I think crazy-douchebag-asshole comment who currently is the front runner (depending on poll) to become half of the realistic options to become the most powerful man on earth making a ridiculous statement about shutting down the internet with billg's help qualifies as "stuff that matters".
So you would save several small needle sticks a day to get pretty accurate results for thousands, if not tens of thousands of small needle sticks in the matter of a few minutes that I'd imagine aren't any more accurate.
They already have devices that can give instant readings and alert if blood sugar is too low. They're called continuous glucose monitors. Unfortunately though they still require a stick.
Why would those that created patent law care? The creators likely were the same group of people that ultimately represented plaintiffs and defendants in patent lawsuit. They created guaranteed continual employment for themselves and for generations to come.
Did the data breach speak out and cause the IT worker to be fired? Was the IT worker fired because he spoke out about the data breach? Was the IT worker already fired because of the data breach now speaking out?
The proper headline would read "IT Worker Speaks Out After Being Fired for Massive Georgia Data Breach"
Even those limits can be worked around. Banks that participate with CDARS for instance allow you to to effectively have a single account that exceeds the normal insured amount fully protected. The funds automatically get split up among multiple participating banks on the back end.
Unless you're a Browns fan. Then that's kind of like being a member of the libertarian or green party. Every now and then you get this false hope that finally NOW is the time...only to get blindsided by a freight train called reality and you never really had any chance.
But I am yet to see anyone change their pre-existing opinion as a result of these discussions.
It's just like every other hot topic issue these days: abortion, right to die, marijuana, immigration, health care, same sex marriages, taxes, climate change, computer operating system, smart phone, text editor, etc. There is no absolute answer to fix all the issues of life and there never will be. But society still treats things like binary issues where one solution to one extreme or another will solve everything...if only we can convince the other half of population to think differently (even though they never will). A good portion of the time, each side is so entrenched in their beliefs that they don't decide what is best for the solution, they just feel it necessary to oppose whatever the other side suggests on principal.
if no laws are written as a result of all this work - is that Obama's fault?
Yes. Obviously he should have been more cooperative in working with Congress. Instead he enacts his own agenda, bypassing all the good work Congress has tried to accomplish./s
OP said x5690 with 24GB of ram for $200. Your example is a processor ~25% slower for $100 more. They're as low as $170 on eBay, but not with that much memory nor drive trays. So not exactly the same or really all that close for the price point stated.
I would run a XEON X5690 (6 core 3.46ghz) with 24GB of RAM and an SSD. You can find entire machines with Quadro video, audio, and a shitload of other components for about $200.00
I'd love to know where you found an entire machine with those specs (or even without the SSD) for $200.
The tag line for/. has always been "News for nerds, stuff that matters".
It's not specifically news just for nerds as anyone benefits by having informed knowledge of world events. I would say it would fall under stuff that matters. If it's not news for you, or something that matters to you, just skip over the article and read the next one.
While you do make good points under general circumstances, can you identify ANY law in ANY country in the world where Yahoo wouldn't be within it's right to do what it did?
Communication with an implant isn't uncommon. Diagnostics, monitoring, tweaking for optimal operation, etc. It's a lot easier to do checkups and make adjustments on a person when you don't need to open up the chest cavity.
3D UI's don't work (well) because they are horribly inefficient.
When it came time for an (almost) complete novice to navigate a complex theme park security system to lock it down before a velocaraptor ate her for dinner, what type of UI did they use? A friggin 3D UI on a Unix system. If it's good enough in that case, it's good enough anywhere.
It would depend on if we're hearing the caller's end, or the help desk's end. The caller's end probably wouldn't make it to the ^%E$^ part if it had detonated.
The African Slave Trade between the 1500s and 1800s brought millions of workers from Africa to the southern United States to work on agricultural plantations.
While that alone may technically be accurate, it's a great mischaracterization of the situation. It's even more egregious because the section of the book it's in is under "Patterns of Immigration". It's not really immigration when it's a forced migration to a place you're not even recognized as a full human let alone any chance, at that time, of being a citizen.
I'd rather see 1M Syrians forced to stare down ISIS than see the status quo continue and help ensure a steady supply of potential excuses for abridging our rights.
Unfortunately, for the Syrians as well as us, one very plausible outcome is that the Syrians refugees are left to fend for themselves AND our rights continue to be trampled. It's not sliding scale where one gives way to the other. Anything that gives TPTB more power, more control, and more money is their goal.
And a senior programmer is just a guy pressing keys. And a master electrician is just twisting wires together. And a CEO is just playing golf. Until the shit hits the fan and they are ultimately responsible for the job that they, and anyone under them, are performing.
A friend shared a page from AnswersInGenesis.com about how carbon dating isn't necessarily accurate. I stopped reading when I got to this passage:
When a scientist's interpretation of data does not match the clear meaning of the text in the Bible, we should never reinterpret the Bible. God knows just what He meant to say, and His understanding of science is infallible, whereas ours is fallible.
So yes, you are absolutely right. People do get their science from The Bible. Because it's the absolute word of God. As heard by man. And told to other men. And eventually written down by man as best as they could remember. And translated by man. And reinterpreted by man to fit their various beliefs even if they are self contradictory. But exactly verbatim what God said.
Microcomplaints may make a mountain out of a mole hill, but it may also give management (or at least someone higher up the food chain) and opportunity to earn back business.
Several years ago I ordered a mattress online at Sam's club. I waited for it to be delivered. And waited. And waited. After missing several dates it turns out that their vendor screwed up the order and it never even went into manufacturing despite being told that it had really been shipped. None of the CSRs at Sam's club or the vendor really cared about me or gave me any options other than keep waiting. Walmart Corporate got a hold of me after I posted several microcomplaints online and satisfied my situation much in my benefit within a few hours. Instead of losing my business forever (especially since a Costco just recently opened, they earned it back).
Substantial resources? Seriously? That's a basic shell script to run a bunch of DNS resolutions and then add the addresses into an existing Firewall drop policy. That's sys/net management 100 level stuff.
Yeah that'll get em. So now Dad will just have to ask his middle school aged kid how to circumvent the block. With alternative hostnames, IPs, VPNs, proxies, etc..., not to just mention new sites, it's not like people are going to be slowed down much. At best, it will just prevent the casual curious user from looking into the sites much.
I thought the entire point of full disk encryption was to keep your data safe even if the computer is stolen. If FDE is not effective against that, then why bother? It's not like FDE protects you from online attacks so if it can't protect you from physical theft, what can it protect you from?
It's not like a deadbolt prevents your house from being broken into, or a locked door on your car, but it's a lot better than nothing.
Drive encryption likely stops the casual thief, but it's not perfect. And like the XKCD comic, if they REALLY want the contents of your drive, they're going to use a $5 wrench as the master key.

It's not even a 3 paragraph summary, It's a 3 paragraph copy-paste of the opening of the article.

It's a horrible headline.
Did the data breach speak out and cause the IT worker to be fired?
Was the IT worker fired because he spoke out about the data breach?
Was the IT worker already fired because of the data breach now speaking out?
The proper headline would read "IT Worker Speaks Out After Being Fired for Massive Georgia Data Breach"
