I believe the argument there is that a lot of those outbreaks were misdiagnosed after the fact and were some sort of lethal, viral, haemorrhagic fever that popped up from time to time over several centuries.
I have no idea how reliable that notion is, but it's the basic premise behind the alleged link between the plague and HIV and Influenza resistance that some European descendents have.
Ultimately, I have no idea as to how accurate that might be, but it is the logic behind that and it is backed to an extent by genetics. Although probably just a link.
The proof you have that you own the discs is the discs themselves. If you just have the receipts then you don't own them anymore.
Yes, the burden of proof is on the part of the plaintiff, but if you haven't retained the discs then they're almost certainly going to be able to convince a jury that you most likely don't own the discs. Especially if you've disposed of the discs.
TBH it's largely academic as these days I'd personally be more comfortable using SFTP or SCP for that use. But, the main reason people have that opinion of NFS is that most of us weren't using those options. I haven't spent much time using NFS and have found it to be more of a headache than it's generally worth. But then again I started using it after there were alternatives.
It's only a good thing if the standard of living is improving. Back decades ago it was commonly believed that by the 21st century people would be working only a few hours a day to provide for themselves and having a large amount of time off.
That didn't happen primarily because they underestimated the willingness of a willfully ignorant subset of the population to vote for class warfare against the lower and middle classes and for the wealth to accumulate at the top even at those at the bottom suffer.
Not quite, the solution is to more fairly allocate the benefits of such labor. If there's only enough work available for everybody to work 30 hours a week, then that's what people should be working. The fact that we treat it as 3/4 of the people get a job and the other quarter starve is just sickening to me. Even more so when the profits of the work end up in the same wealthy 1% or so either way.
Do you realize that there are still birthers out there and people that believe that the President is a secret Muslim who was born in Kenya?
As for more racist, I'd say if the shoe fits, there are plenty of people out there that believe precisely what the OP suggested. I'm not sure how exactly it's racist to suggest that there are people out there that believe that when there are people out there that believe just that..
I personally use reallyusefulboxes.com combined with those slim CD cases. I rarely need to take a disc out of the case after I've ripped it so it's not too hard to keep organized.
NFS locking up is ultimately a part of the spec. It was originally a stateless filesystem that operated over UDP. Unless you're using a more recent revision of the protocol and have it configured as such, you're going to have issues with it locking up regularly.
No, he does, receipts only demonstrate that you've paid for the discs, they don't demonstrate that you still own them. For instance receipts could still be retained if one sold the discs or gave them away.
That only applies to copy protection and CSS isn't copy protection. Moreover it only applies to effective copy protection and CSS definitely isn't effective at controlling copies by any definition one might want to apply.
It goes somewhat beyond that. The issue isn't just the lending, but where the money is coming from in the first place and all the deals in China denominated in USD rather than RMB. Additionally, much of the money that they've been lending the US should have been going to the workers to help them climb out of poverty or improve workplace safety.
Not that I can blame the Chinese government in this instance, they're in a really tough spot and even a relatively modest appreciation in the RMB can lead to huge numbers of job losses. I just think that if the shoe fits...
That's not really interesting. I take it you've forgotten about all the USD that China has borrowed to artificially depress the cost of its labor. Much of the collapse was a direct result of Americans being unable to pay for the things they bought. That's not entirely the fault of the Chinese government, but they Chinese government did have a prominent hand in making it harder and harder for families to be able to afford even basic necessities like health care. And the Chinese government did extend credit to the US specifically to better its own economy without any concern for the legality of doing so.
QE itself isn't an issue the way that you think it is. The vast majority of that money is metaphorically sitting in bank vaults and has yet to hit the economy. It's effectively no different than if they had just changed the FDIC regulations to require banks to hold less in reserve.
Then again, given the name, I have a feeling that you know precisely zero about what's really going on in the world outside of China or are otherwise blinded.
It wouldn't make that much of a difference. When things go properly you get a 2 day trip because the train has the rails assigned for a certain amount of time. Having more rails would help a lot with dependability, but very little with speed over all.
And no, it shouldn't be much faster than driving by car as you should be taking regular breaks to get out walk around, not to mention sleep. In the US trains don't go much faster than cars do and have a ton of stops. Changing that would require tons of money to upgrade the tracks and trains.
