Uh, yeah there is. People want to change the inputs, outputs, add HD radio, blah blah blah. Now, do that while keeping the original audio quality intact. I have a stereo from 1988, 1996, and 2006.
There is a noticeable audio quality drop off when listening to CD between them as time goes on, and I paid more and more for them because I wanted to get something I could listen to and even brought a few home in 2006 that I had to return the next day they sounded so awful when I was listening to my music (and not broken FM in the store).
Most of the targeting is based on making the beam mainly hit the tumor that they want to hit. Methods include using a beam (you can't really focus x-rays), and making that beam enter form various angles so that the surrounding cells get a lower dose than what the beam hits. But that is very crude. It's like trying to kill your kidney while leaving your other organs intact by bashing you with a baseball bat from all sides instead of just bashing right at the kidney.
Gold and platinum would have to accumulate in the cell because they figure out how to attach them to something that is selectively taken up into the cancer cells. Generally, this is how chemo works, some nasty chemical is delivered something it is riding on, or just happens to be selectively taken up into the cell. In some cases, the chemical is taken up only near the injection site and changes into something (more) inert as it moves away so that a needle can deliver the chemical to a gland or tumor spot.
This article is proposing what you might see as a combo of chemo and x-rays.
Your response was articulate and clear but represents the sort of fundamental misunderstanding of computing now that Ubuntu is exactly what I'm have a problem with. i.e.
The "Ubuntu GUI" is more of a way to use the standard desktop stuff, not to administer a server.
I want to use unison to sync my photo libraries across two laptops. This does not require a piece of hardware called a server, so I'm going to go ahead and call it a laptop task. I can do most of this from the GUI in apple, but installing and running unison requires the CLI (notice how installing and running it both required the CLI, I know what I was in for when I got it).
Ubuntu Software Center doesn't have a way to update the repository listings but Ubuntu will check for updates once a day if you're on the Internet so this should be automatic.
When I tried to install sshd it just kept failing. Eventually I figured that it wasn't the server but a needed update. It was 4 days out of date when I ran apt-get and updated it at the CLI. The computer is connected to the internet when on and on daily, so it is more broken that I initially suspected.
Ubuntu doesn't strictly have one of these although it has a few programs which fill the role: Ubuntu Software Center, Update Manager, and Synaptic.... I'd argue that Synaptic is the true front end for apt-get, and it's very comprehensive.
[puts head in hands and cries] are there any more... no, I don't want to know.
This is probably something that can be fixed in in Debian and Ubuntu. It is annoying how some software lags behind.
yeah, it could be fixed, but it isn't.
As for sshd, it doesn't enable remote root access by password as Ubuntu ships with no root password.
Just installed sshd today and password access was on as well as root. Again, giving a GUI that lets you install and run sshd in this manner is the computer equivalent of handing someone a loaded gun and not asking if they are sure they know how not to shoot themselves first. It is a basic question, and it could save lots of anguish, so why not ask? If you are going to insist on handing them the guy, at least throw on the safety or something.
GUIs for server daemons aren't unified because you can pick your favorite software package and use it. This gives you more power and choice with the drawback of needing to know how each package works.
Nope, gives you more crap tools to learn, each with its own feel. There are probably 20 servers that you could rattle off that a user might want to run from their desktop/laptop (not server). There is no reason that when you turn on to the "on" position and it is not installed that it couldn't say, "I have to install that, wait a minute..." and then install it and turn it on.
I guess my frustration was that the GUI gave me a really easy way to install sshd but no way to manage it. I'd have been fine if it said, "caution, I only install" or better yet, "this took available for CLI installation only." Its when you throw in a GUI that I get confused.
They make a USB version for purchase in the store.
Having used Ubuntu for awhile now I really appreciate the Apple way of doing things. A few complaints about ubuntu:
when the version of my four day old local copy of the repository was not correct, the GUI offered no help, it just wouldn't work;
the GUI for apt-get doesn't let me refresh the local copy of the repository, forcing me to us the CLI, sigh;
there is no "open" command on the Ubuntu CLI (on Apple's this is like a double click, it open the file with the program it is associated with), this is both obvious and easy (you already have the associations if you have a GUI double click);
the Ubuntu package manager is crustier than the Mac package manager, i.e. the apt-get for unison is way out of date, the Mac Ports version is newer;
after I installed sshd via the apt-get GUI, it just started running and I had no way of controlling it except via the config file. If I was a user who didn't understand the CLI, I would be cooked at this point. The config file is a good place to fine tune, but basic options like on/off should be in the GUI (and I should have to turn it on myself), but not even saying something like, "if you want to control this security nightmare, you need to learn to use the CLI. Just as a heads up, I turned on remote root access by password so you'd better run." The only helpful note was that you should have a good password before you install. If you read slashdot you know users can not be relied on to do that.
