Your skin is your greatest protection against infection. When it is broken, like with a dog bite, the chances of infection go up exponentially. You don't need a wonky immune system to get infected in these circumstances. And you speak out against antibiotic use in this context?
A wash with sterile saline will do virtually nothing if the infection has already taken root.
Infection was the biggest killer during wars until the advent of antibiotics. And it wasn't just because lots of people happened to have wonky immune systems.
All I see is he's level 80, which seems pretty high to me (it's the cap, isn't it?). Can you explain how you can tell he's lousy in terms us non-WoW players can understand?
No, that's not true. The point of a perp walk is not for chit-chat. It is to get the media access to the accused. And they certainly did. The information never disappeared before and the audience was as big as the demand for the pictures was, just as it is with the internet.
If anything, because it was difficult to find out anything about the average person back then, perp walks stuck out like a sore thumb and thus probably were more distorting than internet info is now.
The big issue isn't the inherent difference between the two situations, it's that people are measuring the current day by the measures of the past. In the past if you could find out even the least dirt on a person it perhaps gave a good indication something was up. But nowadays there is so much more info out there on every person, that finding out a single bad thing doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as it did before. But fail to understand this, that the situation has changed. But this won't last forever.
It used to be there might be 200 pictures of a person taken as they grow up. And they were mostly in the hands of their parents. Now there can be 200 pictures of a teen taken in a single month in their high school years and some of them are in the hands of people who later might want to make them look bad (assuming they become notable enough for anyone to care). When there are dozens of incriminating (or at least unsavory) photographs of nearly every person in the public eye, people won't be as concerned when they see one.
If you're any kind of network administrator, you can figure out how to control access to your network. IPv4 was designed to connect, not separate, hosts and you managed to make it do what you wanted.
If want people to connect to services in your network, don't deploy this service behind your firewall. And if you can't stop others from deploying it, well, then there were already a lot of things you couldn't stop anyway, this isn't the first one.
And I work with literally a dozen Canadians here in the US. And they make the trip back and forth all the time and none has any problems. They did it in the last two weeks! Hell, for one of my Canadian friends, his parents moved to Chicago a few years before him, then he moved to San Jose, then his brother moved to Palo Alto. He got married last year. As you might expect, half the wedding guests came from Canada. Do you know how many didn't come because of the problems at the border? None.
My Canadian friend from London, ON worked in Chicago in the summer. He comes across the border to buy stuff like iPhones from time to time. He goes to see hockey games in Buffalo.
I curl with a huge pile of Canadians (as you might expect), none of them has these problems.
I'm sorry you are having problems. But I'm not as sure the full situation is exactly as you say.
Chi Mei Optoelectronics is owned by Foxconn, who owns a ton of other stuff. They control a ton of manufacturing business and a lot of the electronic subassembly business.
1. There's only one kind of hardware right now. Regular Wii. 2. If Nintendo comes out with a new HD machine, trust me they'll want to sell you a new copy of Super Mario Bros. This is already like the 14th version of Super Mario Bros, you think they wouldn't make another? "Come get Super Mario Bros Super Wii, same shit you had already, now HD. $49.95" 3. If the game knows to load higher res textures, it'd be because it detected it was on the new Super Wii. Except Dolphin can only emulate what it knows exists, how would it communicate to the game it was a Super Wii when there's no Super Wii to emulate? Nintendo would have to essentially actively support Dolphin as an individualized target, and they aren't going to do that.
Nintendo wouldn't put in extra large textures because they don't have the RAM to load them into. Even if they did put them in, they wouldn't load them because loading the extra large textures would make load times worse to absolutely no advantage on the Wii.
You're seeing a few items that look good because at times they are viewed zoomed in. And the rest of the stuff is just stretched and it still looks pretty good because cartoony graphics are very amenable to stretching. And then some other stuff (like the coins) still don't look that good.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear Nintendo did plan ahead and draw their textures in higher res for future HD use. But I would be surprised to hear the put them on the disc, let alone loaded them in.
Golf balls at high speed will kill. Sounds like you're moving into real weapons now.
It seems to me to board your ship, these pirates must pull up alongside. And your ship will be a lot taller than theirs. Why not fire or just plain drop a large cannonball (sphere of metal about a foot in diameter) through the deck and hull of their ship? It'll sink quickly and they'll be in a really bad way.
You could even use a video camera to look down over the gunwale and aim so that you don't have to be in the line of fire to do it.
Either you've run into an enormous, unusual group of assholes or you have a hang-up.
If you mention where you live, Americans might say they don't want to live there, but few I've run into would actually attack your country.
I think it's interesting you 'make up a word that may sound like a real place to avoid everything I do, say or think reflecting on an entire country' but then you apply what you encounter to an entire country... And also you thing Americans have a chip on their shoulder about whether others could be their equal while simultaneously indicating that there is something wrong with Americans that isn't wrong with Europeans, this making all Americans inferior to Europeans.
There are all kinds of people in all kinds of places. I find it very hard to believe that if you can't find a group of Americans you can get along with that you can be blameless.
I will say I find it interesting that there are a minority of Americans (a large minority, but a minority nonetheless) that are automatically offended if others speak another language, ESPECIALLY Spanish. Is this a problem in Europe too?
I don't think it's either of them. The top one about changing vectors would be unlikely to happen in commercial software like Windows, because they would have handlers installed for all interrupts already.
I think it issue really is the watchdog, MS is using the APIC during C6 state and as the 119 errata, the APIC counter stops during C6 state. So some interrupt that is supposed to fire to reset the watchdog doesn't fire and thus the watchdog goes off (as indicated by the error code).
