Re: >> Antibiotics for flu?
Dr Brown Bear was told not to give Peppa Pig any more antibiotics, and within a week, she was cured.

I don't know... my ex-wife insisted on having antibiotics whenever she had flu/cold/virus because once upon a time when she was a teenager she was prescribed some and it worked.
Every time I would insist she didn't go to the doctor for antibiotics, she would hold off a day or two then sneak over there when I was at work, insist on antibiotics (we must have had such a weak willed GP or she wore them down), then the next day after starting a course would be getting better and cured within 48 hours.
This, apparently, was proof that antibiotics cured viruses and that I, and the rest of medical science, were idiots.
We are now divorced. I cited unreasonable behaviour in the papers; not doing what she was told to by her husband mental and physical cruelty.
Oh, cheers! I have now been and read about Chekov's gun.
I was reading it thinking "Chekov's Law of foreshadowing in drama and acting??? Do they mean this? But Chekov doesn't even so much as exchange a glance with Sulu during that bit... How can that foreshadow what happened to him?"
though I was expecting a little more along the lines of "we're about to get medieval on your rack..."
You know the sort of thing... 4 post, binding to the lifting eyelets at the top and the floor-beam locating pins at the bottom, sealed cabinetry, acoustic baffling, some ancient GPU loaded rack mounted PC with quad FX 9590 processors and a slew of GTX480s at the bottom running audio recognition tasks on the feed from an in-rack audio pickup - the louder you scream the harder they work, a Redetec top-of-rack FPS for good measure. All plugged into either the demo PDU or the shipped PDU; are you feeling lucky, punk? Well, are you?
these bastions of free market economy, whom one might have expected to understand how these forces work, neglected to consider that selling advertising space on websites would mean that as prices fell, volume would have to go up to maintain a steady revenue. This means that whilst your local rag sheet would once upon a time have displayed 3 or 4 discrete adverts off to one side on a page whose aesthetics were largely determined by readability and elegance, to generate the same revenue today, they have to have whole page pop-unders, with 30 or 40 smaller adverts, a cacophony of higher charged rolling video ads and metrics-for-sale.
So the only answer is to reduce the availability of advertising somewhere along the supply chain. I propose we, err, burn down all the advertising agencies. Sounds like a sensible move, fiscally speaking.
latency and consistency.
My ping varies between 7ms and 200ms. Speed, I'm getting 112Mbps on a 100Mbps contract, so I'm happy with that.
Internally, my network runs at 10Gbps between the media server and the distribution switch. I've no other devices that can do that kind of speed! But this is very exciting. Especially seeing as my workplace can't seem to manage WAN access over 10Gbps for 1000s of people to share.
I think so. It sounds positively primitive when compared with Pure Flashblade. Except the compute in Pure is primarily for running the storage. If this idea starts to show promise, they can expect fierce competition, I think. FTL is a technology that's reached the end of rational development.

You want a more detailed quote for cover, you fill in a form asking for name, age, address, email, phone etc then it gives you three squares "We may contact you in the following ways: email, phone, post".
But they are just little boxes that turn blue or white when you click on them. No checkbox. The rules are that they can't "pre-select" opt-in to marketing. So the un-selected boxes (presumably) are bold and blue and stand out and look like they are selected. The SELECTED (presumably) boxes are white, flat, less bold, and look like inactive buttons.
This is the sort of shit we've got to look forwards to?
Spank that beagle.
Even if he's completely innocent and passes no classified substances out of his pooper, the police could still do him for aiding and abetting the supply of illegally obtained cryptocurrency.
Those of you hitting thumbs down... why, exactly?
I find the advert contemptible; it presents an unrealistic male body image, portrays these women as fixated on appearance, is overtly sexual in nature and if the sexes of the participants had been the other way around would have never even been aired. Not that perfume adverts ever seem to make any sense; they sell you the image of course; Johnny Depp with a shovel in the sweltering desert heat next to a road and a dead animal isn't a fragrance I'd think would be too popular, nor is essence of wet tiger, or eau du battleship.
I posted a link as some people don't seem to have seen it.
