In a nod to tradition, there is a link to his blog in the summary. I was a bit disappointed there wasn't anything about his passing noted on the blog. It seems appropriate somehow.
Our old Linksys at work (small office) was on a UPS, but died pretty frequently. 28 hours and counting with the new Linksys, a nice, if statistically insignificant, improvement.
Given the expense of doing an entire genome, alternative is a 25% accuracy rate. What 99.3% does is let you do a bulk scan looking for interesting areas. Prospecting. Now you can adjust therapies the match likely genome sequences. "Ah Ms. X, I see you likely have gene XYZ. Medication A, B, and C won't work for you so let's try D."
In other words, you don't need perfect results to now bias the odds in you favor.
Pretty close. Even if you can't physically stop someone, at least saying their behavior is out of line is a start. The alternative is to remain silent, which leaves only the stupids of the world out there marketing their ideas. Even in the battle of ideas, showing up is half the battle.
I was going to make some joke about at least oxygen not being taxed. But then I realized the last time I bought oxygen, it was taxed. Air too! At least the don't tax water, uh, food, uh dying, oh forget it!
Ironically, Rolls Royce plc doesn't make cars. The history of the Rolls Royce name is amusing. Simplified: Rolls split into two companies in the 70's. RR Motors made cars, RR plc made and makes engines. More recently, Volkswagen bought RR Motors. But, and this is the best part, RR plc owned the name and sold it to BMW. Volkswagen was pissed to learn they owned the company, but couldn't sell them as Rolls Royce. A deal was worked out, but to this day a decedent of Rolls isn't sold as a Rolls. Buy a Rolls now, and it's really a BMW under the hood.
So when little kids are telling potty jokes, they are actually exercising the highest functions of their brains? Worse: when my kid says he's going to pee on me, do I scold him or encourage him?
True. But an article that starts off saying "nearly two decades ago" is probably a bit stale. I know I've heard this story several times in the last decade, including at least 1 TV show dedicated to the subject. Maybe others have too.
Oh, I agree. My wife is a teacher and has to confiscate all sorts of stuff that are forbidden at school. Or forbidden to be used, such as cell phones. All routine, no big deal. And she's smart enough not to poke the bear by sending aggressive emails to parents even when the kids have done something serious. Diplomacy isn't just for diplomats.
If it has value, like she claims, then there are penalties for stealing. By her standards, she should be in trouble.
But it's free. Can you press charges (or have them taken seriously) if someone takes your free stuff you were giving out? By the student's standards, she can't get in trouble.

We have to finish testing 2010RC1 first. Should take about 50 weeks.
Sounds like the perfect opportunity to add a new vent and fan.

Is that some sort of laundry joke?!?

Too bad there's not two bot nets battling where you can watch the statistics. Sort of like live CNN war footage for the command line crowd.

Where did you learn that word? It's Lifebouy for you, young man!

You must not be in marketing. That's "A 75% performance improvement over time."

Has the original bootleg fortune grown big enough?

Rolls Royce plc maybe?

I don't get it.
How about a 3200 year old mummy brain?

Hold on there! Might not be Pepsi. They haven't ruled out the presence of scotch yet.
H G Well's Time Machine is another extreme. So, which would you want your decedents to be: smart cannibals or dumb food?
Now I won't have to go stumbling around in the dark looking for fresh batteries next time there's a power failure!
