I think this has theoretical implications for how game theory scales - this is the scaled up version of the prisoner's dilemma, and I believe it has a different outcome for the players.
Set up a GUID field in a table, with a timestamp and a username
1. hash the md5(table+key) 2. check for a lock 3. insert a lock if it doesn't exist. 4. have ajax check, and pop up a div with partial alpha to make the record readable, but an obvious visual cue that it is locked.
OR, add the lock field to the table itself, and you can just do an Update where lock is null, and then check and see if you got the lock.
As a family caretaker of a U.S. Veteran (Vietnam and Iraq Round 1) who passed away from ALS, while under the care of the VA - I have to say that they really busted their butts to make sure he had all the assistance and medical care possible. They even called intermittently with questions about his service history to attempt to find out WHY so many people in his situation developed ALS.
I have to say, for all the problems people have had with the VA they took care of Jim. He had everything from his medications to a IPAP, oxygen, even a hospital bed delivered and set up here at the house.
Given the extremely bizarre nature of the disease, and that no-one clearly understands its causes, they did a damn fine job of trying to figure out what was wrong and making sure he had ample medical care.
If you coated a retainer with the visual surface, it would then attach to the teeth, and you could see by pressing the tounge to the roof of the mouth... or drop the tongue to speak/drink (not sure about eating, do you normally take out the retainer?)
Pensacola, Florida (specifically Santa Maria de Galve, pre Pensacola) was founded on a bunch of rich people in Tlaxcala (forgive my spelling) mexico rounding up all the poor people and shipping them off to another country... They also discovered they then had no one around to dig the proverbial ditch.
Standing in your front yard on a heavily trafficed school area (just inside your property from a sidewalk) is also not in itself criminal behavior - but similarly controlled.
I'm a USAA member, and I know for a fact that many USAA members have needs above and beyond a "normal bank" customer. Imagine trying to buy a new car in Florida when you are deployed to Iraq. Think of how difficult it is to have both of your signatures on one sheet of paper... its not a big example, but it is the kind of thing you run into.
Think about this, I once worked in an on-base video rental store - we had a guy rent a movie and then get orders that night to deploy... the computer just kept racking up late fees, even automatically reporting to his CO (also deployed) - we cleared it up after a month or two, once someone noticed.
Military situations are just plain different.

Make it sound all cool for they layman, but then qualify it with "This turned the aluminium nearly invisible to extreme ultraviolet radiation. " - so, transparent - sorta.
Still cool and all, but you won't be savin' no whales any time soon.
Actually, I was thinking more on the reverse side, the cost to the economy, not the "boon" . I should have changed that to "contributed to the economic collapse and/or slowed recovery"
I mean, imagine Citizen Kane without violence and breasts... it wouldn't be the masterpiece compared to House of 1000 corpses. I agree more boobies and dismemberment should be in every film to bring it to a mature stage. OH! I get it, he's saying Botticelli boobies == art... and those Medieval frescos of battle. Got it.
Something is Art because it expresses some emotion rooted in the human experience that causes a cathartic reaction in the observer, or some reaction (yeah, I suppose confusion counts)... kind of like a very convoluted form of conversation between an artist and an observer.
Boobies are just boobies, death is death, violence is violence and has no relevency to whether something is art or not. But the absense of Boobies != absense of Art.
So legitimate users in Iran or China might be able to hook into a darknet that has a portal to the real world outside? Kinda like good old packet HAM radio used to.
Anyone have an Erlang background, or some low level C or similar experience and live in the Chicago area (we're just south of the Loop)
I'm actively involved in a startup that is developing a large project in Erlang, looking for some additional folks to add to our team.
It's problematic trying to find people with the right skillset, since it isn't just "Erlang" we're looking for - its the general high-volume, high-availability skillset and a deep interest in learning Erlang. I didn't even know much about it before the project. So, fire away on the resumes:
At the worst: Go up on Monday, stay @ office, back on tuesday.. repeat Thurs/Fri
Distance: ~ 2h by car roughly same by train - about ~300 miles
Train: 2 round trip tickets $16-$21
so: 10 gallons of gas @2.50 = 25.00 / week
parking: $30-ish
oil changes: $20 after 5 weeks (3000 miles). $4/week
Train: max $21/week
Car: min $59/week if gas doesn't go up
traffic jams also increase expense, as do traffic tickets. so allow an extra $5 for traffic variability and you're at $64/week for a car that you have to worry about getting stolen or broken into.
$38/week * 50 weeks = save about $1900.00
plus I get amtrack rewards points I can use on tickets. (I could go 3 weeks for nothing right now)
Are there symbiotic relationships between the flu and pneumonia (or other) bacteria - where they travel together. This would allow the flu to break down the guard, bacteria to move in - and then both to be spread by the next sneeze or nose-wipe-doorhandle-grab.
Zombies. well, not zombies exactly - but I can imagine a scifi book where they use a centralized bot brain to animate vegetative-state or newly-corpses for slave labor.
So, could you say that a network is a hologram, which is why its perceived value changes based on the point you occupy with in it? It was the "edge of the network" statement that drew up that whole universe-as-hologram thing.
So conceivably, you could have patterns of heat moving through a large mountain, or a lake, or a large gas field in space, constituting a conscious intelligence.... hrm.

You're stuck.. Thats part of the reason.
Standing in your front yard on a heavily trafficed school area (just inside your property from a sidewalk) is also not in itself criminal behavior - but similarly controlled.

Ok.. my father-in-law died from ALS (Lou Gherig's disease) - I wonder if this might be relevant in the nerve death suffered there.

Makes me wonder how much the latest crop of "storms" like Conficker have contributed to the economy?

geez - 300 miles one TRIP - so 600 miles a week, gas is actually twice that.... which puts me into the $50-60 saved. arg, MATHs - teh hard!

Distance: ~ 2h by car roughly same by train - about ~300 miles

Now the crackdown begins.

I hereby unpatent adding algefarin to toothpaste to reduce bacterial films in plaque and tartar. hah - take that.
And into this mess the democratic revolution was born. Interesting, climate change leads to social change. (see James Burke's "After the warming")
what will we do when these "tubes" become clogged, and we can't get our email?
