Indeed.

"The drug acetaminophen, which is the active ingredient in the popular Tylenol, among others, is widely considered safe when taken correctly. Yet, the pain reliever can lead to liver damage that is often severe or even fatal when taken in doses greater than recommended. The problem is, however, that the margin between a safe dose and a potentially harmful dose is slim. Taken over several days, as little as 25 percent above the maximum daily dose - or just two additional extra strength pills a day - has been reported to cause liver damage, according to the [Food and Drug Administration].

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear DPR tell it, anybody could have been Nakamoto. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.

You don't even need to outrun your peer if you just deliberately trip him.
From what I've read of M$'s stack-ranking, this is how it works in practice.

Scariest thing I've watched in a long time.

You were lucky you only had to work with their product.
I had the misfortune of being at Sun Microsystems when the mindless Oracle borg took over.
I bailed out within two years.

Dammit; No mod points today.
Hey! Someone please mod the parent up!!!

I had the misery of working with Apollos at one employer.
There were two major issues in my opinion:

1. Security: There wasn't any. If you logged into just *one* host, you could change ANYTHING on ANY OTHER HOST.
        Imagine NFS-exporting "/" read/write to the world.

2. There was an environment variable that could be set to mimic either SYSV Unix, of BSD Unix.
        The reality was it didn't emulate either, making attempts to compile/run open-source sw an exercise in futility.

You are describing a *pacemaker*, not a defibrillator.

A defibrillator does nothing unless it detects the heart has gone into V-fib, then it applies a shock which momentarily stops the heart, enabling the heart to reset its self back to normal rhythm.

"In the bed is a (presumably) zombie-proof Truck Vault storage unit, containing a solar power pack, gas masks, gloves, a military First Aid kit, a folding shovel, and rope. Mounted atop the storage locker are a generator, fuel can, and food and water rations."

Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

Unless it goes to 11, I'm not impressed.

He has my deepest sympathies.
