Zika on the other hand is carried by mosquitoes and anywhere the type of mosquitoes that can carry it are endemic it will be a threat.
Most parts of the USA that have mosquitoes also have measures in place to control and/or eliminate them, some more effective than others. I would hope that those measures would help control this, along with other mosquito born diseases.
Actually, no. Before this law was passed, North Carolina was going to gain 1200 new jobs; 400 from Paypal and 800 from whatever company you work for. Now, they're only getting 800, because the other 400 are going somewhere else.
You want to knock europe off? Cut the link cables.
That's not as easy as it looks. Europe has connections to the US across the Atlantic, to Africa across the Mediterranean and to Asia through Turkey, the Ukraine and Russia. And that's ignoring any satellite links.
Back when you and I first joined Slashdot, its motto was, "News for nerds; stuff that matters." I'd like to think that an article about how air pollution is causing more preterm births is something that matters, even to nerds.
My understanding is that it refers to the three cornered hat that Haman wore, although some people think it's a reference to his pockets. I've never heard of it having anything to do with his ears before; where did you find that meaning?
Yes. Exactly. Granted, those dancers are being paid to (among other things) look like they're having a great time but I can't imagine any of them having to be forced to dance. They knew what the gig was, they'd seen the costumes ahead of time, if only to make sure that they fit properly, and they could have turned the job down if they felt there was anything wrong with it.
Now, speaking of a heterosexual male, I think that it would have been much better if the entertainment had included some dancing men as well, not because it's PC to think that way but because that way, non-lesbian women and gay men could some eye candy that appealed to their tastes, meaning that they could have something to watch and wouldn't feel left out. (Would I have thought of this if I'd have been in charge of setting that party up? I honestly don't know, but I'd rather hope that I would.)
Who told me that installing the.run file from nVidia required a reboot? The instructions on their website, every time I've looked. Granted, that's not been for several years, but I've seen comments from other users on support sites that confirm that it's still true.
I take it, then, that you've never tried to install the nVidia drivers using the.run file downloaded from the OEM's website. I did, once, and quickly learned my lesson. Never again. I don't use nVidia to get the best results on games, because I'm not a gamer; I use them because they work well and, with akmod-nvidia working I can get the eyecandy I like with a minimum of fuss and/or bother. The only time I've ever needed to remove and reinstall all of the nVidia stuph is when I've upgraded the card, because as long as the card doesn't change, the rpmfusion drivers Just Work.
I've been using Fedora ever since Fedora Core 6. Does that count as "decent?" And, as I mentioned, the repackaged binary blobs, aka akmod-nvidia, are in the third-party rpmfusion repo, but only because they don't (and can't) fit Fedora's rather strict licensing requirements. The only way you can tell that they're working is that the first time you boot it takes somewhat longer because it takes time to assemble the appropriate kmod for it. No user intervention, no booting into a CLI, no extra reboot. Even Ubuntu doesn't manage that. (My sister uses Xubuntu. When she boots into a new kernel, it asks permission to install third-party software; once she agrees, it reboots, does the dirty work and reboots One More Time. The only good thing about it is, all she has to do is click OK; she doesn't need to know the rest of the process.)
You do understand, don't you, that nVidia has never provided OSS drivers for Linux? Their Linux drivers are nothing more than binary blobs that you can only install by booting into a CLI, then rebooting after the installation is complete. And, you have to do the exact same thing each and every time your kernel is updated. Yes, Fedora uses a simpler system, akmod-nvidia, but that's just a repackaging of the binary blob for those of us who don't want to reboot twice every time there's a new kernel.
It used to be that if you served in the US Navy you were almost certain to have damaged hearing. I know a few old sailors that can't hear so well. It was common for such people to get disability pay for this but no more.
Ha, ha. It is to laugh. I served on the Gun Line back in '72, with our 5"/54 doing shore bombardment during the Easter Offensive. Yes, we had hearing protection when we were topside, but those of us in the Forward Berthing Compartment didn't have any when we were asleep. One morning I woke up and learned that there'd been a forty round bombardment, and I hadn't woken up even once. Really shows what you can get used to, doesn't it?
Now, I have significant hearing loss in both ears that's clearly caused by my exposure to the outbound back then. It's rated at 0%, so I don't get any money for it, but I do get free hearing aids, batteries and hearing care. My tinnitus, however, is rated at 10%, so I get some compensation for that, as well as for my diabetes. It's a good thing that I do, because without the VA I couldn't possibly afford the fifteen oral prescriptions and the insulin that keep me alive, what with one thing and another. Maybe you should consider learning something about how the USN and the VA treat hearing issues before you shove your foot down your throat again.
Are they all the same IP by any chance. There might be a web accelerator cache like Varnish or NGINX in front of the forum web server. Then the web server sees the cache server IP, not the remote connection IP, and puts that into the forum.
No, some of them are various IPs from the 192.168.X.Y range and a few of them are from 10.X.Y.Z. I'm not sure how the server gets them, or where from, but they're not all the same.
I'm a moderator on a support forum for the Linux distro I use. (It doesn't matter which one.) All posts by new users are moderated until a moderator changes their status from New User to Registered User. On the moderation page, all poster's IP addresses are listed, and they're all the machine's personal IP, not their connection's public IP. Unless Microsoft is storing the public IP, what they have is useless. I can't help but wondering if they really expect to get anything from this they can use, or it's just a scare tactic intended to discourage misuse of the activation codes.
How about no watch devices period? Don't some smart watches look a bit too much like an analog watch, or am I mistaken? Nothing on the wrist might be better.
I wouldn't mind it in the least if I had to remove my watch during an exam because I probably don't need to know what time it is and that's about all it's good for. I would, however, be very reluctant to remove the MedicAlert bracelet on my other arm; it's saved my life more than once, and I wouldn't trust the instructor to remember it if/when I passed out during a long exam because of low blood sugar.
Auto shops also have an incentive to pass the car, or at least almost pass the car and then do some work on it.
Here in California, the shop that does the testing is forbidden to do any needed repairs for exactly that reason. And, if you do need repairs, the shop that did the original test can't charge for the retesting.
The dispersion tells you how much non-dark matter the signal passed near during its trip here.
I don't think that I ever knew enough physics to understand how the frequency dispersion works, but i was under the impression that it was caused by the signal going through a part of space where the density of matter was higher than average, not just by going near it. And, while I'm thinking about it, how near does it have to get in order to get this effect? I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I would appreciate a little clarification here.
That's got to be their problem. The world isn't set up for their convenience, and if they can't accept that, it's nobody's fault except their own. (Well, maybe their parents if they were brought up as special snowflakes, but once they're adults, it's their job to adapt to the world, not the world's job to adapt to them.)
Yes. I never minded banner ads because they were always at the very top of the page and it was no bother scrolling them off the top of the screen without even reading them.
Good question. TFA explains that a female zebra finch will lay one egg a day for five days, but she won't start incubating them until they're all laid. This means that all five will hatch at about the same time, making them easier to care for. If the weather's too hot, the first eggs laid start developing before she starts sitting on them, messing up the timing. And, if it gets hot enough in the nest, the embryos can be damaged or even killed.

Probably not. I bet, however, that they'd be able to DOS it quite effectively.

I think the end of Facebook and Twitter would actually make the world a significantly better place for many reasons.
Indeed. When I first read the summary on the front page, my first thought was, "And nothing of value was lost."
Just wait until the women who've used this realize that there's nobody around for them to stick with child support.
Thank you. Asked and answered.
