I agree. I miss the old simple Lego. The new kits don't leave any room for creativity. Just put the parts together (only one way to do that) and look at it. They have all of these unique parts that can't be used to build anything else. My granddaughter got a "Frozen" Lego kit for Christmas. It came with a 50 page instruction book and lots of little parts. I tried to put it together but gave up. I felt like a slave in a sweat shop.
As the two papers linked above note, there are other toxic chemicals in the vapor as well as ultrafine particles, that likely have cardiovascular effects. E-cigarettes do not deliver "pure nicotine" and "harmless water vapor." http://www.tobacco.ucsf.edu/9-...
I don't know why anybody was stupid enough to think that they were any healthier than regular cigarettes. Smoke, nicotine (plus extra added chemicals). I'm just surprised that it took this long to actually do the study. (BTW, neat use of microfluidic sensor.)
China already makes 2/3 of the world's solar panels and half of the wind turbines plus most of the new nuclear plants. We've already lost to China. Trump will just make us irrelevant.
In the real world, people do all kind of "inappropriate" things such as send invoices as ppt, xls, doc and docx, spreadsheets as pdf, ppt, etc. In the real world, people are busy just trying to get their work done and dealing with clowns doing the wrong thing is just a speed bump.
US healthcare is more expensive than anywhere in the world. Profits of healthcare companies are higher in the US than anywhere. There are no limits to what they charge. Now they are saying they can't afford to fix the crap they've been foisting on the public? Crocodile tears...
"... nothing technical about Linux to prevent exactly the same thing from happening." Except that Linux has a robust security framework which will prevent it from installing random stuff in an email attachment whereas Windows is just crap.
Interesting that Microsoft hasn't fixed this problem... but then, it's Microsoft. Maybe they thought that the malware people weren't smart enough to use PowerPoint. (I assume that this doesn't work in LibreOffice or OpenOffice or on OSX or Linux... just the lucky stupid Windows users.)
I bet you're one of those people go got a "free" iPhone (with a two year contract to get raped by the phone company). Who do you think pays for insurance? Insurance may pay outrageous prices for drugs but they turn around and charge you for it... every single month.
Yes! "A Pattern Language" is the classic and best reference on architecture. I'm not an architect but have used this for advice on building, remodels, additions for years.
Hey, you insensitive clod, I used Windows ME. ME was the last version of Windows I used. It was so bad, I switched to Linux (and Mac) and haven't looked back. I know people are slow and stupid but I can't believe that they keep using Windows. They must be masochists.
The money sent overseas by immigrants is "after tax". The earn the money, pay the IRS tax and send it to their relatives. If they pay tax, they can do anything they want with the money. The $2.1 trillion off shore assets of individuals and corporations have not paid any tax to the IRS. I have a problem with that... don't you?
Just look at the BA fiasco. Hotshot CEO cut IT spending. No backup system. Lousy IT design and operation. System crashed. (At least a plane didn't crash)

Not my experience with a Christmas "Frozen" kit. Hundreds of unique parts that could only be used to build the Frozen set. Stupid.

You're going to have to provide some evidence for that claim (other than the stool sticking to that number you pulled from your nether regions).
Keep telling yourself that. It will help maintain your delusion that your addiction to nicotine is "harmless".
What makes you believe they are less deadly?
Is that what the people selling these are saying?
You smoke that and I call you stupid.
I don't know why anybody was stupid enough to think that they were any healthier than regular cigarettes. Smoke, nicotine (plus extra added chemicals).

Microsoft is the company which is stupid enough to allow a mouseover to download and install software.
You don't have to ask how stupid Microsoft is.
Your job is in the accounting department. It's your job to open invoices and pay them. What would be suspicious about an invoice coming to accounting?
Interesting that Microsoft hasn't fixed this problem... but then, it's Microsoft.

That's the one result of Trump's stupidity.
China will take the technology lead and the US will still be investing in clean coal.

Who do you think pays for insurance?
Insurance may pay outrageous prices for drugs but they turn around and charge you for it... every single month.
That's the drug company pricing model. "Your money or your life"

I recognize the reference but I'm 70 years old... doubt the young whippersnappers here would get it, though.

Corporations have insurance for this... it doesn't cost them.
Insurance is just the cost of doing business.
