Sounds like a "Tech Info Library" of sorts

I love how casually TFA Summary throws out the fscts that this company is NASDAQ listed, had a $6b market cap, and *never turned a profit*. It's vultures all the way down / up.

Those who don't already know may want to search his name +"Christopher's Hitchens" and/or read Rolling Stone's obit:

All that GDP "wasted" on America's health care system does more than just line the pockets of the health care industry. It keeps workers desperate. And desperate workers are pliant workers. Can you really put a price on how that serves our over-class?

For a given system, it's all about how much energy can be converted into heat over a unit of time.

Watts in â BTUs out.

There are many ways to optimize the left hand side of the equation but doing the rhs part in an efficient and stable manner remains a challenge. This is where scaling out is going to win.

My Domain Registrar provides SMTP relaying (TLS & authentication required), so I can configure my MTA to use that as its "smarthost" to get around this particular problem.

... There's your problem right there. Now that I found it, do I get a prize? How did packages with this bug ever get stamped "LTS"?

Well, you can have the firehose, which can be gamed, or you can have VA Systems^W^W Geeknet spend their hard-earned revenues on hiring editors like Timothy to hand-curate the content.... which would *you* prefer?

Rightfully, your post is currently showing for me as +5, Interesting. Unfortunately, that fact kinda invalidates your point. So, now we're apparently stuck in the "this sentence is a lie" paradox. Fortunately, it's also completely off topic, thus re-validating your point and setting the universe right again. Yay!

The problem is that decision makers need actionable data in order to inform decisions. Whether this is for legislators parceling out funding or administrators deciding on admissions, it applies across the system. The system is designed so that the system works smoothly; not so that children are educated nor that society is improved. I would love to agree with you and say "let's just fix this glaring problem"; But, how? Just about everyone I've ever met who's associated with the education system knows that standardized tests are a joke; and they want, desperately, to enrich children's lives. But the system fights them at every turn. It's no conspiracy, it's emergent behaviour. How do we push this side-effect out from the system?

Just need to encase the PC in cement and bury it at sea, and then those evil hackers will never be able to get to it! ... of course, that's going to cost you extra....

That's okay, I'll just head down the street to buy a copy from .... Oh, wait .... I know! I'll just go online and order it off .... Oh, shoot. Hmm, where did all the competition go? Oh well, I guess I'll just read whatever B&N or Amazon recommend for me..... Aaah, Excel For Dummies. Excellent.

I love to hate on twitter as much as the next slashdotter, but the summary makes it clear that the headline is incorrect and misleading, possibly to the point of damaging Twitter's reputation. What you *meant* to say was:

Afghanistan news site TOLOnews Leaked Obama's Visit To Afghanistan (via Twitter)

Actually, I found that little tidbit amusing, and I was surprised to see that nobody else commented yet on the irony of a connection between January and an optical diode

In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Janus is the god of beginnings and transitions,[1] thence also of gates, doors, doorways, endings and time. He is usually a two-faced god since he looks to the future and the past. The Romans dedicated the month of January to Janus.
