Businesses have been flirting with Linux desktops for a decade. Another decade and they'll work up the nerve to ask for a date. They're like nerds that way.
If you make a big line in the airport for bomb-checks, you've moved the killing location from the plane to the airport waiting line.
Likewise, if you move the Friday surgeries to Thursday such that Thursday is the new day before the end of the work week, then Thursday might exhibit the same death rates.
Yep, an actual flint rock.
FYI, ferrocium is an iron substitute, not flint. Flint is the hard substance that scrapes the molten flakes from the steel striker (or the rusty rock). With ferrocium, a steel scraper scrapes pieces from the ferrocium since it's softer than the steel.
if your mind behaves "strangely" then others will shun you, if your body behaves strangely (say, cancer) then others will act with compassion, provided it's not contagious
That's because most people recognize that mental behavior is almost always contagious to some degree. We're our genes and our memes.
Or the other way around. If the other countries won't import any US wheat because of a fear that any wheat might have been cross pollinated, then there might be US farmers who say "can't sell it overseas no matter what, might as well buy the easy to maintain stuff that gives me high yields", and increases GMO seed purchase.
"They" is actually accepted as singular in modern English (not just slang).
But it shouldn't be, because people use it in confusing ways.
In addition to that, most people object to being called "it".
In English, "it" is used to denote gender neutrality or ambiguity, but mostly refers to non-human things. Babies are an exception, and are often referred to as "it" if their gender is not known.
Shutting down via command line when using RDP is the fastest method; otherwise you get into fights with the UI (and some versions of Windows don't give you a GUI option to reboot if logged in via RDP):
Are you sure you want to reboot?
Yes.
There are other people logged in.
I said Yes! That "other person" is my non-admin account!
Please state the reason for the reboot:
Operating System reconfiguration.
Application Foo not responding to close request. Shutdown canceled.
#$^*@!
shutdown/r/t 0/f just reboots immediately, no stupid questions asked
1 IT person should be able to support 1000-10,000 people depending on system homogeneity. BYOD makes everything heterogeneous unless the company mandates what hardware you're allowed to buy. That's why you could only support 100 people per IT person.
The main reason Americans like cold beer isn't due to flavor (or lack thereof), but more because it gets $@#% hot over here in the summer months, often up to 39C, and if the humidity is bad enough, the heat sticks around into the evening hours for lows around 30C.
Nothing is preventing you to enter into a contract with your dog. You get his paw print on a piece of paper and you're golden.
a contract requires a meeting of the minds to be valid, not a signature (else verbal contracts would not exist). You can not enter a meeting of the minds with a dog, no matter what the dog whisperer tells you, and no matter how many tricks the dog will do for the sheer joy of seeing you happy (or the hope for a biscuit).
Likewise, in many states, minors (and incompetent people) are not considered to have minds developed enough to understand the intricacies/repercussions of the contracts put before them. There are reasons beyond "teachers are always nice people" that teachers can't trick classrooms full of kids into signing their names on a contract that says "Mrs. X taught Timmy to read and write, so when Timmy is 28, he owes 1% of all income, compounded monthly at an interest rate of 3% to Mrs. X.", then collecting a hefty retirement bonus.
No, MSNBC and all the other networks but Fox are in pander mode. Once you get past idiot partisan biases, you realize a simple fact:
If you vote in a Democrat, one shitty network, Fox, and a handful of conservative rags will investigate the administration.
If you vote for a Republican, all the good networks (and the ridiculously shitty MSNBC) and the vast majority of the press will investigate the administration.
Vote Republican just so the fourth estate will do their fucking job.
That might actually convince some of my friends. If they actually believed that the big news players were playing softball. They think they're playing hardball, and that Fox is making up fake documents Dan Rather style.

FCC, you can thank them for your [TV] not blowing our your ear drums when your TV switches to commercial.
I thought Congress had to craft a specific bill about that because the FCC wasn't doing its job in that regard.
Better than a fragrant way...
And so what if the one you've set up a date with turns out to be a lesbian dolphin trainer?
What I'd like to know is how she became so specialized as to only train lesbian dolphins.

Violets are blue. Have you ever gotten one to smile or go out for a night of fun? They just sit there, like they're rooted to the ground.
But it's the most stressful thing they do. They might look forward to a stress-free Friday, making Thursday dangerous.

Flint. Again, pre-history.
Japan's domestic wheat market accounts for 10% of their usage and there isn't much they can do to increase that.
They could switch to genetically modified wheat...
Or the other way around. If the other countries won't import any US wheat because of a fear that any wheat might have been cross pollinated, then there might be US farmers who say "can't sell it overseas no matter what, might as well buy the easy to maintain stuff that gives me high yields", and increases GMO seed purchase.
You know, I redeploy fire regularly. It's a technology first developed in pre-history.
So more than mere patent violation. Theft! He's a wheat pirate!
I'm not kidding. Make it a social gathering for people who are in CS, not a place to discuss more CS concepts (that's what your classes are for).
Closed; won't fix; can't reproduce.

And not just with a link. No, this is not a well known acronym yet.

It's not about the money, it's about the signing over of rights.

What's really sad is your voice of reason sounds like paranoia to ordinary people. No one outside of tech circles remembers the rootkit fiasco.
