Comment Re:P as in Personal as in Affordable ? (Score 0) 77

The P in PC means Personal which means affordable for the average man.

Not exactly. Personal originally meant "not shared with another person". Originally, it meant a computer only you have access to, only you install and run software, and only you store and retrieve data.

Apparently, you have never installed Nagios. Back in the days, when you ran the install script, it wrote out what it was doing, and then suddenly the lines appeared:

Searching for credit card information...

Sending credit card information to [...]

Just kidding!

It was the same warning to you to vet any code before executing it.

I predict the same for the enhanced games. There is not much to win for competitors in the games outside the event. Except for some sellers of questionable supplements, there are probably not many wanting to advertise with steroid-pumped up people, and there are not many other events they can start in. They have to earn all their money with the enhanced games. That means you only get second-level people competing, which will turn the show into some kind of Survivor set on a track and field court.

The article even mentioned the relationship. When laminar flow turns into turbulent flow, aerodynamic drag increases. Turbulent flow in turn is what we hear as noise. You can also reason that noise is acoustic energy, and that noise is a parasitic load on the action we want the fan to do: moving air from one side to the other side.

Doping was done under medical supervision before. It still was not safe. Florence Griffith-Joyner and Marco Pantani both were doped in hospitals, and Eufemanio Fuentes was a physician whose speciality was doping. Being from Europe, I know more of the European side of doping, including the death of Birgit Dressel, who was a patient of University teacher Armin Kluemper.

Also, weren't you one of the geniuses here on /. telling us that Trump would keep us out of wars? How is that one going?

Oh, but these are *preventative* wars. He gets a peace prize for every country he invades!

Venezuela was using fentanyl as a WMD. Iran was about to nuke us. Cuba might attack us with drones if someone provides them. Greenland might start a snowball fight, and make us look bad if we lose.

Presumably we've got all our best people on this, since they're obviously not on the UFO videos.
