"Quell the clamor"

On my distro (arch) they're automatically bound to the "XF86Back" and "XF86Forward", and think they only generate one keycode for me. It might prove fruitful to search for instructions about how to get media keys working with linux.

That's exactly what I use them for ;)

I love the keyboard on my 2.5 year old thinkpad. Especially the dedicated "back" and "forward" buttons, which I've remapped to more useful functions. In fact, I think the keyboard is almost a "killer feature" that none of their competitors can match. If they start removing buttons I use, I may be able to make my next laptop a system76 or clevo.

The word isn't offensive--it would only be offensive if the church was claiming to be Jewish. (I had before never heard "Jewry" used as a location--only things like the "Jewish Quarter".)

To understand why it's offensive when Christians say they're Jews, imagine you're a Catholic. Some guy (born Catholic) takes your Bible and starts a cult around it, decrying old tenets, adding new and incompatible beliefs, and worshipping another god (alongside your old God). The cult becomes very big, many times more numerous than Catholicism. Then some members of this cult start calling it Catholicism. You might feel like your own culture was a little threatened.

This church is called "St Lawrence Jewry"? What a confusing and possibly offensive (to Jews) name for a church. Unless there's something I'm missing about British English.

I think Norway defines "need" rather differently than the USA.

Yeah, you're right. The article says at one point that "we don't have modern antibiotics, because if we had them here, doctors would use them." I incorrectly interpreted that to mean that they just don't use modern antibiotics, no matter how serious the infection.

I clarified here But what I meant was that in the great majority of cases, if you get staph in the US, your situation is the same as if you get it in Norway: you will either be given antibiotics that don't work, or you will not be given antibiotics. In either case, your body has to fight off the infection on its own, which takes time, but we don't have a better way. (The caveat is that Norway does use antibiotics if a patient's life is in danger.)

Sorry to reply to myself, but I didn't read the whole article before. Apparently they do give out antibiotics in the most extreme cases, and that seems much more reasonable than "we don't have MRSA because we just let our Staph victims die."

As I understood it, there are 2 separate things Norway is doing to fight MRSA, and they are not related (although the article doesn't point that out):

1. Norway is tracking the spread of Staph and quarantining victims to limit the spread.

2. According to the article, Norway isn't prescribing modern antibiotics. This ensures that the Staph that is being passed around Norway probably isn't resistant to antibiotics. This does not make Staph less problematic or control its spread in any way. I'm all for stemming the overuse of antibiotics, but this article smacked of propaganda--or it simply didn't tell the whole story.

I'm not sure whether ancient Hebrew had vowels, but I do know that modern Hebrew is written without vowels in just about every place except a dictionary.

I would add that if your goal is to get a job offer, learning is as important as doing a good job. I interned with a film company, and by all feedback I got, I did great work for them. But by the end of the internship, I hadn't really learned all their products and hadn't gained enough background to be a really attractive hire. They didn't offer me a job--I believe I would have had a better chance if I had asked twice as many questions (about things that weren't related to my current project) and learned a lot more about the domain--for the OP, that may mean learning about how a wireless stack works, even if your job is system administration stuff, for example.

If it's not hot enough to melt the tape entirely, you could probably use JB Weld or a similar epoxy to glue the sensor on. I imagine that would be a lot safer than using duct tape.

The Heinlein story Door into Summer is even more appropriate. The summary was basically the premise of the book.
