You do realize that that between the NSA, FSB, various other TLAs and countless Russian and Chinese hackers, that the Windows source code has been the subject of more careful and complete reviews than any other operating system. Ever.
Likely not. Just wear a baseball cap with a bunch of IR emitting diodes on the brim. That will likely swamp any visual input and will look 'normal' to the unaided human eye.
Come on guys, techno up here. This is a challange. Rise to it.
You do realize that you can store Amazon (or whatever) e-books in an open format with all the advantages of digital goodness?
I just use Calibre and store the resultant file on my backup system. I'm betting that I'll be able to read a standard USB flash drive longer than some moldy paper.
Herd immunity still doesn't trump individual control of their body (at least IMHO). First, herd immunity is imperfect, secondly unvaccinated persons are rare thus making the argument even less cogent.
It's always about competing rights - your individual right to self determination and society's right to be as safe as possible. It's pretty clear that people driving randomly down a road in both directions causes great harm and offers little individual benefits, but the same cannot be said for vaccinations.
Personally, I feel that if you don't get vaccinated against pretty much anything you can get vaccinated against, you're an idiot. But I support your right to be an idiot as long as it doesn't interfere with me.
Well statistically you would expect the deaths to go way down, as modern hospitals have far higher rates of child and mother mortality than non hospital deliveries.
Apples and oranges.
With a few unfortunate exceptions, home births are low risk births which are really pretty safe with routine medical care (that can be delivered at home). So you don't expect any deaths / bad outcomes (but they happen).
Hospital births include low risk and high risk deliveries. Some of the latter don't do well even with the best medical care. So, no you cannot statistically compare the two unless you are very careful to tell us just what exactly you are comparing.
No, we elected a black (well, sort of) president because the republicans couldn't mount a response better than either an old white guy with his batshit insane girlfriend or another old white guy who can't think his way out of a paper bag.
If the republicans keep coming up with total losers, then the democrats, with only partial losers are going to win.
Remember, the votes necessary to win are the swing voters, the ones that really don't like anybody.
Nope. Not treason. That has a very specific definition in the constitution. It's perjury. That is a serious enough offense and appropriate for that specific level of malfeasance.
It would be 'better use of our resources' if we didn't do anything. Just stand back and make money for the corporations. That's all we really are supposed to do, right?
Besides, dead young people are better sources of organs for all of those really important people who help corporations make money.
It's also the perfect segue into Total Informational Awareness. It's basically data mining. You find a couple of soft indicators - the patient starts complaining of shortness of breath perhaps, has hypertension, is overweight. Then he moves. Starts over again. Doc asks the same question, patient puts down different dates (because they don't remember the doc visit five years ago), rinse lather repeat. If you could track this sort of stuff over time the 'computer' could start making some pretty easy correlations.
IF you had the data. And only IF you had the data. Which means linked EHRs. Which is an interesting concept and would likely help, except, given the current state of our Panopticon Plus government, you have to wonder exactly who they are trying to help.
Comrade.
Oh, AND IT'S HEART FAILURE NOT HEART ATTACK. THEY'RE DIFFERENT. If you're the editor at least glance at TFA./pedant/normal blood pressure mode
.. then why don't the big broadcaster get together and buy Aereo before it can - supposedly! - "do more damage"
Three reasons:
1) If you win in court, it prevents other people from trying to pull the same stunt 2) It may well be cheaper to pay lawyers to litigate against Aereo instead of attempting to buy it. 3) It just might not be for sale.
My worry is that these people don't really know what they're doing, and that they're going to ignite a fusion reaction that will be self-feeding and turn our planet into a sun. This is one area of research where a mistake can really ruin the environment.
Don't worry. All you need to do is unwrap the entire roll of aluminum foil and cover your whole body. You'll be safe then.
"Skynet was originally activated by the military to control the national arsenal on August 4, 1997, at which time it began to learn at a geometric rate. On August 29, it gained self-awareness, and the panicking operators, realizing the extent of its abilities, tried to deactivate it. Skynet perceived this as an attack and came to the conclusion that all of humanity would attempt to destroy it. To defend itself, Skynet launched nuclear missiles under its command at Russia, which responded with a nuclear counter-attack against the U.S. and its allies. Consequent to the nuclear exchange, over three billion people were killed in an event that came to be known as Judgment Day."
These things never get launched on time. Good thing the Army is persistent....
if TL;DR then try to work through this whole paragraph:
Let me stress, however, that all of our resident inspectors will remain on the job and any immediate safety or security matters will be handled with dispatch. We can — and will without hesitation — bring employees out of furlough to respond to an emergency. We must, in this regard, err on the side of safety and security.
You here that Taliban weirdos? We're still on to you guys. Don't mess with the big stuff.

Best posting on the thread. Tx
Maybe, perhaps, it's easier to treat a discrete problem (fast / slow/ intermittent ) heart rate than to solve the rather difficult problem of aging.
Think about it. They're not really after you.
Or aliens like Vodka.
Trail of slime?
Please leave US politicians out of this thread.

Man, you're one sick dude. Get some help.
You'll need a hoodie and a mask, though.
Likely not. Just wear a baseball cap with a bunch of IR emitting diodes on the brim. That will likely swamp any visual input and will look 'normal' to the unaided human eye.

I think you're over playing the difference.

I wouldn't make much of it.

From quite a lot of things, actually.

It's so good to see fresh ideas trotted out by the new kids.
Now, kid, get off our lawn.
