"heaviest toll in young adults." Remember this was mentioned in a lecture I attended on the Spanish flu too. Something about the complications of too strong a reaction to infection. Sort of the opposite of the very young and very old who die from compromised immunity.
If the deaths are all in Mexico (are they still), doesn't that say something about the crappy public health and medical facilities in Mexico as much as it does the lethality of the virus? And the NYT article says they are still evaluating the effectiveness of current flu shots, so this might not be the end of the world.
My first "experience" with linux was when it killed the Mark Williams Coherent unix clone I had been playing with for about four years. It seemed like they were on a roll. Graphical user interface was in play and they had deals with Lotus and WordPerfect -- _the_ spreadsheet and word processor at the time.
And then they folded around the end of '95. How do you compete with free? Coherent should be recognized as the first OS that linux destroyed in the marketplace.
I went full-immersion at home in '01. Red Hat and then Debian. The Coherent experience certainly helped even if dial-up UUCP was a thing of the past.
I remember a "record rental" store by our Big 10 U. They lasted a few months before they got squashed. Which is basically to say that this stuff is ancient and isn't a very viable business model.
That way they won't get away with playing nice long enough to get reelected.
Nonsense. Republicans=gas and oil. Democrats=Hollywood. The industrious can look up how many times I've said that on various blogs and I stand by it. Even the Most Holy Saint Wellstone wrote that the DMCA was the right thing to do and he'd do it again when I wrote him that it was crazy that it should be a federal offense to play a legally purchased DVD on a linux machine.
On the plus side, if higher ed melted down to a puddle, it could get back to its personal roots, "Oh, you contributed _that_ paper to Dr. X's blog? Sure, we could use some help at our lab this year."
My freshman soc prof told us how _not_ to do research if we wanted to get published. I think the book was called the Lavender Tea Room if I remember. Guy hung out at public restrooms, took down license plates, got their address and then went door-to-door surveying. "Hello, sir. Wife? Kids? Occupation?" Discovered that a surprising number of regular family guys will stop by the restroom for a quick blow on the way to work. Sociologically interesting but no way that book was going to get distributed even without releasing subject names.
It's tempting from an elitist Northern perspective to say that Kentucky is populated with depressed, beaten-down white trash, but South Dakota is a pretty red state, North Dakota is a nominally red state, as is rural Minnesota and Minnesota is no model of social equality.
"Great Gatsby syndrome"? We people out here in the upper Midwest still believe the American dream can come true? Whether that's noble or we just haven't gotten the news yet is another question.
Maybe it's the Norwegian, Swedish, German heritage? I've been quite taken by the book "Deer Hunting with Jesus" and he emphasizes the point that a lot of the "underclass" of America are Scotch-Irish and they have a unique heritage.
I had a couple palmer warts from about 16 years old that were big enough that they were annoying and I would pick at them. Disappeared after about a year of macrobiotics and intensive aerobics around 31 that I got into for some other issues. Not that many years from 60, less macrobiotics and fitness and probably with a lesser immune system, I can see some return of the original sites, but greatly reduced and too small to be annoying.
Don't know about ESS but I understand a lot of these machines have been Windows 2000 and Access. Why assume they went to any more trouble junking the hardware together? Just another example of the private sector making a Holy profit, you know.
My greater interest is statistical. How much "drifting" has been for the incumbent in recent years and what are the odds it was chance?
One of the "how to start a business" books I read a long time ago basically suggested, "You see an idea you like, manufacture it and work out the details later" -- which could range from a reasonable percentage of profits to bankrupting the pursuer in court costs. I don't think the latter is unknown. And what are the chances your idea could be exploited in Taiwan or the Mainland, and what are you going to do about _that_?
Sounds like poisson d'avril because good humor should have a referent, and wasn't there a push in Quebec a few years ago to try to make Chinese restaurants use French signs?
So how do the commercials for the "Wall Street School of English" I've seen on BFMTV.fr's stream go over? Typical ad, "Now and I speak English, have a job and aren't a loser anymore!"
If _only_ this were sincere, and if _only_ a teacher could sue an American school for making him choose between drinking the hemlock or exile for teaching their youth informal logic.
As people are discussing, there are computer labs and then there are "computer labs". No reason why "computer labs" shouldn't die. My library got five desktop _calculators_ when those were new in the 70s too. Be stupid today. Same thing.
Remembering adversive stimuli is provocative but it doesn't necessarily say much about consciousness.
As an aside about creatures I do think have consciousness, I was impressed that my cat cringed and looked visibly distressed when she was put on the vet's table the other weekend. Think she remembered getting her shots last _year_?
1. College professors usually peak in their fifties. Non-math obtuse things like philosophy, which is probably ethics or cognitive science these days, have traditionally been even later.
2. Read The Dumbest Generation, Bauerlein, 2008. Which is really to ask the question of what a CS major is in the work place. _Just_ a code monkey? The answer could be "yes", but just asking...
Maybe an older person should stress systems analysis, project management, or even technical writing?
Must have been well over a year ago I informed my wife that her white Prius was the most Priusy of Priuses. Can't remember the original source I saw that brought up the issue.

Altho I call it Kubuntu with XP running in QEMU....
Same here, Debian-or-less, on our two. Seems like a desperate ploy on Microsoft's part to remain competitive.

Yeah, those are the sorts performance goals I look for in a job too.
I'm sure he'll be great.
Issue rulings "just for this case". Heaven forbid it should ever establish a precedent.
I miss rule of law as a general principle.

But it's _sex_ for gosh sakes. Censoring sex is as American as apple pie and unprovoked wars of aggression.
Hungary won't change many attitudes in the U.S.

look what they came up with. "When the crocodiles feed on the hearts rejected upon the scales of Horus, blah de blah de blah...."
Don't confuse taking the time to chisel something with profundity. Even older than the pyramids are animals scraped on rocks.

The next thing you know the government will be spending money on volcano monitoring.
What could go wrong with a kid's life after they're charged as kiddie porn peddlers?
Just obviously, so much better than letting something like this slide. I guess. I mean, how do you get inside these people's minds?
As a older person, I'd note two thinks:
