What's even better, is that in the US it could cost wildly differently based on who the health provider is.
I did immunotherapy shots for seasonal allergies in the recent past, and the only reason I could afford it was because the HMO I was a patient of administered the shots via "nurse practitioners", so there was a $5 copay per shot plus 30 minutes of reading magazines to make sure I'm still breathing. And that's it.
I really miss that health plan - I'd still be with them if I hadn't moved across the country for a promotion.
Yes, standard immunotherapy shots for seasonal allergies have been doing this for some time. But, it hasn't been an effective method of treatment for several allergies, specifically food allergies like shellfish and nuts.
Apparently we can take that last one off the list.
(Note: I underwent immunotherapy for seasonal allergies, which helped some, but did nothing for my main year-round allergy to dust mites, which are practically impossible to avoid.)
Lenovo is making a play to keep enterprise business, and choke Dell and HP off to consumer space only. Lenovo has some incredible services that come along with a contract to buy their stuff in an enterprise. They just bought IBM's xSeries and BladeCenter business. They are in quite tight with Intel when it comes to vPro management and SmartConnect. They are now rebadging thin clients and competing VERY hard on price against both Wyse (Dell) and HP.
This is a play to deal with their failures in the tablet space - they tried to get into business with the Lenovo Tablet (Android) and it didn't go anywhere because Android just wasn't ready for enterprise at the time. The Lenovo Tablet II used an Intel Atom processor and Windows 8, well you can imagine how that worked out. Even Intel guys didn't like that product because there was noticeable time between tapping, and things happening; and that doesn't even get into the shittyness that is Windows 8.
Motorola sells shitloads of gear to enterprise - handheld scan guns, manageable access points, ruggedized handhelds, etc. Lenovo now gets that business to leverage the rest of their sales as a "one stop shop" that no one else is set up to compete with - all they need to do is partner with a MDM provider that isn't garbage, and they'll already be better than Motorola was in 2010 when they were trying to hawk MSP to world+dog...
It's pretty sad when you can get a Nobel Prize for not doing / being things. I wonder if someone could get a Nobel Prize in physics for converting the mechanical energy harvested from Alfred Nobel oscillating in his grave into the ultimate in renewable energy...
It's pretty incredible that first we beat the launchers into plowshares in the 60s to put man in space; then disassembled the warheads, unenriched the nuclear fuel and used it for power generation.
Don't forget that if you use that depleted uranium tamper in your last scenario, not only do you get a metric shit-tonne of fission, but you also get an incredibly dirty cloud of half-used radioisotopes and daughter products extending several kilometers into the sky for all kinds of nice fallout effects.
These are weapons we're talking about here. Cleanliness doesn't matter as much when you're looking to vaporize a few square miles, and incinerate / lay flat a few dozen more surrounding them by way of the ensuing firestorm and overpressure wave.
I believe they would be relying on the Department of Justice to arrest and prosecute. And if you think that the Attorney General that also lied to Congress under oath is going to do anything but laugh at them and flip the bird, then you're delusional.
It's okay to lie to the public, that's all fun and games. But when you lie under oath to Congress, a Grand Jury, or in a court of law, that's a felony.
Now only if the CIA had an Office of Congressional Affairs that could have worked with the Intelligence committees to make sure their Director wasn't put in a position of either perjuring himself or illegally declassifying information...
I'm pretty sure that Clapper could have answered "I cannot answer that question in a public session, as it would violate the National Security Act of 1945."
In previous Congressional hearings regarding CIA malfeasance (Church hearings in the 1970s, Iran / Contra in the 1980s, 9/11 Commission, etc.) they have had closed sessions where the disclosure of classified information or the identity of covert operatives may be necessary. The transcripts are then redacted before release.
Oh no! A credit rating agency, that clearly is infallible judging by how they rated the commoditized mortgage-backed securities, downgraded the US Treasury from AAA to AA1 / AA+!! THE END IS NIGH!
Never mind that AA1 / AA+ is still 9 ratings above "speculative" - this is still a rating that any country or company would be incredibly proud of. Most large corporations happily sell bonds at Baa2 in a rolling cash flow in order to normalize balances for payroll and expense operations, and have exactly no problems moving their paper. The only reason to increase the credit rating is to get a lower interest rate, and interest rates are so fucking low on investment-grade paper that there is no point.
Regardless of the largely political move of lowering the credit rating, US Treasury Bonds are still the safest place to invest - any of the most recent debt auctions should be proof of that. The interest rates are laughably low - massively under the rate of inflation. The AAA rating doesn't make one shit of a difference.
My high school in Oregon classified Music as a foreign language credit. Didn't hear one single gripe from any teachers. Can't imagine this would be any different - I doubt kids will be lining up outside the lab to learn Java instead of French.
Depends on where you are in Kentucky. Oh, everyone loves the narrative that Kentucky is filled with barefoot overall-wearing good ol' boys with a mason jar of moonshine on the creaky porch with a sprig of wheat coming out of the corner of their mouth, but everyone seems to forget that if you cross a river in Northern Kentucky, you are in the Central Business District of Cincinnati, Ohio; a fairly large city with significant history and home to several Fortune-100 headquarters.
Yes, $300k will go farther than Puget Sound, the Bay Area, LA or New York; but not as far as you would think.
A marketing guy said something untrue? SAY IT ISN'T SO!
I'm guessing the only reason this story is here is so they can rack a couple OMG APPLE IS SO ARROGANT FUCK THEM posts from 7-digit newcomers around here.
Slashdot Mirror
The Apple puck mouse thinks that the beta is painful and unusable.
That's how bad it is.
Sometimes there's a difference between what Congress agrees to, and what the State Department negotiates.
As to why Congress won't ratify, the reasons are many; legitimate or not.
Functioning as designed, for better or worse.
Never mind that there are actually 8 nations with confirmed nuclear weapons:
United States
Russia
China
United Kingdom
France
India
Pakistan
North Korea
And one nation with unconfirmed nuclear capability: Israel.
Oh, but only "america" is allowed according to you.
Amazing! That's the same combination I have on my luggage!
You would have to have a really tiny blender if you were only blending one peanut!

Recycling at it's finest!
As opposed to the bill (and risks) of having assembled nuclear weapons being barely guarded and dispersed across Asia.
I'll happily pay for the disposal.

How about Contempt of Congress and / or Perjury? For precedent: http://www.nytimes.com/1984/01...

This was a straight up, under oath, lie.

Yeah, because learning Spanish is going to help you equally if you are in Korea.

Yeah, I hear that G. Gordon Liddy is still getting orders to break into places and wiretap phones.
That was 40 years ago, and nobody remotely involved with that mess is still anywhere near politics.

God I miss the pre-Dice Slashdot.
They did increase their share of a shrinking market. Yes.
Which is exactly what the GP post said.
