According to the statistics I have seen, "born with ambiguous genitalia" occurs at a rate of 1 per 1000 births. That is millions of people. We are supposed to ignore their plight, just because it offends you?
I'm 60 and planning to work for a few years yet. I managed to find a nitch at an in-state utility that no one else could fill and I will have been there 40 years by the time I retire. The pay is excellent and the work is challenging enough to keep me sharp. I still do some programming but mostly I'm doing system administration for a network with about 80 computers. Like jeillah I have a broad experience and a constant desire to learn more and stay current.
What part of "drive their instruments" did you not understand? Even if they knew all their songs without sheet music, if they need computers to run the instruments, and don't have them, their tour is over.
As far as mining the flying rocks, the backstory talks about attempts to do this. They unbalanced one and dumped several million dollars worth of equipment to the ground, killing several workers. After that, they left the flying islands alone and just mined the superconductor.
In certain industries, you use what the vendors are willing to provide, or you don't stay in business. If the vendor only supports Windows, you use Windows. Period.
As an example, the plant where I work relies heavily on Allen-Bradley Rockwell Software for automation and control. There is no viable alternative on a non-Windows platform, from either a practical or a regulatory perspective. Rockwell Software barely supports 64-bit Windows. They are not likely to make any effort to run on Linux, and sure as heck won't license there software for use under Wine.
Actually, no, it does not use e-ink. Like the black-and-white version, is uses an "e-paper" display that only requires power to change state, but it is not e-ink
Of course, he was attacked by the scientific community, not the church. The other natural philosophers were the ones that lodged the complaints. Until he pissed them off theologically, he had the support of the church. And house arrest, well, gee, he got to stay in the medieval equivalent of a five-star hotel for the rest of his life. I'm sure everyone would like that kind of a sentence.
Seriously, the SCO we know and hate was NEVER a good company. Santa Cruz Operations was an OK provider of Unix, but SCO Group was little more than a poor caretaker of the legacy.
Many coal seams are also aquifers. So, those elements present in coal were previously present in drinking water for the people living in those areas. Hmm, let people drink the nasties, or mine the coal and impound the nasties in the captured waste in a landfill?
Please, please, teach them something besides how to code in Java. A little theory would be nice. Some basic understanding of what a computer actually does with that code they type in. Some idea of how algorithms are turned into programs. Please?
I agree. I have a Pebble, and with Bluetooth on and about 15-20 notifications a day, I get a solid week on a two hour charge. I use watchfaces that only update once a minute, and I could not be more happy with this device. With the vibration and the notifications on screen, I can deal with 90% of what I receive without ever pulling out my smartphone. The phone is always on mute, and I rarely miss anything important.
Yes, because only morons would fail to appreciate the elegance and simplicity of Microsoft's approach to command line interfaces, as compared to, say, Unix. (Have to include to tags so us morons know what is sarcasm.)
Oh Lord, yes. I took a Windows Server 2008 class that included doing everything on server core as well as "normal" installations. The long command names were SUCH a pain.
Too bad there is no "US grid". There are several regional grids, with limited interconnects between them. You cannot generate wind power in Washington state and consume it in Florida.
I think you can be sure no matter how this plays out, power is going to be more expensive. In addition, if the coal-fired plants are removed from the equation before replacement sources of power are in place, there will be power shortages.
My question is, do these ACs PURPOSEFULLY misquote this song? By now, everyone should know that the last word in the first stanza is "confidant"; enough people have pointed it out. Or, is this just a 'bot with a fixed text file that is never updated?

Unfortunately for them, your "rare anomalies" amounts to millions of people on earth. So, I guess it is OK to treat them as non-existent?

The good news is when I fired up Chrome, it asked me if I wanted to remove this unwanted extension.

I am thinking the Tuatha Dé Danann (Aos Sí) ARE the ancient Irish, and the legends were more based on fact than people realize.
Really? This would come as a surprise to all the Jews READING the Torah in their synagogues at the time of Christ.

Yes, I did, and yes, you are.
"Renew! Renew!"
It was an honest question, because I tend to assume people can be taught (I know, an ignorant assumption).
Oh, those are great. Thank you for making a bright spot in my Monday morning. :)
