    That depends on which country that this is about.

    Where I live almost all wiring is in conduits allowing the wiring to be pulled and replaced. But pulling out wiring without replacing it is generally the most stupid idea one can get.

    So if the RG59 is pulled out then it should be replaced with CAT7 or something.

    Or re-purpose it for a central TV antenna system.

    A dipole is actually 75 ohm, so RG59 works fine as a feed line.

    We already are asked in every shop today if we are members or want to be members, all to get our privacy invaded.

  7. This shows that you are well off enough to not have to worry too much. The numbers are just numbers. What counts is how many hours you have to work to pay for your housing and food.

    The only thing that bugs me - ford focus. :p

  8. And what if they don't have any student loans at all?

    Three kids should be possible to raise, even if the budget would be tight.

    This article makes it look like the situation that many lived under in the 30's.

  9. This just highlights that the real problem isn't an income problem but an expense problem.

    Even worse - the responsible people were told that the transfer was even an illegal move by the internal revision people of that department but they moved ahead anyway. Responsible ministers kept silent and didn't even inform the prime minister of this.

    Nothing less than a public flogging would be suitable.

  13. With a large conglomerate it's not a question of IF, it's a question of WHEN. And those companies can move slowly to remain undetected for a long time until they finally get discovered, but at that time they may have infiltrated the world so tight that they are hard to remove. Look at Facebook - you can hardly browse the web without getting Facebook cookies poured into your browser.

    The workaround would be to have one patent holding company and another company using the software. That way you have different entities involved and the problem with the license is solved.

    And it's the same in Sweden since many years.

  19. And any fat you exercise away goes out in sweat or urine.

    The poop is just the part of what you digested that couldn't be absorbed.

  20. It's the diabetes itself that creates hunger feelings. Type 2 diabetes is because the cells are immune to insulin and insulin tells the cells to absorb the sugar. So the cells that needs energy are screaming for more and you feel hungry but the blood sugar level is high so the body converts it to fat. An evil circle.

    Low carbohydrate and exercise may turn it around unless it's too late.

  21. What's worse? One nuke or two? Does it matter when you are in the kill zone?

    Restaurant buffets are a blessing and a curse - you have to learn how much to pick and what and still get a healthy and good meal.

  22. Or better, skip sugar.
    Milk, no sugar for me.

    The problem is that we have too much of easily available carbohydrates in our food today causing the blood sugar levels to do bungyjumping all over the place resulting in us being tired, hungry and develop diabetes.

    It depends on the job and the employer if it's worth to stick around.

    But having "non-competitive" laws is almost like Jim Crow laws.

    And dialog boxes for software installation in the middle of the screen is a bugger too, especially if you have something that takes an eternity to perform.

    Some dialog boxes aren't even showing in the task bar and when you close all other windows you see one at the desktop. WTF was they thinking about?
