buggy compilers, incompletely documented hardware and similar issues
Well yes, as the husband of someone who wears an insulin pump, I do expect you to get your shit together before shipping the product. And considering how much we pay for these pumps and sensors, I think it's reasonable for you to demand properly documented hardware and correct compilers from your suppliers.
I also need to consider cryptography.
OR... you could stop trying to make medical devices that try to be part of the Internet of Things, and only provided the external connectivity needed to download data from the device. If firmware updates are needed, make that something that's done at a repair center, using a communications port that end users can't or won't normally access.
Dude. It's in the second sentence of the summary. Or do you make it a habit of typing people whose names you don't recognize into Google Image with SafeSearch turned off for some reason?
Actually, that's exactly what happened, to be honest. Apparently I'm in a small minority though, given the negative feedback on this thread.
It would be a horrible civil war, at least in the U.S. The citizenry is so divided on so many issues, that I believe the battles would continue long after the federal government was overthrown.
Early in the video, the narrator said "our eyes just know that these (shown on the screen) videos are real", with the point being that later on he was going to surprise us that they were in fact renditions by his product.
But when I was looking at those images, I was actually thinking that they didn't look real to me. For some reason, I found myself thinking of Half-life 2.
That's the problem with liberals like Gates. They are very good at telling others how to be responsible citizens but consider themselves exempt from that
There's a classic quip about that. "A liberal is someone who will give you the shirt off of someone else's back."
This was my experience as well. I have lots of experience, but I decided to get a PhD both to scratch a personal itch and to maybe open some employment doors.
What I found was that it did open a few particular doors, including for my current job which I'm really enjoying.
However, the number of doors open, compared to if I'd just stopped at a Master's degree, is probably lower. Especially if you consider the years I was working on my PhD rather than keeping up with the latest buzzword-bingo skills.
I guess I had to learn the lesson the hard way, despite some pretty clear warnings: unless you're going for a career in academia or research, you're better off stopping at a masters.
Exactly. Those xians are so stupid as you note. They are all racist and want to murder us minorities. That is the way of their kind. They flood the streets with guns to kill young black men, and they know that by denying them ER care that more of us will die. That is their ultimate plan. They are denying us healthcare in order to kill us.
I... think you're focusing on a minor bigotry of the GP, which was not really related to his main point.

Sounds like you have some underlying religious assumptions.

The League of Extraordinary Lobbyists?
The NFL also gets nonprofit status on top of this. Could we do more to support them?
I dunno. Let's rename them to the Israeli Football League and see what happens.

I didn't realize she was under-age when I saw the headline. A few quick Google searches later, and I'd unwittingly accessed what counts as child porn.
Serious, Slashdot editors, this title needs a fix to include a warning, like instantly.
They're concerned about being sued by readers for repetitive stress injuries stemming from eye-rolling at these articles.
Then how the hell did it end up in Texas?
Well, I'm going to assume someone upgraded it to Extreme Zoonosis. Heck, even Greenland's not safe now.
Correction:
int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
App * app = LoadFromYear( 1987, "HyperCard" );
return app->run( argc, argv );
}
Well then. Revolution it is.

My impression is that most policemen are ultimately deferential to those who pay them.
I'd say just to be safe, you should be using 3- or 4-phase commit.
I'm afraid you were still semi-wooshed. I was actually making a reference to this.
Because Postgres isn't web-scale. I want web-scale.

I think Walmart has already solved that design problem. They're called "cankles".
Not only that we're talking about voxels, but also we're actually Slashdotting an origin server.

I think you'd need to be more specific regarding which mess you're talking about. We have a lot of issues at the moment.
I'm sure his press secretary would argue that was more of an aspirational statement. And that it was necessitated by Republican inaction.
I dunno. Dick Cheney or Nancy Pelosi might be worse.

Your login is "LostMyBeaver". I'm sorry, but I just have to ask... did you have a sex change?
Maybe they should just offer a link to a free YYZ download with every Netflix membership. Problem solved.
