These hospitals have only been deliberately attacked since the Russian air force arrived and since the U.S. is nowhere near where these attacks are taking place the only logical, unalterable conclusion is Russia is deliberately bombing hospitals.

Okay Russian trolls?

They won't, of course. But it's still theoretically possible. In some other universe where criminals get charged for their crimes.

Fortunately in this universe that decision is left up to legal authorities instead of lynch mobs.

Clinton isn't a completely unique situation, the closest examples seem to be Alberto Gonzales, John O'Neill, and Bryan Nishimura. All three removing classifier material, Gonzales and O'Neill weren't charged and Nishimura got 2 years probation.

All three involved no intent to distribute to unauthorized parties. Gonzales and O'Neill were essentially careless while Nishimua was deliberate.

I see Clinton as belonging with Gonzales and O'Neill, all three mishandled docs while performing their official duties and non attempted to expose the docs on purpose.

Nishimua is the only one who was deliberately taking docs out of classified systems, and he only got 2 years probation.

Given those precedents the decision not to prosecute seems quite defensible.

It's also kinda funny how I can barely remember hearing a peep about Gonzales when he arguably had more intent to break the law than Clinton. There's no evidence that Clinton was trying to send classified info on her mail server, but Gonzales, the Attorney General, clearly knew he had classified info when he carried it in his briefcase and took it home.

It is always evil, but no one other than Black men have done it in recent memory.

Blackouts and brownouts hurt revenues for everyone.

I sure wish that were true. The links I provided say otherwise. We live under a system where the only failure is getting caught. The facts of this will come out in time, just like before. I don't know why you won't acknowledge that corruption is the sole cause of this problem and every other shortage we suffer, food, fuel, banking, all of it. It is a truly massive problem. And here people want to babble on about "supply and demand" as if it actually means something. The evidence shows exactly the opposite. This isn't a classroom here, the theories do not apply.

How true.

How does finding a single example or even a handful refute my point that almost no one is that heavy.

Because I've seen people who are heavier than me on public transit. I take up a single seat on the bus. These people take up two or three seats in the handicap area.

Here's another example: 5,000 super-sized people per year are denied access to medical helicopters because their weight.

I don't expect it changes the overall rates that much, simply due to homosexuals being a small minority of the total population, but I remember one report that found that homosexual women were significantly more likely to be overweight as heterosexual women and homosexual men were significantly less likely to be overweight than heterosexual men. I don't know if the researchers had any idea why this occurs, but it's kind of interesting.

Yes, the church did some horrible things throughout history,

They still are:

One case, and another, and a few more, and a few more, just for good measure. Even down under boys aren't safe. Nor are dogs.

Even the UN called out the Vatican for its systemic adoption of policies allowing priests to rape and sexually abuse tens of thousands of children.

But as always, these are just isolated cases.

You sure it wasn't simply a NYTimes article that passed through the wrong set of hands and ended up being Classified as due course?

Emails from Hillary Clinton's home server contained information classified at levels higher than previously known, including a level meant to protect some of the most sensitive U.S. intelligence, according to a document obtained by NBC News.

He didn't make it simply by Daddy's money.

He has less money today that he would if he'd invested his inheritance in a S&P 500 mutual fund. Beating the S&P 500 is pretty much THE standard for an investment. If you can't do that, you are wasting time and money. Face it, he's just a rich guy playing with what his daddy left him.

I was in the building trades and he was very well liked by both union men (which I was) and professional men (which I became).

...while building with illegal immigrant labor.

Do not take this as me being a Donald Trump supporter for his presidential run

When you are defending him against 100% correct charges, you call it what you will, and we will call it what we will.

Let's all be reminded that not wanting to pay for millions of illegal immigrants' welfare, food stamps, school, college, and medical bills is officially an extremist position by our current government, who is currently doing their best to remove the word 'illegal' from all official government documents.

Since when is Trump not a business leader who personally benefits from unbridled immigration? http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us... https://www.vice.com/read/vice...

