind of cool, but just an artifact of how Americas represent dates and times.
I haven't seen a new phone without vibrate in a long time.
You must be looking at much more expensive phones than most people buy. I haven't seen a cell phone that comes with vibrate in my price range.
My ringer's volume is just low enough that sometimes I don't reallize it is ringing right away. Few other people hear it, unless I pull it out. I've even learned to pull it out and open it between rings. It's almost as good a virbrate.
I think the main benfit to this mower having an internet connection, is that it gets more press that way. As far as I can tell that's the only reason Slashdot covered it, since automated mowers are old news.
IANAL, but I don't see how the level of [in]security matters. From the origional article:
she added that the presence of a disclaimer screen, which warned users of the site that it was only intended for the personal use of the applicant, made Princeton officials' use of the site vulnerable to a lawsuit or even criminal charges.
Laws are no use; when spam is outlawed, only outlaws will spam.
Actually, that's why I want laws. Laws are useful, because most spammers believe what they do is both moral and legal. They are hard to stop because there aren't many clear laws. Personally, I think evading spam filters is equivalent to computer trespassing, but I doubt the courts will agree without a law stating that.
When I get spammed by a legit place, I can stop doing business with them (Walgreens, TigerDirect, HotWired, Apple, Microsoft).
I also own a Inspiron 8100, and was very happy when I found that Dell has docs telling you exactly how to take it apart. They must consider it user serviceable.

Am I just jaded or is a 9-inch-square chamber not much of a big deal to find on a 8-inch square shaft?

Typos are mine. The source is a gif.
I notice the web site says they will charge your credit card even though they don't have any to sell yet. I certainly wouldn't agree to that.
