Well, if it is a periodic problem, they should just do an autocorrelation test or FFT and find the period of the problems, and then just shut the thing down periodically, at the same frequency as the problems. Solved.
IIRC [one of?] the authors of Freakonomics has pointed out that a study has shown that kids in car seats don't fare better in car crashes than kids in seat belts (the seat belts that exist already). Sorry, I don't have a citation.
What did the record exec not believe? If the police asked him to communicate that the performer was not going to appear, why would that contradict his belief?
I like chart schools. My son was in one for four years and thrived there in all ways. And I don't like teachers unions and the power they wield to keep pushing unhelpful agendas (unhelpful to education, but probably helpful to their wallets). But I believe you are wrong about why charter schools are successful and public education system in general is not what we'd like. Read Real Education by Charles Murray. In it he cites the Coleman Report, which showed that teacher credentials, $ spent per student, curriculum, and facilities have little effect on academic achievement. The factor that most affects academic achievement? Family background. The kids who go to charter schools have parents who care more about their education. They have an advantage before they even show up to school. I'm all for better teachers, but that alone is not the answer.
But you've just described a subset of sushi. GP said "just tuna" and correctly said that's sashimi. Most Americans will have not eaten sashimi, and therefore be unfamiliar with it and the word.
True enough. For some reason I was thinking of the definition where innocent==not having committed evil, like 'not guilty' in the legal sense (w/o the possibility of not guilty by virtue of technicalities, etc.) I do think you are generous with your description of children being capable of great evil w/o any conscience. I happen to believe that children, in general, once they understand they are not the only person who exists, are perfectly capable of understanding right from wrong, and if they don't, their parents have failed.
and while looking at the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Naval_reactor), I noticed that the Soviets did try some liquid metal cooled (not sodium, but bismuth-lead) submarine reactors. Crazy Ivan indeed.
Hot sodium and water don't get along well, and there's plenty of water to be had around a submarine, in the event of a coolant leak, things go from bad to worse. Call me Captain Obvious.

Interesting? Your guess stinks!
I was joking, based the definition of periodic as exactly regular, not /fairly/ regular.
BTW, if the problems occur after a restart, maybe they should avoid shutting them down in the first place!
I'm only half joking with that comment.
Thank you. I don't have mod points today, but someone should mod you up, Informative, and GP down, Misinformative.
Just think: if I had used sarcasm tags on my comment, I would have denied you the opportunity to make this AWESOME joke!
That's a Bangalore torpedo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore_torpedo
There's nothing "essential" about that. Hertz (Hz) means "per second".
And what exactly happens when a Windows user types "sudo rm"? Where do they have to type it? I just typed it here and not much happened.

I think it's MAGNIFICO-O-O-O-O. Nobody loves me either.
But sometimes you've gotta put one through a woodchipper. Anyway...

Thinkpads was what I meant when I said Lenovo. Should've been more specific. Not familiar with IdeaPads or Lenovo desktops.
So it should really be called PETA(EH): People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Except Humans)
I don't know about desktops but for notebooks, at least, I'd recommend Lenovo.
...and keep their cool!

If the Pee concentration is that high, you obviously need to drink more water.

When a comment that ends with the word 'exflunctication' gets modded insightful, you know you are on /.

No, but I'm pretty sure there's a patent on using "it's" (with the apostrophe) as a possessive pronoun.
Better watch out!

No, I'm going to answer 4GB.
You certainly have a different definition of 'innocent'.
