It's amazing. I haven't been to this website in YEARS. I saw a link to this story on Twitter, clicked on it... and I'm right in the middle of a "Why would you use Windows when you can use Linux" argument from 2002. Did I go through a wormhole or has nothing changed here in a decade and a half?
Pregnant women, especially older pregnant women, are generally screened for potential fetal disabilities. And it's done early enough that the parents can choose to abort the pregnancy.
I stand corrected. My father worked at Kodak, and still had one of the Polaroid knockoffs when the lawsuit was settled; I could have sworn they were called Instamatics. My mistake.
So, after a lifetime of watching older members of the science and engineering community get outsourced, downsized, run ragged, and generally mistreated by their employers, young people don't want to sign up for the same thing?
Good for them. Maybe the kids today are smarter than we thought.
And mandate more open spaces for parks and recreation. Reduce the incentives for living in suburbia. For those who want to live in the wild, open spaces, that's fine. They're a small % of the population and their footprint will be negligible.
I live in an old house in a dense city neighborhood. One of my ex-coworkers was telling me he has no idea how I can live on such a tiny patch of land; he has a dozen acres with a pond.
I told him it's easy. I live near a park, which is much larger than a dozen acres, and also has a pond. I don't even have to mow the grass to enjoy it.
People will have to get a lot better at sharing when gas hits 10 bucks a gallon.
The red herrings and ignorance are rampant here today. So according to you, they can only carry "convenience foods", but not nutritional foods. And ignoring that, the majority of the poor live near grocery stores. The majority of the poor live in dense urban centers.
Dense urban centers don't generally have grocery stores. There are converted ice-cream trucks that distribute produce in Detroit, because there is a not a single supermarket chain that has seen fit to open a location in the entire city.
And bodegas carry convenience foods, because Twinkies stay edible a lot longer than fresh fruits and vegetables.
If this keeps up, they might even consider introducing innovations like "maintenance contracts" on their server systems, so you can replace a power supply on a three year old machine without scouring eBay for parts.
According to Marty, when asked about IPv6 support at this year's EDUCAUSE Security conference, Snort will happily inspect IPv6 traffic if you configure the HOME_NET to be an IPv6 network.
There's no explicit option to turn it on, because it shifts from v4 to v6 when the rest of the configuration is set up properly. This subtlety seems to elude people. Well, either that or the guy who initially wrote the software doesn't know how it works.
Snort is nowhere near dead - it's still used in tons of production environments, especially in higher ed (where we've always got plenty of Unix nerds on hand, and never have any money).
I would imagine Marty's objections probably have something to do with his desire to move people from Snort to the commercial IDS offerings from Sourcefire. That easy upsell doesn't exist if people start off on another product.
I ride a bike to work, year-round, in sunny Buffalo. Winters aren't bad, just dress appropriately for the temperature and get some studded tires for traction.
Like many higher education institutions, the college I work for has IT lumped in with the library and reporting to a common vice-president, who reports to the senior academic VP.
It makes things... interesting. While librarians and IT people are both concerned with the information flow within in the college, our technophilia and their technophobia are not often compatible.
I spoke to some fellow higher education IT people last week who were putting all of their documentation into Confluence. I haven't used it myself, but they were very happy with it as a cross-platform solution.

Truth. I work in a very flexible office, and my boss asked me why I don't work from home more often. I told him because it's full of kids.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs calls them that too. Shocking.

So you can stop with the OMG NAZIS handwaving.
Furthermore if they simply sold raw feeds of every single event they could make a TON of money from people picking and choosing what to watch.
No kidding. I love the Mountain Biking and BMX events, but they're never actually on television. Instead, it's three hours of Shot Put!

Bastards.
If only the company who commissioned this survey happened to sell a bunch of account and identity management tools.... Oh, they do? What luck!
It's almost like shuttling weak students who are afraid of math and science into teacher training programs was a BAD idea.

"Cognitive skills are at a premium, and they are unevenly distributed."
So are physical skills. Which is why there are only a couple hundred guys in the world good enough at catching a football to do it for a living.
Life is unfair and uneven.
I sync Evolution with a Samsung Epix running Windows Mobile 6.5. Works fine, at least with the USB cable - I haven't tried Bluetooth.
I'm running Debian Squeeze.

Because, of course, all those baby boomers were completely uneducated.
Judging by what a complete goddamned nightmare they're handing off to my generation, I don't really find it difficult to believe.
