Where is Ivernectin listed as a "safe and mildly effective drug for Covid-19"? The closest I can find (from a source that would previously said it wasn't) is "Ivermectin has been shown to inhibit replication of SARS-CoV-2 in cell cultures. However, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies suggest that achieving the plasma concentrations necessary for the antiviral efficacy detected in vitro would require administration of doses up to 100-fold higher than those approved for use in humans." and that goes on to say it is not recommended and points to several studies that found no benefit for human subjects.

Which would all be true still if people hadn't just spent 2 years doing some jobs without "going" to work. In some cases with no drop in productivity, in others a rise in productivity. Now they have data that shows the 2 hours of commute time and gas expense does nothing to help the company, and they already know what damage it does to their own lives.
  Convincing them that casual Friday is an important factor in their job to satisfy the desires of the "management by walking around" sector and the extroverts who crave interaction at work is a hard sell. Obviously many jobs MUST be onsite, but telling people they have to come back to work when they know they can do the job from home is now asking them to take a pay cut for literally no benefit, so they seek employment were management is more reasonable.

Oops wrong thread, apologies.

Please let me know where Biden admitted on tape to Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress. Assuming of course you didn't mean the second impeachment and the charge of Incitement of Insurrection.

Just because we let you cut the lawn doesn't make it yours sonny. :)

The whole reason I can't stand using KDE is the delay in the panel, and from the video it doesn't look like it has gone away. KDE looks nice, has some great features, good technology everywhere, but watching that little block lag behind my mouse so badly makes me insane.

I would like to see some reference links to back these assertions up. To my knowledge no U.S. Senators are Muslims for one, Keith Ellison is a member of the House of Representatives and I can't find any reference to a bombing attempt against his office. Blah, blah, liberal media, blah, but I would have thought proven allegations of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil would have gotten a tiny bit of coverage. That being said I agree that Netanyahu probably should have thought twice before fully endorsing a canidate in a presidential race everyone but Fox News viewers knew to be a very tight contest and that Romney, at best, had a 45% chance of winning.

Whether you love or hate Microsoft or opensource, DO NOT get an in house solution unless you plan on growing a real IT department. Google Apps, Office 365, hosted mail or Exchange from intermedia or Rackspace, hosted Zimbra, Citadel, zarafa, whatever, do not go with an in-house setup for the email or collaboration. You will be switching to software as a service within 3 years anyway without a real IT staff. No solution mentioned by any of the posters will work long term in house without dedicated support.

Hyperion Entertainment announced that they will be launching a new media campaign for the Amiga line staring their new mascot, Biggie Bigfoot. No word on where they will be appearing, but Hyperion gives their assurances that the ads do indeed exist.

And if Grandma wants to switch the button layout in MS Windows or OSX? How would you talk her through that? I am not fond of the change in ubuntu either, but it is only a big deal to people who expect them to be on the other side. So if you are saying your Grandma is already used to MS Windows, then just get her a MS Windows machine. If you are saying this is easier in Windows, then I think you are just wrong.

Can you implement the H.264 spec in hardware or software and sell the result without paying fees or being a member of a license pool? Because I think you can use C++ or ODF without additional requirements/costs. Is a spec open if you can't use it without doing something beside implementing the spec correctly?

Agreed, but I think this is a fairly clueless move. If I can use google tv to sit down on the couch and watch 5 hours of The Event hulu or the network website because I didn't set a dvr to record it, at least I watch the commercials they sell. Take that option away and I fire up bittorrent the night before to download 5 episodes, commercial free. Something or nothing people, the world is changing and your margins may shrink, but there is still profit to be had.

I almost agree with the premise of the article, just based on the fact that I think the DESKTOP is dying. Between phones and tablets I expect typical Desktop OS installations to become the minority in less than 5 years, though the desktop will live on in business, which doesn't leave time for Linux to "catch up", it will just be a player in a new game.

I think you will find there are a number of legal systems that don't require a professional. Tribal and religious courts that are older than most nations have long existed for the same purposes and require only an understanding of the mores, traditions and yes, Laws of a particular group. A person who is more experienced in dealing with these courts may have a better chance of success but I don't think you would be able to call many of them "specialized professionals". It is only when the Law of a group or nation has grown so byzantine that it almost impossible to live a life without violating some aspect of it that you will find the necessity for a professional group to manage the complexity. In many "modern" sovereign states it has become common to pass laws with thousands of pages that have never been reviewed or considered as a whole. New laws often flagrantly and purposely contradict existing laws. Some are passed with the sole intention of having an excuse to stop and detain people when it is convenient, some are passed for political gain, and some are passed for reasons known only to the few people who secreted them away in an omnibus of unrelated legislation.The fact that modern law is so incomprehensible to the laity is a testament to it's dysfunction, not a justification of its existence. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, but when law itself has become so incomprehensible that even attorneys and judges can scarcely decipher its intent with regard to the common, good can any of us claim we are not ignorant?