I pretty much agree with everything you said. You seem like you might be interesting to talk to, so I'm going to express the opposing view on one point and I'd like to get your response.

I have no problem with the government having secrets, and I have no problem with secret lists. It's pretty-much expected that criminal investigation has to be done with a measure of secrecy in order to succeed. Terrorism is criminal behaviour, so having a list of suspected terrorists is also not a problem.

The problem arises when there are restrictions without due process.

Saying that someone is prevented from flying, for instance, should be done using due process. It should be evidence presented to the judicial side, and the defendant should be able to respond and object.

Killing a citizen, for instance, should not be the result of a secret list(*).

Disallowing a citizen to come home should not be the result of a secret list.

Have a secret list of suspects, that's not a problem. Use that secret list to deprive rights... that's the problem. It's item c) in your list.

We have process for a reason.

And for the record, as many *many* people have pointed out, the chance of being killed by terrorism is vanishingly small in the US. We're eliminating rights in response to a problem that doesn't exist.

(*) Or, for that matter, a secret law. Which was invoked at the time the assassination was carried out.

Really? Hmm...seems to be...no. And no, and no, and doesn't appear to be so either. Looks like they went hand in hand, but he was more then happy to pledge allegiance to ISIS.

So when's that dialog happening?

Don't you mean an impossible standard

Well, the USPS are still there 10 years later, so it must be possible. I, for one, expect nothing but the very best from our benevolent and omniscient government. If they can decide, how I should pay my doctors and what medicine is good for me, if they can know, what foods are healthy, how children should be reared, Internet-service provided, and retirement financed, they can certainly figure out, how to pay for their own workers' retirement. Especially, since they are exempt from some of the local laws (like parking regulations) — NYC alone gets over $100 mln in fines from FedEx and other private companies every year, but not from USPS.

And make it a model too — for the knuckle-dragging KKKapitalists to follow!

Seriously though, the required prefunding , which you Statists like to talk about so much, protects taxpayers, who'd be on the hook to pay for these government workers otherwise. Hasn't Detroit taught you anything? We do not owe employees of private companies, but postal workers work for us. This is why USPS is — and ought to be — treated differently from the "Fortune 500" companies.

Found the Russian troll.

As has been repeatedly stated, but you Russian trolls repeatedly ignore because it exposes your lies, the U.S. does not have an army of paid trolls spewing nonsense on social media like Russia does. We know Russia pays people, its citizens, to put out lies because one woman sued the Russian government over the practice.

But as always from Russian trolls there will be an excuse or an attempt at deflecting the truth just like when it is pointed out Russia has lost over 2,000 soldiers during its invasion of Ukraine, that Russian soldiers "on vacation" keep getting captured in Ukraine, that Russia funds the terrorists in Eastern Ukraine, that the takeover of Crimea has cost Russia untold amounts of money because supporting a peninsula isn't as easy as Putin said it would be, that Russia has stolen businesses from the people in Crimea and given them over to oligarchs aligned with Putin, that the Tartars of Crimea are forbidden from speaking their own language or having their own schools, that Tartar newspapers have been shut down because they don't post what Putin tells them to do.

All this, and much, much more, is the truth but Russian trolls always find an excuse to deny the truth. Because that is what they are paid to do.

The last article raises the question, how many more deaths as the result of marijuana use have gone unreported? We know more and more traffic deaths have marijuana as a cause.

But please, let us here more excuses how none of the above is related to marijuana use. Drug users are good at making excuses, especially when presented with facts.

It has been reported that the FBI was able to recover the deleted emails... and presumably they recovered more than just the giant binary file which contained the email store, so a more in-depth look at if the server had ever been compromised is probably possible, but we aren't going to know for sure until the FBI talks a bit more publicly.

If Facebook wasn't biased, WHY ARE THEY MAKING CHANGES?!?!

Facebook said it had changed some of the procedures for its "Trending Topics" section after a news report alleging it suppressed conservative news prompted a Congressional demand for more transparency.

The company said an internal probe showed no evidence of political bias in the selection of news stories for Trending Topics, a feature that is separate from the main "news feed" where most Facebook users get their news.

