P.S. Slashdot blocks me, after a true comment they didn't like.
When did that happen?!!
After listening to their "story", it sounds like it happened on the second tuesday of last week.

Admitting that I saw so-and-so drink the other night means that I am at least admitting to being where so-and-so was drinking, which can be used against me. If I say nothing, it can't.
That might be true in your back-woods, but up here in civilized country (canada), you're not "protected" when "protecting others". It's called aiding and abetting, if I remember correctly, and several of our laws (not just our criminal code) require that you co-operate when being questioned. Not just cops, either - in some provinces, it includes helping people investigating workplace health/safety or harassment/violence issues.
That cop is not your friend, no matter which side of the law you are on.
This (you!) is what's wrong with our country. The police are doing their job to enforce the law. You don't like laws being enforced? Then maybe you should move to africa. I hear they've got no police, and it's going great over there.
I've had it both ways. Sealed letters in academia can be ruthlessly honest "Do not take this person as a graduate student", but business references, ya they have to worry about defamation, where they seem like a bunch of MBA illiterate waffle.
Even then, there are ways to say bad things without saying bad things.
Sealed letters in academia are notoriously easy to freeze, open, read, heat and re-seal. If you're at a level of academia where they do sealed letters (grad and above), you should be smart enough to know this...
The best way for an employer to legally "not-recommend" you in a reference check is to leave a long, uncomfortable silence when the person asks about you.
MOD THIS GUY TO THE 'N TOP. TO.THE.TOP!
I've been ranting about this for months, it's difficult to put into words my thoughts on this without sounding like a raving lunatic or a badly broken record. I am _sick_ of companies making stupid decisions with their user interfaces.
Why on EARTH would we want a nice, consistent location for a button to now become a random location on the screen? and what makes them think three odd little dots represents 'settings' or 'menu' clearly? WHAT?
I do not exaggerate when I say one of the PRIMARY reasons I switched from Apple to Android was the complete and utter logic of having nice, consistent buttons for routine functions. Back, menu, home seem logical to me. I also NEVER, EVER use the multi-task button, why would I? The OS handles it all perfectly for me, when I hit home it minimises the application (so to speak) and when I re-open the application, it's where I wanted it. Furthermore, holding down the home key (Samsung) seems logical to multi-tasking to me, not a dedicated button.
I am extremely, extremely baffled and pissed off at this completely and utterly idiotic move and it's also one of the primary reasons I got the Galaxy S3, possibly one of the last Android phones with a logical button scheme. Sadly, I'm only one person whining about this but by god does the Google engineering group who decided on this change need a mighty fucking slap with the logic bat.
... or install CyanogenMod and customize your settings yourself, and stop whining.
Thanks! That's good to know. I haven't actually experimented much with Cyanogen yet because i've never felt to need to install it on my Nexus One. (I'm trying to hold out until the rumored five new Nexus phones this fall.) But i'm definitely going to be looking into it once i get my Nexus 7.
You're missing out. Using vanilla android is THAT much better than most skinned versions, and using Cyanogen is THAT much better than vanilla. It's essentially ALL the options and customization you didn't realize you needed, but once you've got it, you'll never go back to vanilla.
I don't think they -forgot- that, I think they just focused on one step at a time.
Gee Karl, did you forget to remove the CO2 from my kid's pet rabbit? It went all floppy after I gave it back to him.
Sorry Stan, It must have slipped my mind. Good for science, though!
You're right Karl, look at me still talking when there's science to be done.
The experimental solutions contained 50-90 mL of O2 per deciliter - to sustain an adult human, you need about 300 mL O2 per minute. At least 300 mL of IV fluid and as much as 600 mL per minute is going to have to go through one hell of an IV. I doubt you could achieve such infusion rates without specialized equipment (e.g., 8.5 French rapid infusion catheter + Level One pump) or multiple intraosseous needles. Furthermore, this is temporizing just like any other O2 delivery method. Oxygen is essential for life, but eventually you have to clear the CO2, or it's pointless. As a bridge to a secure airway or crash on to cardiopulmonary bypass? Sure, it's not a bad idea, except that the only thing that matters in that kind of life-or-death situation is how long it takes to get it in the room. By the time you get this stuff out of the refrigerator in pharmacy and run it to the OR, ER, or ICU, you could have gotten a surgeon there to do the cricothyrotomy or even a proper tracheostomy.
That's all technically true. I think the question you AREN'T asking is the most important one - what if you're not trying to sustain a human, but simply lengthen the amount of time before cell death? If I recall my first aid training (and I do), even an extra 10 minutes can be the difference between brain damage and 100% recovery.
Yes, but this is the first time they've applied the "tick-tock" strategy without actually shipping the product.
I don't know. I can't cite a single example, but I doubt this is the case. It's probably more like that it's the first time they've applied the "tick-tock" strategy without shipping the product after making a big deal about the un-shipped product.
I personally see no value in this kind of master's degree if there is no need to write a thesis/dissertation.
So, course-based masters programs are of no value, huh? Tell that to the thousands of course-based masters grads.
it will eventually become accessible to only the upper class (as education always is).
A famous man once said, give a man a fish, he eats today and owes you a fish forever. But teach a man to fish, and he'll be competing with you for fish tomorrow.
Another famous man (pratchett) said - Make a man a fire, you keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire and you keep him warm for the rest of his life.
