I know this is meant tongue-in-cheek, but if taken at face value it's completely wrong. I've been married for about 20 years. I think the pleasures of being married to my wife this long, and of her being able to trust me, and of not having betrayed my family, far outweigh any benefit I would have gotten from succumbing to the temptation to cheat.
So aspiring cheaters should actually despair that some technology increases their temptation to cheat. In my estimation, they're just being more tempted to make a mistake.
Could copious nuclear fusion allow us to effectively reverse global warming by (at an insanely large scale) break atmospheric CO2 and H2O back into hydrocarbons and O2?
And, would cheap energy let us sensibly deal with that huge floating island of garbage that's apparently floating around the Pacific?
It sounds like chlorine bleach does the trick. But I'm not sure if there's an overlap between (a) a concentration that will definitely do the trick, and (b) what I'd be willing to swim in.
Actually, that's common advice good for flu as well (flu season's coming!).
I second this. I started being conscientious about this a few years ago, and I now get sick a lot less often. And that's with having a few kids in school, plus having started to using public transportation during that period.
I have no idea how much that helps with Ebola, but if we're lucky, most of us have more to fear from the flu.
Can anyone here explain to me the issue if/how we can map nerves correctly?
For example: suppose someone's finger gets cut off, and then surgeons manage to reattach it.
I assume that since there are many distinct sensory nerve endings on a finger, each of those must be carried along a distinct electrical pathway up to the brain.
When a surgeon reattaches a finger, does he/she somehow get all of those hundreds(?) of connections to be lined up properly so that the mapping is the same as it was before the accident? If so, how? If not, what happens?
Same thing for me. I'm going to be dual U.S. / Irish soon (currently U.S.), so that I can work while my family has an extended stay in Germany. Between the U.S.'s insane politics, and FACTA, I'm so pissed off that I'm planning to drop my U.S. citizenship if Germany works out well.
I have unbecoming fantasies about having an hour alone with myself, a tire iron, and every politician who wants to call me unpatriotic for walking away from their self-serving incompetent anti-Constitutional treason.
I disagree with your reasoning. We can make a distinction between (a) someone who actually has violated the law, vs. (b) someone whom the state has judged to have violated the law.
I believe Holder was referring to group (a). The act of prosecution, which he appears unwilling to perform, is intended to move a person from merely being in state (a), to being in both state (a) and (b).
Yeah, isn't amazing that when government agents do something illegal, the courts say "stop doing that". But when private citizens do something illegal, even if it took 200 rounds of appeal because even judges couldn't decide if it was illegal, the citizen is held fully culpable.
Better yet: two counts of wire fraud and 11 violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution and supervised release.
Nah. Eric Holder has already stated that he has broad latitude in prosecuting criminals. She might win in civil court, but there's no way those apparent criminals are going to jail.
It's late 2014, for crying out loud. It's almost 2015! We shouldn't have to deal with a Linux kernel. We should just have to install systemd and then we can have a working system.
The Linux kernel needs to go. It needs to be replaced with systemd.
That's foolishness. Neither a kernel nor systemd is needed. My system boots straight into Emacs, and has systemd implemented in elisp.
Wow, I lost most of my sense of smell over 10 years ago after what my doctors suspect was a virus. I still feel pretty good. I'm in good health with low cholesterol and normal blood pressure. Overall, I feel pretty good for a dea

You're not exactly getting an A in kindness and politeness yourself.
"In case of fire, exit plane BEFORE tweeting about it."
That's terrible advice. Those are exactly the people we want staying on the plane!
Funny that the video showed a Catholic nun on the plane, but not an Imam.
Curse my A.D.D. :/ Sorry about that.
Sure, but it's a bit disingenuous to not mention the $85k/year spent on air-conditioning :)
I suggest trying to avoid holding a given belief just because you like it.
Ah! Welcome, web developer!
Took the exam last year, and scored a 5 (New York City - in fact, Bronx HS of Science)
Why did you bother? I'm assuming from your low /. ID number that you're well out of high school.
You can't know that, unless you have foreknowledge of exactly which steps will have proven necessary to accomplish the ultimate goal.

I thought insulin was produced in the pancreas, not the spleen.
Holonyak's mistake is that he's missing life's opportunities for happiness and joy, because he's obsessed receiving adulation.
I'm sad for the trap into which he's fallen.

I wonder if one could argue that the person who installed the computer did not understand the EULA, and therefore no contract was formed.
At that point, Adobe could sue the user for copyright infringement, and the user could request criminal prosecution of Adobe for computer hacking.
Making a joke about someone not reading an article? You must be old here.
Why do we even have a Linux kernel these days?

Dead man walking!
You're a fucking idiot.
If I said "Human beings aren't supposed to have 6 legs and snakes growing out of their head", would you make the same ridiculous comment?
Go soak your head till the bubbles stop.
Man, you religious nuts can't take a joke.
