The problem with multiple options is that unless you happen to know something about filesystems, you'll likely be scared to make any choice, and think "Linux is hard".
Rather, what they do now is fine: Default option will create a new partition with the default filesystem, with an expert mode that will let you set whatever partitions you want with whatver mount points you want, and decide what gets formated (ie:/) and what gets left alone (ie:/home).
There’s nothing like it. At just 17.5 inches wide and 2 inches tall, it’s designed to take up far less room — and use far less energy — than any other desktop computer.
Ahem.
Mac Mini.
(Not that I'm a fanboi. There are lots of machines in this form factor. System76 used to make an Ubuntu box in a similar form factor, but I can't seem to find it on their website anymore.)
If 20 % of the code could not be relicensed, then that 20 percent has to be re-written from scratch in a clean-room style.
Anything else, and the contributors of that 20% should cry foul.
Remember, if there's one line of proprietary code in the linux kernel, Microsoft can cry foul. Why not expect the same for people in the closed source world?
There are certain guidelines that, if followed, are supposed to improve mortality. The problem is some patients are just lost to followup, therefore miss out on the procedures that may potentially save their lives (such as colonoscopies).
If the database is not drilled for these procedures, I can see a lawsuit happen from the family members of someone who got lost to followup and then died of metastatic cancer (due to a missed colonoscopy) or sudden death (due to not getting a defibrillator when they were eligible).
The only way doctors are going to go to EMR systems is when they improve the bottom line.
The people that create many EMR systems understand that, and build the systems in a way so that physicians can increase the billing rate above what they can do with paper systems.
I currently do my patients records on paper. I bill much lower than I could, because I'm scared about penalties associated with being caught over-billing.
My office is going EMR within the next year. I am positive that the amount I will bill for just about everything will increase, and I will (hopefully) offset the cost of going electronic at that point.
Is EMR going to reduce the cost of health care? Almost certainly not. It will likely allow physicians to drill down into their database of patients to see: 1. which ones haven't been seen in a while and bring them in. 2. which ones are eligible for a procedure but haven't had it yet.
Will this decrease patient morbidity (illness) and mortality (death)? Probably, but that can only be determined by (likely retrospective) studies.
Also, this is an un-verifiable excuse. Easy to say after the fact. Who knows how long the gun was actually sitting on the table?
Fact of the matter is, a child died due to gross negligence. If it was due to being run over by a car, at the very least there would be an investigation and charges brought up.
I don't mean googling for an answer. I mean actually emailing someone at google to see if the people they have involved with book scanning may have some ideas. At the very least, if you peaked someone's interest there, they may point you towards the right people in the restoration business.
I've ordered several things from newegg over the years. Always very easy to complete the order online. The couple times I returned things (one was a video card that the manufacturer admitted to putting a different model in the box, the other was a DOA video card), I had no hassels at all with customer service reps.
Definitely recommend them to others, including my dad on the rare times he orders electronics online.
With such presenting signs, there is NO WAY such a patient is going to be "sent home" anyway. So frankly the original article is just a bunch of sensationalist writing trying to imply something new about things that we already know. OK, it's nice to have a name for it. Yes, there's probably a constellation of signs that differentiate it from the "non-Takotsubo" AMI which you as a specialist know all about. The prognosis is probably different, from what you imply. However my point is we've known that stress is one of many risk factors for AMI for years. What's new?
What's different is that this isn't an AMI at all. Myocardial infarction quite literally means death of the myocytes (heart muscle). In this cardiomyopathy, there is little if any dead muscle. There's a lot of stunned muscle. The difference is that if the muscle dies, there's nothing that can be done to make it move again. If it is stunned, it will move again on it's own, given enough time to recover.
The other thing is that the stress that causes Takotsubo cardiomyopathy causes a very different effect on the heart than the stress that causes an acute myocardial infarction. In AMI, the stress causes plaque rupture in one of the coronary arteries, leading to thrombus formation within the coronary artery and obstruction to the flow of blood. In Takotsubo, it's unclear what the stress actually did, but it certainly isn't causing a demonstrable plaque rupture. It's possible that it's causing transient spasm of the left main coronary artery, or possibly spasm of the entire capillary bed.
Also, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy has been known about for more than a decade. It just gets in the news every Valentine's day or so.:-)
I am an interventional cardiologist, and I see a new case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy about once every 3-4 months.
It really is strongly associated with high levels of stress, and most individuals (who reach the hospital) recover within a month.
Unfortunately, when they present to the hospital, they appear as a very large heart attack, with chest pain, shortness of breath, congestive heart failure (fluid in the lungs due to a weak heart), low blood pressure and EKG changes consistent with a heart attack. The coronary arteries are normal, and the heart muscle has a pathonemonic shape. The nice thing is that if you can support them over the first couple days in the hospital, they do recover and go back to normal.
The wikipedia article on the topic is quite good, by the way.
Amarok took several steps backwards... and then veered off into the woods somewhere.
There was a time when Amarok was a favorite music player on Gnome desktops. There are a lot of good alternatives out there now, who are all growing organically without the horrible design mistakes that Amarok went through.

Are the Xbox 360 and PS3 still not making a profit on hardware? I just find that hard to believe.
F-Spot replaces The GIMP??? That is wrong, on so many levels.
It merely occupies (some of) the space on the CD previously allocated to The GIMP.
Only if it knows the user names.
Just sayin'.
First of all, it's practice for the next time.
Second of all, it's a warning to all others, so there won't be a next time.
This doesn't even save a single hard drive at current storage densities. :-(
They could, except they would go out of business since no one would buy their more expensive products.

I don't want to sound negative, but I was always worried about Oracle buying Sun, for how it would impact negatively on Sun's business.
The Sun's business is keeping me warm during the day, providing a free energy source, and an excuse for me to wear sun glasses.
So long as it does that, I couldn't care less what any Oracle does with it.
Before you complain about number 2:

This happened in a home. A place of safety.
How about asking the real experts: Google.

Don't forget the power of the randomized double (or triple) blind trial.
Yes.
But it's acceptable, since the memo was copyrighted.
Loved that. And the dichotomy of Batman and Superman becomes evident:
Bruce Wayne puts on a costume to become Batman. Superman puts on a costume to become Clark Kent.
New York is Metropolis by day and Gotham by night.
Microsoft's patent portfolio is the largest and strongest in the software industry...
..for certain definitions of "the software industry" which exclude the International Business Machines Corporation.
They'd probably declare IBM as a hardware and services company, and not in the software business. Gotta love marketers...
Why stop at one?
The extra hundred is probably something he'll have to explain to his S.O.
