From what I know his interpretation is completely wrong. The usual interpretation of the unusual high mortality of doctors, is that they are trying to self-diagnose themselves before going to another doctor, and when they go to another doctor they go to one they know. Due to the inherent nature of cognitive bias, they or their friends would usually diagnose themselves much more optimistically than the unbiased diagnose they give themselves. The lesson is: Never trust the diagnose of yourself or a dear friend. When it comes to important lifethreatening conclusions you need an unbiased mind.
Biblical literalist? Hardly. Nebuchadnezzar had nothing to do with the Tower of Babel, and it's clear the author has only passing knowledge of either bible story. The article manages to completely mangle both philology and biblical theology. It's stupid enough for everyone to hate.
You are assuming a biblical literalist would actually have READ and understood the bible. This is not the case, it is in fact easily provable that a biblical literalist can not possibly have both read and understood the bible.
The bible contains 2 incompatible stories of creation, and the origin of man The bible contains 2 incompatible stories of Jesus birth The bible on several occasions corrects itself and says earlier parts were wrong.
Ergo: Anyone interpreting the bible literally have obviously never actually read the bible.
GoDaddy helped write the legislation such that they are exempt from it.
Well, not really. GoDaddy wouldn't be shut down when their customers are shut down, but the legislation would still hurt their business by putting their customers out of business.
Only suggestion to KDE - for a tablet interface, try giving those apps generic names like Music Player or OCR instead of Bangarang or Okular.
Your suggestion is default, and like everything in KDE the name presented to the user is fully customizable, not just per application but desktop wide.
No TV news would be broadcast that even mentions the SOPA act. The mainstream media would block it (and my mainstream I especially mean Fox News, and the Fox lights like CNN)
Windows has had a POSIX layer since the earliest NT versions, and still do. It is not used much, and is a separate system API from win32 and all the other Windows APIs they seem to pump out and dump every few years..
AT&T is still pretty bad in this regard. What Apple's worst nightmare should be is some manufacturer growing big enough balls to tell AT&T to go fuck themselves as far as carrier mangling goes.
That is not going to turn out as you expect, because Nokia already tried that with pretty much all the American carriers. Which is why Nokia phones are almost unavailable in the US. They are still limping after showing AT&T their balls. AT&T has a nasty kick
The yellow must be on long enough that a driver not exceeding the speed limit will either be able to stop (braking normally) or pass the intersection before the lights turn red (driving normally).
Yellow is on long enough that a driver can ENTER the intersection before the lights turn red. And red+yellow is on long enough that drivers can clear the intersection before the lights turn green.
It goes: Green: Drive Yellow: Red soon, break if you can Early red: Clear intersection while it is still red in all directions Red: Do not cross, traffic in the other direction Red+Yellow: We don't like to skip a color, but that doesn't mean it is okay to cross. Green: Drive
Unfortunately everybody learns traffic lights in an early age where they don't teach how they actually works. Yellow is designed for allowing cars to break earlier, it is early red that is for clearing the intersection.
There is nothing special about this from country to country, it is just some places that has politicians too retarded to grasp the system and therefor gives out tickets for cars in the intersection during early red.
That is a design protection, which is something completely different - unfortunately. Let us hope this recent sanity spreads so that the idea that "Software ideas can't be owned" becomes not only dominant but used in lawmaking.
In my admittedly not all-encompassing experience, it's often the pesky high-paid middle managers who like to run the company by the numbers. I've had a few very large corporations as a client, and I found the upper management to be suprisingly level-headed (although rather stubborn as well, and not always that smart
It is a separation of responsibilities. It is the job of middle management to be the front line implementing the unpopular decisions coming down from above, and it is the responsibility of the upper management to look completely blameless for everything that goes wrong in the company.
No license or contract can legalize a crime. The only thing a facebook EULA can do is provide a set of terms the costumer needs to respect to receive the continued use of the product. The EULA can not take away any rights, and it can not give facebook any additional rights.
The most critical different component was the network card. The memory and harddrives were also different but they matter much less. The problem with the network cards meant that the five workstations had to use 3 different linux drivers, and the machine I used was the only one with that particular network-card. Which meant the support department had no way of checking if a kernel upgrade would work except to ask me if I could still access the network. No other machines had the same network card as me, despite the models officially being identical.
The point of the Optiplex line is not to have more "oomph", but to be a consistent hardware platform with a known lifecycle (usually at least a few years) and support timeframe.
I doubt that. All the five Optiplex workstations we had at my old work had different hardware despite officially being identical Optiplex models. It made supporting them hell. Optiplex is the cheap crap of business hardware, and what hardware they actually contains depends on what was available cheapest by Dell when throwing the machine together.
Stress or anger detection is a common feature in voice-response systems. It can either elevate you like that or advance you faster in the queue. I think it only works reliably in english systems, so it might be detection of certain words. Maybe try to articulate curses to the system, or be angry in french and see if it works.
But a faster GPU would mean it consumes less power on anything graphical intensive, but more power on things CPU intensive. Apparently the power consumption of the Intel CPUs have been a problem for Apple because of their poor GPUs and the graphical intensive nature of many Apple offerings.
Brain farts are not the same as repressed memories. What you describe is very shortly forgotten knowledge, and you still know you know it. A repressed memory is something you can not even remember ever knowing at any point.
Since when? Contracts imply no such thing. A contact is still valid without any negotiation.
Nope. If a contract can not be negotiated it is not valid. Never fall for the "the contract is not up for negotiation" trick. It is inherently a lie, since it wouldn't be a contract if you could not negotiate it.
No EULAs are valid if you are provided a running service. As in the company can take away your service if you do not comply, it is never valid for purchased products since you already own the product, so the only way the seller could take it back would be to steal it.

Not much. I am more concerned with doing something about the climate change that IS IN OUR CONTROL
Well, not really. GoDaddy wouldn't be shut down when their customers are shut down, but the legislation would still hurt their business by putting their customers out of business.
I am pretty sure H.D. make more on merchandise than they do on bikes.
I have still to figure out what the Teamsters stake is in supporting SOPA. Do they expect more trucking after having destroyed the internet?
I assume 8.8.8.8 is hosted in the US which would break it once SOPA is made into law.

Yes, a good assertion will fix the code
int foo()
{
int result = 5;
assert( result=4);
return result;
}
Well, except when no longer compiled with debug info ;)

Well some of them existed. I had a Pentium 100 back in the day where the clock-frequency was part of the chip name.
