If you are at a practice which uses SystmOne (yeah, thats not a typo, there really isn't an e in Systm) then ask your practice to add these codes to your notes: XaZ89, XaaVL.
Interesting that someone didnt like that - why didnt you like it? What was wrong with it? Are you unaware of the sectarian violence in Northern Ireland? Are you unaware of the Orangemen marches, and their symbolisms? Why those marches are banned from going through certain areas? The Apprentice Boys?
You do realise that "The Troubles" covers a much broader conflict than that between the IRA and the British Government, right? That there is massive discourse between many protestant and catholic groups in NI? How about the Holy Cross school dispute? The bricks, fireworks and other things thrown at catholic children as they arrived at school in a protestant area in 2001 and 2002? The fact that those school children had to be escorted to school by British soldiers?
So why the down vote? Does it sit uncomfortably with you?
C#/VBV.Net - Even with MS opening up things.. "It's a trap"/Ackbar
I would love for some Star Wars fixated Slashdot geeks to explain just how the current situation and plans are "a trap"? I've developed on the.Net platform for the past 7 years, I've not been trapped yet - MS hasn't attempted to gain control of my code, hasn't limited where I can deploy, hasn't told me off for deploying MS libraries on non-MS platforms etc etc.
Today, I have a choice of multiple front end web frameworks competing with the MS offerings on the.Net platform but not one of them has suffered ire from MS for that competition.
Meanwhile, Java, the once golden child of Slashdot, has gone from a high point of being GPLed, to rapidly becoming something that you are told to avoid on this here site.
So where is this trap that Slashdotters have been shouting loudly about for the past decade?
Uh, no, thats not the point people are trying to make when they talk about buggy whip manufacturers, as in many cases its put across as a far more course argument - "buggy whip manufacturers went away because no one wanted their product", and yet the modern examples that buggy whip makers are used for, the products are still massively in demand...
You assume I'm talking about the IRA, I was not - I'm talking about the car bombings, attacks, beatings, fire bombings etc etc etc that went on between the Northern Irish protestant and catholic populations during that same period.
Look it up, its a *very* interesting period for many reasons. The IRA is certainly the fore runner in most peoples minds, but it wasnt the only thing going on in the area at the time.
Node.js is also seeing a lot of use as a tool set provider for other build environments - see Grunt and Gulp, both need Node.js to function. You don't see PHP as that diverse in use.
Yes, its a pity Scotland didn't manage to leave - Salmonds plans would be right down the shitter at the moment as his entire fiscal policy was based on North Sea oil and gas income, which has just been completely slashed for the forseeable future. Losing Scotland would have been worth it to see him try and talk his way out of that.
We all know that's not the goal, so stop going for the cheap mod points.
If you stop people being able to do something legally, then the vast majority of law abiding people stop doing it. Hand guns were de-legalised back in the 1990s, and hand gun ownership dropped dramatically - so now its easy to make a judgement call as to whether than gun you found on that teenager with a hoodie is actually legitimate or not, without having to go through a license check etc. So it makes it easier, and less time consuming, for the police to remove guns from those who shouldn't be in ownership of them.
We have seen it a lot with various things over the years - mobile phone use in cars, smoking in enclosed public places, various "legal" highs etc etc.
The same thinking goes for encryption - allow only government approved encryption for the law abiding and when you come across a message which uses non-approved encryption then it has a higher likelihood of being related to something the police would be interested in rather than just Auntie Gene's shopping list shes sending her son.
Note - I don't agree with the sentiment, but the thinking is sound.
The UK went through 40 years of serious terrorism perpetuated by protestant and catholic Christians, and yet throughout that entire period we never blamed the religion as a whole.
The alternative offered later this year is either Milliband or Farage - or, god forbid, Alex Salmond if the SNP does win enough seats across the UK to affect the outcome.
There are much worse options than Cameron currently in contention.
