Have you ever tried Microsoft Support (even if you have a fully paid up gold partnership agreement)? At best you'll get some low end support peon who doesn't know ass from elbow. At best you get denial. Then there's Microsoft

At the UCC in our local hospital, we get same-day blood work and imaging done and a call back from a doctor when the results come back in. Screw the GP's week lead time. It's about time we stopped funding their mismanagement if yo

The art of working though is to earn as much money as possible whilst doing the least amount of work. 60 hour a week people haven't got that idea yet.

Very true - this is still the case now. The added an "Urgent Care Centre" to our local hospital to absorb people coming in because their GP was overbooked. They're really good though to the point people just go down there str

What you choose to present is the problem. If you don't present all data then you're not providing an unbiased report. The meaning of the data is another matter and wholly subject to interpretation by scientists, pseudo-scientists

That's not strictly true. There are plenty of isolated genetic lines. This is a really big planet. Things like sickle-cell and neurofibromatosis are worth studying only 2-3 generations back as well for example.

You don't need to exclude social traits to get useful information but it does help objectivity. I assume your point is about the presentation of the facts rather than the facts themselves. Your second point is unfortunately the sad tru

I'm not new to HN. Rules are subject to interpretation . If it draws attention to the point then it is perfectly valid. In fact I think it's just here. When your point opposes religious thinking then you have to throw your toys o

This. It was more akin to religious thinking.

BSD is way more consistent, better documented and considerably less bloated.

If it's a fact, it's not racism. It's not personal. The fact that races diverged thousands of years ago suggest that they are genetically different through evolution. There's a lot to learn from genetic diversity rather

I quite like the current lot who don't give a shit myself. At least the law gets pushed over new frontiers then.

There's still time for Shuttleworth to get pissy yet.

Not really. We're mainly concerned that the interface is consistent. service ssh restart works fine but that was fine in sysvinit as well..

A browser is not a universal programming environment. Neither is a chroot on a ChromeOS device. How do you install openoffice on that chroot and start hacking on it?

That's just logical. Windows uses loose code signing. SmartScreen is the same sort of thing but you have to buy a more expensive code signing cert from VeriSign etc. You can self sign or run a CA on windows domains, even for metro apps

by d0 13y ago
The signing missing isn't a major effort. You can turn it off easily with spctl via ssh or allow an app for example. Same with windows domains if you have configured a root CA for your organisation. Even metro apps can be side loaded&#

Euros and dollars are backed by guns and ammunition, not the wealth of nations. A short peek at history will show you that.

I'm ok with this as long as there is always an alternative to retreat to if we need to. Even if it means throwing all my consumer electronics in the street.

"wealth" is subjective. For my father it's a Range Rover he can't afford but can show people. For me it's solving a problem (intellectual wealth). For him, it's the promise of exchanging some electronic fairy d

I'm not sure Apple and Microsoft fit that bill yet. They divide their empires into three separate concerns: walled garden consumer devices (phones, tablets), open enterprise/desktop and media. it's pretty easy to get into the

I'm not sure this will work wonderfully. As someone who tried to spend a big chunk of time sitting at a MacBook and using Windows via RDP, it's a royal PITA as the keyboard differences are pretty big and the mappings are unintuiti

Gotcha - thanks for the correction. Checked my sources and it was W^X they implemented at the same time as ProPolice and indeed it was IBM who built that.

Isn't this the same as what the OpenBSD guys added to their GCC fork? I think it was called ProPolice.

There is an issue with user switching and firewire/DMA that allows remote access as well as cold boot attacks but these are out of reach of most people.

Holidays are a turn key solution from experience. Even if its a weekend sleeping in a tent somewhere. I go like a machine after them for days.

by d0 13y ago
To be fair, I've had that trouble but I found out that I just wasn't happy doing what I was doing so changed it. You have to want to do it before focus comes naturally.

You dont need to do any of this. Walking away from a problem and doing something else ends up in faster more elegant solutions every time than avoiding distractions on the machine. I'll tap out a tune on my piano, play with the kids or
