This. Whatever happened to buying a home and then living in it until you die? I understand that you may have to relocate to find work, but that's different than just buying a house that you're treating as a financial instrument instead of a place to sleep.
Good thing we have the for profit industry in the US. With all those dollars guiding them we should have a solution by next week. Of course, only the 1% may be able to afford it anyway, but citizens in single payer countries will be ok.
So the money from single payer countries will have a solution by next week?
They place I worked at which used Tandems had Itanium versions, but I left in 2012. I wonder if they transitioned over to x64 hardware. This would also allow easier virtualization (?)
A place I worked at a few years ago had some really critical software that ran on HP Tandem. Makes me wonder if we can expect to see an x64 release of NonStop OS in the near future.
You'd have to disassemble the handset so that the UV light could access the microphone and internals, on what could potentially be hundreds of phones in a day.
Sounds like the General VLAN got hit. Critical medical systems should be on a separate and restricted VLAN. I'm a bit surprised that VOIP phones weren't isolated from this.
I don't know how things are in the U.K., but I spent a few years working in hospital IT in the U.S. The phones used in patient rooms had to be discarded after ever discharge because of fears of contamination, meaning that it was incredibly expensive to have a rotation of phones coming and going. This made it difficult to transition away from the old analog phone system that was in use.
I didn't get involved with the telephony side of things, so I'm not sure if this entire process was logical or not. I'm not sure how difficult it is to disinfect a phone.
The ACA made every poor, cheap and lazy person contribute something to the unlimited healthcare they got for free before
The ACA had flaws but it set a minimum standard of care, made everyone buy into it, to defray the cost.
So why didn't insurance get cheaper? The argument was always that people who didn't have insurance were treated for free at the ER, which passed the cost onto everyone else. You'd think that wouldn't be the case now that everyone is covered, so why are premiums and deductibles now much higher? http://time.com/money/4503325/...
I don't like the Republican health care plan either, but please don't act like the ACA solved the real problem; making health care cheaper.
They have the following skills/assets already in-house: * Security
Are you kidding? They couldn't prevent one of their sysadmin contractors from walking out with all of their sensitive info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
That's an awesome way to get your foot in the door, but you'll cringe when you first have to debug a piece of 50-year old code that is poorly documented and written by someone long since retired or dead.:-)
This isn't a swipe at COBOL though; this could be true of any language.
Cobal is a crazy nuanced language that is hardware specific.
Where in the world did you hear that? I'll admit that most production implementations using it today are usually AS/400 and Z-Series, but there are plenty of other operating systems that support it:
I've done many project plans for clients, and when I give them the results, they always bitch.
Oh man this 1000 times, but in my case it usually tends to be management that does this. They ask for an estimate for something, you tell them 100 hours, they say that's crazy and change it to 40. Then when you end up getting it done in 80 (which is better than the original estimate), they complain about it taking twice as long as it what they budgeted. This appears to be pretty common, it's not just a single organization I've been at that is guilty of this (of course someone on here will say maybe the problem is with me, which hell it may be true now that I think about it:-)
My gripe though is that if you already have a number in mind, why bother asking me to provide an estimate?
Yeah I'm not sure if there's a legal process for declaring something a "health emergency" with the WTO. Do you know if anyone has gone to this extreme? The Wikipedia article for TRIPS made some reference to G.W. Bush doing it with generic AIDS medications being sold in Africa.
And thanks for keeping this civil. A lot of people on this thread are pretty quick to call me out as an idiot, when I'm generally trying to understand how this works. I really learned something today! I had never heard of TRIPS or Doha until you guys brought it up.
It's almost like you're completely unaware of history.
Come on give me a little credit here. I may be wrong, but I doubt the EpiPen is made in Europe. If a drug is completely manufactured in the U.S. (or anywhere else for that matter), I don't think the E.U. would have much they could seize outside of intellectual property (which wouldn't prevent the company making it from still doing so in the U.S.)
The GM fiasco in Venezuela doesn't really fit into this scenario, I don't think anybody has a single-payer system for automobiles, and Venezuela didn't seize GM's production facilities in Detroit.

Is vNonstop it's own hypervisor, or is it something that's supported on another, say, VMWare ESX or Hyper-V?

it is the one piece of socialized medicine everyone can get in the IS
So everyone in the Islamic State can get dialysis?
This. I'd love to know how this number was determined. Is this 36% per capita?
Nonstop is not a legacy OS. HPE has, however, moved to x86-64 for its newer Nonstop servers.
Hey thanks for this, I didn't realize they moved it from IA-64 over to x64:

Yes you're correct, they had VOIP for IT and admin staff, it was only patient rooms that still had analog.

I can't believe that "Hello Kitty: Island Adventure" isn't on the list. It's like they're not even trying.
It's cool, thanks for being a good sport about it :-)
tong in cheek
That sounds painful. :-)
the kind that hand-picked Hilary over Sanders?
No one wants to seem to admit that they did this because she had a better shot at it than Bernie:

The Democrats have always been comfortable with their minority block....if they picked Bernie, they probably would have been crushed in November.

True, but what about something where there are no alternatives?
