"Wh-what does that mean? Is that some sort of rap thing?!"

Patrick F. Kennedy, an undersecretary for management at the State Department, said Abdulmutallab's visa wasn't taken away because intelligence officials asked his agency not to deny a visa to the suspected terrorist over concerns that a denial would've foiled a larger investigation into al-Qaida threats against the United States.Aha. Soso. Nee, klar. Das hat NICHTS damit zu tun, dass man innenpolitisch mal wieder einen Terroristen gebrauchen konnte.
Finally, in safety-critical software systems, changing the compiler often requires costly re-certification. Thus, we routinely see the use of decades-old compilers. While the languages these compilers accept have interesting features, strong concordance with a modern language standard is not one of them. Age begets new problems. Realistically, diagnosing a compiler's divergences requires having a copy of the compiler. How do you purchase a license for a compiler 20 versions old? Or whose company has gone out of business? Not through normal channels. We have literally resorted to buying copies off eBay.Admins und Programmierer werden an diesem Artikel ihre Freude haben :-)
Um ehrlich zu sein: das ist auch mein Gesamteindruck vom Feld Softwarearchitektur in der Industrie. Lauter Heißluftgebläse.
In der Forschung gibt es immerhin noch hie und da Aspekte, denen man Substanzreste nicht gänzlich absprechen kann.
Youngsters between the ages of 16 and 24 are being tempted into the scheme - and therefore onto the National Identity Register - with the prospect of being able to buy "alcohol, computer games and DVDs, going to the cinema or to a club."Oh und sie erwähnen natürlich auch nicht im Kleingedruckten, dass man dann lebenslang verpflichtet ist, seine Daten in der Datenbank up-to-date zu halten.Not to mention that other tempting offer - being able to travel to Europe.
Not surprisingly, the anti-ID card lobby is up in arms, pointing out that the government appears to be banking on the booze-fuddled, computer game-addled kids not consulting the small print of the ID card legislation.
Es ist ja erstaunlich, dass die das überhaupt als opt-in probieren und nicht einfach gesetzlich vorschreiben. Aber dafür gibt es noch zuviel Widerstand in der Bevölkerung, daher diese Methode.
Ich bin kein Kunde von Amex, und angesichts dieser grotesken Inkompetenz werde ich sicher auch keiner werden.
Lauschangriff abgewehrtOffensichtlich sind die immer noch der Meinung, das richtige getan zu haben. Meine Quelle versichert mir, dass die Kommafehler so aus dem Newsletter kommen.(BS)Nach Ankündigung einer anonymen Autonomen Zelle, sei auf dem letzten Kongress des Chaos Computer Clubs der Tagungsort des 13. Europäischen Polizeikongresses mit Abhöreinrichtungen bestückt worden. Ziel der Linksextremen war auch individuelle vertrauliche Gespräche zu belauschen. Spionage-Experten gelang es jedoch die Vertraulichkeit der Konferenz vollständig zu sichern. Ein Vertreter des Chaos Computer Clubs, der sich als Mitarbeiter eines Softwareunternehmens ausgab, wurde vom Veranstalter gebeten, seine Teilnahme nicht fortzusetzen, um Privatsphäre und die Vertraulichkeit des persönlichen Gesprächs gewährleisten zu können. 100 gewaltbereite Autonome demonstrierten gegen den Polizeikongress im dichten Schneetreiben.


It seems some people were offended or confused by Friday's comic. They felt that I was saying or implying that polyamory is somehow not as serious as monogamy, or that polyamorous folks don't enter into committed relationships, or something. That couldn't possibly be further from my intent!
What I was going for in that comic (and this one) is that the specific situation Tai finds herself in (casual physical relationships with people she cares about but doesn't necessarily LOVE) is unfulfilling for her personally, and she feels like she'd rather just have one person to focus on. In no way did I mean to imply that because Tai isn't happy, ALL polyamory is unfulfilling, or not serious, or anything of that sort.
Like Dora says in today's strip, relationships exist on a continuum, and there are many different kinds of relationship that different people consider "polyamory." You certainly can have a serious, committed, happy polyamorous relationship! You can also be more casually polyamorous, like Tai has been in the comic. Ain't no right or wrong, or inferior or superior, as long as everybody's being safe and honest.
One of the challenges of working in this medium is that intent and interpretation are two very different things. I thought it was obvious that I was writing about a specific situation, and not denigrating polyamory in any way, but some people felt otherwise. That means I didn't do a good enough job! The vast majority of you guys either had no problem with the strip or actively told me that it was fine! But that doesn't mean that the minority who were bothered by it don't deserve to have their concerns addressed, which is what I'm attempting to do.
I apologize if I've hurt any feelings or offended anyone, and will try to make my intent more clear in the future! I hope this clears things up.
See you tomorrow.
"There's not currently, nor is there likely to be, an impact on public health or safety or the environment," the NRC's Diane Screnci said in an interview. She had maintained previously that the Environmental Protection Agency drinking water safety limit of 20,000 picocuries per liter had an abundance of caution built into it.
Ich sehe da ja vor meinem geistigen Auge die Unternehmensberater-Schlipsträger die Spuren ihrer feuchten Träume wegwischen, als sie ausrechnen, wie viele Emails so verschickt werden, und wieviel Porto sie da für Nichtstun kassieren könnten!1!!