Going slower is the main reason that nobody takes the train anymore. I took the train last winter from WA to WI and it took nearly 3 days going and about 2 coming back. Had it only taken a day each way, that would be competitive with the airlines when all is said and done. These days when you factor all the time you spend in security and waiting for the plane to arrive you would be just as well off taking a train if it's only going to take a day to the destination.
Apart from being nearly 20 hours late to my destination the accommodations were great, it was relaxing and a part of the vacation itself. Compared to the last few times I've flown which were really unpleasant.
The issue in my understanding isn't so much the cost as the product. There are plenty of places in the US where high speed rail makes sense, even in CA there are places, but this particular line ultimately covers way too much ground and there's numerous ways in which it could go wrong.
They could just as easily do smaller sections with an eye to link them up in the future, we've been doing something similar around here with our light rail, but they're going to do the entire project linking up what looks to be about half of southern CA.
It probably wouldn't be much of an issue if they'd not have the regular income problems at the state level. But with all the debt the state tends to rack up, I have no idea how they intend to ultimately finish the project. If they can make it economically viable then it would ultimately pay itself off, I just don't see that happening.
Rare acts of sadism or molestation? You do realize that the molestation is going to apply to everybody, right? They're still phasing it in, but the intention is to send everybody either through the scanners or for an enhanced patdown. Normally if a stranger is using his/her authority to touch children or adults like that it's considered sexual assault.
The railroads didn't struggle to recoup their costs back then. They had government granted monopoly on the mode of transportation and had no meaningful competition from anything other than ships. And the ships were only useful if you wanted to ship your goods all the way across the country, otherwise you pretty much had to use the railroad as wagons were far from reliable and economical.
These days it's a completely different matter though.
No such thing as a filler class. If you want a school like that they're around and not too hard to find, they're called trade schools and they teach real world skills like mechanics and the skills necessary to be an electrician.
As for colleges, they're not job training, they're educating, and part of that is being exposed to things outside your major. It's the reason why having a college degree can be so helpful even when you're doing things beyond what you were specifically studying.
You mean besides there being even less assurance that the student has done any work and been exposed to the ideas and work necessary to earn a degree?
I see this sort of attitude popping up all the time and while it's admirable, it does express a certain level of ignorance about the educational process. One of the reasons for accredited institutions of higher learning is that there's quality control, there are still going to be bad classes and bad profs from time to time, but it assures businesses and other schools that are going to make decisions based upon your transcript that you've at least been exposed to the ideas and done some work. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than what's typically available for free.
I haven't had the time to look into Stanford's new program, but the numbers I've heard per class do not reflect well on any institution that's focus is on education. Students need a certain amount of personal attention otherwise they wouldn't be going to school in the first place. Some people don't need it at all, but they're definitely not in the majority and even those that do end up spending most of their waking life educating themselves.
Lastly, education isn't about disseminating knowledge, it's about filtering and organizing it so that the students learn the information in a reasonable length of time.Buy the appropriate books and you can learn the material, the question though is whether or not you can do so in an effective and efficient manner. Chances are the answer is no.
Education isn't the solution to that, the solution to that is fixing the regulatory environment so companies can't offshore jobs for the tax break. It's really not easy to predict in the future what jobs are going to be in demand, last I checked acting was considered in demand so that people on assistance could choose to train to act using tax payer dollars.
The reason for that is that the selection is based purely upon expectations of future demand as actually injecting some intelligence into it causes other problems.
Which is fine except that if nobody goes into one of those fields because there's no money for loans, then what happens if we need that knowledge? Few degrees are genuinely as worthless as that at the bachelor's level. Now some are genuinely that useless at the master's and doctoral levels, but those generally don't get much scholarship money without having to produce something for it anyways.
That was my thought, regardless of where you are on the spectrum it's creepy. Where you are on the spectrum dictates whether or not you realize it to be so.
There's absolutely no way that aggregating huge amounts of information about people without warrants and then trolling through it is anything other than creepy.
I said the same thing until I got my Nexus One, the advice I was given was that I didn't know what I was missing. And he was absolutely correct about that, I use my phone regularly to do things that I never would have thought about doing. Not to mention being able to do things like check email when I'm just waiting for an appointment.
Tracking my bus schedules, checking prices and verifying that a shop I want to go is still going to be open if I delay things a bit.

Trust me, if they ever did away with that they would find another way to overbill us, at least this way we can largely avoid it.
What pisses me off is that they charge people to receive text messages and the only way to opt out is to turn it off completely.

I'd probably support it if there were any hope of them ceasing the collection of data that's not relevant.
