You can have insulin shock with a normally functioning pancreas, it can happen from a variety of things, including working out and sudden shocks to your system from stress, traumatic events, and so on. Saying it can never happen is assine.

So is the pancreas, it's a reactive system to external demands as well. So I guess it needs a sugar pump...no wait...it either dampens or allows glucose production by the liver as needed. Seriously, do you know how this stuff works? I suppose that could be a problem of course if you don't have a liver...but then again, if you don't have a liver you're going to have more serious problems anyway.

Really? Somehow it seems that it was the cable co's saying one thing, and doing something completely opposite. That's not a slippery slope, it's outright lying.

I'd be up for it if they cut the price by 50% for those that are willing to see them, otherwise they can take their ads and shove them up their ass.

Got a better one, know how labor laws protects you.

It's brainstorming. I do this all the time. Employee presents a problem, I say "well I'd probably do X". Now you can either go do X or go "well I was thinking of doing Y, what about that?". Then we can have a discussion about it. Keep in mind that when you ask your manager a question, his job is to make decisions and to do it quickly.

My sister would disagree with your assessment, and she's been a diabetic since she was 4 years old(31 years of shots now). If my great aunt was still alive, she'd be jumping for it too since she'd been a diabetic for ~70 odd years. There are plenty of methods to avoid hypoglycemia from working out, this in itself is a huge step in the current pump a needle in you every 2/4/6/8 hours that exists now.

The biggest problem is with kids and getting them to do monitoring, tests, etc., since many of them don't understand not doing something like that will kill you. It's a concept that a 4 year old can't get, no matter how simple you explain it to them.

Kinda funny, since I switched from nvidia to amd a year and change back, finding the exact opposite. Compared to nvidia where we've had drivers that nuked fan profiles and burned out cards, caused TDR problems where they blamed users--and later it was found out to be all nvidias fault because they dumped the voltage down on the cards so low that it caused instability, or the repeated whql drivers that cause hardlocks across 400/500/600 series cards.

Pretty sure the amd didn't nuke my card with shitty drivers, pretty much sums it up. The last 5 years nvidias drivers have been right down shit, and that's their own fault because as soon as they launch a new card they move their star driver team to only optimize for that card and then use the B team to continue support.

I just got a reservation notice for Win10 from Win8 itself. So it must be pretty close.

True on that. They just released 10130, but considering they're entering the tuning, tweaking, stabilizing phase, it's probably close to the final build. I'd say august-september, but july isn't unreasonable.

...
Apparently the answer to that question is, yes.

I see you're new here, and have no idea exactly how fall /. has fallen in the last 15 years.

I certainly can't argue with that, there were indeed.

Never. Now bow down before your DICE overlords peon.
