I brought this up with my physician. Apparently these inconvenient side effects can actually be damaging if you have them long term, while allergens don't cause harm at all (that is the definition of an allergen). Of course, in the case of something that does cause harm, the immune response would be beneficial, but it's hard to tell the difference. In the case of someone with allergies, it's just the fact that in >95% of cases the problem is just allergy and it's beneficial to suppress the reaction.
Let the one who has never missed a deadline throw the first stone...
Large healthcare IT ventures are notoriously hard. Yes, screwups were made, but lets not stamp everyone that worked on this project into the ground. It's good to level criticism at those involved to show them we are not pleased at what was delivered, but they are humans, and despite what you believe there are plenty of hard working, smart people working at these boring and incredibly hard government projects.
Did you try searching for how to disable Chrome auto-update?
Set the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update\AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes to the REG_DWORD value of "0"
That's it. A single register value change. Now, I get what you are saying, it's not a GUI option, they don't want average users to disable it, which gives me mixed feelings as well. Many users probably have never heard of regedit. However, for someone posting on/. it shouldn't be that hard.
According to bitcoincharts.com, trading volume in the past 24h was over 540k bitcoins. Not sure what part of that is from exchanges, but I doubt 30k extra bitcoins are going to really be earth shattering. I could be wrong though, Bitcoin prices are volatile and this kind of news can affect things and cascade.
I'm from the Netherlands. Are you saying my government is spying on IBM and Microsoft? This is like being caught robbing a bank with an assault rifle, and then saying it's alright, because everyone steals something sometimes, 'Danny from down the road stole a piece of chocolate too!' or such. Newsflash for you: Most intelligence agencies spy on things that they believe are actual threats to their security. They don't go mass-intercept Facebook traffic in foreign countries of innocent people.
Now, I'm sure that intelligence agencies here do things they shouldn't do sometimes. And there are also a handful of other countries doing really shitty stuff from their intelligence agencies. I suggest we try to stop all of the wrongdoings, rather than just point and say 'they do it too!'
You know what, pay me 80 pounds and I'll give you no helmet at all: apparently it's scientifically proven to produce less head injuries than your 'more hole than helmet' ones and it provides great ventilation.
I would like to thank our American cousins for taking one for the team. In Europe we now have wonderful spring weather because you guys took all the winter cold.
Actually, the research is pretty clear on this: you can tell the difference way beyond the 'retina' definition of hardware makers, at least for some patterns.
For instance, this article combines some others pointing towards that.
Another thing of course is if that really matters, as current high resolution displays look great already, especially when using anti-aliasing techniques.
This only works because of the terrible practice of checking a user agent string to decide which version to display.
I don't get peoples purism about web development. Often browsers nominally support something but are in fact broken (ok, this used to be true more before than it is now). So why not just check if it's internet explorer looking at this site so I can fall back to an image instead of their broken gradient rendering or such. I really see nothing wrong with this. Media queries have their place, but they aren't the only tool out there, just let me decide which tools I'd like to use please. (I don't use browser detection anymore because it is seen as bad practice by people who will complain about it, but I honestly don't see why not. There are three viable browser engines left, and they all have their quirks, why not just face facts and build on that).
I would say there are much bigger issues out there, like developers outright ignoring memory usage of their website.
What's so dangerous about having executables and libraries in/var? It seems pretty common practice? (I have no particular like for qmail, but I'm curious why this part is an issue)
Nonsense, the Tulip contracts were not ratified in courts, effectively anulling them: in real documents there is not much real evidence for 'massive amounts of money lost.' Obviously I was refering to the height of the bubonic plague in Haarlem at the time that directly coincided with the crash, this wasn't the middle ages. This is well documented, I take it you can't read dutch source documents and are just reading random english blogs for your info or such?
I wonder if people who make the tulip comparison actually get what happened there. Tulips take years to grow, and can be multiplied. Suddenly a new type of tulip came into existence because of a viral interaction. A handful of rich traders (and some others trying to get in on the action) tried to corner that market, so the initial bulbs were extremely valuable. They took very large future options on them. Then at the height of the bubonic plague, the society temporarily collapsed and tulip prices went along with them. As it was mostly option contracts, they were largely not executed, so it didn't end up being a major issue. There are some lessons to learn there, but even if Bitcoin collapses, it will be completely different.
Except of course when it's perfectly fine to describe this as a bullet, there is absolutely nothing in the word bullet that requires the existence of gunpowder. Hell, bullet just means small ball by origin.

Nonetheless, you are completely right of course.

It can add clarity to always match up the exact types of left and right sides of equations and function arguments.
So for some it will be appreciated, even though you are absolutely correct that it's not necessary (assuming C).

Obviously never been married. On both advantages.

Thanks so much!
The preferred way for church leadership is to just do it with children before they are of fertile age.
I would never have posted this, but with the new /. layout coming soon, I might as well burn my karma before it gets worthless anyway.

Wow you're right, I misread that. Sorry!
Assuming you are American: you have none of those. (and neither does my own country)

If you don't want the business in Europe don't take it. Nobody forces you to sell your stuff in Germany.

Great! Lets do a 100 dollar bet: if the price at January 1st is lower than now I pay you $100, otherwise you pay me $100. You're in?
Accidentally? How did that work? Did you think it was a sysadmin job when they were talking about mail delivery system?
I know a bunch of teachers and school administrators. None of them are described by those points, so I wonder what you are going on about?
Also 'failing in life' are usually the people with some dates and crappy grades.
Why would they drop Germany?

No, we just consider these things as part of development rather than plan for the perfect case and go overtime on the slightest road bump.
I do work in software dev.
