With the missing hyphen, we'd better understand it's for scalding water. It just became less cool to write all the symbols required.

a custodial sentence.

That's the true choice here: we allow someone to end it cleanly, or we must accept they'll end their own life messily and brutally.

You can't get organ donations from a OD or a traumatic impact.

Not to people.

Seems it was heading away from America though.

That money, and all those who volunteered by protesting - after all, forcing a solution they weren't willing to take part in would be hypocritical and they're good people, right? - they'll have more than enough resources to get searching through the rotted muck looking for corpses.

Good luck!

There is no such thing as a good landlord.

Careful with the generalities -- they do us no good. I know a good landlord, as well as a good cop, and it's not as rare as you may think. We could see a thousand good landlords or good cops and forget them, but news about a bad landlord and somewhere we shouldn't live (ohai shelter) or learn about a bad cop and thus where our safety is affected (ohai security), and the threat to our basic needs makes that all-important.

Having said that, this guy is scum. And I really wish we had enough options that we could all avoid people like that.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which blasts apart rock with high pressure streams of water, sand and chemicals, has made Fox Creek one of the most seismically active areas in the province.

Love this. I love how fucking natural gas extraction has fucked with the only good thing ABOUT northern Alberta, in that while it's cold, dirty, flat, dry, brown, bingeing on the resource tit and thus Very Albertan, at least it's got no earthquakes. Alberta's addiction to crude and dirty resource income has now given the people of Fox Creek earthquakes.

I'm sure there was more, here, but this bit really fed into the bias grown from living in Calgary and High River for 8 years.

Read some Cringely. IBM is at a tipping point and needs to stop processing acquisitions while it has some momentum left.

cacheing

It's "caching". Spell-check was right again.

the whole thing shouldn't have come down as easy as it did

Like jet fuel to a steel beam?

(Is it too soon if I was an eyewitness?)

Literall--

DOWNVOTE.

Years ago I derived a flash with vtun on it. It's so old, now, but vtun still goes and connects. And since it's not systemd, it'll keep hammering at the connection until it succeeds.

So these old routers are still out there, and when a soho site is sick and we can't get in we instruct someone to plug in the blue box and it calls out for help.

It's so ghetto but, in places like the southern states where rural power outages can outlast generator time, it has cut down our time to recovery tremendously.

Tell me your distro didn't test dependencies properly without using those words.

I don't have kids and I take the train. I still pay taxes to build schools and roads because I know we're going to need SOME of them one day. While I am hugely biased toward the idea of massively-dense islands of housing and services, to cut down on maintenance (and use of) roads, keeping transportation medium and education targets and goals in the hands of voters - an idea that is only barely better than every alternative - allows for direction and guidance later (through voting).

We fund the things we need to keep within our control, should we ever wake up and exert that control.

So us security/enterprise types hate it AND packagers hate it?

We'll have all of you back building 12 different package formats in no time!

Overwhelmingly, this is not how hoarding cases pan out, I'd suggest.

looking at how people abuse it with 32+ pills at once

Careful about the survivor bias, there.

I've found that big projects need refactoring without replacement, as Joel says. Bind and sudo and even sendmail have value in this world (the latter for versatility) that cannot be easily replicated without massive cost and decades of maintenance amid real attacks.

But yeah, trivial stuff can be rewritten and exhaustively tested at occasionally a cheaper cost where it can provide value to the enterprise that will one day out-balance its rebuild cost.

You may know it as Mozilla, the namesake project that Mozilla (the company) felt was too hard a raison-d'etre to maintain and, yet, still exists. If you ever hear of Mozilla the org refered to as MINO, it's because they couldn't even continue their you-have-one-purpose task.

Unleash the downvotes, ye dissonants.
