Doesn't matter much tough. I saw a medical professor close to tears because of the state of competence and the medical industry.
Main problems:
Doctors don't think "I don't know this (yet)." They think "There will never ever exist a solution to this". This is because of their god complex.
Doctors don't care for the underlying cause. Most of the time, they "fix" your symptoms by giving you drugs. Of course if you don't take them forever, everything goes back to how it was before.
Patients believe the crap their doctors tell them. They do net think for themselves. Most often, they don't even want the heal the cause. They love to be (neurotically) ignorant about it.
Doctors and the health industry earn more money when there are more sick people, instead of when there are more healthy people (which is interestingly the model used in China).
The whole pharma industry works like any other industry: The main (and often only) target is to maximize profit.
Health insurance companies work that way too. So their target is to get the most in, and the least out. "Ideally", you pay, and they deny you everything.
I have to push my doctor real hard until he even considers doing any tests. It's nearly impossible to find the underlying cause because of him. And I tried dozens of doctors. They are no different. Most of the time they weasel their way out by just prescribing you painkillers... that way it does not hurt while you fuckin' die.
If I had money, I'd create my own health insurance. Completely owned by the insured. One CEO who is completely alone, and responsible for updates to the program. The rest is a program, created by me. That program allows the insured to completely control the terms of their contract and change them, including the income of the CEO. They can fire the CEO too, or fork the company, electing a new CEO. The program would manage how the money would be spent, by calculating what the insured want to spend or have to spend, to be able to deliver what they want or need. At least this is the basic idea of the project. I will have the quirks worked out before I have that kind of money anyway.;)
Hmm... sounds like he's just an average Wikinazi. You know, they have a credo: "There is only one opinion. One truth. One reality". As if they never heard about relativity... of reality... of truth.... of opinion.
And the whole site is designed to enforce only one groupthink. That of the admins.
Even if the very same Wikinazis will mod me to hell and back for this, I'm still proud of standing by that opinion, and not caving into anonymity. I've got enough karma to burn up anyway. So bite me!:P
Hey, I often walked into a room and had to tell the person in front of the CRT, that his screen was X Hz. I correctly detected 60 and 75 Hz (Mostly it's 60 Hz, but I definitely can see 75 Hz). At 85 Hz it's hard, since I can't use my own CRT at 100 Hz anymore, because the graphics card is too shitty and blurs everything.
Oh, and I can hear buzzes from some PSUs, some LCDs and some chargers. I think it's the transformer, and as far as I know, transformer buzz is well know problem.
The most annoying thing are those high-pitched inverters (I think) for electroluminescent foils. Nice for decoration, but not usable in the bedroom or any other quiet place.
a moderator replied, 'It does not have third party DRM.'
So it only has their own DRM? And lots of it?
Sorry EA management. You're still a bunch of greedy criminals in suits, sniffing drugs, threating your programmers like slaves, destroying nice companies and making shitty games (or no games at all) out of their ideas. And you can't sue me, because I got proof of all I said right now! That's the problem when you screw over the people that you need(ed). They know what you did. And they collected proof on the go.
Even if you remove all DRM, you would still have to stop behaving like assholes before I would even start thinking about buying something from you.
It's no different than the "dark matter/energy" concept of "Damn, your calculations are totally wrong, and your model is a piece of shit." "Nooo... The universe lies to us! There is some dark stuff that we can't see, or measure, or anything ever, that has just the effect to fix our model, and nothing else!" "How convenient!"
I know four languages, and I found that every language has its own nuances of meanings that you simply can't express in other languages. Air in French does not mean the same as air in English. It has other associations to it. The nice thing about everybody in Luxemburg speaking at least four languages, is that you can use them all in conversation. This greatly enhances the depth and detail of it. Which is a very beautiful thing. You should try it.
So the only reason you expect it to be English, is that you are arrogant. Wanna know who else behaves like this? The french. And the Germans would be too, if not for the fear of still being called a Nazi, when it was not them but their grandparents who did it.
Did you know that the USA nearly voted for German as their main language? And now Spanish becomes more and more dominant too. From your point (USA I guess) nearly everybody south of you speaks Spanish. In Africa tons of people speak French. In the middle east, Arabic is an international language too. And don't let me get started about China owning the USA and them being able to quickly assimilate other cultures. I already have to go to Chinese (eg. tudou.com) sites for some stuff.
If you come to my country, learn my fuckin' language! What would you think, if I came to the USA or UK, and *expected* you to speak German (or Luxemburgish, which happens to be my mother's tongue)?
Your arrogance disgusts me. It's always English, English, English!
P.S.: I just found out a nice way to turn a seemingly trollish post into a more nice post: Put the first invert the order of the paragraphs. That way those with the most anger come last.;) Oh, and my reaction is the reaction you could expect from a large part of the Europeans. You not liking it does not make it a troll. You're supposed to not like it.;)
I expected it to be obvious for slashdotters, that a high energy beam, going from A to B, has to go trough material X. Now if material X happens to be something that reacts to masses of electrons or photons going trough it, it will change, and most likely heat that material, depending on its density.
So if you're part of the material X, it is pretty sure that you will be fried. If your brain is, it will distort the electric charges even at much lower power levels.
So who are those idiots that still praise it as "Ooh, we will soon throw away all our cables!"? Someone should give them a straight beam of all the energy his computer and his electric stove needs, trough his head. If he still can think afterwards, his mind will have changed!;)
I just thought up the most horrible weapon ever conceived: A cross-breed of digg, and the goatse family of pictures.

