This is the same buggy piece of crap that led to root exploit on many Android phones, since of course a media player needs privileged access to the kernel.

Now, before I write the rest of this, let me point out this comment I made earlier. I know full well that people, especially the media, lie about Trump and what he says a lot. They do misrepresent what he says. My dislike of him is - as far as I know - not based on those lies.

Wanting to ban Muslims from entering the country simply on the basis of their religion is pretty awful. That's listed on his website, so I hope you find that an acceptable source. It actually helps ISIS by giving them extra recruiting material - they love seeing blanket anti-Muslim statements, it gets them fighters and support. We can and should reject Islamism, but we should do it without blaming all Muslims, as well as without claiming it has nothing to do with Islam - Maajid Nawaz has an excellent article here.

His stance on NAFTA and free trade in general is not supported by most economists. He has no coherent economic worldview. He, for some reason, thinks a trade deficit is automatically a bad thing (see previous link to his website). On this page he claims he can "Reclaim millions of American jobs and reviving American manufacturing by putting an end to China’s illegal export subsidies and lax labor and environmental standards." How, exactly, he is going to change China's environmental standards is left to the reader. His plan to lower the corporate tax rate to 15% is potentially bad; it depends on how that's implemented.

Not something I find "particularly disagreeable", but merely baffling - "Crime— Homicides last year increased by 17 percent in America’s fifty largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. More than 2,000 have been shot in Chicago since January of this year alone. Donald Trump is the law and order candidate in this Presidential race." (under Section 5, titled "Other Reforms") - how does he plan on reforming "crime", in general?

And, of course, there's his ridiculous wall idea. Seizing the remittances earned by people working here is very disagreeable to me; that's effectively a large tax on people who are, generally, low income. That combined with the fact that a wall is unlikely to meaningfully impact illegal immigration make it a really bad idea.

Oh, and how could we forget that he wants to kill the families of terrorists. Killing someone just because they're related to someone else is never okay, especially if you intentionally make a policy out of it.

He wants to put ground troops in Syria to fight ISIS. America does not need another ground war, especially one that is so politically risky.

He also pledged to crack down on internet porn. Now,

It was pretty good with a 64040 (NeXTstation Turbo), I mean snappy, even in color. Always been critical of the performance of OS X when I remember that a 68030 with 16MB RAM did a decent job with NeXTStep, and a 68040 with 32MB RAM was damn whippy.

Nonetheless, NeXTStep 3.3 did run on PA-RISC and SPARC, and successor OpenStep continued to support SPARC (but PA-RISC was dropped for some reason). BTW, you mentioned capitalization? It's NeXTStep (the "e" is a little "e", but the "step" might be anything).

I used Jobs' sleek black NeXT computers for years, and they were a joy to work and program on. For users, they offered all the stability and multi-tasking capability of Unix, but with a decent, UI and a fantastic free development environment, back when NT was in its infancy, the best Unix had was Motif (ick), and Windows 3.1 couldn't really handle things like real-time feeds or database servers or really large dynamic spreadsheets, or even large-screen displays. I truly thought NeXT was the future at the time, but Jobs couldn't crank them out fast or cheap enough, and rumors of NT encouraged people to just sit tight until Bill would make the world safe for cheap Intel PC's.

Dude, you've had years. All video streaming platforms have been transitioning to HTML5 for the last few years. YouTube started their transition to HTML5 over 6 years ago and switched to HTML5 by default 18 months ago.

Such a simple solution to that problem, that *not* doing it makes them look incompetent.

Incompetence at large scale is indistinguishable from malice in the outcome. Insiders should be suspect in such a clear case of fucking up.

He went to climate scientist James Annan to hedge his bet. Annan was willing to give odds of 5 to 1 against 2015 being cooler than 2008. So while the economist put only his reputation on the line, the scientist was extremely confident, and rightly so.

So what does the scientist know that the advisers to the GWPF don't (but probably ought to considering that the think tank they advise has "global warming" in the title)?

I checked out the second article and followed the sources. The root source was http://ufosightingshotspot.blo.... What a crock.

And from the first article you linked to: "one scientist's controversial theory" That says it all. If it had merit, other scientists would follow up.

The people who SHOULD be embarassed are the ones yelling "hoax" and screaming "government grants" and "government conspiracy", while ignoring the largest and biggest financial interests, oil and gas. Unfortunately, in a country where Donald Trump can be a presidential contender, who knows. When the denial finally ends, they'll probably just blame Obama like they do for everything else.

what control group are they using to show what would have happened had we not been here?

Ah yes, if only scientists had created a control planet before the industrial revolution so we could compare what the effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration by 33% is, oh well guess we can't do anything about it because we're only 90+ percent sure not 110% percent sure. Also fossil fuel exhaustion and pollution, well those don't matter either!

As I understood it, the juice will still be legal to sell so long as it goes through an FDA approval for each Nic level of the juice, supplied in glass bottles, and is sealed. Besides how much money it would cost for the testing, this is pretty much a non issue, and plenty in the industry say is a good way to knock out the shady suppliers and manufacturers.

