Yes, that's just what I want, my confirmed schizophrenic coworker - no matter how much I like them or respect their work - going off their meds and having (in the words of the person who submitted the story) "a surge of uncontrollable thoughts"... not to mention the emotional well being of all the other employees, who knows about this Top Brogrammer's physical ability to hurt people when flipping out? Possible access to dangerous weapons? Workplace suicide?
Yeah sure! Why not advise this individual with a medical issue to stop taking his/her psych meds. Are you a fucking doctor? Or do you just play one in the armchair in your living room?
Your "suggestion" is not in the best interest of the the person with the schizophrenic condition, nor his/her coworkers.
They couldn't build an Earth tunneling machine that cant deal with a giant boulder ?
The cutter heads break apart stationary rock and other objects. The theory in the local press here in Seattle is that the bolder is being spun with the cutter head, thus the cutter teeth canâ(TM)t grip it, and itâ(TM)s too big to fall through the openings in the cutter head that channel debris to the exit conveyor.
On the surface one might thing âoeThatâ(TM)s a great idea, it would make stolen phone useless!â
But beyond the idea that eventually hackers would find a path around such measures, it also opens the door to abuse by âoeLaw Enforcementâ, who are notoriously unable to police themselves from both breaking the law and abusing the privileges they have been given.
no CFLs made in the past five years come anywhere close to meeting their life expectancy â" most of them burn out faster than incandescent bulbs.
And I'm sure you have something more than anecdotal data to back that assertion up right?
If it's my personal experience, it's all I need for me.
I am the one who pays for my light bulbs. When the CFLs that I buy with my money for my use burn out as fast or faster than conventional bulbs, that effects my opinion and my pocketbook in a real, factual way.
I ask since that's what we use in work. It's one of the things that makes my system really slow(since it scans my hard drive constantly.)
Maybe you need to tweak the settings and have it do full scans at specific times, like after work...
yet I've seen at least 2 people here that have gotten viruses anyway over the few years I've been here.
In a couple of years only two people got viruses? Not bad.
You could of course spend a lot of money on crap-wear like Symantec with no discernible security gain, or you could educate your fellow employees not to surf porn and warez sites at work and not open unknown attachments...
Bush being a crony corporatist doesn't mean Obama isn't also a crony corporatist. In fact, if they have an (R) or a (D) in front of their name, they are probably a crony corporatist.
I'm willing to bet Julian Assange feels pretty damned justified right now.
That's nice, but what has Wikileaks released recently? We were told the Manning Papers where far and wide, yet apparently either they are not, or Assange is holding back for some reason? What could that reason be?
There is a suspicion that not all the documents have been leaked to newspapers, and a senior NSA official (Rick Ledgett), who is heading the security agency's task force examining Mr. Snowden's leak, has said on the record that he would consider recommending amnesty for Mr. Snowden in exchange for those unleaked documents.
What Snowden has leaked is stuff that many people suspected but could not prove. A lot of it are things we know that the technology existed for, and an unscrupulous Spy Agency (like the NSA) might be likely to attempt.
But what this new disclosure says to me is that there might be things that go WAY beyond what we have learned or more accurately, confirmed, so far. Things that really do stretch way into the clearly unacceptable in ways that the disclosures thus far pale in comparison.
Why else go public and suggest "amnesty"? Which, I don't think Snowdon would consider at this point, he would certainly risk ending up in a "accident" in a few years, something he is quite at risk from now.
If as "they" say they think he has't given up everything he had to the News Media, we will never see it because it's in Russian hands. Snowden isn't that stupid.
And by the way, I'll bet Julian Assage is feeling pretty jealous right now, what with the spot-light off of Him... Assage is a lime light whore, an ego the size of a blimp, he's got to be pacing back and forth in that small room of his, plotting a "come-back".
That should not be for NASA to decide. Instead of having a "selection process", they should simply hold an auction. The launch pad should be rented to the highest bidder.
Bullshit.
The launch pad should be rented to the company that has the most potential to actually use it for something useful like launching rockets.
It's not a hotel room or a luxury car, it's a piece of valuable high technology. It's not a toy for rent.
When companies (Microsoft?) get into the business of doing business by hiring lawyers to hobble their competition, we all lose.
Nice platitude, but does not apply here.
Blue Origin is not yet in the business of launching rockets, they don't need the NASA pad. The snit is nothing more than Jeff Bezos stomping his feet like a little boy because he can't buy the deal with his huge pile of cash. Bezos has become used to being able to simply toss cash at something and - by magic! - it is his. That didn't work in this case.
Pipe dream or not, competition spurs innovation in an attempt to either improve quality or reduce price.
Competition is good, but Blue Origin does not (at this time) represent competition to SpaceX. Certainly, they have no real use for a rocket launching pad of the scale of NASA's 39A.
Blue Origin is mostly just Jeff Bezos playing with his big pile of money.

...blocks "sex education" web sites...
Yeah, that's how I feel about xHamster, too.
kill yourself
Why? I'm having way too much fun watching you masturbate in your mom's basement on "Chat Roulette". Where did you get those "granny panties"?
I'd avoid medication if you can.
How's Tom Cruise these days? Have you seen the latest Kirstie Alley extravaganza?

The frame isn't legos, it's just a normal metal frame with a lego body, whooptey doo.
And the power plant and train are "whooptey doo" as well? No wonder you posted under AC.

Looks like a project from MAKE Magazine.
Very cool, and I assume that in a few months I'll be able to buy this from a kiosk at the Mall.
Yes it is, IF the bulb lasts for 20 years as advertized
Exactly.

Cree has finally got their bulbs out and they're dirt cheap - $12 apiece for 60watt equivalent bulbs at the big box store.
12$ for a light bulb is not "cheap".

How's the tea? A bit bitter?
Most of what Wikileaks has released is about Scientology. Yup SCIENTOLOGY. Really? Papers about some Nut House?
Wil=kileaks == FAIL
That's because it was all accomplished by Seal Team Seven, the deep deep super secret dudes.

...(he used some higher ups credentials)
It has never been disclosed that he used "higher-ups" logins, only that he (supposedly) user "other people's" logins.

Yeah yeah, got confused with the Boston licence plate scanning thing...
I suspect what the GP meant was that SpaceX has the funds to rent it, and Blue Origin would likely not...
Blue Origin is owned 100% by Jeff Bezos of Amazon fame. He has the funds to *buy* it.
That should not be for NASA to decide. Instead of having a "selection process", they should simply hold an auction. The launch pad should be rented to the highest bidder.
