Sadily, there will never be a voice an genune as Ricardo Montalban.
There was one, once, but Senator Everett Dirksen is long gone. Shame, really, because he had a voice like a pipe organ. He was a delight to listen to, even if you disagreed with him and he was the first serving US Senator to put out a record album.
The only thing I've heard is that you have to scrape the inside of a husk...
The husk of a nutmeg is where the spice mace comes from, and in fact, mace was used as a spice long before nutmeg itself. I doubt that you could get high on mace, but I do know that a teaspoon or so of nutmeg in warm milk makes it much more effective as a sleep aid. (Never tried it, or needed it, but I've read about it in enough places I'd trust that I believe it.)
Back when I was young and less sensible about things (I'm talking about thirty-odd years ago, and some of them were very, very odd.) my favorite way to combine caffeine and alcohol was to start off with a shot of tequila and follow it up with a glass of Mexican Coffee. (Like Irish, but substitute tequila for the Irish Whiskey.) When I finished that, I'd have a refill on both. The tequila got me drunk and the caffeine got me wired, making for an odd, wide-awake drunk. It never made me sick enough to puke, but the hangovers were bad enough to keep me from doing it very often. Now, I'm Type II, and wouldn't even consider something like that.
I worked at one company where I'm sure I missed out on getting a transfer to a new department where I could have done a lot of good and learned new things because my new manager asked me how much I was getting. I could see from his expression that I'd lost out the moment he learned that I was making more than he was. Not only had I received a merit increase at one point, but our annual raises were a percentage, and even if my percentage was average, it still meant a bigger raise than the other techs got, and the gap just got bigger every year. Now, imagine what would happen if you were looking for a new job and your potential employer was able to learn what you were really getting instead of what you wanted him to think your salary/hourly was.
A large company should have an internal mailing list and/or intranet system that individual users can post messages to.
Yes, but letting J. Random User post to mailing lists with names like "all-staff," "all-sales" or "all-tech" is nothing more than an email storm waiting to happen. You know, or should, that there are lusers who will hit Reply to All because they have a question about the email, and others who will reply the same way. And, of course, there will be the biggest lusers who will try to LART the offender privately, but will forget and spew their reprimand for the whole list to see.
If so, things have changed since my father was running a small business. Not impossible, as he retired in the late '70s. What I wrote was how things worked Way Back Then; I didn't realize that it's changed. Thanx for the correction.
Aha! I see. Thanx. Presumably, it will be designed so that the blood sample can't come into contact with the phone. At least, I hope so. If not, your concerns would certainly be justified.
Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed these people are NOT getting something for nothing, they all paid their unemployment insurance tax while working as so are perfectly entitled to the benefits.
I don't know what state you live in, but that's not true in California. Employers don't pay into the State Unemployment Fund, employers do. Then, if they fire somebody, that person is entitled to unemployment compensation, taken out of their former employer's contributions. That's why (in California) if you quit, you don't get any unemployment benefits; by quitting voluntarily, you forfeited them. BTW, that's why your boss just loves to hear you say, "You can't fire me; I quit!"
I don't know where you're getting the idea that the phone is part of the testing equipment. Like any good Slashdotter, I haven't RTFA, but I get the impression that the Java applet would be used to transmit the results to the hospital and allow a doctor, nurse or paramedic to give further instructions or advice based on the results.
Is it reasonable if the cost to the sick is such that 10 people can't afford it and face continued sickness, injury or death?
No matter how little it costs there will be some people who won't be able to afford it, unless it's free. Is it worth it if 100,000 people who couldn't reach a clinic can afford it but 100 homeless people can't? If not, why not?
As for mass, I would guess it has something to do with using spectrometers to get good ideas about out how much of each element is out there
I'm no physicist, but I do know that the orbital velocity of an object depends on two things: its distance from the system's center of gravity and the mass of the system in question. Getting a more accurate measure of our orbital velocity gave us a better estimate of the mass.
Its amazing how fast people will start breaking the rules if you start on the premise that they already are, and treat them accordingly.
You mean like the **AA and their minions do? Or, for that matter, the way Redmond does with its WGA? Or, just maybe, the way the TSA does at the airport?
Years ago, I worked with a woman who'd had three complete sets of teeth. Just after she finished getting rid of her baby teeth, her front teeth started to get loose. The dentist couldn't find anything wrong, but X-rays revealed that there was a third set of teeth growing below, so she had to go through the whole process again as a teenager.
Same here, but by now, there's only one left. (Two decayed and a third suddenly crumbled on me and the remainder had to be pulled because there wasn't enough left to be worth salvaging.)
For example, they could have analyzed the wear on each key from his keyboard, to figure out which letters were more likely to have been used in a password.
Assuming that he was using English, that would have lead them to believe that his password consisted mostly of the letters etoanirsh as those are the most commonly used letters in English. If so, it probably wasn't much help to them, especially when you consider how often he had to use that password in comparison to whatever else he was doing day to day.
It also hat to wait until there were browsers that could be extended with add-ons or extensions. Please note that popups were blocked before ads in general because they were much more annoying.

Not only that, it makes wholesale identity theft nice and easy.
Tell that to the leadership of the GOP and watch them laugh at you.
"Look, guys, if you're going to do this properly, you're going to have to do it from scratch. Now, let's see you create your own dirt."
Yes, but letting J. Random User post to mailing lists with names like "all-staff," "all-sales" or "all-tech" is nothing more than an email storm waiting to happen.

Thank you for pointing that out. It's supposed to read, "Employees don't pay into the State Unemployment Fund, employers do."
Aha! I see. Thanx. Presumably, it will be designed so that the blood sample can't come into contact with the phone. At least, I hope so. If not, your concerns would certainly be justified.

It will be out just in time for you to run Duke Nukem Forever on it.
True. However, he never told you what type of change he was planning, did he?
I'm no physicist, but I do know that the orbital velocity of an object depends on two things: its distance from the system's center of gravity and the mass of the system in question. Getting a more accurate measure of our orbital velocity gave us a better estimate of the mass.
Either that, or yell as loudly as you can that "the debate is over and we have a consensus," then ignore anybody who doesn't agree with you.
So let me guess: your new password is w0rdPass!!

I bet you don't give them as much attention as Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke did in High Anxiety. That guy was really obsessive-compulsive about it.
Assuming that he was using English, that would have lead them to believe that his password consisted mostly of the letters etoanirsh as those are the most commonly used letters in English. If so, it probably wasn't much help to them, especially when you consider how often he had to use that password in comparison to whatever else he was doing day to day.
