Then he/she would ingest both the rabbit and the radioactive materials, putting him/her at higher risk for certain diseases (most notably cancer). However, he/she would not be radioactive either.
That really depends on the contaminant and the dose. Radioactive poop indicates the rabbit was ingesting something contaminated, but without knowing what it is and the dose it's almost impossible to conclude someone eating the rabbit would be exposing themselves to any health risk at all.
Anyone else starting to see the TSA as a bigger problem than actual terrorists?
Not sure about the solution but what we have is dysfunctional. We know we can't count on the airlines to run airport security. But TSA is starting to treat the flying public like some inconvenience while doing little to thwart actual terrorists.
It's not that far off. They're using patents to stifle competition, including Linux. FTA:
But because Acer and Asustek are international vendors of netbook PCs, the actual motivation of Microsoft's royalty charge is to keep Acer and Asustek from using Google Android or Chrome OS instead of Windows Mobile for their netbook or tablet PCs, the sources pointed out.
I'm still sniffing around for a surplus Windows Server license to replace it.
I'm working at a small but growing office. We considered putting a Windows server in the mix, but with the CAL's it's just not in the budget. Once we got samba working there was no incentive to add it later. The registry tweaks for Windows 7 were painful at first, but once you get the process down it wasn't that bad. You do give up some functionality but save a lot of cash.
Microsoft are the ones shooting themselves in the foot. Charging customers for a software license, then charging them more to actually use it for anything. Get rid of CAL's and we'll start looking around for a box to run the PDC.
that a specification...is only fully open if "the specification can be freely implemented and shared under different software development approaches."
That doesn't mean only open source can participate, it means if you're not willing to waive your patent protections your products can't be included in the specs. There's nothing in the rule that prevents closed source from participating except their own short-sighted greed.
Wow, talk about a sense of entitlement. Change the rules so we can play the way we want to or we're going to take our toys and go home.
What's that got to do with the carrier as long as we stick within the limits of our data allowance?
Here those type reports are stunts put on to provide political cover for whatever consumer anal-raping legislation the teleco lobbyists happen to be pushing at that particular moment.
The same kind of stampede the herd straw man spectacle RIAA put on to get copyright legislation through.
That used to be true, not so much now. The place I'm working now, we pitched ClearOS as a great server platform that we could get for $215/year because it was new. The server platform free, but I didn't mention that. The money was for support and security subscription services.
We get out OSS platform, the company thinks they're getting a great deal on a new product. Everybody's happy...except MSFT.
You pay for a copy of Windows and you get 10 years of guaranteed patches from the date of release. Not too bad over all.
Obviously you don't sign the invoices for Microsoft products. You don't just pay for a copy of Windows server. You pay for the sever, then for CALS besides the seat licenses for the products that connect to that server. With MSFT you pay and pay and pay. Their prices, their upgrade schedule, their partners.
With RedHat you pay for annual service at the level you want. Or you can go with something like ClearOS and get updates and patches handled for you for less than $250 year or go with CentOS and do it yourself.
You don't get those options with M$. Stop apologizing for greedy corporate fucktards.
The assault on workers happening in the U.S. is going to continue unabated until those well-fed people you see on TV marching around dressed as Sam Adams figure out that there are bigger villains out there than the black guy in the White House.
I'm continually surprised how many/.ers are really right wing, pro-corporate, anti-union, anti-tax freeloaders. 40 years of "government is bad" has become a lifestyle for a lot of people here.
I'd be lost without Gmarks. As often as I rebuild computers and try different operating systems, I used to forget to backup my bookmark files all the time.
Usually remembered in the middle of the partition editor. D'oh!
The problem however remains that the judge did not sanction the DA or AG who decided that this obvious abuse of the law was a good idea.
And what stops them or the state patrol from doing it again? Just because the charges are dropped doesn't mean there's no penalty. Dude has an arrest record now, even if he gets that expunged, it's still in a database somewhere.
Unless the victims sue and start winning big judgments, this behavior isn't going to change.
They've been fucking around with it for almost 10 years.
I don't get it. We're working on try to fix a Windows workgroup network put together by a bunch of amateurs. How any Linux network could end up in worse shape than this mess is a mystery to me.
On the tech side we're using Ubuntu laptops and ClearOS on the network. The only problems we experience are the Windows clients though that's related to the history of poor administration.
If you have your network set up right the client OS doesn't matter.
Borrow some ideas from the utility control rooms I've been in. Everyone has and uses their own headsets, I might extend that to keyboards. Keeps people from passing the contagious thing of the week around a confined space when sharing monitoring stations.
There are a lot of expensive tools at work in those articles. A lathe, drill press, a gas torch for soldering, plus a lot of junk for spare parts. I think the equipment list would put this safely outside the hobbyist category.
Now if someone came up with a kit that you could use to convert an old flash gun, that would put in the hobbyist realm.
Actually, that's exactly what I'm thinking about doing. The Mod II of that idea is to maybe team up with some of the older tech guys in the area and start a company just for experienced techies. But I don't really need much help, I'm pretty sure I can carve out a niche on my own. Still, it's nice to share an office with like-minded people. You can do more, aim bid bigger gigs. It's a trade off.

How many right wingers have gone to jail for voter caging? Or voter intimidation? Talk about a double standard.

This would have been great advice 10 years ago, when MSFT might have had a chance to carve out a foothold in device computing, but not now.
It's like the Zune. An okay product but late to market and no evolution.
MSFT is what you get when your grandpa runs a tech company.
Now what are all five of their customers going to do for support?
That would be really helpful. MSFT would be a better company without monkey boy.
For a dead operating system there are some exciting advancements coming out.

Let me guess...mouse wheel, right? Happens to me all the time. No worries.
And I'm sure Fox News will apologize, just like they did after they helped frame Acorn.

Cost is generally not the biggest issue.

Better, if IT doesn't make their deadlines you could threaten to close the doors and drowned them like rats in a bucket. Muaahahahahaha!

I think the summary is the most self-serving OSS trash that I've read here.
No worse than the self-serving Microsoft trash and astroturfing the rest of us tolerate.

From the same state that was so critical of frivolous lawsuits and keeps trying to weasel creationism into science textbooks.
I'd wear getting sued by Texas as a badge of honor.
