You're an idiot, aren't you? So if young people can get by on $10-a-month 'catastrophic' plans (that don't actually cover anything) then what would a 50-year-olds pay?
The basis of ANY insurance is risk pooling. If you want to have _affordable_ insurance for everyone then you MUST have less-risky-people paying for more-risky-people. There's no way around it.
"Fuck it. We'll just cover everybody at our own cost." This wasn't good enough, of course, because the goal wasn't universal coverage, but universal government coverage.
It had a picture of the then-President in shackles on it — showing today's President that way would've been a national scandal.
A pity Bush wasn't prosecuted for his role in torture of prisoners. And seriously, I've seen pictures of Obama photoshopped as a monkey, Obama holding a banana, Obama in a prison cell and so on. No scandals so far.
Upper stage? What fucking upper stage? BUK missiles (like most of the modern surface-to-air missiles) are single stage solid propellant rockets. BUK rockets in particular produce VERY visible white plumes from aluminum in the fuel (which turns into aluminum oxide).
You actually do. Missiles have more than enough intelligence and thrust to correctly position themselves, because they simply have to. In a real combat situation getting a clear tail shot is highly improbable event. Also, contrary to the popular opinion, missiles do not actually "chase" the target - they try to "cut" its course.
Except that Oracle doesn't really do multi-master. They have share-everything RAC, effectively moving the replication requirements onto the block layer. At this point you're better off simply running PostgreSQL on a fast SSD-based storage with synchronous replication for reliability and read-only queries.
Yes, it's one of the predictions. But since we don't see this, models are calibrated in such way as to make up for that. It's possible, barely. It's one of the reasons why this theory is unlikely - it requires too much fine-tuning to explain the observable reality.
Once the surface tension barrier is breached, the clump explodes in a huge nuclear explosion. Strange matter particles then simply decay and become regular hadrons and form regular nuclei. However, it's also possible that some clumps sank to the core if the collision conditions were just right and surface tension barrier is strong enough.
Yes, it is. We're talking about something that is close in density to neutron-star matter but can exist freely without gravitational confinement of a neutron star. This theory is indeed not new - I've studied it at university as one possible theory for the dark matter. It turns out that if stable clumps of strange matter can exist then it's possible that they form (at least) the bulk of the dark matter. But only barely.
So they would look like baseball or basketball-sized spheres of matter that is even denser than neutronium. It won't be 'dark' - strange particles can interact with photons just fine. These clamps will move at 'galactic' speeds (~100 km/sec) but not at relativistic speeds. They'd be able to punch through the galactic dust clouds like a bullet through a sheet of paper and given the general density of the matter in a galaxies (i.e. 'almost perfect vacuum') the strange clumps are expected to be captured by stars in significant quantities only on the scale of tens of billions of years.
Another interesting feature is their "surface tension" barrier. The strange clumps can NOT accrete normal matter, regular nuclei would simply bounce off the border between the vacuum and the strange matter. This barrier can be pierced by sufficiently energetic individual particles or by slamming into dense matter (i.e. a planet).
The probability of such clump hitting the Earth is about once in every 1000 years. It'll punch through the atmosphere and explode somewhere deep in the crust or in the mantle. From the outside it'd look like a large earthquake.
I thought that given the recent court decisions it's perfectly OK for companies to foist their political and religious believes on customers and employees. It's also totally OK from a libertarian point of view - after all, a company can do whatever it wants. You don't like it? Go to their competitor.
Right now it's legal for every homeowner in Iraq to own automatic weapons. Not just handguns, but freaking AK-74s. So how has that helped them against ISIS?
1) Systemd has a much slower shutdown, which means a reboot takes much longer.
2) Debian can be rebooted in 30 seconds. So even if boot was speeded up, it is a negligible advantage, and hardly justifies such a radical change.
Incorrect. Debian shutdown/reboot can take any amount of time, up to +inf. For example, this beautiful initscript: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit... can hang indefinitely (see line 92) and stop the reboot process forever. It's not theoretical either, I happened to go at 4am to our datacenter to power-cycle a server because of this bug.
Meanwhile, systemd can actually reliably kill services using cgroups to track all of the services' processes.
Yes, higher protein content would have been better. The wheat genome was damaged far back in the history, long before sweat breads were invented. Had it been a recent development ("Look! New GM flour for easier baking!") you'd be decrying it as Satan's intervention designed to starve poor people.
Correction: we know markers for several cancer types ( http://www.cancer.gov/cancerto... ). But it doesn't look like there are universal markers applicable for each cancer type.
Sure, the total _amount_ of glyphosate used has gone up because people use more GM corn. However, the amount of pesticides used per square mile has gone _down_. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...
So it's apparent that you are a paid shill of so called 'organic' food and your main task is to spew unverifiable FUD, about some 'farmers' suddenly growing horns and hooves after using glyphosate or some other similar nonsense. Of course, with zero links to reputable studies.
I don't like the part that overwrites resolv.conf to use 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver if it thinks the network is down
So turn it off. Duh.
Yes, yes, "it's just an interface to journald!" So it's more like syslogd embedding a web server and QR encoder than init itself. Much better.
Incorrect. That web server lives in a separate gateway daemon, that is started as a regular service (and it's totally optional). It has NOTHING to do with PID1.
Actually, no. Farmers used more glyphosate prior to GM food. That's because GM corn (or rape) can outcompete weeds if give some headstart (a small amount of glyphosate to suppress the early growth of weeds). Resistant weeds are also a non-issue, there always were resistant strains.
Please, stop spreading FUD with unsubstantiated allegations from some 'farmers'.

No such thing happened.

You mean, like NATO's photoshopped pictures of "Russian military" crossing the border?
No, during the previous days airplanes were most likely shot by MANPADs.

We're using Google Docs. What about you?
Yeah, sure. Like the banking systems of entire countries. Except that sometimes Oracle does crash...
Most of the households in Iraq have weapons (usually guns, though). Has that helped them against ISIS?

Don't worry, I'm Russian and I don't get it either.

No, you haven't. And you haven't even tried or researched systemd in details, or you wouldn't be saying so many inane things.
It was not 'patched to run without systemd'. Systemd shim was provided that is capable of good user session management.