So the 119 errata is related only as much as it mentions that the APIC counter doesn't increment during C6 state (which is also probably documented elsewhere).
There really isn't enough info in this article to know for sure what is up. That didn't stop the slashdot editors from going off half-cocked though.
There is no evidence Intel pressured MS into their wording of the fix/workaround. It's quite possible that after not finding a fix/workaround for it and writing an initial draft saying not to use the processors, MS developed a workaround/fix (perhaps with Intel's help) that actually does work and put that in instead of saying not to use the chips.
To those are are suddenly concerned about Intel chips because they have an errata, every chip has errata, tons of them. AMD has them too, trust me.
I've been running a Core i7 (920) for a year and it's worked great under Vista and Windows 7. I'm sure it has faults, but they don't seem to be an issue in my regular use.
I'm American and I've traveled overseas quite a bit. I didn't run into a lot of hate. So either I beat the odds or else you're full of shit. I know which side my bets are on.
And it's not like Europeans don't pull shit trying to tell others what to do. The EU tries to enforce their Protected Geographic Status stuff in the US all the time.
That's noticeably worse. Component manufacturers haven't tested their components for extended immersion in liquid, even relatively inert ones. This would drive the cost of the device through the roof.
In addition, I know people like to think of heat transfer as radiation or conduction, but convection is the biggest factor, even in a liquid cooled system, this is why the liquid circulates instead of just sits there. And in this case, the liquid is going to just sit there, the area on the motherboard side of the heat sink has no circulation. You really need the liquid to get close to the components to take up heat and far away to release it, instead of trying to conduct the heat through the liquid.
Look at the cross section photo. This dispenses completely with convection (air flow) and instead designs the system for direct physical contact from the heat sink to the components. Then the water flows behind the heat sink to take the heat away from that.
The problem is that means that you have to make a heat sink with varying height "fingers" on it to meet every component that produces heat (which is all of them), which means every time you change a component you have to redo the heat sink. And of course if you change the motherboard you also have to. With components available from multiple sources (second sourcing) and changing spec mid-model for cost-reduction, you can expect the profile of the heat sink to change frequently during the life of a model. And of course, you probably need to put heat sink goop on a lot of components, that might make enough surface tension that you'd have trouble getting it apart to service it.
Although this is workable, it seems unlikely it would ever be cost-effective. It'd probably be smarter to have certain major (heat-producing) components cooled by direct contact and a plenum for the rest that uses convection to get heat to a radiator-like assembly on the heat sink (except it isn't radiating here, it's absorbing heat).
I think water cooling is likely for servers in the future. Even end-to-end water heat exchange to the atmosphere like this proposes, instead of transferring the heat to the room air and then taking it out with air handlers might be the future. But I'm not sure these guys have the right strategy at the bottom level.
So, let's get this straight. So you're saying if Van Jones doesn't deny he is a communist, he is one? Did you happen to read the article you're replying to? The one where Beck won't deny he raped and killed a young woman in 1990? Are you saying Beck did rape and kill a young woman in 1990 because he won't deny it?
To be honest, the real point here is that Beck is trying to discredit a man by applying a label to him he doesn't like and playing down his actions. He's not interested in the situation on the ground, he's just trying to pull the same stuff Joseph McCarthy did.
As to these bacteria you speak of, they are going to be in bad shape due to the presence of massive amounts of oxygen in this exhaust due to the incomplete combustion typical of Diesels (they do not have throttle plates, and thus do not burn all the oxygen drawn in unless operated at full throttle).
Let's ignore for the moment the problem that carbon isn't fertilizer.
He can't possibly be getting enough exhaust to make a difference. There's just not enough carbon in the tank of Diesel to make a difference when spread across the field in the amounts he burns it during tilling/planting.
As much as we talk about carbon emissions, the exhaust coming out of his equipment is barely changed from what went in. If pumping in the exhaust from his equipment had a noticeable effect, then pumping in twice as much just plain air (readily available) as that would have a much larger effect and being nearly free would seem rather tempting for all farmers.
I was hoping it wouldn't show here, after seeing it elsewhere.
This article is all supposition, and poor supposition than that. It presumes the fix was under-strength ('band-aid they installed was not strong enough to handle the total load') when the problem was most definitely not that the fix wasn't strong enough, but that it didn't stand up to wear-and-tear due to the motion of the bridge.
This is backed up by the failure info and the fact that CalTrans reports they saw the deleterious effects of wear in an inspection a week before the failure, but thought they had more time to fix it and so didn't repair it more quickly.
On another note, does anything really think there will ever be a new eyebar on this bridge? Traffic is slated to begin to be moved off the bridge next year, do you put a permanent fix on a bridge you're already in the process of replacing?
Sullenberger is just pimping for his union. He's a good man, doing so, but you're also a bit simple for falling for it. Let me put it another way, the salaries of the autoworkers who screw together the vehicle you drive every day at a high rate of speed have also been massively slashed and many laid off. Is this not a safety issue?
But they don't have a hero pilot out making the talk show rounds.
It's a market economy. If people would rather pay $99 for a cheap light than $399 for a deluxe flight, then the airline have to adapt and cut costs. Same as when people would rather buy cheaper (and at times better, especially two decades ago) cars built in Japan or now Korea.

No, it doesn't contain a ton of NOx. The NOx in Diesel exhaust, high as it may be for vehicle exhaust, can be measured in the parts per million.
