How about people are more aware of it and reporting it more? That seems at least as likely as your misdiagnosis/expansion theory. And, by the way, just because there's expansion of a category doesn't mean it's wrong to do so. It may be that experts recognize a linkage they might not have seen before, figured out that people who were previously seen as "close" to diagnostic boundaries are actually seen to suffer as much as those seen to be well within the initial boundary, a cure becomes available for something, etc.

You seem to come from the point of view that expansions of care indicate nefarious intent on someone's part. You fail to see that the world, and thus, the boundaries we draw upon our realities, change. Your paranoia in the face of it is unbecoming.

'Nuff said...

When you let the Masters of the Universe (TM) take over, you get chaos, destruction, and fear. Better to simply say no.

At least as simple as computers.

For folks who pride themselves on rationality, you idiots are vastly underestimating the complexity of biological systems. It's almost like you have a model that biological entities were simple clockwork mechanism designed by a higher power or something.

Give up the irrationality and paranoia - sometimes cures are just far away. You want cures? Commit to the hard work they take to find.

... where the 1% live like Startfleet and the rest of us live like Bajoran refugees.

There's far too much software out there that depends on having clocks close to in sync.

They had new security features in their CPU's already. They needed partners in the security industry to integrate same.

McAfee was an early partner. Intel thought they did a reasonably good job at integrating the new features (prototypes of DeepCommand, etc.). At the time, Intel's hardware lines were saturating (except in mobile where they were still scrambling to catch up), they thought they'd done OK with the Wind River acquisition, so why not buy an evergreen cash generator of a software company? So they did.

Of course, it sort of borked their relationship with the rest of the security industry. And neither McAfee nor Intel really zoomed from the "synergy", but it's generated revenue for Intel so it wasn't an awful acquisition - just one Intel thought would do a lot more than it actually did.

Intel (Renee James included), never really got software. At their heart, they're a hardware manufacturing company. And that leaks all over the rest of the organization - hardware and software. The impedance mismatch between the manufacturing-oriented management and the software organizations are really too great to be overcome - software is a stretch too far (let alone their abortive attempts at consumer products, about which I shall make no further comment).

Intel should continue to acquire strategic software organizations, but leave them as independent operating entities. Because, as it is right now, Intel is simply the Roach Motel of software acquisitions.

Because they just don't seem to have any good long term plans.

And we do?

The debt to GDP ratio is 105% and climbing, a healthy GDP to debt ratio in a developed economy is between 50 and 60%.

Never mind.

All I hear from the Euro side is nationalism. Blah, blah, blah, the Greeks... Blah, blah, blah, the Germans.

The bottom line is that national political issues cannot be overridden no matter what the economic issues are. Y'all just might as well invade if you want your money back - your idea of economic union without political union was stupid. Germany was stupid, France was stupid and the other countries of Europe were stupid, as well. The best thing economically that could happen is that the Eurozone can collapse and economies and political power can be aligned again. Better the sound of gunfire than your continual whining "We want our moneeeeeyyyy!!!!"

if they upset their creditors too much, they can expect truly unpleasant consequences.

Like, uh, the folks in Iceland, who abrogated their debts to their banks after the 2008 crash? They seen to be suffering truly horrific consequences.

You like that, try bipolar Type II. No highs - just irritation and agitation - but the lows are just the same. That one really sucks.

I think it is dangerous to allow for that broad of discretion for the judicial branch.

So maybe conservatives should have stopped their legal challenge to prevent this danger, knowing that they were likely to lose?

For the tl;dr crowd, the South wanted to count them as 5/5ths of a person and the North wanted to count them as 0/5ths of a person.

The problem is that the North came around to the right side of things with respect to rights, while the South only wanted slaves counted - not to give them actual rights.

But the fact is, things change. Things changed between the establishment of the constitution and the Civil War, just as things have changed between the Civil War and now. The time for this symbol is gone. If Southerners are the true patriots they claim to be, they'd throw away this symbol to tyranny and rebellion against their country and pledge allegiance to their real flag instead of worshiping the Confederation's rebellious symbol.

As I said, things change. But the South seems to be too stubborn to change fast enough. We in the North are tired of your social heel-dragging trying to keep us in 1950's America. The bottom line is that the world has changed. Fucking adapt, already. Or secede. Don't care which. Just get out of the way.
