For your reference, a liver transplant gets you qualified for parking in a handicapped spot for some time after it occurs and all sorts of time while you're waiting, as does most of the other treatments he was going through.

Steve Job's crime was not displaying his tags, not that he wasn't a handicapped placard carrier.

And if you want to be retarded about it, he could have just bought a handicapped placard, but then his personal life and medical issues would have been on public display, which he didn't want.

So we're back to ... his crime was not having tags, THATS IT.

Are we going to use them for NSA contractors, coders for various banks and such? Maybe let them write software for various government contracts right? Great idea!!

Only because of bleeding heart liberals who make things so difficult and allow repeated appeals and re-trial long after there is any doubt of guilt.

And only if you compare the cost of prison versus the legal costs involved in the death penalty. The instant you start including legal costs for life imprison it goes right back around to being stupid to let them live.

Sure, when people stop killing other innocent people, we'll stop killing them right back.

The reason, not excuse, to execute someone is simple, they've executed someone else themselves. This isn't a difficult concept really. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean you are right or more advanced. You may be, you may not be, but you are not in the position to make that determination.

If America wants to execute people, THEY WILL. Not having the drug sold to them will not change that, as clearly demonstrated by finding alternate methods.

Finally, Propofol is not used for executions, Euthasol is. Pentobarbital Sodium. And its not difficult to manufacture, its patented. America could easily make it if they want to ... of course they'd be in violation of several international trade treaties that they expect Denmark to follow, so its really not something that anyone is going to do. Euthasol is patented by a Danish company, for reference, and they refuse to allow it to be sold to a state government for the purpose of executions.

Perhaps if you knew a little bit more about the issue you wouldn't be making silly opinionated statements as if they were fact.

I'm sorry you're too simple minded to understand that some people are not worth letting live, but thats the reality of it. Not everyone is worthy of life, deal with it. You don't want to execute them, fine, don't. We have other people for that. Consider yourself VERY LUCKY to not have to have had to experience something so horrible that you believe the only response is to take someone elses life, and hope that you never end up knowing what it feels like.

Of course, as demonstrated by Utah, executing people isn't difficult, they'll just shoot them or hang them, thats ALL THAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.

Instead of people being terminated quickly, painlessly and with no suffering, now they are fully aware of the end of their life as it happens. This is clearly a much better solution.

Personally, I'm happy for the lack of availability of Euthasol for use in human executions. Anyone who deserves execution does not deserve a quick, painless termination, they deserve to suffer as much as possible. The only way to make it better is to make them suffer like their victims, and their victims are NOT JUST THE PEOPLE THEY KILLED, but also all the people left behind. When someone murders another innocent being, plans it out, does the execution and shows no remorse at all (all of these things are the requirement for the death penalty in most places) ... and it happens to be your loved ones ... then get back to me on your high and mighty horse, until then ... stop pretending you're so enlightened. You aren't, you're just naive and selfish and ignorant of reality.

You live in Saskatchewan. You and the other 6 people there don't count.

Seriously though, are you sure its not just that you live in a very rural destination.

In the states, broadcast TV is MEANT for areas outside of the metro centers since thats the only place that cable providers really provide services. Once you get out of high density areas, cable ceases to exist and you have to get data via broadcast.

We also have a mandate that all cable providers have to support CableCARD, which means you can use whatever device you want, they can't lock you into their crap hardware.

The digital transition made OTA services better since the same towers covered larger areas instead of less.

I've had a PC running Windows Media Center recording TV on the broad cast schedule for about 10 years now. It currently has 6 tuners (records 6 things at once) for cable broadcasts, and an older tuner to pick up FM on occasion. I can watch live TV/radio, schedule recordings or watch recordings from anywhere in the house that has a TV via Windows Media Center extenders, one Ceton Echo extender and a few Xbox 360s. I can watch iTunes videos or play music, Amazon streaming, or transcode (on the fly) pretty much anything else without any effort by myself or anyone else in the family. With RemotePotato, I can also do anything that I can do in the house from anywhere with a fast enough Internet connection. I can watch TV on my phone, my iPad, or any laptop (we all use OS X, but Windows is easier) in the house.

To put it bluntly, my PC that is slaved to broadcast/scheduled TV kicks the living shit out of every DVR on the planet you've ever seen or known about, especially the shitty ones that the cable companies provide. Whats more important, it means I'm not slaved to the schedule or the commercials.

There are many PCs that come with built in tuners still to this day, as well as a few laptops, though you won't find a laptop that takes a CableCARD as best I can tell, where as full sized PCs or devices like the HDHomeRun Prime do.

I'm fairly certain the only miss here is your analysis.

The only miss here is your knowledge on the subject. Either that or your a cable company shill still trying to kill the CableCARD requirement.

You seriously have no idea why? Wow.

Cleanliness is the reason. To help prevent the spread of STDs amongst other things.

There are debates about the value of the procedure but the reason is known by pretty much everyone in the world, 1st or 3rd.

Some of us have large brains and some of you apparently do not.

Read what you quoted a few more times until you realize it's YOUR PHONE that makes the noise, not the wallet.

The wallet just has some shitty Bluetooth LE transponder and battery in it.

This should probably be sold as an insert for any wallet rather than a full wallet, especially their shitty design.

Yes, ActiveDirectory time is synced via the NTP protocol.

ActiveDirectory is a collection of protocols, most of which are based on public standards, NTP, LDAP, Kerberos, ect. Plenty of Microsoft Proprietary piled on top too.

You can point any NTP client at an active directory server and sync from it, just like you can use it for a kerberos realm out of the box, and with Services for Unix installed on your AD server, the schema is extended to support the various Unix attributes required to use nss_ldap and pull full user account info from it.

Windows machines not on a domain will also be happy to sync from a normal NTP server like pool.ntp.org as well, though they use time.windows.com by default.

So you're comparing a Arduino that has an AVR chip, an ARM chip, onboard ethernet and onboard wifi ... with a board thats little more than a break out for an AVR chip and nothing else?

Perhaps if you knew anything about what you were buying, you might have a clue as to why the prices are so different. A Nano and a Yun are radically different devices.

You've essentially just compared an Yugo to a freight train, to use a car analogy.

NTP doesn't just 'return a string of numbers'.

But either way, the article isn't about NTP the protocol, its about one shitty implementation of NTP that I don't think anyone even uses anymore. Windows and OS X certainly don't.

The summary and headline are equivalent to saying 'Netscape is going out of business, HTTP in danger of disappearing'

If he were to drop dead right this instant ... no one that matters would notice beyond his family.

No, it doesn't.

It is observed differently.

Keeping the observations in sync is easy, you base your ticks so they synchronize with ticks of a stationary object in free space. So if you happen to be near a black hole, your clock has to 'tick' much much faster to stay 'in sync' with the pacemaker. Its trivial to synchronize clocks since time is an arbitrary measurement.

Heh, so you don't understand at all how much of a threat Tesla can be to Porsche then, eh? The roadster has some serious clout. Performance wise, ignoring battery life, its a serious contender worthy of debating. Luxury feel? It beats Porsche.

I say this as a Porsche fan who isn't particularly a fan of electric cars. If they get batteries down to 5 minute charge cycles so I can charge in roughly the same time as a fill up, Tesla will probably sell me my next car.

XKEYCODE can be found in a very large OSS software package and was there before the NSA even imagined using the letters for themselves.
