Leave it to a U.S. institution to be concerned with profiting from a possible cure for HIV.
Sure, I'll leave it to them to do that, if you'll at least leave it to a US institution to invest in a ton of experimentation, research, development, refinement of the techniques, overcoming regulatory hurdles, patient trials...
Have to pay a lot of money? Maybe. Have you seen the kind of garbage that comes up when you're dealing with licensing stuff?
And these are foreign affiliates, to boot, so there's an extra layer of dreck to work through.
I can't see any reason that they would care about images of their places.
And if they really DID care, for some freakish reason, they're doing a poor job of keeping their secrets secret.
I just don't see the conspiracy.
The UNIX equivalent of Ctrl+Z? I believe that would be Control-D. I actually prefer the MS-DOS version because 'Z' is the 26th letter and EOF is ASCII character number 26, so it makes sense, but I can deal with it one way or another.;)
Not quite the same, but in a similar vein, cat/dev/urandom >/dev/dsp
Sometimes a quick white-noise machine is relaxing. Heck, I used that command in combination with 'at' to act as a makeshift alarm clock when I was just moving into my first apartment and had forgotten my only other electronic device with an alarm (my cell phone) at the office.
TFA could theoretically maybe perhaps be full of lies, but it specifically refers to Sprint's wireless services (which are no doubt serviced by the rest of their Internet service).
Besides, I'm trying it right now and can't get to cogentco.com (though I can do just fine on my home broadband connection).
I'd been considering cancelling my laptop's EVDO service with Sprint for a while now (it's a little pricey and I don't really need it). This will be a great excuse to tell them when I call them up.:)
Part of the huge problem is that people think they want "health insurance" when what they actually want is a healthcare plan (and one that other people pay for when the things get rough). I mean, you don't see people crashing their car and then saying "oh, I should get some car insurance for that, and they'll pay for it" or having their house burn to the ground and thinking "oh, I should get some fire insurance, and that will pay for it". It doesn't work that way. But people try to twist it until it does.
In the ideal world, everyone would get tested for everything plausible (so you could take care of it as soon as possible) and they'd have (dirt cheap) insurance for everything they couldn't predict, and the rest of their healthcare costs would either come out of their pocketbooks or their employers' pocketbooks or whatever they were able to lobby the government for out of everyone else's pocketbooks. Instead, we try to turn the industry into another way to redistribute wealth, but it's totally messed up, and not only is there incentive to avoid predicting problems, you're also essentially subsidizing the health care costs of one group by increasing the health insurance costs of another, and that's a very, very regressive "tax" structure.
You need to calm down, sir. You're not helping your cause, you're not actually harming any of those terrible conservative people you hate, and you're not doing yourself any good getting all riled up about nothing.
As for the "whole generation", you are welcome to dream on. Like the members of the Republican party over the past eight years, you shall all too soon know the taste of broken promises, the grunge of corruption, and assorted other bitter stings of reality - and you will rue the day when your party was freed from accountability. Oh, you believe that your party is Different, that they will be Better than all that. I pray, for your sake and the sake of everyone, that they are! But you and I shall both have the chance to see this in action. Take care that you do not bury your head in the sand and pretend that all is well when it is not (as the Republicans did these past eight years). Let their mistakes be a warning to you.
also, you don't really need to call me 'fucker'. It's not more than mildly annoying, and it makes you come off looking like an idiot.
That's an interesting speculation. I dunno. But hopefully having a bit of time out of power (and being faced with an increasingly socialist Democratic party) the Republicans will figure out where their principles went last election, and we can actually have a healthy political climate in this country. Like, you can talk to someone of the other party without them getting particularly... shrill.
Leaving aside interpretations of your comment as a terroristic threat*, that's probably true, but you, like, completely missed my point. Basically, I think your party is going to pot, just like the Republicans did when George W Bush got elected and they had majorities in Congress. Only you're liable to have a super-majority, so you'll have even fewer reasons to exercise restraint and self-control. That's not a healthy situation for any political party.
Also not healthy: telling political opponents "listen, fucker, we're going to kill you". What's the deal? Did my petty little Slashdot comment, of all things, upset you? It shouldn't have provoked such a response. That it did, I contend, is a sign that all is not well. But, whatever. If you don't actually care about the integrity of your own party, you're fulfilling a variety of negative conservative stereotypes about your party's constituents.
(*this is a legal term describing threats such as the one you made, and not actually related to terrorism at all. so don't worry about that angle.:P)
My condolences for the integrity of your party, which has reached such a low point point that any attack on its would-be President is dismissed as motivated-by-racism.
P.S. Crying victory in advance of the election like you and your party's campaign have been doing -- may be accurate, but is rather rude and disrespectful to the American electorate and electoral process.

All that and you couldn't link to bash.org?!

If by "stupidly secretive" you mean "thrifty and not buying all the latest aerial imagery all the time"...

On that note,
is a good one to know.

screen is awesome.
sometimes I'd rather see them charged with something more serious, like libel/slander. Or a rampaging bull. Or... ;)

Have you ever noticed how everyone driving slower than you is an idiot? And everyone driving faster than you is a maniac?

How much do I care that Asuk the Assyrian was assessed two goats in taxes? Not a hell of a lot.
Clearly you are unaware of the historical importance of items in history such as the Domesday Book.

While you're livin' it up at your stately manor, I'm coding PHP out of my garage, you insensitive clod!

Oh, they've been at it for a while now ;)
It's a name for the server farm. Which is functionally rather similar, except for where it isn't.
Sounds like Morgoth in the Silmarillon, but less spherical....
