When soldiering becomes less of a duty and more of a way to delay starting out your life of dismal poverty, you start making the wrong kind of army.
Wait, we can do worse; how about making enlistment an alternative to a prison sentence for newly convicted criminals? (actually, that sounds so awful, I'm surprised it isn't already in place)
I suggest we find out why there is only one fast ISP per area,
Here's a hint: It's the same reason there is only one electricity provider in most areas. Generally, it is not cost efficient to run multiple sets of wires, but everyone wants electricity.
and fix that problem.
The solution is the same as with electricity. We've tried all the other solutions, many, many, many times over, and we keep coming back to the same small set of best answers; all over the world, in all kinds of cultures and every shade of Western economics.
> Because we never had people trying to wipe us out before Muslims came along...
Were you trying to be funny? The Muslims have been trying to conquer Europe for a very long time. If anything, the last couple of centuries is just a temporary lull. They have been at this pretty much since their religion was founded.
"before Muslims came long" gets back to about 700AD.
ONE person dies and they go full retard? WTF? This was one guy with a gun. It's no reason to engage in national hysterics. They have managed to outdo us in US by a country mile.
I like how smartass respondents like to gloss over confirmations in their own reference as if they didn't exist, and wouldn't be caught.
Phototoxicity often occurs upon repeated exposure of fluorescently labeled cells to illumination from lasers and high-intensity arc-discharge lamps. In their excited state, fluorescent molecules tend to react with molecular oxygen to produce free radicals that can damage subcellular components and compromise the entire cell. In addition, several reports have suggested that particular constituents of standard culture media, including the vitamin riboflavin and the amino acid tryptophan, may also contribute to adverse light-induced effects on cultured cells. Fluorescent proteins, due to the fact that their fluorophores are buried deep within a protective polypeptide envelope, are generally not phototoxic to cells. However, many of the synthetic fluorophores, such as the MitoTracker and nuclear stains (Hoechst, SYTO cyanine dyes, and DRAQ5), can be highly toxic to cells when illuminated for even relatively short periods of time. In designing experiments, fluorophores that exhibit the longest excitation wavelengths possible should be chosen in order to minimize damage to cells by short wavelength
It wasn't the light that was toxic you idiot.
It was the fluorescent molecules added to the specimen, and
constituents of standard culture media,
nuclear stains, dyes, etc.
Light itself is not toxic. Read reverseengineer's response http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
As best I can tell, even reading all the other replays, THIS reply is the only one that makes any sense at all.
> I don't use Windows because I'm "forced to", I use it because it works well, everything runs on it, it supports just about everything in the PC business, and its cost is so low, it might as well be free.
I have known plenty of people that use Windows because they think they are forced into it. This idea goes all the way back to the 80s.
They would still think that way if not for tablets. Tablets look just different enough to the untrained eye to get people off of their "must be DOS compatible" fixation.
That wedge helps undermine the longstanding FUD that average people need to run WinDOS so they can run unecessarily bloated applications that are really meant for professional secretaries.
Windows is still a malware magnet. This is enough of a motivation for "average people" to seek out alternatives.
> If lowering the price to $0 doesn't work, you can only point fingers at yourself.
Yeah. It's not like there are no other factors involved like a 30 year entrenched monopoly or zero companies that are doing any real marketing for the product or the fact that the company that "does everything right" can't manage to get past 10% market share.
Although none of that really matters. I just care about the AAA titles that play as well (or better) on Linux as they do on Windows. I don't have to put up with an inferior monopoly product just to play a cool game.
If Gabe feeling threatened by Microsoft can cause the 20+ year association between WinDOS and games to shatter then that's a win for all of us.
I know gamers that would dump Windows tomorrow if they could.
...and this is all fine so long as you apply the approved checklist.
> They do the same thing over again and expect something completely different to happen.
That's the perfect megacorp employee. They just need to follow the checklist and all is good. A critical thinker might question the checklist and that would be considered very bad.
If this were from some rag in Silicon Valley, it would be less absurd. The companies in that area actually do need real employees rather than trained monkeys.
The idea that the Wall Street Journal and the corporations they represent are worried about "critical thinking skills" is just laughable. Those kinds of corporations actively discourage independent thinking. They want everyone to be a trained monkey so that they can devalue your labor and replace you easily.
The LAST thing they want are people with hard to replace cognitive skills or tribal knowledge.
They want COGS.
Toxic light is a new one.
Having no substance, light can't carry any toxins.
The light might fry the specimen. But no rational definition of toxic applies here.
Indie games were already being made for Linux before Steam came along. Legacy games were also available. They're a non-moving target, so they are relatively easy address with wine or dosbox.
It's the AAA titles where the real gap was.
Being able to be offended is free speech
Troll. All you did here was invert my argument and then complain about it. I agree that the argument you made up is invalid.
That is not the equality which feminism is about.
Your entire sally was a troll, which is why I only gave it a one-line answer.
none of that is relevant to anything
What I said was relevant. What you said definitely was not.
This is something else for the mothership to sell to the individual franchisees. As others have stated, the structure of McDonalds is such that the master corporation really has no reason to be concerned what the minimum wage is. This is only a consideration for the individual restaurants.
Those can just as easily be put out of business by the mothership at any time for any reason.
Just jack up the price of buns.
Also they had an ancient, hacked and weird version of GCC for ages. I gather they have a modern compiler now, but it sure sucked a lot when they didn't.
Did you last work on a Mac? OS9?
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
