I see a lot of these comments assuming that there is an infinite workload. Many knowledge based jobs are task driven and there is downtime while you're waiting for the next task. As long as that time isn't spent doing something detrimental or offensive, I don't see why it should be looked down on.
Example being, if I spend the time while waiting on a quote from vendor reading about technology trends or just the news, I don't see a big deal. If I'm reading MLP fan fic, well, then, I can see my manager taking a walk down the hall.
Someone commented and/or tweeted that having no sympathy for her stance means that you've never been handed a 400 page Nessus report and been told to "Fix it all." So, yeah, I have some sympathy from that angle.
However, one can't deny the value of outside research and analysis when she writes herself that 10% of the vulnerabilities found come from either the customer base or researchers.
Really, make a txt file or scribble it on your hand or something. You will be a mega hero when you pull out the set of Red Dwarf on Valentines Day that she mentioned in September. Gifts with an inside joke or personal meaning mean a lot more to everyone but especially women in particular so while a lot of people might think you're a fool for getting her Death with Big Pointy Teeth, she'll remember that she mentioned that she loved Monty Python on your first date six months ago.
It might sound a bit cold or mechanical but I think that it's simply a difference of the male mind that we don't put emotional events like that into long term memory and need to augment it a bit.
Working with Illumina in a busy lab turns into a battle of platters faster than most people want to believe.
The next thing to hit is supposed to be 3D DNA modeling where the interactions within the genome is mapped. Meaning; if x and y is present b will be produced but will only be active if x is at position #100 or position #105 if it's at another position c will be created, etc. It differs from normal mapping because the code AND position within the code is taken into account so there are conditions added to almost every code sequence. Won't cause much more disk overhead but will kill processor time and I'm too young to retire before then...
To steal from gunfacts.info:
The U.K. has strict gun control and a rising homicide rate of 1.4 per 100,000. Switzerland that has the highest per capita firearm ownership rate on the planet (all males age 20 to 42 are required to keep rifles or pistols at home) has a homicide rate of 1.2 per 100,000. And to date, there has never been a schoolyard massacre in Switzerland. You can not blame a hunk of metal for the shortcomings of a society. If firearms cause violence then the Swiss would be swimming in blood...
Brazil has mandatory licensing, registration, and maximum personal ownership quotas. It now bans any new sales to private citizens. Their homicide rate is almost three (3) times higher than the U.S. ...and Brazil would be as peaceful as Grandma's back yard.
Any common hunting round round will pierce body armor. "Armour piercing" is a deceptive statement since body armor is easy to penetrate and vehicle armor can't be easily defeated with anything below a RPG.
Gun control laws only remove the guns from people who obey laws. If someone is planning on wiping out a crowd they are not going to care that whether or not the tool they use is legal to posses.
Reducing access to firearms not only does nothing, it often has the opposite effect of its stated goal. That is, it increases gun crime because the criminals have a known unarmed population to prey on.
You are blaming a chunk of metal for the shortfalls of a culture. Japan has fewer murders as a whole. It has nothing to do with firearms. If it did then Switzerland would be awash in blood since there is virtually no firearm legislation there. The culture of the USA is more violent then many countries, therefore there are more murders. There are also countries with a near to complete prohibition on firearms that are much more violent then the US, such as Brazil.
Geneva does not cover non-uniformed combatants or combatants from non-Geneva nations. If I recall correctly, most of the trouble that people were getting into centered around US law and military code.
Well, I don't really want to mention the LA riots here.
OK, I'm going to go off topic once more with this.
You missed the point. I wanted to point out that even in an European paradise where super socialist city planning has allowed people to walk everywhere there are still outbreaks of crime. You helped to point out that it's similar to outbreaks in another country of almost completely different demographics. However where as the riots in LA were race based, the riots in Paris are largely attributed to the extremely high youth unemployment rate caused by socialist agenda. My point wasn't to show that one system was better but only to make a jab at your underhanded remark that Americans are scared to redesign anything because it might be considered socialist. Back to the discussion at hand...
Wanting to be different is not an argument for insisting on making poor choices in city planning.
I never said anything about wanting to be different. It simply is different, desire be damned. The geography, the historical settlement, the fuel costs, the culture, the cost/hour of travel are all different. You are going to have a much, much harder time convincing anyone to live in a crowded city when the lay of the land is flat and real estate is cheap (Phoenix, Midwest) then in a situation where the geography prevents easy access to private transport and living space is about the same area in or out of the city (London, NYC). Simply put, I can own acres and drive to work or rent square feet and and take the subway in most of the USA. Most people given that choice will drive.
But, oh noes, making cities desirable places to live would require ghastly measures that would constitute socialism ! Socialism has done a bang up job of fixing crime problems in Paris, hasn't it? All those rioting "Youths" must be skeery capitalists.
Like previous posters have said, America is different. I can walk to the grocery store. It takes a significant investment in time to do that. I'd rather pay the $0.25 for gas to get there in two minutes rather then 30. In other countries or cities where traffic is worse and fuel more expensive it makes more sense to walk. "Different" not "Right" or "Wrong."
Check out Pandora. You pick what you like and it presents stuff to you that's similar and you give it a thumbs up/down. I've found a LOT of stuff there that I never would have been exposed to otherwise.
I don't see much of a problem with 12 billion people as long as you put those extra 6 billion in the right places. Farming methods keep getting better and with most Western nations getting warmer and wetter productivity will probably keep going up for quite some time. So long as the population increases in areas which can support it (which is not the current trend)I really don't think there is a problem.
Some places that are concerned about espionage use credit checks to rule out people. The idea is that if you're $100,000 in debt, you're a lot more likely to take a bribe.
combined with essentially bribing doctors to prescribe their pill for every little thing

I was trying to point out that the crime will not shift to other things at all, it will remain right where it was.
Congratulations on your ability to flame though.

I don't think that the people included in that count are thinking much of anything anymore.

She lived in the area and should have also known better.
Actually, ethylene glycol is fine for disposal in a standard sewage system. Just don't dump it into a storm drain. It also tastes delicious.

Nothing is worse then it. Which is what all copies of Windows shipped with prior to SP2.
