No, *I* never thought that. I was aware that there was a belief by some people that thought that. What took 2 seconds to process was the mental image of our kid dying of an illness that you only hear about in Victorian literature. Knowing I was looking into the eyes of someone that seen it happen. What I am suggesting is that this appeal to emotion may be a good method of dealing with irrational soon-to-be parents.
Yes, when it came to our kids, we asked the Dr. lots of questions. Including "stupid" questions we think we know the answer to. Our 1st child was born with a congenital health issue that is much more rare than autism. Pretty much everything was on the table. Thanks to some biomedical technology, she is thriving.

Ok, so *you think* your kid might become autistic, if vaccinated.... Better to have a live autistic child than one that is dead from whooping cough.
When it came time to discuss this with our DR, she said to us, "You don't want to see what it's like to watch a child die from whooping cough." It took about 2 seconds for my wife and I to process that, and decide what the larger risk is.
No, it isn't. If you'd RTFA, you'd learn that the DNS check only happens as a confirmation safety step, once an active cheat has already been detected by Steam.
Isn't this ripe for a DoS to legitimate users by simply posting a link to an image, in a popular gaming forum, that resides in one of the "cheat server" domains?
No it's not. A law who's fundamental structural base forces everyone to purchase a product, is not a market solution. It's the opposite of that.
A market based solution would remove insurance companies as middle men for purchasing health care. Insurance is supposed to take on the risk that you can't absorb. A Dr's visit for the cold or flu should not be absorbed by insurance, a hospital stay should be. That's the problem these days. The person that is purchasing Health Care is completely disconnected from the costs paid by the insurance provider, and we are taking it further in the wrong direction.
Stop giving patent like protections to creative works. Either the work should be covered by patents, or it should be covered by copyrights, but not both. Currently we have both with the DMCA's "access controls mechanism" criteria.
As I said, I am highly ignorant on the capabilities of the above listed equipment; I would just like to know if one can kill several people at once with these devices, without reloading.
Depends on if the targets start shooting back:) Usually once faced with any opposition, these mass killers take themselves out. I don't recall many cases where a rampage continued in the face of opposition, with the exception of the robbery in LA where the guys were wearing body armor.
You can go to Walmart and purchase firearms and ammunition just about anytime, by anyone that can pass an instant background check here in Tennessee. Just as easy as buying any other tool that can be used to kill people.
To be quite honest, it's going to be a tough road ahead for you. Companies usually are not very accommodating of the types of requirements you have laid out. I would suggest looking for work with your municipal or state government. They are more open to special needs employees. That's going to be you best bet.
Something that did strike me as interesting is the requirement for a workweek of maybe 20-25 hours. Is this due to your mental disability or do you have other obligations in your life that would limit your ability to work? I would try to rectify that issue if possible, because even government jobs require that you work 37.5 hours a week. (Around here at least)
I would trust Forrest Mims's engineering. Though I don't know his exact creationist beliefs, I most certainly would trust his science and engineering, regardless of his beliefs.
I had an "on-call" week from hell before Christmas last year. Didn't get more than 3 hours of contiguous sleep that week. I caught strep throat and was sick my entire Christmas vacation (both days). No, I didn't RTFA, but I think their study must have not taken into account sleep interrupted by external stimuli. I need at least 8 hours in my bed. Asleep or otherwise:D
How did you know your son was allergic to eggs when he wasn't able to eat eggs? My wife is allergic to eggs and cannot have flu shots, yet our infant daughter has had all of her scheduled vaccine shots to date.
Our pediatrician said that it would be very unusual for an egg allergy to present itself in an infant.
Also, I don't think I could bear the thought of my baby girl dieing of whooping cough because I was scared she might have an allergic reaction to the vaccination.

In the Unverified Digital World, Are Journalists and Bloggers Equal?
Under the law, they should be. They are citizens. There should be no special rights extended to anyone based on their profession.

This is /.
Of course I didn't RTFA ;)

Just sayin........
I think this isn't about race more nationality.
It's a good thing for Oracle that the Civil Rights Act 1964 allows you to discriminate based on National Origin. Oh, wait! Doh!
Obamacare is a market solution to Health care.

is this a non-problem?

There is no defense, like a good offense.
Tax avoidance? Do you even understand how taxes work?
They just write it off! :)

That's they way I recall it being presented in Steven Levy's hackers. (But it's been like 20 years since I read that book)

It is about "all that shit". No bucks, no Buck Rogers.
I see your "Reed-Solomon" and "Turbo Codes" and raise you with "Front-end Overload". :)
You can't fix stupid. Why are they attempting to do so?
You do understand the reason why we have a /usr/bin and /usr/sbin , right?
Because most of the anti-pollution systems are designed to change harmful pollutants into harmless, non-toxic carbon dioxide emissions.
