This is the correct response. Educate and let each live or die according to his own conscience.

Don't tell Valve! You'll ruin there latest business model!

Seriously, I've used GPUs from all three manufacturers and found every Intel and nvidia hardware/driver combination I've tried to work well in Linux, and every AMD combination to be the opposite. I wish it were not so, but it is, in my experience.

Mine smells like honey. Not all the time, but sometimes right after a sneeze or a general good cleaning. At first I thought it was some kind of floral scent, but then one day I sneezed near my 6 year-old daughter and she correctly identified it as honey. I still haven't nailed down what kind of honey. This only started happening maybe a year ago, but I hope it becomes more frequent.

There are varying degrees of boned. UPnP lets the black hat turn a small exploit into a big one.

Well yes, there's that too.

Mod parent up. UPnP is insecure by design. It's very purpose is to take security and control out of the hands of the user, and put it squarely in the hands of whatever happens to be running on your network.

It's too bad that most people don't understand enough about network security to configure their own router, and a double shame that the kludge we call NAT has further broken network applications, but convenient "workarounds" like UPnP could only ever lead to problems like the summary lays out.

I think our boys in the UK already solved this problem.

That makes sense to me. I live in northern Alberta, and while we're all used to driving on ice and snow for 6 months of the year, it's the rare snow in June that does the most damage. We had around 2m of snow between late October and mid January this year, and I can't think of a tree that took damage due to the weight. By contrast, we had one rare snowfall in June last year and trees were snapping all over the place; power went out. It wasn't the snow that got them per se, it was the fact that the snow was warm and heavy and the trees still had their leaves on.

Snow tires make a huge difference, but surveys have shown that most Canadians don't even use them (outside of Quebec where they are legally mandated). I'm sure that was a factor in these southern snow storms, but probably not on the same scale as everybody leaving work at the same time. If we can learn anything from this, it's to take heed when the experts tell you to stay home, don't panic when the snow starts to fly, and keep some extra food and fuel at home for the inevitables.

I just reported on this, so I have pretty good information on it. I am in my fifth year of service, as are 52 others here. With 486 total employees, that puts me somewhere between the 22nd and 33rd percentile for longevity.

I was once asked that in an interview with my supervisor's supervisor (a VP where I was already employed). I gave an honest and ambitious answer and was promoted on the spot.

If you're truly happy with "(1a) Sufficient pay, (1b) Flexible hours, (2) Interesting work, (3) Leave me alone", then that question doesn't really require a thoughtful answer, but let's not pretend that there aren't supervisors and employees out there who can have a meaningful discussion about goals. That question is entirely appropriate in some job interviews, performance reviews, and succession planning-type situations.

I'm just dumbfounded at the implication here that the rover's ability to flip a small rock is regarded as luck. If it's such a valuable occurrence, should they not have included a rock-flipping function in the plans?

No, this is actually a brilliant move on MS/Nokia's part. If it takes off, imagine the Android royalties they'll collect from selling their own phone!

Having thought about it, I can answer my own question. People whose job is much more invasive than reading people's email. Like, if my family and neighbours knew I had some secret spy job, but they didn't know that my job was to spy on you with a hidden camera in your bedroom, then I might slap that bumper sticker on there just to give people some bait to latch onto. I suppose you could call that irony.

Who would ever get a bumper sticker like that for the sake of irony? Who would ever do that, not having read somebody's email?

As an alternate explanation, I think maybe the driver of that vehicle was just tired of people asking him, "hey, did you read that email I sent you?".

That's how you do irony. ;)
