Each of these accidents have defined causes, and the resulting fires are not unreasonable based on the cause. Puncturing a battery with tons of force might just cause a fire. These are not spontaneously combusting. No one was hurt, even the guy that crashed in Mexico. Investigate away, but there really is nothing to see here.
The upside is that I can afford more stock now.
In a 2004 study on this very subject, it was determined that the mean latency period for thyroid cancer to appear after radiation exposure was over 30 years. Some appear sooner, of course, but many appeared much later than that. What is the point of this report? At best, the proclamation of not causing any noticeable immediate harm is premature. But saying that the exposure is "unlikely to be able to attribute any health effects in the future" borders on irresponsible, and seems driven by an agenda.
"The Los Angeles Times web site also crashed soon after it broke the news of Jackson's death."
It was actually TMZ.com that "broke" the news, many minutes before anyone else. The other news sites waited until someone they considered "legitimate" reported it before accepting it as fact. I guess they were trying to avoid a "Dewey defeats Truman" moment...
I think it's awesome that Uma Thurman is working to discover new lemur species. She's a great actress of course, but her work with lemurs adds a dimension to her that I was completely unaware of. Recognizing John Cleese's contributions was really sweet as well.
With resources available to spend time on these actions, it makes me glad the war on terror must now be over, and the world is free from thugs like Osama Bin Laden and...oh wait
Homer : I suppose you want to probe me. Well, you might as well get it over with. Aliens : Stop! We have reached the limits of what rectal probing can teach us.
It turns out the only scans for 3127 I'm getting are from my ISP. My firewall log shows they appear to be scanning all of 312x. At least I don't have to worry about securing my machine now. It looks like they've got it covered.
As far as knowing people being the most important thing, my experience says that this can't be more true. There is one guy that I know that has presented opportunities to me on two separate occasions, 8 years apart. Both of them resulted in much better jobs than I had before, both higher paying and more interesting. Without this guy, I don't where I'd be now. My experience, personality and other circumstances took me from the interview to the paycheck, but it was entirely from knowing him that I became aware of the jobs in the first place. The funny thing is, he's not even involved in IT. He just knew when the companies were looking, and I was the first person he called. What a pal!
I've had to help him move a few times now, though...
This is the same thing AOL IM has been doing for years. Microsoft is just late to the protocol switching party. Just as AOL constantly tried to break Trillian, GAIM and the rest by tweaking the Oscar protocol, Microsoft is finally doing the same. I think it's unfortunate from an interoperability point of view, because who likes running 3 or more different clients to chat? It's pretty darn annoying, but not at all suprising.
As an IT manager that handles the recommendation and purchasing of all computer equipment and peripherals in my company, that's the best I can do in this case, I think. And you can bet your ass that I'm going to. Lexmark will never be purchased by my company, or by anyone I can sway into agreeing with me that this is an evil practice that needs to be stopped. It may not make a difference, but I'll feel better about it.
"The football is pretty much getting fumbled," Johnson said. "We and other carriers are putting the football up in the air. It's getting caught in the other end, but the guy isn't holding on to it or is not knowing what to do with it."
So the Internet is like a football game? Well that explains it. I think I'll go over to the Budweiser site, pay 800 Flooz for a beer, and wait this problem out.
In March of '96, my company flew me to Chicago for a week on business. The first night I was there, one of my co-workers showed me around town. I saw the sights, and quite a few bars. We were staying at the Omni Ambassador East Hotel, so our last stop of the night was the Pump Room, the hotel restaurant and bar. We ordered some glasses of Cabernet at the bar, and settled down to discuss the agenda for the following day. As we were speaking, two gentleman and and a few ladies came in and took positions on bar stools very nearby to me. I looked over and recognized Mr. Entwhistle. After talking with my friend about the star-sighting, I asked the bartender what he was drinking, and if he would mind if I bought him one. She said she'd ask. A couple of minutes later, she stopped near him and motioned towards me. He looked over, I nodded my head and smiled, and he nodded back. He accepted the drink, and continued speaking with his friends. Being totally hammered from drinking all night, I thought that was pretty cool. A nod from a legendary rock star. Wow! A few more minutes passed, and we decided that we should probably get some sleep, since we actually had to work the next day. With my alcohol-soaked balls-of-steel, I took a pen and a "Pump Room" bar napkin and approached him. "Mr. Entwhistle?" I said. He looked at me with a bemused expression. "Yes?" he said. "I would like to thank you for the great music you and your band have put out over the years, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Could I please get your autograph?" I proferred him the pen and bar-nap. He took them, signed his name, and returned them to me. "Thank you very much," I said. "Quite alright," he replied. With that, my co-worker and I returned to our rooms, and passed out.
The Who was supposed to play here (LA) in 2 days. It is a great loss to the fans of the band in particular, and to Rock and Roll in general. Mr. Entwhistle was a class act. Thanks for the memories.

Of course! Canadians must be exempt from the application of decency and fairness. That explains it. Thanks Derek.