Your understanding is either wrong, or informed by what the FDA is saying about it, which any quick analysis proves completely faulty. There is a good analysis of the deeming rule and the requirements that give lie to the idea that it's a "non issue", and instead will put most companies out of business. In fact, the FDA acknowledges that plenty of businesses will fold, but they minimize the numbers. There is a thorough analysis of the rule and its implications over at the Tobacco Analysis blog.

Where did it ever say that non-nicotine flavorings are being deemed a tobacco product?

They don't really give a yes or no answer to this, but most people interpret the rule to say it DOES include those things. For instance, from the FDA:

Establishments, such as vape shops, that mix and/or prepare combinations of liquid nicotine, flavors, and/or other liquids, or an establishment that creates or modifies an aerosolizing apparatus for sale to consumers would be considered a tobacco product manufacturer.

As it relates to e-liquids that contain zero nicotine, generally, if your zero-nicotine product is not made or derived from tobacco, it may still be a tobacco product subject to FDA regulation if it is intended or reasonably expected to be used with or for the human consumption of a tobacco product; or intended or reasonably expected to alter the performance, composition, constituents, or characteristics of a tobacco product (with certain exceptions relating to controlling moisture or temperature for storage and initiating external heat source), your product is subject to FDA regulation.

Emphasis mine. Also note that if it's "vape juice", since all vaporizer devices and components have also been deemed "tobacco products", anything sold to be vapped WILL be deemed a "tobacco product."

Its just a flavor extract in PG or VG... If its true, this is also the exact reason why most people are fighting against the regulations. While some would be good, coming down with an iron fist like this and crippling an industry is just terrible.

Right. I agree.

Back to buying shit from the Philippines like I had to back in the day when I wanted a new mod or atty. I just hope they don't regulate the purchase of pure nicotine powder or diluted nicotine liquid so I can at least home brew my juice.

The FDA has a reputation for raiding shipments from foreign countries that they think might contain regulated products, so you may have difficulty there, unless you have your own channel.

According to the new rule, all adjuncts are being declared "tobacco products". So, while it's likely the nicotine powder will still be available (suppliers are exempt), if you're mixing you become a "manufacturer" of a "tobacco product" and are subject to the regulations (obviously that only for resellers), but since the non-nicotine flavorings are being deemed "tobacco product" because they can "reasonably be expected to be used with tobacco-derived products", those will be regulated. Not sure if even nicotine-free vape juice will be available, but it sounds like probably not.

White Helmet's hospital, and its "doctors"!

1) The "NGO" organization, like SOHR, etc. are in fact openly anti-Assad.

2) White Helmet has history of fabrications. This organization was posted photos of killed children by Russian BEFORE they started bombing.

3) The videos on TheGuardian and TheStar posted by other below showed hospital, doctor and several men in military uniforms.
In fact, the man in the last minute of of the video (theguardian) is Muawiya Hassan Agha, a rebel in White Helmet uniform.

Remind me group linked with FSA (aka Moderate Rebel), in the region controlled by FSA, the group, this week its members beheaded 12-yo Palestine boy for alleged support Assad.
The man who beheaded the boy, killed this week, and was in a hospital.

It's great until your bed suffocates you or your fridge freezes you almost to death.

As a side note, it never ceases to amaze me how stupid ads look (maybe I don't watch enough of them to stop noticing such things). The girl wakes up in her bed with full make up, her hair is done, fake eyelashes, etc. Everything is sterile and perfectly clean and wrinkle free. Who lives like that?

There were awful miniatures and there were awful matte paintings. Today there is awful CG.

For every 2001 there was a 2000 and 2 buck rogers from the 30th centuries with shoddy miniature work. Today for every rushed CG shot in a film there were 3,000 you didn't even realize were CG because they were perfect.

Every time someone whines about the quality of a CG shot I remind them of what things used to look like:

Big fan of the UBI, and yet I think this guy's not entirely wrong. People talk about phase-in's like "we start with $5,000 for everybody, then ramp up year over year by x dollars. This guy is saying something more, I think, like start with a livable amount for the very poor, and work your way up the income ladder. Think it'll peter out before it gets to the rich? You don't know any rich folks, do you? Wealth trickles up, anyhow ...

I think that the real problem, for democracies, is the long term nature of this. No democracy can plan more than an election cycle ahead. China, on the other hand, may be able to do this.

I said that greenhouses work by suppressing convection, and you reply by showing an image of using plastic to suppress convection. Thanks.

And you ignore my comment about how the thermal inertia of the tree is irrelevant in comparison to the heat loss rate. Do I need to show you the mass? The tree will in minutes equalize to the temperature of the outside air. The only difference the plastic provides is blocking radiative exchange.

If you'd rather, maybe you'd prefer, say, this picture ? Or this, or this, or this? How well do you think this blocks convection? It has holes in it. Floating row covers are designed specifically to extend growing seasons by blocking radiant exchange without hindering plant respiration. What do you want, books covering the subject?

