Yes, DDoS was a childish play, petty revenge, and not helpful to anyone from a logical standpoint.
From an emotional standpoint, the M.D. is screwing with this person using the power of his position, not that this justifies somebody screwing with his practice in some eye for an eye balance of things, but... when my first child was about to be born, I very nearly punched out a billing clerk who interjected herself into the process with a very untimely demand for money - here's a woman who has slacked off on her job for the last 3 months, finally deciding to present me with a personal request for payment (first time I'd been told how much to make the check out for), and she's delaying my wife and child from proceeding to care for what was clearly at the time absolutely without question a life and death situation, followed up by 2 weeks in ICU - delay could have made a bad situation very much worse, and here she is demanding a delay. I didn't punch her, I didn't openly threaten to punch her, but she should really know in her position just how close I came to making things worse for myself, my wife, and my child that day because of the utter banal stupidity she was perpetrating on the situation.
In Florida, the radio tuning option was appearing just as the drive in theaters were starting to shut down. The trick here was to bring a towel to stuff in the window opening so that the mosquitoes didn't get in. If I remember, entrance fee to the drive in was something like $3 or $4 per vehicle, A/C was like a $2 option. Then again, my Dad's annual salary was $10K, and a brand new 6 cylinder BMW was $2800.
Throw in Zika virus and microcephalic offspring (lots pregnancies result from the Olympics) and this is just one big shit-fest
Didn't you hear? The microcephaly can now be laid at Monsanto's doorstep for the pesticides that they are using to kill the Zika virus carrying mosquitoes. So, let's make sure to use lots of that pesticide to kill all the Zika carrying mosquitoes in Rio during the games, right? Then when some children are born without microcephaly, Monsanto will be scientifically cleared of any/all responsibility.
I ripped the DVDs and haven't put them in the player in years, playback through KODI or VLC, I get black bars top and bottom on a 16:9 screen (no black on the sides, at least), resolution is poorer than my eyesight, audio is stereo (just like my hearing), but the story is the same.
Some of the fancy drive-ins allowed you to tune in your car radio, which gave slightly better monophonic staticy audio than that weathered speaker that hung next to the optional extra-cost A/C vent you could hang in the window.
Growth is challenging, but it's a better problem than lack of revenue, or unpredictable sales.
Middle management takes the occasional bashing as "useless," but in my experience, bad middle management is indeed useless while good middle management can secure their departments the resources they need and protect them from unreasonable expectations and demands.
They were a conversion from the laserdisc masters, weren't they.
This is my understanding, yes. As such, they are necessarily not HD, but should certainly be up to the best of what SD can do, short of separating out the luma/chroma channels.
That's what Wikipedia says, as I said: fine for casual watching, if you want to be fully immersed in an IMAX experience - from a movie that was released in 1977, these probably are lacking.
If I recall, I saw the original theatrical release of "Return of the Jedi" in a theater that was using 70mm prints, I don't know if they even did that version of "HD" for the original "Star Wars".
Just, wow... if you care this much you might care enough to know that the set has both editions, the one you detail, plus another that is much closer to the original theatrical release (basically a copy of the big laser disc edition).
Today I learned: I'm Gen-X. But, not any Gen-Xer can tell you about the original release, some of them still weren't born yet.
What I remember the most about the 1977 release was how it was still in theaters for a continuous run through the end of 1978, and beyond in some places.
The 2006 release DVD set "original edition" discs keep the original storyline intact. Wikipedia is replete with accurate criticisms of the image quality, etc., but I don't find any serious fault when casually watching it on an old 42" LCD-TV.
I get the picture, but it's clear that the large growing corporation is having difficulties with priorities. There is an "appropriate level of risk" to each area of a business. The reason leaders are expected to have an "MBA" style education is to give them some insight in to each area of the business so that they can make appropriate judgements as to how much risk should be tolerated in each sector. Great leadership will learn on the job about each area of the business, taking input from the people who do the actual work. It sounds like your IT sector isn't getting enough input to leadership about the importance of IT and the risks that are taken with shoestring budgets. Not faulting IT, great leadership is rare.
By the way key reliance on Internet connectivity is synonymous to the key exposure to vulnerabilities, that's inevitable.
Absolutely, though I find it amusing that I have run dozens (maybe hundreds, by now) of computers "internet connected" behind a simple router/firewall and not had a single "intrusion" issue since our first connectivity in 1995 or so, yet other people who take serious precautions with virus scanners, OS level firewalls, etc. experience such problems with security. The key to safety when using any powerful tool is to keep the controls protected from people who might misuse the tool. A point-to-point VPN tunnel presents precious little opportunity for attack, but if the computer at either end of the tunnel is used without appropriate awareness of risks, it can indeed be a problem.