Yeah, right. Their probe "showed no evidence of political bias. They why this:

"Our investigation could not fully exclude the possibility of isolated improper actions or unintentional bias in the implementation of our guidelines or policies," Colin Stretch, Facebook's General Counsel, wrote...

Yeah, it was all "isolated" and "unintentional".

BULLSHIT.

Because if the bias were "isolated" and "unintentional", Facebook wouldn't be changing the way they process trending topics.

Sick and injured humans will be identified using thermal and vision sensors that detect changes in body temperature

Since the SARS outbreak back in early 2002, they already do this in airports... Why not animals?

at places like NasaSpaceflight.com, which gets its hands on NASA documents rather frequently and is frequently posted to by people in the industry and in NASA and space journalists.

The subject was also covered in press conferences back then and was also discussed publicly by then-shuttle-manager Wayne Hale.

Here is just one of the related docs to wet your appetite, and here is an NSF article about it, although this one is not related to the study of turning the shuttles over to industry.

Here is a link to an NBC news story about one of the 2011 (3 years into Obama admin) options considered to keep shuttles flying until 2017.

Here's another thread from back then for you to tug on.

Now that you have a starting point and evidence that my post was not the fevered imaginings of an Obama hater, I leave it to you to dig around and discover that some of this stuff was just journalistic fluff as usual, but several of the studies were very serious and involved high levels of NASA people.

The whole "Bush killed the shuttles and Obama was a blameless and helpless victim of it" meme is politically convenient for Obama's more space-geeky followers and fanboys, but as usual when politics are involved, the story is far more complex and the mess is far more bi-partisan. This president is no shrinking violet when resisting Republicans in congress, who have greatly angered their base voters by caving-in to him on everything for many years, so his supporters have long pretended that his allowing the shuttles to die was because it was a locked-in irreversible situation before he got into office. That's simply never been the truth. Note: I am no Bush fan and am not trying to remove any blame from him, I'm just debunking the myths of the koolaide-drinking, pudding-eating, NikeShoes-and-purple-napkin-wearing Obama fans who deny well-documented reality while planning their future lives on the comet of perpetual happiness (google: famous suicide cults).

I picked two left-leaning sources. So have some right leaning sources as well. The GOP has been fundamentally against that.

One also can't forget that it was Zuckerburg that threw the hissyfit over "all lives matter" because people think that "black lives matter" is BS.

Nobody starves in India!

Are you serious? You really don't do any research, do you, before declaring yourself the authority on a subject? I mean... there are some falsehoods proclaimed by idiots on Slashdot, but this one takes the cake for the day.

More CHILDREN starve to death in India EVERY DAY than total malnutrition deaths in the US in a whole year. Including adults with eating disorders, abuse victims, etc.

There are MORE hungry people in India than anywhere else in the world. They have more than #2 and #3 (China and Pakistan) COMBINED. 24.4% of all malnourished people on the planet live in India.

No one is starving there

Despicable.

Now, with that said, there is one thing I'll say about Google Maps that might be a saving (?) grace: anyone using Google on their cell is "phoning home" a ton of information... including location (wonder how Google knows about traffic conditions when they don't have implanted sensors/cameras on the roads?).

FYI, that doesn't necessarily happen the way you think it does. There are companies that make devices to track all cellphones (including iPhones and dumbphones) by their cellular emissions, or sometimes Bluetooth, and then sell that (aggregated) traffic data to Google, state DOTs, etc. (See this article, for example.) It's not that Google programmed the phone to report its location over its data connection; it's getting tracked much more indirectly.

Of course, if you're using Waze then that really is directly reporting your location over your data connection.

Think of it as having to renew your marriage vows every 20-25 years or so.

And international borders, they are prison walls, they should have been abolished with the end of World War 2. They only serve the stratification interests of business. All the nationalist/religious ideology is to motivate your army to work for cheap, but even those ISIS guys don't work for free.

In my experience school districts consider students under their jurisdiction no matter where they are - on or off school grounds.