I'll reiterate: most frost occurs at temperatures above freezing

The graphics chip in the TI-99/4A, ColecoVision, and SG-1000 was TI's TMS9918. The Tandy Color Computer (CoCo) had a different, less capable one: the Motorola MC6847. In high-resolution mode, the MC6847's graphics were conceptually similar to those of the Apple II: essentially bit-banging an NTSC signal through a frame buffer and relying on composite artifact colors. Compare CoCo graphics to the same game on the Apple II. You might have been thinking of the MSX computer, which also used a TMS9918.

The video chips in the Sega Master System and Sega Genesis are direct descendants of TMS9918, and the NES Picture Processing Unit (PPU) is a blend of TMS9918 concepts (especially searching for sprites in a larger display list that intersect the current scanline) and the background attribute method from the Radar Scope/Donkey Kong video hardware.

Ask and ye shall receive. Here's a meta-review of some of the best and biggest studies comparing vegetarians to health-conscious omnivores. Almost all studies showed a longevity benefit, and pooled they found a significant longevity beneift. This is a nice plot of the risk ratio as the study data is cumulatively pooled.

It goes without saying that this field of research is tricky -- evidence is never iron-clad and you can always find a study or two to support your biases. But, as a medical student and someone interested in nutrition, I'll go out on a limb and say that there is no diet except the Mediterranean diet that has so much supportive evidence of health benefits. (Prove me wrong!) But in any case, this should be enough to at least stop the FUD about vegetarianism causing everything from diabetes to psychosis as per above. It's at least not causing harm.

Now, the question is -- will bacon-loving Slashdot rejoice that a citation request was answered, or continue on with the usual group-think?

The study you quote is looking at "low meat consumption", not "no meat consumption". But generally vegatarian diets are not problematic, like a normal diet it just requires variation and good eating habits. The problem is veganism, which is getting really popular despite being very unhealthy.

This ignores the unspoken policy that traffic stops are not always about enforcing traffic law and collecting small fines, but rather the police want that interaction with the driver so they can fish for bigger violations. Traffic stops are "pretext stops", a loophole to get around the 4th amendment.

Running your plate and taking your ID isn't about making sure they assign points to the right person, but also about looking for wants and warrants. Getting you to roll down the window and talk to the officer isn't really about checking whether you smell like booze or pot, or seem nervous. There is no right to remain silent when an automobile is involved., and traffic stops are one of the most productive ways to find and arrest people with outstanding warrants.

Here ya go, politics as science.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Any system designed to detect and respond to vehicles or objects in your path MUST BE ABLE TO DETECT ALL SOLID OBJECTS DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF ANY PART OF THE CAR, period! To do otherwise is irresponsible, dangerous, and just plain stupid! There have been multiple "accidents" like this already, luckily none had been fatal until this one, but there will be more to come unless Tesla (or, more likely the NTSB, since Tesla is all about denying and covering up flaws and blaming the victims at this point) puts an end to it.

If you're too fricking cheap to put another sensor on the roof, or too focused on "design" to allow it because you think it won't be pretty enough, you are WRONG!

That's why other manufacturers put more sensors on their cars and STILL do not make the same bold claims as Tesla. They know that otherwise stupid people will make stupid decisions.

I believe that the food itself is probably OK for human consumption although GMO food (especially tomatoes) does seem to have much less and/or odd flavour.

You have never tasted a GMO tomato. This blog post discusses some of the biology of why tomatoes taste the way they do. No genetic engineering has been involved.

I think the biggest risk about GMO food is oddly overlooked, and that is that it will lead to a varietal monoculture controlled by a single company (Monsanto). Do you really want a single corporate with their thumb on all corn production for example? Do you really want to loose your choices of different varieties of things?

If Monsanto is your problem, focus on them and not the red-herring that is the GMOs themselves. There are multiple large companies making independent corn varieties. They know about the need for genetic diversity and are constantly developing strains to better compete against the other players and produce well for the farmers.

IANAL, but almost none of the original series or movies used "officially licensed" uniforms or props.

Yeah...there's a reason you're not a lawyer. When you're creating things for the series, you're officially licensed.

As an aside, Gene Roddenberry was certainly not above making a quick buck off of "officially licensed" Star Trek items.

The only other logical option is revise the requirement so that people trying to make a believable fan fiction are allowed to use self-made articles of, unquestionably, higher quality than the mass produced garbage and NOT SELL THEM.

If you RTFA, it says:

If the fan production uses commercially-available Star Trek uniforms, accessories, toys and props [emphasis mine], these items must be official merchandise and not bootleg items or imitations of such commercially available products.

So if you buy uniforms or props off the rack, they need to be official. If you build your own, you're perfectly fine.

You must be blind. elementary OS uses more colours than Peppermint and is much easier to look at.

Peppermint looks like a copy of the Windows "flat" look mixed with XP style garishness. The rainbow buttons, the ugly logo and font for the start menu, the very poorly made icons, the poor colour choices and the poor font face and size choices. Nothing looks cohesive, it just looks like a patchwork of disparate ideas made by someone who isn't a graphics artist.

Just look at them side by side. You are insane if you think Peppermint looks professionally made.

Why the hell would they want to destroy Linux from within?

Who says they want to? I've seen plenty of stupid decisions made because someone who was a good talker or was shagging the PM supported them. And even that person might not actually want the outcome; they might be too fucking thick to realise what the consequences are.
