Now we know that the Cortes expedition had some African slaves in it. Here is a question on the subject, while research is done on the many aspects of European Slavery, how much research is done on inter-African slavery or Islamic slavery in regards to Africa? I know we hear a bunch about slavery in the United States, but how about the United Kingdom or French slavery?
Perhaps, first North American African Slavery? Until 1776, of course, slavery in the Colonies was United Kingdom slavery anyway.
My personal suspicion is that the people they try this on will generally shortly die of strokes, or it will work. When an unusual heart treatment doesn't work it usually causes strokes.
They don't terribly like the normal, healthy human bacterial microbiota, either. Broad spectrum antibiotics tend to cause fungal infections merely by killing off the competition.
It seems an interesting theory that the DOJ has, as to their right to subpoena the information from Google in the first place. If the request is upheld, then I presume any other company or person may be required to provide any other portion of their property for free to the government, should the government believe it might be useful in a legal case.
Well, given the number of tags proposed by some, they're going to end up in the ecology sooner or later, like Teflon or freon. Given a decade or two, they'll probably be accumulating in polar bear body fat, and innocent infants and the like will be exposed to them from sources like their mothers' milk.
Things change. Starting with Seagate drives in IBM PC-ATs that occasionally had to be whacked with something to start them turning; finding Quantum Bigfoot drives were crap after good experiences with their Fireball line; bad experiences with Maxtors up until they came out with the "Diamondmax" line (a long time ago); a period of time when Western Digital drives on the order of 1GB were universally reviled for their dying; good experiences with IBM - but only until the later Deskstars. Recently in servers, our Maxtor drives have, yes, started dying young in excessive numbers, but not young enough to be detected by burn-in. Damnit, we use Raid-10, I shouldn't have to rush out and replace the drive that afternoon because the increased load on the other disk in the failed mirror might kill it too.
Which it seems to come down to - so far the best guide has been the reviews' disk temperature benchmarks. After all is said and done, the cooler ones seem to last *much* longer.
Well, in a society that would reward stupidity as proposed in the subject -- and where doing too well on an intelligence test while applying for a police officer job can get you excluded, as in our current one -- Darwin's theories might really kick in should the economy get bad enough, assuming that ability counts for anything.
Should any portion of the criminally population be intellifgent, I still contend that it would be counterproductive to concentrate on preferentially removing the evidently stupid ones.
Oh, that would be wonderful. An incentive for clever people to take up a life of crime. I think you had better refigure this. Let's watch out for seemingly smart people who do not seem to be able to find a job, and employ them, before they find out they might be smarter than the person investigating their prospective crimes.
Or just keep a close eye on them, at least.

Sigh. I've learned "I don't understand why we need X" is all too often a warning from a superior that continuing to push for X (including by providing the supposedly requested info) may be a career-limiting move. OTOH, if X turns out to have been needed after all, not having gotten it is hard to explain to that same superior.
A former Boss' Dell laptop came with a power supply that was recalled for repair. Supposedly prongs in the body could break off and come loose still protruding from the plugged-in cord, a shock hazard.
After several weeks it was returned unchanged except that the power cord was permanently hot-glued into the P/S body.
Only while liquid - early microbiological researchers famously used it as a growth medium for bacteria. When urine dries it is too osmotically thirsty for anything to live in it. Same reason you don't get moldy salt shakers or bacterial colonies growing in your sugar bowl.
I don't know either; AFAIK the situation might resolve, or reverse, with the next release of the Linux kernel, or with a recompile of the kernel and server apps for the actual hardware. Or different apps, YMMV.
I suspect it is a case of "Data, data, who's got the data? Oh, the chip with the other two virtual CPUs. Which is competing with me for RAM bus bandwidth because I have the data it needs in my cache. Where it shoved out the data I need now." In any case, I have the misfortune to have to experimentate some SQL2000 servers now because of the results the article linked to.

As I read the article, though, kinetic energy weapons would try to miss what you're aiming them at if you go too fast.

Mod parent up, real RAID 10 is a Sysadmin's friend.
Still, it's just a muscle, if an unusual one.

When one media pundit was being subjected to derision because of his outlandish idea that viruses might be spread by email.

I'd like exactly the dosage needed to wipe out my memory of learning about the pill itself.
They used to run electric trains over the Sierra Nevada using the method. The descending trains served as generators to power the ascending ones.
I'm more worried about later, more advanced versions of this. Who do you trust with your access codes?
Collanders. Giant space Collanders.
Well, I've always thought a little icon of an envelope was pretty good for representing mail.
Hey, whose fault is it if you don't read the EULA?
That is true.
But compare their prices with the low end Seagate models that have a 5 year warranty.

Fact 3 I need a little more background on. Which cold viruses are retroviruses? Reference please?
"He"?
Well, ok. Though I suspect that some might qualify as "it".
