I agree. I actually did some studying on Zoroastrianism many years ago. The basic duality is the conflict between good (Ahura Mazda) and evil (Angra Mainyu). It is the conflict between creation/destruction, order/chaos. Due to its antiquity and location (Persia) Zoroastrianism has influenced modern Judeo-Christian religions (duality of God/Satan, the halo, etc).
The guy who ran eToys went on to one of those hazy umbrella companies, The Parent Company. Judging from its stock performance it is headed the same way eToys did. Though looking at this brand they run (hawking $47,000 playsets for toddlers and their more-money-than-brains parents) I say crash and burn.
From TFA...
It looks for running in the cabin This should catch the kids
standing near the cockpit for long periods of time This should catch the flight crew and people using the forward bathrooms
...person nervously touching their face Should catch the nervous fliers and people with dry skin
...or sweating excessively This should catch the other nervous fliers, the over dressed, the over weight, and the folks without working air vents
God help you if you are a nervous, fat, hyperactive kid who has to use the bathroom.
Sort of how the security guards at one place I worked at (a DoD lab) started using the employee database to look up cute female employees and make personal remarks to them out of the blue or even call them at home.
I hope I don't get arrested for that panicky "Oh my god I'm going to explode" face I get when I need to use the bathroom and they are about to take off or the damn cart is blocking the aisle.
Yes, yes it does. So if they burnt down someone's business they should get the same punishment as if they burnt down an abandoned shack in the woods? They may be clever enough to turn off the fire alarm so they lets them off the hook?
Excuse me but after seeing Rachel Ray in her Hamas video (don't tell me it was a scarf!) it is critical that we watch for 5th column terrorists everywhere. Fox News and all the other right-wing nut jobs told me so.
Excuse me while I listen to Barry Goldwater rolling in his grave.
Since when did vandalism and theft become terrorism? The definition of terrorism has become so wide and vauge that anything that affects a group of people gets the terrorism lable slapped on it. It is like how the definitions of addiction or sex crime have become catch-all nets. Terrorism is a violent act intended to cause intimidation to achieve a goal. These kids just wanted to show off and feel powerful. I have no sympathy for them or their obnoxious, selfrightious attitudes but they aren't terrorists.
From a business perspective there is something to be said for older languages.
1. They have highly experienced developers that are widely available. 2. Apps written in them are generally older and have been time-tested and are reliable. 3. The language and its behavior is well understood and is well honed. 4. Many libraries are available
Changing to the latest and greatest language demands that you have a damn good reason. Hopefully you just have to port an existing app but you'll have to start all over with QA testing, security analysis, etc. Usually the reasons for changing are:
1. The pool of developers for that language has gotten too small to continue development and/or maintenance. 2. Hardware changes demand it. 3. The performance gain from changing is too big to ignore. 4. Compatability reasons with other apps, major customers, etc.
Making a programmer feel cutting edge isn't a good reason.
I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's
where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after
committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly
looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father
rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And
they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the
bench next to me.
Bingo. You are not alone in this world and you can do everything right with your pc and still suffer from the problems caused by others who are less knowledgable and not careful. Their machines will pump out the spam and their web servers will be comprimised. It is just like being a extra careful and considerate driver keeping an eye on your own driving. It still won't protect you 100% from the distracted, reckless and careless drivers in this world.
Soon they'll be adding strings to it and then connecting those strings to an amplifier. Then the screen will show a series of, lets call them "notes", that correspond to specific hand positions on the strings.
One way the risk of hiring is mitigated is by hiring on a contractual basis or probationary period to start. If someone has a personality issue it'll rear its ugly head soon enough.
Multiple generations do not automatically lead to cancerous cells. The normal end path for cells is apoptosis (planned death). Cancer is a series of specific genetic changes in a cell. It is not "hastened cell death", it is actually uncontrolled cellular division, along with invasion of neighboring tissues and metastasis. Abnormal blood vessel growth also appears in tumors. Something can cause cellular death without causing cancer (e.g. cyanide, thallium, yersinia pestis, etc).
The link to cancer (or aging) and telomeres has not been definitively proven. The theory however is cancerous cells stop their telomeres from getting shorter via telomerase allowing them to become immortal and that if the telomere becomes too short the cell undergoes apoptosis (aging).
Not exactly. A carcinogen like benzene works differently than a nanofiber like asbestos or carbon tubes. Benzene's affect is purely chemical. Asbestos (and nanotubes) cause damage through physical damage. One mechanism is when the fibers are longer than about 17 microns and are too long for white blood cells to envelop (frustrated phagocytosis). Because the fibers can work their way into lung tissue these fibers form a constant source of inflammation and scarring. Another is the fibers can spear individual cells and cause them to leak and physically interfere with chromosome function. It is worth being careful.
I knew an old timer who used to work in a ship yard. I asked him "If construction is such hard, physical work why do I see so many fat guys doing it?". His answer, "As soon as the day is over those guys do nothing but pound down beer."
No matter what the job is you can't get away with a lousy diet.

No problem, his next research program can be into liquid metal fast breeder reactors.
You fools, you are all wrong. The truth is that we live IN the hollow earth!

Maybe they just need to dust off their credit card.
You are right about the restaurant. The Boston Globe had an article a while back about the real Alice who now lives in Provincetown MA and does art. She did open a restaurant and it was in an old church but she denies sleeping around like in the movie.
I guess that is why they passed this law.
Damn, I posted before scrolling down. Didn't know there were so many Arlo Guthrie fans here.

Let's see them get around THE POWER SWITCH! Ha! Of course it creates usability issues but my security is unbreakable.
Soon they'll be adding strings to it and then connecting those strings to an amplifier. Then the screen will show a series of, lets call them "notes", that correspond to specific hand positions on the strings.

Maybe you need to focus on tightening your hiring process.