1. Apple is known government accomplices, hahahahahahaaaa. The Hate is strong in this one...

There is no hate. Apple capitulated to thousands of government requests, I don't "hate" them for doing this. In fact my primary phone since I started using smartphones has been an iPhone because I find it far superior to the Android, Blackberry or Windows Phone offerings.

2. Apple's Passcode allows up to 52 alphanumeric and punctuation character Passphrases using iOS' 104 character keyboard.

Of course but rarely is this used in comparison to the default 4-digit numeric passcode (also predominant on Windows devices), admittedly for convenience. Whereas Android's default system, the lock pattern, provides the same convenience with much more security so that even in the case of the 10-digit timeout being bypassed the data itself is still encrypted with a relatively strong key in comparison to iOS's numeric option. The other option is to take convenience through the fingerprint sensor and use a strong passcode.

If you'd spent as much tiime reading the multitudinous posts on Slashdot that pointed those facts out as you do spewing Apple Hate, you'd know that.

Nobody is "spewing apple hate", your interpretation is unfortunate and you would do well to detach yourself emotionally so you do not get upset so easily at your own misinterpretation.

The aircraft was on approach. It probably wasn't doing 500mph.

However, bird strikes definitely do happen during take off and landing, so going at only 100mph or so, doesn't really help.

The judge ruled Tuesday that the Cupertino-based company had to provide "reasonable technical assistance" to the government in recovering data from the iPhone 5c, including bypassing the auto-erase function and allowing investigators to submit an unlimited number of passwords in their attempts to unlock the phone. Apple has five days to respond to the court if it believes that compliance would be "unreasonably burdensome."

Source: http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/san-bernardino-shooting/judge-forces-apple-help-unlock-san-bernardino-shooter-iphone-n519701

"Reasonable technical assistance" somehow got spun into "creating a permanent backdoor". I'll let you figure out who was doing the spinning.

Her name was leaked by Richard Armitage, who admitted leaking her name to Novak. Libby was prosecuted for perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements but not violating any intel statutes (the admission Armitage had done it was out before the probe ended). He was convicted for lying to FBI agents about whether he conversed with Tim Russert and Matt Cooper and when and how he learned of Plame's cover (his story was that he learned it after the scandal).

"Wacky" that's one way to put it.

Running on a platform that promises to round up all illegal immigrants while having profited from them certainly seems wacky.

You do realize that the very first slave owner in America was ... black, right?

This is demonstrably, incorrect.
      I realize that no comes to /. to learn about American History.
However, assuming that by "America", you mean the British colonies
of North America, and not the Spanish or Portugese colonies of the New World,
history records that John Punch , on
July 9, 1640 in the Virginia colony, became the first person documented to have been
sentenced to "slavery for life". His owner, was Virginia planter Hugh Gwyn,
"a wealthy landowner, a justice, and a member of the House of Burgesses",
and was not black.
      Another good reference for this information is "Africans in America" , by
Charles Johnson, Patricia Smith et al., 1998

There is nobody here that owned slaves, knows anyone that was or owned slaves, probably several more generations more.

This statement may be true if by "here", you mean people who
frequent /. Otherwise it is not true. Even if it is true for you, you
certainly should have an awareness of the idea that the last Civil War widow
who received a pension died not too long ago, whether that was in 2004
or in 2008 . If those couples or similar couples had children, and if
the Civil War Veteran had owned slaves, then you should at least be able to deduce
that it is possible for someone to be alive today that knew someone that had been a slave or had owned slaves.
        I have relatives alive today who are in their 80s and 90s, whose grandfather or grandmother
was born a slave in the United States. Of course, these relatives were young children when
they met their grandparents. Yet, I would contend that they are alive and knew someone that
had been a slave in the US. Granted, they do not frequent /., and so may not technically meet your
definition of "here".

We are 150 years from slavery in the US, but people like you keep acting like it was last week.

You are free to make that argument. However, by preceding your argument with statements
that are false, you make it less compelling.

