It's not clear from TFA whether it was a change in the software, or in parameters to the software that were changed. What is clear is that in the case used to highlight the problem, dispatchers were bound by policy not to override the software's recommendation, even if they knew it was wrong:
While some services spotted the risk, ordering operatives to override the computer’s orders manually, five of England’s 12 ambulance trusts did not allow call handlers to upgrade such calls. They include the East of England ambulance service, which covers Suffolk and which only identified the risk after Mrs Mason’s death.
If you live in a colder climate, it might be better to just buy the generator. Burning those stock certificates will only keep you warm for a short while.
I just replaced the glass on my teenager's ipod touch. $30 and two hours. It wasn't trivial, but definitely within the abilities of most/.er's. I would have done it quicker except for those tiny screws and my 40+ year-old eyes.
Actually, it's a typo. It should have read pikasatellites, from Pikachu. They fit in your hand, send out bursts of highly charged particles...it makes sense, no?
I understand what you're saying, but I disagree that the difference in interface would be a large hindrance to someone switching. Of course, it would be for some people, but since something like Open Office has an interface that's common to a huge number of desktop applications, for most people it should be simple to switch.
quite common for venues to charge acts for the opportunity to play in front of an audience.
Of course they do. Assuming we're not talking about a hole in the wall nightclub, how else will they pay the bills?
If the artist wants to be paid, they need to be able to bring customers that are willing to pay, and share some of the proceeds with the venue. If they can't, then is it unreasonable for them to pay to get themselves heard?
Of course, they can always convince some modern-day Medici to be their patron.

There's a distinction between using FOSS projects, and contributing to FOSS projects. I thought the latter was being discussed.
I, for one, welcome our hoopy frood overlords.
Are you a patent attorney?

Of course he can. The Makita makes a much cleaner cut.
Sounds like a job for Mike Rowe.

I tend to wonder how often the issue in the user's mind is, "I did something to it and now it doesn't work. My best option is to deny everything."

This stands against the fact that Vivendi granted a non-commercial license to the team, subject to Vivendi's approval of the game after submission.
They had permission from the original owners of the IP. Then the IP changed hands, and the new owners said, "Fuck off."

That's iFred's iBoss.
I laughed so hard, my beret fell off!
Great point. See here for an example.

Why would anyone want to?
Not quite - If you look at it as a statement on the mindset and practices of the RIAA, etc., it should appeal greatly to the /. crowd.

I'm surprised I had to scroll down this far to find it. /., you never fail me.
Because the bottles aren't full. (And just hand it to me - too easy to spill it otherwise.)
Now try that with your laptop.
Apologies to XKCD
You don't need a huge pair (of binoculars) to see them. I've used a good quality set of Celestron 10x50's.
