There's literally nothing I can do to prevent some moron raiding his mother's arsenal and killing my kid if that's how he wants to end his life.
If you read the news headlines less and statistical data more, you'd know that the chances of that happening are far, far lower than your kid being hit by a school bus, or drowning in your pool. You might as well worry about him dying in the next 9/11.
Elizabeth II is the Queen of Canada. That she also happens to be a Queen of some other realms is completely immaterial to her position as the monarch of Canada - her royal prerogatives in Canada are defined by the Canadian political system, not the British one, and her duties and responsibilities are also before the Canadian nation.
The Morsby Field Paradox states that scanning resolution is inversely proportional to the square of the aperture convergence, so even medium sized 3d" objects would be subject to flattening distortion, or bending distortion, by a small scanner, depending on the reference point.
I'm fine with the chip; that protects me, the bank, and the retailer. I am NOT fine with the PIN. My signature can't be stolen; if someone steals my card, the signature on the sales slip proves it's not me. But if someone steals your PIN they have your every penny.
It happened to me with a debit card. I welcome the chip, but of they add a PIN I'll cancel all my cards and go back to cash and checks, even though they're nowhere as convenient.
I hadn't had any of the accounts I'd used, either, and wasn't sure which one it was. Still got the account back, give 'em a try.
I had cataract surgery on that eye two years before the retina came loose. I did know a couple of guys who had vitrectomies followed by cataract surgery, but the needles don't go through the lens, they go in through the whites (photos at wikipedia). I suspect that a vitrectomy involves steroids; steroid eyedrops for an eye infection caused my cataract.
It wasn't worth the effort, I just cut and pasted from the manuscript. It's bad enough posting journals, I take a bit more care with them.
Maybe, I don't see the use for u-racks anymore for a home data centers. I just use a desktop with four screens attached to it and one server with 64GB RAM acting as file server/firewall/router and running a bunch of virtual machines with qemu. XVNC or RDP for VMs running a graphical interface, ssh for others. I also have a UPS to keep everything alive for 6 hours if power goes out, about 20 hours if I shut the desktop down and use a laptop instead.
Well, except for the part where Linus isn't just writing code for the kernel - he's actually using Linux on his desktop to write said code. That's why he had such hard opinions on, say, Gnome 3.
1) I don't have anything to prove.
2) Learn to read between the lines
Cheers,
Interesting, the "shadow of the hype" is still hype. You seem to be underestimating me.
Apart from that, you are basically saying the same thing as I do and rest assured I have been following your recommendations for quite a while, especially the part about: "you could be making decisions for yourself based on the actual arguments and data involved."

Yet, back then, at some stage, almost the whole scientific community was hyped on ThinMan which ended up being trashed. Implosion prevailed.
All I am saying is don't jump to conclusions and follow the scientific community hype too easily.
