I wonder if the discovery is a cause or an effect.
People with shorter telomeres may simply prefer a sweeter drink.
Show me a study that compares the peoples telomeres before and after a experimental change in habits/intake and I will listen.
Or, maybe people who drink non-diet soda tend to do other things that result in shorter telomeres. This is one of the reasons why any kind of non-randomized study tends to break down.
Yo dawg, I heard you like CVS so I put your pharmacy's dyslexic tabular data in version control.
...or something like that.
It's very specific, in many sections, that the neutrality rules apply only to "lawful content".
Right, net neutrality requires you not to discriminate against lawful content. If it is silent on the issue of unlawful content, that would mean you have the option of discriminating against it. It does not mean you're somehow "required" to discriminate against it. You're conflating net neutrality's actual requirement with its inverse.
So... how do you distinguish between what is "lawful" or not?
You assume everything is lawful and don't discriminate against anything. Easy-peasy. Half the point of being a "common carrier" is that you're not liable for the unlawful content you transmit (specifically in recognition of the fact that figuring out what would be lawful or not is a pain in the ass).
Now, either you knew this or you should have known it before posting; yet you misrepresented it anyway. Therefore: STFU, troll!
I think you missed my point: the universe of possibilities for voting "against Republicans" encompasses more than just Democrats.
With the exception of Ms. Vinson's potential exposure to ~800 People, I'm not sure how You conclude "we aren't doing a great job at [containing Ebola in the U.S.]" Like Ms. Vinson, the only other two Individuals known to have contracted the disease were not adequately trained by the hospital in Texas. In fact, according to congressional testimony this week, They were not trained at all and the CDC had apparently informed the hospital not only did Workers need to be adequately trained but level 4 PPE was likely necessary, as opposed to the level 2 PPE used. Now, if by "we", You mean the Texas hospital, yes, I agree "we" aren't doing a great job at it. However, this point is not clear from Your statement.
By we I mean every person in the USA.
Diseases don't care whose fault it is that the ball got dropped. They kill people all the same. If people aren't competent to manage a disease, then they shouldn't be managing it. The CDC shouldn't be just sending memos from on high. If a hospital isn't doing enough, then this should be recognized as a national emergency and those who are mismanaging the situation should be placed under the supervision of somebody who knows what they are doing.
Of course, stepping in and actually doing something would mean that we can't just keep pointing the finger of blame at the folks who are bungling things.
People need to realize that the worst possible outcome of an Ebola epidemic isn't that people will stop shopping in malls and that the locally-elected coroner/etc and hospital board might lose some authority temporarily. In a state of emergency that requires coordination at the national level, sometimes you can't leave every decision up to the local level.
Yup. If posted on a typical distro support forum this would get a clear answer in about 3 posts.
Instead we'll get 300 "helpful" posts on slashdot where the closest to being helpful comes out to "stop using skype and pulseaudio" but most will be off-topic banter about Lennart and systemd...
Slashdot must be dying and this stuff has to be some kind of deliberate effort to attract eyeballs by making slashdot the premiere place for flamewars. Half the summaries and headlines are completely misleading as well, generally designed to maximize sensation and banter.
News articles should give everything away in the first three lines, and should give half of everything away in the headline. They shouldn't be teasers. You shouldn't have to read the original article to figure out what the summary got wrong. If I'm in a hurry I want the condensed version of the news, not misinformation substituted for news.
I don't know why I even bother here any more. The changes to the discussion system were annoying enough. It seems like the content has gone downhill as well.
Thanks. The geosynchronous orbits are probably the key - at any time one would be far enough above the equator to provide the necessary angular separation to improve accuracy.
Agree. It isn't clear to me how one implements a "regional GPS." You could certainly implement a global one and then disable it outside of the region (ie satellites don't broadcast when they're not near India). Maybe a few in geosync might work - they would all lie on the equator so the solution to the problem would allow for a position in either India or the Indian ocean, and if it is "regional" they could just exclude the southern solution. I'm not sure what the accuracy would be like since all your fixes would come from satellites without much angular separation.
Actually, I was just going to warn you that you forgot to redact your name. Then when I read that you'd already noticed it, I got curious about that used oil analysis. Seriously, what's the deal with the diesel oil and/or canola in your Corolla?
We now also know you drive an '00 Corolla and live in Walnut Creek, CA. By the way, why do you use diesel oil in your gasoline engine? I put the same stuff in my TDI...
Wait -- and why is the oil analysis guy talking about canola?!
It's not like 10 years ago it was enjoyable either to use a dumb terminal, and quite frankly I doubt it's improved (I think they were SUN dumb terminals connected to something I can't remember). These days you're still going to compete over resources over a extremely high latency link (relative to computer performance). Not to mention the increased use of graphical elements in the UI.
It's worse... these days we're making our dumb terminals using AJAX.
Why don't you expect that you can re-write the code on the dozen micro-controllers in your car
I do, and I have (or more precisely, I paid somebody else to do it for me). In my case, the guy had to remove the ECU and de-solder the memory in order to flash it; on newer models it can be done thorugh the ODB II port -- I consider that to be an improvement.
Incidentally, you can get a lot more horsepower out of most turbodiesels that way.
On other cars from the same manufacturer, some people re-flash their window control module so they can roll down their windows using their keyless entry. My car had that feature already enabled, so I didn't need to mess with it.
or your refrigerator
My refrigerator is old and dumb. But if it weren't, I would indeed expect to be able to hack it.
What about your cable box?
When I had cable (against my will -- only because the cable company charged less for internet + TV than they did for internet by itself that year) I used an HDHomeRun with a CableCard.
your DVR?
I use an HTPC specifically because I can program it!
your DVD player?
It's a drive in the afore-mentioned HTPC.
How about that PS3 your kids play?
I boycott all Sony products (especially Playstations) as a matter of principle. I was starting to consider forgiving them for the rootkit, but then they removed OtherOS. Sony is dead to me.
Your ethical criteria is arbitrarily created to castigate Apple for doing the same thing that hundreds of other manufacturers have done over the last 100 years.
Nope. I apply the same standard to everything else I buy.
I'm genuinely worried acceptable new products will cease being made (which is, of course, the reason for my rule in the first place).
You probably own a few dozen processors which are similarly handicapped by the manufacturer to function as an appliance.
Try me.
Makes you wonder if you'll start to see bubbles of high crime around airports with a high level of general aviation (which tends to use fuels with a very high concentration of lead compared to what was used in cars - ironically called "low lead" aviation gas).
Of course, there could be other factors. Such areas may have lower land values, and that could be a factor that impacts crime rates more strongly.
*All* patents are supposed to only cover a specific implementation, maybe not quite so narrowly as pharmaceuticals, but to the point that it's not incredibly uncommon for corporations to steal independent mechanical inventions by modifying them just enough to no longer be protected.
Of course, but the fact is that with software this is often not the case, and it costs a great deal of money and risk to litigate things.
With pharmaceuticals for whatever reason the vague patents tend to get worked out, but companies have still managed to use them to delay competition, which costs consumers a LOT of money.
The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong -- until the next person quits or is fired.