You could always use the "trucker bomb" method: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/7912...

Misleading as hell. Here's a less yellow news source. They do not plan on cloning humans.

Trump is very unpopular with female Republicans. If the GOP chooses him they are throwing away the election, because last time around more women than men voted and he's even less popular among non-Republican females.

You could be right about the riots, but the real problem is the system. You only get one vote, and in some states it's winner-takes-all, so you end up with a candidate who is acceptable to only a minority because the votes are spread too thinly among the more mainstream ones.

On some BMWs in the '90s it was impossible to open the car by any means from the inside if it was locked from the outside. Here are more reports. I believe most of those are due to worn mechanisms, but that's hardly uncommon.

My car isn't supposed to be that way, but the mechanism has stiffened up enough that it would be a real problem if you are mechanically disadvantaged by a rod.

Interesting;y, before the mandated change, the door NOT opening if you pulled the inside handle while it was locked was seen as a safety feature to avoid people (especially children) falling out while in motion.

This is a parody, right?

The shooting occurred shortly after 2:30 p.m. after the man set off an alarm while going through a metal detector and "drew what appeared to be a weapon and pointed it at a police officer," Capitol Police Chief Matthew Verderosa said.

It's a 2x parody.

The GP is clearly trolling (or not sound) AND the Larry Dawson was reported to have drawn a pellet gun.

Now you're probably looking to get shot if you pull out any gun-like object and point it at a cop, so I am not making excuses for him. But what is sad, if you have ever used a pellet pistol, is that most "realistic" looking ones are not powerful enough to kill a squirrel at 10 yards.

but the thick accent (Indian? Pakistani? whatever) of an obviously non-native Engrish speaker kind of gave it away.

Some of them are local.

I got the call "You failed to show for Federal grand jury duty, and we are going to come to your house today to arrest you unless you pay the fine now." Fine was $1,200 dollars.
His accent was clearly American from the south. He had done his homework - named the building the Federal grand jury was housed in, one of the judges, and so on. Oddly enough, he had my previous address from like 10 years ago. I was curious and kept him on the phone, said I could just drive over and pay it since it was close to my house. Nope, he said, the patrol cars were already rolling to pick up several people so it had to be paid now over the phone, and it would look really bad if I fled instead of stayed at home, etc. Anyway, I got bored and hung up.

I called the Federal courthouse and told them this was going on, and she said, yeah, we know. They have a pretty good scam. She said they even had a official sounding voice mail for you to leave a message if you called back. She also said they were working on doing something about these guys.
Yeah, sure, good luck with that I thought.

Here's some of what he reported: "A State Department spokeswoman says Hillary Clinton did not break any rules by relying solely on her personal email account. Federal law allows government officials to use personal email so long as relevant documents are preserved for history." The law was amended in late 2014 to require that personal emails be transferred to government servers within 20 days. But that was after Clinton left office. Watchdog groups conceded that she may not have violated the text of the law, but they argue she violated the spirit of it.

"To send classified information electronically, the State Department has a secure, closed system. So even if Clinton had used a state.gov email address, this would not have been secure enough to transmit classified information.

A bomb is probably the worst way to deliver this type of attack, because it immediately alerts everyone that an attack has taken place. The longer the contamination is allowed to spread without anyone knowing an "attack" is going on, the greater the damage and cleanup cost. In that respect I'm thankful for Hollywood and the news media's ignorance because they're sending potential terrorists barking up the wrong tree.

Everyone is getting all in a tizzy about protecting our nuclear reactors. It's our hospitals we should be worried about. If someone were to steal a radiation treatment source and scatter it around a city unbeknownst to its residents, the economic cost of cleanup would be massive. Easily hundreds of millions of dollars, possibly billions. Brazil only had to pay about $20 million in cleanup costs because the woman who brought the material to the hospital and to the attention of the authorities just by pure luck happened to transport it in a plastic bag. No plastic bag and the bus she rode on, all the people in it and all the places they went, the hospital, and the people visiting the hospital and everywhere they went would've been contaminated.
