Your kid might not die from whooping cough, but the fact that your kid gets sick means that he's exposing other children to the disease, and they might die.
Ah I see. So if everyone gets vaccinated except my child, and my child gets sick from the disease they were vaccinating against, all vaccines the other children took suddenly become ineffective? That sounds like it's completely worth any risk my child might face.
IANAL either, but I think it's not that the US is making German policy, but more the US is saying a large economy-supporting US company that the government itself directly depends upon isn't allowed to hurt another large economy-supporting US company that the government itself directly depends upon. Motorola makes the radios the gov uses outside of the cellular network in many departments from national security to space exploration. Microsoft makes the software that most of the government computers run on.
Or of course it could just be that USA consider themselves world police.
I think this article is itself media bias. Apparently the author forgot about the epic lawsuits and class actions both google and apple faced for their handling of wifi logging for location services, google's street view wrist-slaps, and the very recent '4G in Australia' issue apple is currently being litigated for.
People don't 'bash microsoft into the ground' and more than they do the other 'The Man's. And to claim they do is itself dishonest, pro-microsoft bias.
Er, from the excerpt, the link to HFCS isn't the HFCS itself or how it's produced, it's that the pesticide in question started being used to protect corn crops exactly 1 year before the breakout of colony collapse disorder. I can understand people around here don't RTFA but the least you can do is RTFE.
We might not have a country any more but we can have a corporation, which is apparently more powerful these days anyway. If you can't beat them, join them?:P
I wonder.. how about everyone who would class themselves as a consumer and victim in such contexts band together, form a 'corporation of the people', pool their money and begin lobbying themselves
He did say 9600 baud *terminals*, not modems. dumb terminals used serial lines to connect to mainframes and what-not at, usually, 9600 baud independent of what modems at the time could do over phone lines (which were typically MUCH slower)
It can be argued that by giving the employer the password you are consenting to them accessing your account. So while it's a violation of the FB TOS it probably is not 'unauthorized access of a computer system'.
I'm sure if everyone in the country who was asked to hand over their password to their employer said 'fuck off', the mass exodus if they were all to be fired would be enough to cripple and kill the companies in question, to the point where they would just disregard the incident and eventually stop asking.
C'mon America, where's your spirit gone? Where's your pride?
Not everyone lives in the USA.
Not every country is as screwed up either.
You're free to move elsewhere. Just do it by boat though to avoid the xray scanner cancer.
Then start up a new bug-less brand and make a LOT of noise about the fact that/your/ TVs aren't watching your children watch saturday morning cartoons in their underwear and streaming it over the internet.
You will rake it in hand over fist
True. But the original argument that apache is by default tuned to require 10gb is still squarely false, and the premise that 10gb is an unreasonable expectation is still absurd. Plus there's the whole 'if you can't/don't want to tune it properly then it's not for you in the first place' thing as well. Who goes out and buys an 18 wheel Mack truck then complains when it doesn't fit in their suburban driveway? Horses for courses and all that..
Why does rational cognition and 'looking before you leap' make you so damned angry? Why do you believe that waiting until something is proven before injecting into your children is ignorant?? Seriously, anyone with a brain can see the logical flaw with the thinking of you and those like you. And anyone with a memory knows that vaccines do not have a 100% flawless track record. Anyone with eyes can see that the seasonal flu vaccines do not, and because of the timing *can not* be put through the normal FDA process required of things you PUT INTO YOUR BODY. So please, calm down, have a pepsi, and THINK about the situation before rattling off your rote-taught indoctrination.
Hah oh wow. Vaccines and disease do not work that way. Not getting a vaccine doesn't mean you automatically have the disease! Secondly, having the vaccine doesn't guarantee you're not still carrying it! Specially with a viral agent that mutates as rapidly and readily as influenza does.
Further more, you wish to inject UNPROVEN, NOT-TESTED-BY-THE-NORMAL-FDA-PROCESS junk that uses mercury and other nasty agents for extraction and refinement into EVERY CHILD POSSIBLE in order to protect the ~20 (if that) immunocompromised individuals who may come into a given clinic in a given year?
Just wow. You didn't only drink the koolaide, you racked it up and snorted it.
Also you should consider the fact that the parents who refuse vaccines have well-justified doubts thanks to historical record of complications. I'm surprised all the 'intelligent' vaccine supporters who insist that questioning the quality of a mass produced PRODUCT to be SOLD to a CONSUMER is harmful to children (seriously? do you support SOPA too? because not supporting it also harms children, didn't you know?) haven't asked themselves why these vaccines for seasonal flu and the other 'scary' strains like h1n get pushed through to market COMPLETELY BYPASSING the normal long FDA trial process.
Sorry but to a sane and rational person, questioning vaccines is perfectly justified. And before you throw back a strawman argument you should note that I'm not disputing the effectiveness of vaccines, just wishing to see how they play out before letting a puppet inject the shit into a child when so many have had complications in the past. You're going to refuse my child treatment over this completely legitimate concern? Yes you are violating your Hippocratic Oath and should be barred from practicing medicine.
Refusal of treatment is doing harm, regardless of the parents' decision. Just because parents may have made a (debatable) bad decision doesn't excuse the doctor from doing the same.
I don't think it's as funny as you think it is. I dunno, maybe the quality bar for comedy these days has been lowered a fair bit but I find reading *this* kind of article as tedious and uninspired. Ok, sure, mocking the potential reality we might soon face.. people need that. But then it's not funny then either, it's somber trying to appear funny.

This isn't news by any stretch of the meaning.. And a viral marketing campaign posted to the front page yesterday about psychics remote sensing aliens? Jesus Slashdot.. NO news is better than turning yourself into a tabloid. Please stop with the posting of non-events and get back to the real reporting:(
I doubt they are watching this batshit craziness. I doubt any more than 0.1% of the populace are even aware that the MPAA / RIAA are exerting their influence beyond American borders and attempting to interfere with the law making process of every major country in the world. Also that 0.1% would likely be the studios themselves pushing for it all.
Well my question to you then is: What are you going to do about it? Sit there, complaining that no one wants to do anything about it and that it's an insurmountable issue like everyone else who don't realize they're not as alone as they think?
If 100,000+ people decide to impeach a dozen men, it'll happen. It's actually not that difficult for that many people to pick up and carry a person physically out of a building and say 'You do not represent us, we do not acknowledge your authority'. Or those men will resort to using military action on civilians while their tenuous hold on power still remains.. and good luck to them if it goes that way. But you're right, people on the whole are just too damned complacent at the moment. But I have faith that will change when the last straw breaks the camel's back. History repeats itself yadda yadda
Unfortunately, it looks like (3) of Article 12 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights that you quoted negates everything when restrictions on movement are ''..provided by law, are necessary to protect national security', public order..'

"Bitter?"
"Yup. Bit him too."
Agreed. My currently-old laptop has 8.. and my next one is due to have 24 or more and I get that in 3 months time.

Except for, you know, that whole Hippocratic Oath they took which they are now violating.
Btw, I would also nominate this article for relocation to Idle like the alien psychics thing.
