This greasemonkey script will hide any bennet haselton shit from the main page and the "older" pages (http://slashdot.org/?page=1). http://pastebin.com/Dr4VkXFU
It just shits through the DOM looking first for the article list wrapper (firehose) then shits through its immediate children looking for article tags, shits through the articles looking for the nested divs that contain the content, then matches content (both the flat node and innerhtml, just in case) for "bennet" or "haselton" (as whole words). If found, it hides the article.
We've quadrupled the number of confirmed cases. We've had tens of thousands exposed. We cannot track the exposed people. We've had people break quarantines (medical professionals, no less). We have many people under "observation" but not an actual quarantine. We're still letting people fly in willy-nilly, to the point that individual states are enacting their own quarantine procedures because the federal government isn't doing shit. We have businesses being shut down because infected people visited them.
Please continue assuring yourself that it's not an issue.
Their views and opinions aren't impacting your rights, and they are entitled to them just as you are to your own views and opinions. If you don't like their influence on politics, influence politics yourself to your own liking, just as they are.
Please tell me how to turn this shit off in Firefox, for example. Do I have to go to some undocumented or barely-documented flag in about:config ? How do I know Firefox is respecting that flag? How do I know Firefox will respect it in the future? Assuming Firefox is respecting that flag, what exactly is it doing? Is it actually NOT loading the modules necessary for that feature? Or is it loading entire browser+bloat as usual, and just not calling the module? Does disabling the shit protect me from the latest exploit that targets it? Will I have to download a patch for the latest exploit? When will it be available? How much resources does this shit take? Does disabling it get me those resources back? What about storage? Can I delete the relevant files or is shit baked in so hard that the browser won't function without them being there?
If it were a plugin, I'd have the choice of not installing it at all.
don't you think that Microsoft is not just doing a "store once, mark for all" system, where they note that the same large files are being backed up by 10,000 users. They store a single copy and just put a pointer to that copy for everyone.
No, their actual storage hardware probably uses block-level deduplication.
I'd rather have to deal with plugins than deal with the feature creep, bloat, and widened attack surface you get from shoehorning all this shit into the browser. With plugins, you get the best, fastest, and most secure experience. (By not installing the plugins.)
I DON'T want my browser to support fucking Skype calls on the web, encourage shitty web-design trends that sacrifice usability in favor of a hip image, support shitty DRM over HTML, etc. The merits of any individual feature, as well as the shitty design choices of any give site, are beside the point. Baking all this shit into the browser removes my choice, shifts development focus away from performance, security, and enhancement of core features, steals my megahertz and megabytes, etc.
The concern is over the appropriateness of the venue. Since Creationists by and large reject major branches of science, allowing them to have a "conference" at a university seems wildly inappropriate.
As to refuting the Creationist's claims, some people have dedicated years just to that; www.talkorigins.org
The venue is a public university. The venue is appropriate for any group to peaceably assemble and express their views.
That's right folks, by the time someone is in college, they are entirely brain-dead, and have no functional capacity to think for themselves. Way to present and frame an argument.
I'm sure all the Jewish students would be thrilled with skinheads, Christian reconstructionists, neo-Nazis and the like attending their campus.
I'm sure their being thrilled or not has nothing to do with whether or not any of those groups have the right to assemble and express their views on public property.
They will also find a speaker with an impressive title that implies that he is a respected scientist and try to give the impression that serious/rational scientists believe their fairy stories. It might not get far with most slashdot readers, but it will sound good and 'may be right' to many; most people do not have much understanding of science - these are their target audience - the masses, not the educated minorities - enough to keep the collecting plates full at the churches.
Congratulations, you've described 98% of all lectures, presentations, "talks", "debates", etc. in academia, politics, and business.
Youa re usiung the same fallacy which is placing on the same level flat earther versus the rest. You can have all opnion you want - at home or at your church. At a university I expect evidence based studies. NOT opnion. If you want that go to a social study or political U (snark).
And you can have all the terrible spelling and grammar you want. You are advocating for a group in the US to be restricted from gathering in public because of their views. You're wrong - morally and legally.
Disagree with personal views that are neither testable nor impacting your rights to your own views in any way. If you don't like their beliefs you can either ignore them or be an intolerant bigot.
? Or just use trains to move goods across the continental US (safer, more efficient, etc), instead of the subsidizing the trucking industry.
We already do use trains. We use them when we need to move lots of shit from A to B if A and B are connected by railways. The problem is that we often have to ship from A, B, and C to D, E, F, G, H, etc. and the most efficient way to do so is not by rail. If you built out rail to the point that there were enough major lines and stations for transporting shit comparably to roads, you would end up destroying the efficiency advantage. If you do things the right way, you batch your shipments onto boats, planes, and trains, and from those endpoints you use trucks to move shit to their disparate final destinations. Guess what we do now. If there is efficiency to be gained there is profit to be made. The shipping industry isn't jerking off over building more rail because they know it would be a boondoggle, not a boon to profits.
They are actively involved in continued, coordinated, nation-wide attacks against the citizens of the United States of America. Their overt spying, censure, and hijacking of communications would be considered an act of war if performed by another nation. It is treason by the very definition of treason in this country.
One more point, a court can't do anything on it's own. It has to wait until someone can show they were harmed by the NSA through the wiretapping and brings the case to the courts. Good luck with that.
The violation of rights IS the harm, and it's done on such a massive scale against the entire populace that it can only be considered treason.
How should I know who's going to infect who next? That's precisely the point. Infected people get in, run around willy-nilly, the people treating them don't have the training or equipment to properly handle the situation let alone the public at large the come into contact with, and more people are exposed and infected. We've already had 3 confirmed transmissions of Ebola in the US since I made my statement. I've already been proven right. Hundreds of people are being monitored, thousands have been exposed, businesses are closed down, etc. Keep your head in the sand though.
Anyone who had to read it, update it, or debug it? Anyone who had to play the fucking game (it's full of game-breaking bugs - http://survex.com/~olly/rheoli... )?

If you do not try, and do not prepare for failure.
Because in preparing for failure, you conceive of how the plan could fail, and from that, accurately gauge the project cost.
Wrong.
Plenty of "successful" people have never planned or tried - they were born into success and were never allowed to fail with consequence.
herp derp correlation is not causation

Oh, it's "bennett" not "bennet". Script works as-is, but may block legitimate "bennet"s.

Looking out the window get's pretty boring. Of course, staring at the back of the seat in front of me isn't much better. That's why I bring a book.
Books are boring, too. That's why I masturbate on long flights. 42 years and it's still exciting every single time!

Anyone willing to test the limits?
Just upload 10 GB chunks of random data with a zip, rar, 7z, tar, whatever extensions.

Make sure you know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.
That's an unreasonable expectation for a capital-A Atheist.

No, that takes at least 4 years of conditioning.

It's treason. They're adhering to the enemies of the US. Those enemies just happen to be domestic.
