Comment cicadian rhythms? (Score 1) 103
What is this about a bee's cicadian rhythms? Bees are nothing at all like cicadas!
So - is this a Good Thing or a Bad Thing? Or is it just an observation?
My experience is that Windows is missing lots of features. No SSH support; no support for filesystems other than NTFS and FAT; no low level disk tools (dd); poor NFS support; doesn't come with a decent text editor.... I could carry on, but you get the idea.
fwiw, most people just do not care about what filesystem they run on. It doesn't matter to the vast majority of end-users. For that matter, it doesn't matter to an awful lot of the server world, either - if it really did, Window Server would not have the footprint in enterprise computing that it does.
While I'd love to have something like ssh for Windows standard, the fact of the matter is that Windows is a GUI environment, and ssh access to that just doesn't make sense - especially when compared to RDP (which, btw, is quite secure).
At some point, there is going to be a massive failure. Someone big is going to lose *all* of their data. I still don't trust virtualization despite it being years old. It's still nascent in the grand scheme.
Someone wake me when they invent the holodeck.
"nascent in the grand scheme"
it's been in use in computation [nearly] since the beginning
Of course, it only works in parts of the world that get a lot of sunshine, so for example it would be a non-starter in northern Ohio.
I think the fact that Ohio is not near any source of saltwater would be the real non-starter.
Love how you excised the OP's context-clarifying statement that said, "Not that we need desalination in Ohio"
Still pretty darn funny, though
I'd like to be worth $20K/month, but I'm not
Are you sure ? If you're making $60k a year, the overhead in terms of benefits, insurance, employer half of ssi, etc bring you to about a total cost of $120k. That's $20k per month.
Shut it down for a week and you'll be able to almost hear the roar of a billion college students having their term papers failed!
A billion college students? Since when did 1/7 people go to college around the world?
Seriously, it's Iowa, the only thing this one's good for is showing who definitely should not run, and even that's questionable.
They really should run all the caucuses in just a few days. There's no good reason, other than lots of opportunities to bribe, err, donate to your favorite candidate, that these should run more than a day or two for all 50 states. But, that would go against the political machine and those that keep it greased purposes.
I've never understood why caucuses and primaries aren't run all on the same day across the country
I gotta say I've been enjoying watching people have fun with the headlines. My favorite was
Probably that headline author knew full well what Santorum means, and did it on purpose! Ew, still gross.
And you'll find "santorum" means precisely bupkis. "sanitorium", on the other hand, does have a meaning, and one that is distinctly not "gross".
Ahh, funny you mention the Pinto.
It was no more fire prone than any other car at the time. The Pinto also had lower Fatality rates than similar cars of the era.
Overall it was comparable to other sub-compacts. Looking at rear end impacts though, it had a much higher fatality rate due to a strong propensity of rupturing the gas tank.
There's a strong propensity for most vehicles to rupture the gas tank when driving in reverse on a limited-access highway
Philips Unveils Sexy Urban Beehive Concept
I'll admit... it's entirely possible that I don't understand the meaning of that word.
Just in case you're mind's going where I think it is, on no account should you stick your dick in a beehive..... At least without smoking it first.
Without SMOKING it first?!?
And you're worried about the beehive being a sexy fetish

That's more than I think we needed to know
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
