Uhhhh the WHO literally gets people from everywhere because its function is to coordinate teams from places all over the world........

"Our core function is to direct and coordinate international health work through collaboration. WHO partners with countries, the United Nations system, international organisations, civil society, foundations, academia, and research institutions."

So now it's us against the world on this one. We're about to get owned by our fucking hubris and ignorance....
AGAIN.

Who Does HIPAA Apply to? HIPAA applies to healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses if those organizations transmit health data electronically in connection with transactions for which the Department of Health and Human Services has adopted standards.

Sorry, but that's bullshit, people don't just wake up one morning to find themselves addicted to Oxycontin. Yes, I know there are a lot of people out there who take the stuff for chronic pain, I get that, but there are also a lot of people who just sat around after their surgery, didn't decide to follow the doctors advice to get MOVING, and became stoned lumps for weeks after surgery.... THATS how people become an addict. It's like people who went from rich to homeless......it didn't happen overnight. At some point people just failed to see the impending writing on the wall and instead of being proactive....decided to do zilch.

Which might be something worth bringing up if the average price of a new car in the US wasn't already damned near 40K.

I'd suggest getting a nice 30 oz Yeti or (in my cheap ass case a wally world knock off with a replacement slider lid and handle) and bring it with you, then you don't need to worry about straws at all, (unless you're one of the aforementioned folks who have some sort of physical limitation that requires a straw, in which case, get the lid, with the straw.... You get whatever drink, pour it into your cup and off you go, problem solved....

Obviously you weren't paying attention around 2011. You know, when Verizon and AT&T first started experimenting with traffic shaping and the deep packet inspection bullshit. It was during this time that people started having trouble accessing paid for services because of the experiments that some of the large ISPs/Telcos started to put in place. It was because of these various issues that the FCC felt it needed to step in and start doing some regulation, prior to that there was no need. The Telcos/ISPs brought this on themselves because they started to implement policies that would change the way they did business on THEIR side of things. The FCCs response was just that, a response to new motions from the ISPs. So no, it wasn't bad, but it was about to get bad, and thankfully the FCC stepped in.

"..."On the question of whether the U.S. presidential campaign is being tampered with, he is unequivocal. 'I'm 100 percent sure it is'."..."

I voted in Arizona, didn't need a hacker to tell me that.

So that only leaves what? Couple of million places left?

What does it say when this is the strongest commitment ever?

"We promise if you consider letting this go through that we won't break the law for at least....um....yeah 3 years sounds good to us, what do you think?"

Are they fucking kidding?

You could probably buy a 3 or 4 TB drive. These console manufacturers are rip off artists, The street price between a 500 gig and a 1TB drive is like 15 bucks. What a bunch of jokers these assholes are.

And the fanbois will drop to their knees and chap their lips all the while singing the praises of both Msoft and Sony for finally giving them the storage they both should have been released with when they debuted.

If Amazon hires the good talent, let's them do what they need to do, great things could come out of this. As long as they aren't Yahoo-ing it. I remember back when Yahoo purchased All Seeing Eye, and then they ignored it and let it languish. So sad, with some focused effort a lot of the properties that Yahoo picked up could have flourished, instead they stagnated and died. Hopefully Amazon won't go too far either way and picks the sweet spot right in the middle where they are going to hire talented people and then let them do talented things.

If it's just data and your average street cop has access to it, it's hackable. It's only a matter of time.

Agreed, I'm not exactly a total noob when it comes to using the command line, it was almost necessary to learn DOS even to run Windows 95 back in the day assuming you wanted to do anything a semi-power user might want to do. That being said. I've tried various flavors of *nix over the past years, Ubuntu 9, 11 and a few before that, Mint 14, 16, 17. They are ok, if all you want to do is browse and check email. I currently have Mint 16 running on relatively decent hardware. (Dual core e8500 with 4 gigs of RAM and a 280GTX card.) It's slow, it works, but seems like it hangs every now and again for no apparent reason, I tried putting steam on both 14 and 16, Gave me some sort of GLX/glide error something or another? Updated those drivers, then Nvidias drivers crapped out....I can't even use it as a secondary gaming machine for the *nix native games. I don't mind attempting to fix something that breaks, but attempting to fix something that just doesn't work without trying a million different random suggestions on a forum board someplace just doesn't cut it anymore.

Not sure, but I'm fairly certain that making deaf/blind/etc pay more for specific fast lanes to ensure content that is easier for them to use MIGHT be against the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). I'm not sure Verizon was thinking this one through. The ADA has some serious teeth.

120 gig version, Randomly hangs for anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes at any given, access lights go on, and the computer becomes more or less non responsive, I can see the mouse cursor move, but no dice for anything else. Have tried reading forum advice and disabling certain power management settings, same problem. No firmware updates, and it's slow. My daughters WD 500 gig blue edition is damned near as fast loading levels in games. Pure waste of money, I'll never buy another SSD.
