What tripe. Heart surgeons? Structural engineers? You sound like a cliche machine. Please, find me an example of this fantasy. Spend the tokens, bitch.

When I registered for college, during the orientation they said that pre-meds are the group most frequently caught cheating.

Money is a big motivator. And not always for the good.

Submission + - About that DC terror plot

An anonymous reader writes: How come this disappeared from the news so fast? When I search for updates on the story all I can find is repeats of the week-old stories of five arrests, and some mentions that their trial may be held outside DC.

What about the other score or so of conspirators they were looking for? Are they still on the lam? Have the drones and explosives been found?

I've been laughing at people who claim that the assassination attempts were fake, but this is really out of bandwidth. Was there really a plot, or was it just some Stupids talking large on the internet?

That makes complete sense

It does. One thing I noticed back in the day during the big switcheroo is that my Arch laptop (eee 900) started to boot slower when systemd came in. Maybe they fixed that now, this was a while ago but it did not live up to the hype and even its own rationale in that regard originally.

So I'm not saying the reasons behind systemd were poor, but the implementation left something to be desired, it was quite buggy originally (it's mostly been beaten into shape), and quite a lot of it is just really mediocre and opinionated.

Does it work? Mostly. Does it do some stuff that was painful under sysv? Sure. It is good software? Not really.

What is this devilry?

Never seen one before! Is that basically a filter coffee thing with the filter around all sides for convenience?

My main filter (it's the one at work) is one of these:

It takes a rather large paper filter. Less convenient for one cup, but it'll crank out 12, and keep them warm while cranking out 12 more.

Lower cost but not lower risk.

Why are people so I'm live with it? It's worked pretty well so far. Turns out global warming is the massive elephant in the room and will be fast now destructive than all the nuclear accidents including Chernobyl, the weapons ones and everything put together times 100. And all the major economies with lower carbon footprints have substantial nuclear energy in the mix.

Germany is the worst of all the comparable European states.

They are the worst in terms of absolute numbers and the worst in terms of improvement.

What they appear to have is a very good PR campaign based on unrealised future promises.

Is the future nuclear? Probably not too a major extent but to dismiss the efficacy up to now you kind of have to dismiss carbon dioxide as a big problem.
