Merde verte.

A lot of side-effects are reported by users and not subjected to scientific scrutiny to establish causality. The other day I found a reported side effect for pregabaline (used for neuropathic pain and some epilepsies) that was "inappropriate behaviour".

Don't try to do that with a browser reading /. though. Doesn't seem to work right (something to do with wonky CSS, I suspect)

And if you don't think that's a backronym, I have some swampland in Florida to sell you.

Actually, USPS does derive quite a bit of its revenue from "bulk rate" mail.

Sounds like we need more bots.

Wait a minute. They forced pureed food into detainees butts, in one case causing severe tearing and prolapse.

But hey, this Anonymous Coward says that's not brutality so we can all go back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Seriously, fuck you.

I doubt it. "Duress" is pretty well-defined in most jurisdictions, and rarely extends to "living beyond your means."

They can't make you sign it, all they can do is fire you if you don't. But since it's a "severance agreement," it probably includes severance pay and other consideration for the outgoing employee - otherwise there's no reason to sign it.

Saw OwnCloud in the title, stopped by to say that it is EXCELLENT. One of the most exciting (new) packages to hit open source in many years. Some things I use mine for:

Syncing OneNotes across multiple devices - 2 PCs, a Mac and a phone.
Automatic file sync (with binaries for Mac, Win & Linux)
Publishing documents to clients
Contacts & Calendar sync across multiple devices
WebDAV file shares offer native access for Mac, Windows and Linux.
... In a seriously slick interface with fairly simple and flexible deployment.

Seriously, can't recommend it enough. This reminds me, I should get back to submitting my patch for LibreOffice Spreadsheet previews..

As far as I know, that is more or less correct. Incubation time for ebola is 2-21 days during which you are not infectious. After that (appearance of symptoms) the risk of infection is manifested and remains an issue for as long as the virus is present in bodily fluids. Men can remain infectious for about 7 weeks as the seminal fluid acts as a reservoir for the virus. In summary, if John Smith hasn't had any symptoms there is no risk but I wouldn't associate too closely with him for a month or three if he has, even if there are no symptoms presently.

Or Norse/Germanic mythology, from which Tolkien wasn't too shy about generously "sampling".

That counterpoint is only valid if the poster claimed that American's AREN'T terrible drivers.

He does not appear to be that delusional.

Sounds great. I think I'll be all over it if/when I can get a copy of it uncoupled from Steam.

Since the system works like an old-school video arcade (how much you can get done is directly proportional to how much money you have to dump into it), I'm not quite sure what you're getting at.
