Wow that picture looks a lot more like a meteorite than I expected. I am not sure about the crater ejecta theory but it might well be a rock which hit the ground at terminal velocity and bounced off the rover. Objects like the rover would tend to accumulate little objects like stones around them becuse they get in the way of bouncing objects. This happens a lot on the moon where big rocks have little scree sloped of debris around them.
Your VPN is one network interface going this way but you still have other interfaces on different IP addresses going that way and applications are free to choose which they use.
I worked with traffic engineers on traffic studies in the 1990s. The objective was to measure traffic behaviour and feed the resulting data into models. You don't change traffic flow for a study because that would invalidate the model.
I think Canada must be suffering from proximity to the US. Here in Australia I have never seen a wait of more than a week for an MRI and a head injury case would go in within a few hours.
Market based systems don't work where there is a high barrier to entry. If absolutely any US person could become a health care provider (as they could become a food grower) then the current market based system would be much cheaper. As it is, the government regulates entry into the health services market, and the businesses in the market use that fact to take huge profits.
Aussie here. Its weird how expensive things can be in the US. I know US people here in Melbourne who flew back to Aus for treatment because they didn't have medical insurance while on a visit to the US. Its also funny how the best serious treatment is in the public system here. The private system will get your nose job faster but on the spot life saving surgury will be in a public hospital.
But making wholesale changes because of incomplete data about climate?
Our own industry makes wholesale changes to our environment in the absence of complete climate data. We have to research the consequences after the event.
We know that not burning coal (for example) has worked for the planet for a long time. Obviously stuff has always been on fire, but the sort of energy use we are engaging in is unprecedented.
We can have industry, but we should not be loading down our atmosphere to do it. We should not use it as a source of industrial inputs (oxygen) or a dumping ground for our waste products.
The fact that it was mostly okay for each of us to light a fire 100 years ago does not make it okay when our population is six billion and our individual energy consumption is hundreds of times higher.
Our lives depend on our climate continuing to support us. We should act if any of our actions have the possibility of damaging our climate, not wait for evidence that the climate is being damaged.
Since 2010, under Farrakhan, members have been strongly encouraged to study Dianetics, and the Nation currently claims it has trained 1055 Auditors.[10]
Okay, I was wrong...the photo was black and white. It would have been nice if they shot it with a color camera (unless, of course, that's coming later).
Color photography from spacecraft is a sub-disipline of spectroscopy. They take monochrome images with different filters, then produce color pictures from the composites.
Code reviews are quite valuable in large scale environments where there are many experienced eyes to review new code. Put together most of those people will have seen a lot of mistakes made, so they can help avoid the same mistakes in the future. But in small, agile environments, its not as much use.
High CMMI maturity levels are really only achievable if you are in the business of mass producing something. They emphasise continuous refinement of production processes, as opposed to research and the development of totally new products. You can write procedures for R&D but they don't allow you to include steps like and then a miracle happens.

If you have an MVC architecture with 10000 models, controllers and views; all of your domain data is stored as Object in maps, keyed with strings. If the keys for your middleware and your maps are built up on the fly and type casts are used at the point where your domain data is actually used, then you are probably going to have problems.
Oh and here's another good one: you have a module blah with an internal namespace com.company.blah but now you want a newblah so you copy blah and change two classes but leave the namespace the same then you get a bright idea: lets delete all the unchanged stuff from newblah and stick it into the classpath ahead of blah. The new module now inherits from the old one, right? Thats a brilliant idea, worthy of a genius. Oh yeah the classpath we customised isn't actually used to run the software, only to develop and test it.
A sandbox would be a good idea. If I install software to interface to a printer, or read a spreadsheet I should reasonably expect that the software should only be permitted to what it claims to do. A good, working sandbox for drivers and applications would be good for the user and a significant advantage over windows.
I suspect a lot of the myer online traffic was window shoppers and people comparing prices. Makes me wonder if myer shut it down to pull bodies into their stores and create more sales.
No. Australia has a small IT market and you don't want a black mark against your name. Also, Myer don't need help stuffing up. This is the company which held out against supporting credit cards in favour of their own in house card system for **years**.

It depends on how much water you can suck through your filters, and on the available power. This device is not human powered.

No its because electrons flow through diodes the wrong way so power supplies need to be customised to reverse + and -

I am sure they are happier with customers coming to their stores.
Thats a far better idea.
