Comment Re:Change the dosage without changing looks... (Score 2) 64
I work with elder mentally disabled patients and chances in medication can be quite stressful for them. "I ALWAYS have two of those pills, why do I need to take three pills now?" or "This does not look like the medication I usually get, I don't trust this, I'm not taking this!"
It confuses them and at times it can be quite a struggle to get them accustomed to a new medication schedule. So I can see the advantage of changing the dose without changing the appearance or quantity of the pills.
However, even though that can be very annoying I'm more worried about me being able to quick and clearly tell the difference in pills and dosage.....

I'm sorry but if your wife is divorcing you because of a mis-tagged photo on Facebook then either:
A: She is (in my opinion) doing you a favor by getting the hell out of your life.
B: You two had a lot more problems already and this was just the final drop.
Either way, if one photo can ruin your marriage the marriage was ment to be anyway. Personally I don't think this ruined your life (maybee it feels that way now) but it's made your life a lot better.

In my opinion the US skaters are just looking for a scapegoat. The truth is much simpler, us Dutchies are completely and utterly dominating the speed-skating competition at the Olympics.
A good suit is vs a bad suit just gives you a very very marginal advantage, the rest is training and professionalism. It's not just the US that is being squashed right now, each and every country competing in speedskating is getting a good ass-kicking.

That, and I also imagine there are separate systems for the rovers main controls and for the "work"-tasks it has to do over there.
Since they issue about a 1000 commands *each day!* it seems to me that those commands go to a sort of sandboxed environment on the rover to ensure that a relatively "simple" command like "focus camera C on that rock to the right" can never cause major malfunctions to the main system on the rover itself.