If the parents have an accredited institution backing their decisions, BCH needs to respect the parents' decision and get the hell out of the case. That would be simple overstepping of their authority and role - BCH is there to help, but if the parents prefer Tufts, BCH needs to leave the parents the hell alone - attack Tufts if they must, but not through any negative consequences to the family. Even if the family is nuttier than a truck full of fruitcakes, BCH should go down for something like this, hard.
Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a mental illness and a form of child abuse
and it is a significant contributor to the infant mortality rate.
It's a tough nut to crack, how to respect good parent's rights while identifying the cases in which they really are abusing their child (or themselves in straight Munchausen syndrome without the proxy.)
I'd err on the side of "refuse to treat" rather than "remove the child from the home" - but that's also a quick way for the child to end up dead. It's kind of similar to a patient showing up demanding an MRI, then identifying their gall bladder on the MRI and insisting it's a painful tumor and needs to be removed, then going home and drinking poison, returning with symptoms of poisoning, but demanding the only treatment they will accept is removal of "the painful tumor" - what do you do there?
This is why I feel the "I'm just doing my job" shield needs to be removed from people who make judgements like taking a child away from their parents. Before a decision like that gets made, it needs to be reviewed by independent people, and if certain players in the game (BCH reps in this case) start taking consistent adversarial positions, they should be excused from decision making roles in future judgements - advocate, fine, judge or jury, no.
Oh, but that takes too much time and is too expensive. What utter tripe. These are people's lives, with decisions as important as imprisonment and potentially manslaughter, they deserve the resources of the justice system, and if the existing justice system is too slow, it needs to make resources available to handle these cases in a "speedy trial" timeframe: less than 24 hours to convene and hear argument, less than 48 to reach a decision. Anyone who "don't want my taxes paying for that touchy feely crap" needs to spend a week in lockup every time they publically make such a statement; yeah, yeah, freedom of speech... but, point is, they lack perspective and won't really get it unless they experience the unjust side of the current system.
Munchhausen Syndrome by proxy is very real. My earlier reply shows how limited exposure to the facts of the case can give a particular point of view weight - sometimes too much weight. We have friends who brought their infant in to a hospital for treatment and, thanks to the hospital staff executing procedure like mechanized drones, lost custody of their infant for over a week while they were forced to engage lawyers and drop their entire life to get their child back. The hospital made the absolute wrong call from a humanitarian point of view, but since there was a procedure in place all they had to do was point to it and they're congratulated for "doing their job."
Threatening to harm doctors does cross the line, but if you put yourself in their position you can see how they view the doctors as threatening to harm Justina. The whole "ward of the state" move is something that should carry some personal responsibility for the person "making the call" - I know it's a tough job and that most people in it do far more good than harm, but it's a job that absolutely demands compassion and sympathy for the people who are being impacted by the decisions - and often the people doing it just treat it like a mechanistic procedure execution, or worse still, a TSAesque power trip.
Too "/. experienced" to RTFA, I'm assuming that tablets are provided at these Link spots with which to make those free domestic calls? The disappearance of payphones has seemed like a step backwards in progress, sure "most" people carry cell phones and even if you don't have one "usually" a good samaritan will step up and help, but (semi) reliable physical communication stations at fixed locations were a part of my childhood that decayed away over the decades.
Providing free WiFi so that most people don't have to "form a line" to use the station is a great leap forward. I wonder how well cell phones and tablets will handle "roaming WiFi" synchronization, I know my Nexus 5 is more than a little challenged when it comes to syncing up to even one WiFi access point, I can't imagine it doing very well trying to attach to a new one every 2 minutes as I walk down the street.
The key component of "my setup" is: internet connectivity.
My home is not subject to flood, but if I cared enough to protect from fire, burglary, etc. the rsync job would be mirroring to a drive in another location. When I did the "professional" setup, we did just that, the working drive on-site, and the mirror at the President's house connected by VPN.
If the "corporation" with such limited budget also has only a single, flooding, building in which everyone works and lives, then they really should consider using cloud services if data is important to them. If the data isn't a key component of the business, then print the legally required documents and stick them in a storage facility (like the bank), and forget about the modern world of IT - not everybody needs it.

No need to be stupid to have unsanitary runoff in the lagoon, just poor.
If you're poor enough, you can't even leave.
Pro-tip: not every AC response is from the GP, even if it is worded like it is.

I don't care for anything above stereo, I don't care much for anamorphic, but 4:3? Really? Ouch.
Ya, I only have two ears...

Good luck finding a 9 year old box set, tho.
My original viewing of the movie was in a drive-in theater, with a blurry picture that obscured more detail than a standard color TV of the time.
In 2006, the DVD box set did just that. I guess there isn't much margin in doing two lines of movie restoration anymore.