People use the buggy whip as an example because some inane person mentioned it on Slashdot a billion years ago and people have co-opted it since then for ridiculous arguments that make no sense - buggy whip makers went out of business because there was no longer a mass market for their product, not for any other reason. Buggy whip makers went on to make other things, they didn't die a horrible starving death because one of their products went away.
We were recently looking for a new developer and thus put out the feelers - the number of Indian applications we got via agencies was high, but what was more surprising was the number of those applicants who were able to get multiple degrees in the subject from Indian universities in less time than it would take to achieve one degree in a western university (we are talking 2 degrees in a 2 year timespan, when one degree in the UK typically takes 3 years). Now why would that ring warning bells?
Oh, and the number of applicants rejected out of hand because they had "qualifications" from a London based college which is trivial to link to massive visa fraud through quick Googling...
I will probably come across as massively racist, but it would take some convincing in order for me to hire an Indian immigrant into an IT position.
You really need to go read various accident reports and accident investigation guidelines and stop relying on Wikipedia just like you say, because it is so seriously poor at shit like this its unbelievable.
I also never said "a perfectly flyable aircraft crashing" is always CFIT, but it is when the pilots fly the aircraft into the ground for whatever reason - which is precisely what happened with AF447. The crew never believed they were not in control, they just ignored a lot of the data they were seeing because they thought it was wrong and that they knew better. And thus the aircraft hit the ground because of the actions of the pilots and not because of any other reason.
AF447 was controlled flight, the pilots were in complete control for the entire time, there was no departure from pilot command at any time during the flight. There was no mechanical failure which caused the aircraft from being uncontrollable.
That makes it CFIT within the meaning defined by accident investigators. The aerodynamic stall was created by the pilot-flying action, and could have corrected the issue at any point, but did not. The aircraft was not in a situation where command input would not have been able to control the aircraft, so definitely a CFIT.
The FDR usually gives the "how", the CVR typically fills in the "why".
The FDR gave us a Controlled Flight Into Terrain in the AF447 crash, the CVR told us the crew were completely confused as to what was going on and didn't perform the correct procedures.
The CVR also records other sounds in the cockpit, and has been used many times to determine if certain actions were performed, identifying if the failure was mechanical or human error - for example, in one case a plane that overrun the runway on landing in bad weather because the pilots failed to arm the spoilers, which was determined through the lack of arming sound on the CVR.
Patents are whatever the owning country decides they are to it - poke the bear and the bear probably won't take kindly. Just how well will your country work without access to the international banking system?
Boeings supersonic aircraft products are limited to the F-15 and F-18, both of which came from the McDonnell Douglas merger and not Boeing themselves.
They haven't produced a new supersonic aircraft since acquiring McDonnell Douglas either.
Boeings in-house military background is solidly sub-sonic. Tankers, bombers, ELINT, maritime patrol etc etc. They tried and failed badly at the JSF contract, building an aircraft which couldn't hover without being over a hover pan, nor without a good portion of its bodywork removed specifically for the test. Which means they couldn't do a hover and a supersonic dash in the same demo - while Lockheeds example could.
You realise that Mandela was a heavily involved member of the ANC, which was a very large terrorist organisation right up until they took power in the 1990s? They had huge backing from international parties opposed to apartheid, and carried out a large number of bombings and rocket attacks between 1970 and 1990.
And yet they are today seen as clean as fresh snow...
BA would never have sold them to VA even if they weren't in competition with them, because they had spent a good few decades heavily linking the idea of excellence, British Airways and the Concorde in the British public's mind - they weren't about to hand that off to another airline, any other airline.
As for selling just the aircraft, Branson would never have gone for that because it wasn't the aircraft he wanted - he would have just used it as negative PR against BA.
British Airways made more money from selling off the Concorde spares catalogue than it cost them to send the airplanes to their final destinations - and lets not forget that many of those flights had paying customers on them (retirement flights were sold as one time things).
