The accumulation of the radium (and barium) is due to the very extensive root system of the tree.
So the root system is just effective in sucking in radioactive stuff.
Bingo. This is also somewhat related to why health nuts should be careful about where all that kale and other greens they like to eat are grown. "Leafy greens" like kale and mustard greens are very efficient at sucking heavy metals from soil. So much so that they are sometimes used for that purpose at cleanup sites (Phytoremediation).
Only if it's written with no scientific basis, is completely devoid of facts, and is insanely inflammatory. So, yes, believe pretty much any page on the internet... except that one.
Whatever it was, I doubt it will be any worse that what he'll be in for when he's recaptured (and odds are, he will be). No more minimum security for him. I don't think he will enjoy his new accommodations.
They are required, by standard, to be encrypted at the POS terminal. CC #'s are not because they can be stored by the merchant. Should they be? Hell yes but I didn't make the rules.
From my experience working with PCI compliant companies, the CC info is usually kept on a completely separate network from the normal corporate network. It usually routes back to a central office or branch office before making it's way to the payment processor in large companies (small mom & pop it probably dials/VPNs direct from the POS terminal). There would be plenty of chances to grab it along the way if you penetrated that secure network. The upside is that PCI makes it very painful if you fail to protect that network. Thus why Target is staring at a VERY big ($3.6 billion) PCI fine.
The PINs could have been captured in flight. They can't be stored, but they still need to make their way from the terminal to the bank for verification.
There is already evidence that the cards are being cloned and used overseas, so having the pin would be very useful for them. They got the entire magstripe for each card in the attack.
I'm bad about this. I replaced four 100W bulbs in my basement/garage with CFL equivalents @ 26W each. I pretty much leave them on constantly and it's due to the fact that they are such low wattage.
As an aside, over the course of seven years I've so far replaced each one once.
What? You have a low user number so I know you aren't new here so what's up?/. is where you go to see people shit on EVERY story. There could be a story tomorrow about a new technology producing infinite, clean, and free energy, bringing about world peace and the end to poverty and income inequality and slashdotters would find a way to crap all over it. It's the 2nd most negative place on the internet (DPR bring the king).
Oh please.... Most of these idiots on here saying they would punch a glasshole would probably wet themselves in the face or a real altercation. I don't doubt some of them have probably been punched before, but I doubt many (any?) have ever actually had the stones to do it themselves.
I think he is talking about an opt-in system where your face is the biometric, not a "age-guessing" app. You register, say in person with valid ID, and then you can use your face as your ID for certain venues, etc.
That said, facial rec technology is going to need to be a generation or two better before this will work with enough accuracy to be acceptable.
I kind of agree with this. It should be a long clock (decade?) but it should be there and should be in big bold letters in the license. Companies hang on to old software out of habit, necessity (vendor/internal devs suck), or due to financial reasons. The problem is that it becomes harder and harder to support internally as time goes on. What happens is that eventually the company gets to the point where they have to move, no choice. Then it turns into this gigantic and very costly endeavor where practically every software package is upgraded or replaced at once, instead of a gradual progression over time.
Actually, while the driver argument is valid, Vista did have noticeable stability, compatibility, and performance issues that were addressed in Windows 7. Ditto for Windows 2008 server. Granted, these could have been addressed in service packs but that's not the way it went down. If you compare the two, fully patched at the time of release for Windows 7, Windows 7 performed better on the same hardware and with the same drivers than Vista.
Depends on what you consider cheap. If you just need the real estate then Monoprice has a decent 2560x1440 display for under $400. Not a terrific monitor for hard core gaming or video/photo editing probably but for everyday use it would be hard to beat.
The ONLY people in business env's with notebooks are those who need to be mobile or take work home with them. Those are usually senior staff. The minions use PCs.
I'm a consultant so I'm in and out of a lot of companies and more often than not the big business and even a lot of the mid-sized firms are issuing laptops as the default for anyone firmly in the "salaried employee" category. Most reserve desktops for special cases like media folks (usually Mac Pro's) or developers. Helpdesk, customer service, plant floor, point of sale, etc. either get desktop, POS terminals, or thin clients. The reason for this is that these days everyone thinks they need to be mobile. More often than not those laptops are just sitting on their desks and never move. It's funny but sometimes even the IT folks don't realize it until you do a population survey and point it out.
Of course, to your point, they usually have an external monitor (and KB and mouse) hooked up to them.
You can disable automatic updates of both the OS and Apps in the device's settings. It may still DOWNLOAD the next update in the case of the OS, but it won't install it without your permission. This has some iOS 7 holdouts understandably cranky since it takes up space on the device.
If you are leaking between the vaginal canal and anus, you have a fistula and should probably see a doctor. This still doesn't explain how the body can "allocate" microbes, as posed in the original post.
As a person who studied A&P in college, I'm sure as hell surprised by this revelation. How, exactly, does this "allocating" occur? Trans-lumen transporter beam?
What TFA suggests is to get a "dirty dog" which pass on some "gut microbes" onto the human babies which, according to TFA, may help the human babies to fight allergies.
This scenario has several implications:
1. How the "gut microbes" being passed from that "dirty dog" to the human infant ?
Shit.
Specifically, dog shit.
Which means, the human infant somehow ingested some of the dog shit which contains the microbes that previously reside inside the dog's guts.
2. The transfer of a microbe from a species (dog) to another (human) may, or may not work.
It may even be very harmful.
If the microbes are of the "benign" kind, yes, it may benefit the human baby, as TFA has suggested.
But if the microbes are of the nasty kind, it may bring on transgenic diseases.
Yes, this is also how the parent's gut microbes are passed to their infant as well. It's a well known fact that fathers giving their newborns what we today call a "dirty Sanchez" immediately after childbirth goes back 10's of millions of years as a way to pass on their unique gut flora.
Wait, what's that? Oh, sorry, I'm being told it's transferred via saliva. Hey, maybe that's how the dog to human transfer works too...

And yet no one who actually works with it calls it NT, and we certainly do not call the admins "NT Admins".
NT admins? What is this, 1999?
How can I use this to continue to deny global warming is caused by man? Cable-news fed minds want to know!

Have you tried the A19 style halogens that GE and Sylvania have been pumping out for the past couple of years?

More people will say Ford did advance technology father than Mr Ferrari, with affordable technology for everyone
Yes, but one would not say that of the Creative Nomad. As an owner of both a Nomad and iPod, yea, no contest.

Your problem is the cats. Cat evil cancels out dog goodness. Get rid of the cats, or at the very least dress them in little biohazard suits.

Why not take them and avoid having to go to the doctor because I feel like crap?
Maybe because there have been several recent studies that show overall lifespan is shorter for individuals who take multivitamins daily.
