I don't think so, but they may still be in use for some older VMS systems.
I think I read that Itanium isn't affected by Meltdown or Spectre. If I remember correctly, Itanium and Alpha shared some technology as a result of the Compaq/HP merger, but I don't know specifics.
the vast majority of pharmaceutical research is done with public funds
I see this come up a lot but I've had a hard time verifying that this is actually the case. Although the public portion is significant, from what I can tell it's not even a majority:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/b... "In 2004, federal agencies funded roughly one-third of all U.S. biomedical R and D (Moses et al. 2005). " "Private sector drug, biotechnology, and medical device companies provide the majority of U.S. biomedical R and D funding (about 58 percent)."
There's a lot of speculation and conjecture in that article, but in all fairness you did say "about".
One thing about the study from American University (that neither chargedevs or Bankrate link to) is that the F-150 comes with several different engine options, of which some are made in different countries. For example, the V-8 5.0 liter is produced in Canada, whereas the V-6 is made in Ohio.
I don't know which engine that study used to determine that 85%.
I always felt that the initial news release about the crash at Roswell being a saucer was a deliberate ploy by the U.S. Army to distract people away from the work being done on Project Mogul. When that news ended up attracting more attention than they expected, the Army changed the narrative to a weather balloon.
Always make sure your sales team includes a dedicated engineer. They will help keep them in line, and mitigate situations in which a customer was promised something like running Internet Explorer on AIX.
That's not the way it works. People who are Type 2 don't become Type 1. They are two completely different diseases that just happen to share symptoms.
Type 1 occurs when your immune system attacks the insulin producing cells in your pancreas. Type 2 is usually caused by high levels of glucose in your blood because of insulin resistance, or being overweight.
Some people who have Type 2 can't control their glucose levels through exercise or oral medications, so they require insulin injections. This doesn't make them Type 1; in some cases they can get things under control and no longer need the insulin. A person with Type 1 will remain on insulin for the rest of their lives (until there's a cure, or they get an pancreas transplant and take immuno-suppresants).
I used to get these all the time, until I decided to play along once. I told the guy that I no longer owned the car in question, but if he would be interested in selling me warranty for my new car....a Bugatti Veyron SuperSport. He said "I can't find that in my system, is it Italian". I directed him to check it out on Google, and he hung up and never called back. Shame too, because I was hoping the extended warranty would cover the $30,000 tires.
was this man simply layed off because of poor performance
The article says he was let go in October, which is when the layoffs occurred for "performance reasons", so that could be the case. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/1...
It took politicians with guts to funnel all that money
Oh please. The Cold War is the only reason we ever had a space program.

Don't worry. all the other car makers are getting into electric cars. Musk's goal with Tesla is to save humanity by getting us off oil, and that is mostly done now. He can safely let Tesla die knowing that he achieved his goal.
I think his goal is more likely to make money, otherwise he would have been selling the previous models at below cost.
Do you think his goal will be achieved if Tesla were to die tomorrow, before the majority of cars are mainstream? I think that would hurt things more than help.
Slashdot Mirror
And suggesting that "Slashdot has a rusty iron up it's ass" passes for intellectual discussion?
Thanks for this....the article specifically mentions System Z, POWER8, and POWER9.
If System Z is is affected, does this mean that this vulnerability has existed since the System/360 way back when LBJ was president (!) ?
I don't think so, but they may still be in use for some older VMS systems.
I think I read that Itanium isn't affected by Meltdown or Spectre. If I remember correctly, Itanium and Alpha shared some technology as a result of the Compaq/HP merger, but I don't know specifics.
Does anyone know if this will affect PowerPC, SPARC, Alpha, and MIPS as well?

The Philippines and Vietnam are in the US now? Those jobs aren't going to the US, they are just going somewhere even cheaper than India
I'd consider that unlikely, English isn't as common in those two places as it is in India.
It was Indians that got let go, not eastern Europeans.

explains why it transforms into type 1 over time

Is this a mile altitude or distance from launch?
Regardless, he's an obvious troll, because he doesn't need to build a rocket to do this. A Cessna can get him to that altitude.

That's a 1650-cubic inch V-12.
Somebody please mod this up, this is the first thing I thought of when I heard the name of the engine.

I wonder if Rolls-Royce (now BMW) still owns the trademark for the Merlin name?
I've watched the movie and read the book. I've also watched From The Earth to the moon.
But it's okay Mr. AC, I'm ignorant in such matters.

I thought it was established the other day that the sites were being shutdown because they were losing money.