Alright. Selling now!
Normal delivery method include: - Thrown by chair: A Vista laptop with 512 MB ram gets mounted to a chair, and exclusively thrown by Mr. Ballmer. - Riding the nuke: A complete Internet-connected "diggy goatse" server gets installed in the hull of a zar bomb, which then gets ridden by one of our most experienced cowboy rednecks... straight to your home. - Rolled trough the Rick: We are forbidden by the UN human rights council, to give you the details on this one. - Rawberry shocklade surprise: Our specialty. A special double fake triple trolled ass-plug from pressed raw digg story submissions gets shoved up your ass. Then electrically charged steel bolts spring out, and go right to both cheeks.
Just redirect him to the "delete user" command. It's like back in the days, when our admin script in Counterstrike changed the player's shoot button (Mouse1) to the suicide command when you camped for too long. O:-)
Normally yes. But there's a wrapper for it. As is for flash. I used Firefox + nspluginwrapper + Flash for quite some time now. As soon as Flash 10 (64 bit) becomes stable (It's still slower and buggier here than Flash 9 (32 bit) with the wrapper.), nspluginwrapper becomes obsolete.
Either you did not understand or read my post, or you forgot, that ignorance is a result of a neurosis itself, and therefore can be threated like any other.
It is hard, but absolutely possible, to change person's strongly fighting neurosis (ignorance) infested mind, to think "Hey, something's wrong here!". This germ/seed starts the process of letting in new information, thereby circumventing the neurosis itself in that single point.
Tab is the worst excuse for "keyboard support" in a GUI app. It's useless with a thousand links, buttons and form fields in a browser.
I found Ctrl-L (adress bar flield), Ctrl-K (search bar field) and search-as-you-type for html links to be very useful.
Especially because I type very fast. (German NEO layout + Datadesk SmartBoard keyboard. I hope I can buy two DataHands soon. At $600 a piece not a bargain...)
No. They did try to explain it (in a very poor way) for humanoids.
What's with all animals plants and shit being the same with some irrelevant change here and there? Oh, and of course that forest that looks exactly like a forest on earth trough a bad camera filter has crazy alien things in it that you never will see in front of the camera. What you will see are those "alien" trees, that also look exactly like trees on earth... but they have some dangerous whatnot shit inside or their odor kills you...
I did it, because I already have the praxis, and wanted so see if I can find out some of the more fundamental concepts behind it. I would never have imagined how much it helped me.:)

The term you're searching is "cracking". Or what do you think a kernel hacker is?

Is that something you use rectally to freeze-shut your ass?
If so... no thanks...
It will be more useful for politicians anyway.

The whole idea of Star Trek is humans saving the day and doing the impossible and surving a multitude of dangerous situations by a matter of seconds.
As is any movie with a hero or heroes ever made.
I fail to see, how this makes such a proven method bad?
Additionally you get a ground effect at about 50-100ft (I think) and below, moving you away from the mountain and tilting you.
It must really suck...err...blow...err... you know what I mean...
