Is That Sushi Hazardous To Your Health?
Here "that" refers to a particular piece of sushi. Reading the summary and then the article, one finds that "that sushi" refers to "sushi containing 'tuna'". Raw fish on its own is sashimi. Raw fish on rice is sushi. If the raw fish in either case is poisonous, then the entire thing will be hazardous to your health.
Or, do you somehow think that the rice is going to save you?
Their complaint was not smoke damage to the machine -- it was health hazard of second-hand smoke. This is ridiculous. Residual smell of smoke on a machine, while nasty, is not a biohazard, and it certainly doesn't carry the risks of "secondhand smoke". Unless there's smoke in the air, there's no secondhand smoke.
“Now, engineers study a lot in college,” McDermott said. “They neglect very important extracurricular activities. My girls went to school with engineers, [and] they said, ‘Dad, they don’t know how to dance, they don’t know how to dress, they don’t even know how to talk.’ ”
Want to work here? You'll have to date my daughter.
Meh. It's reasonably public knowledge that the NSA has people working at Microsoft, IBM, etc. It's actually quite easy to find NSA "agents". Go into any math department in the country, and you're almost guaranteed to meet one or two. And guess what? Microsoft hires people with PhDs in math who know crypto -- and chances are, well over half of the talent pool has worked at NSA at some point.
Also, as FP noted, Microsoft claims that they haven't put any backdoors in, and also admits that the NSA has submitted code -- their statements do not preclude the NSA putting in their own backdoors.
Probably because it was a nearly content-free "article" that had a short video clip of some shit getting smashed. Not complaining. It's a huge improvement for "idle"... but there it is.
However, I seriously doubt that this material would actually protect a house from much. The impact from the wrecking ball broke the brick, and the "paper" held it together. But what happens when you put a roof on, and you set up the bomb? First, your doors and windows are still just as fragile... and if the impact is as strong as the wrecking ball, the entire front of the house loses structural integrity, and caves in. Suddenly, the roof doesn't have enough support, so down it comes on your head.
I'm not saying that the president should be able to make law. I'm just pointing out the fact that this memo is nothing but a waste of bandwidth -- it's a fluff piece. The Obama administration has been just as closed as the Bush administration was. The only difference? Bush didn't lie about it.
This memorandum does not create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
Translation: this is an empty document, but will appease the masses when they cry about a lack of "change", because they won't read all the way to the bottom. Carry on, and don't share anything that you don't absolutely have to under FOIA.
Oh y'know... the usual. Don't trust anybody, compile your compiler by hand, smell the milk when you open it no matter what's stamped on it, store your condoms under a pyramid and wear a tin foil hat.
But come to think of it... there *are* services that store many thousands of term papers to check plagiarism. Why not do this with OSS, too?
No, nobody forced anybody to use GPL'd code. But, to the perspective of Microsoft, this *did* sneak in while they weren't looking. The problem is, they weren't looking. What if some malicious developer copied the Linux OOM killer into the Windows kernel? If you read the license, Microsoft would have to release that version of Windows under GPL. That's virulent, if you ask me.
Naw... trolls can be happy. All it takes is some hot grits, and a statue of Natalie Portman...
Anyway, this should make at least one troll happy: I think RMS has been dreaming of this day for years now. The virulent nature of GPL has always been a threat, and now it just bit Microsoft. Will they quarantine this code, and every developer who has read it?
Mountain dew spilled on top of the unit, for example.
FTFS:
Remus provides a thin layer that continuously replicates a running virtual machine onto a second physical host.
Wow! This software is *incredible* if mountain dew spilled on top of one machine is instantly replicated on the other machine! I'm gonna go read the source immediately, this has huge ramifications! In particular, if an officemate gets coffee and I also want coffee, only one of us needs to actually purchase a cup!
Naw, killing the young is both a better deterrent to overpopulation, and easier because the ignorant good-for-nothing whippersnappers won't even see it coming.
The title of this story should be, "Why people suck at computers". Computers are perfectly good at math, and they can even do math perfectly... but you have to pick your problems carefully if you don't want to overrun the memory or spend ridiculous amounts of time in your computations. For example, if there were 8 or 16 ticks per second instead of 10, there would never be an overflow and your clock would operate perfectly (modulo overflows).
....but... I've never bought an Apple product in my life. Well, my wife has an iPod nano, but she uses MP3s she's ripped from CDs, and she doesn't use the iStore. I've never sought Apple's permission to do anything online. I'm failing to see the problem here.

And raw fish is almost as tasty as raw steak!

Yeah -- worst mission ever: jump a shark in a jet fighter with frikkin lasers on it.
Oh, it's even worse than that:

Similarly, Red vs. Blue has been around since early 2003. They didn't call 'em podcasts, but same deal.
In Soviet Russia, 2020 controls 2019 by computer implants!

Ok, what we have here is:

Yes, I think a "pewpewpew" tag is obligatory.

I dunno. I was just thinking how much fun a pair of these would be at a political protest, when cops in riot gear show up...

For an individual? No, it's not hard. For a big corporation with thousands of developers, it appears to be a challenge.

What, like when Clinton was seriously hungry, jogged to McDonalds, where he received major deep-fried foods?
No, they're using ligers to deliver speeding tickets. And wondering why people think that's unconstitutional, apparently.
Naw, killing the young is both a better deterrent to overpopulation, and easier because the ignorant good-for-nothing whippersnappers won't even see it coming.
What? Challenging anecdotal evidence with math? I don't think that works in these parts... best to fire back with ad hominem.

No, probably not. You can't trust messages from the future -- even from yourself! You may have been compromised by the enemy.