GUIs for servers are not unified. Apple has put all servers on/off switches and the basic settings they let you modify in the GUI in a single place, this makes managing a computer much easier when you are talking about a laptop you want just a few servers running on for odds and ends uses (obviously, for production server a GUI with less than complete functionality is more annoying than helpful, but I'm talking about the versions for a desktop/laptop here). They did more than that too, like when you start a server, it changes the firewall config to allow the server to accept incoming connections.
Basically, the Ubuntu GUI is half-baked. It would be better if it weren't there. I'll stick with my Apple and happily pay more for a computer that just works and never makes me move from GUI to CLI. If I want to do something that requires the CLI (like using the package manager) then I start and end on the CLI.
Russia is so poor that we cleanup their excess nuclear weapons (remember John Kerry wanted to double the program in the 2004 Presidential debates?). There is no way that if the US dropped its total number Russia would not follow suit to save money too. China might want to hang on to a larger stockpile, but there is no advantage to them to striking the US--their economy would completely collapse, their rich and ruling classes would be outraged.
There are also problems like the article talks about "profit" but music distribution hasn't been profitable in quite awhile, there is no such thing as profit.
There are lots of other problems with the article, like why should I care? Who works on an album? engineers, sales people, credit card companies, DJs, and artist. Everybody needs to get paid. Yeah, it is always a good thing when you can cutout the middle man, but often times when you do that you discover why they were there in the first place--they know how to do their job and they do it well. Sometimes you discover that they weren't helpful and you make a mint.
When I brought this objection to my local perl guru he pointed out that for him it was often easier to rewrite perl code from scratch than debug old perl code. aka, it's a feature!
The thing about P2P is that it need not communicate with CnC destinations, only a few need to do that / or the CnC only needs to communicate with a few of them.
Think of how they get Al Capone. Noting would make federal prosecutors more interested in the GPL than if they thought it was the best way to nail a bad guy.
BTW, I like the idea of malware coming with a GPL license agreement and link to the source code.
Yeah, I'll bet your honeypot system would be squeaky clean, plus just this program. Digging this out from all the other crap on the machine would take months.
I worked for the USG and the computer would not let you connect a USB drive that wasn't owned by that agency (and all the USB drives were encrypted to NIST standards), or read or write a CD/DVD.
There is the family where three people who want to play the game so it might be worth $20 each for a total of $60. They would only buy a copy then for $20. And the family where only one person wants to play the game and never resell it. They would be willing to pay the full $60. And the family with only one person who wants to play the game and then resell it (where your analysis is right).
But they can't price it right for all possible situations.
Then you might want to become a liberal. Thomas (arch-conservative) and Breyer (moderate liberal) voted against the majority but Alito (conserative) and Roberts (conservative) indicated that their support for the decision was soft and that they thought it was too sweeping according to the WaPo story on it. That makes the next challenge, essentially, start from a 5-4 decision... ripe for change and "clarification."

I wonder, why isn't this just called open?
I get why gnome-open and kde-open aren't, but xdg-open? Are they leaving it open to some non-x-open?

So you posted this over the 14K connection then?
You can buy it in a store, on a USB drive, for $40 more.

This basically means that they are out of software zero day exploits.
Having a walled garden is definitely responsible for Apple's high level of security.

It's not all to MS's credit? I thought the OS was there to provide resources to applications. One example might be the "still on" resource.
I worked for the USG and the computer would not let you connect a USB drive that wasn't owned by that agency (and all the USB drives were encrypted to NIST standards), or read or write a CD/DVD.
Yeah, basically they would buy it for $60 with marketing/hype and it being a new game, but once it is last year's game...
If this were not true, the guys who would buy it for $60 can wait for it to be $20 to buy it any way (why not?).
"In no possible way is this bad for them."
There is the family where three people who want to play the game so it might be worth $20 each for a total of $60. They would only buy a copy then for $20. And the family where only one person wants to play the game and never resell it. They would be willing to pay the full $60. And the family with only one person who wants to play the game and then resell it (where your analysis is right).
But they can't price it right for all possible situations.
Interesting to see where he would stand on a similar law outlawing women's speech. I'd think he would have to say the same.
