Worse, the sleaze claims that his justification was the 'Formosan Sea Goddess' or some such appearing in a dream
Wait, I've seen that schtick before:
The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Well, I guess that the scientists are now settled on this.
This is a life-saving medical procedure in American hospitals that could cost you upwards of two-thousand USD. Your insurance company could elect to accept or decline that procedure arbitrarily as they see fit.
However in US airports its now going to be a mandatory part of a theatricality introduced 18 years ago to stop terrorists we created after the fall of the soviet union through the funding and training of the Mujaheddin.
So why don't we combine the two? Instead of going to the hospital for a $2,000 CAT scan, you take a flight from Newark to Las Vegas which will only cost $200. And the CAT scan is free included.
We would just need to replace some DHS folks with doctors:
"You are not carrying any explosive devices in your body . . . but your prostate will go nuclear in a few years."
If the TSA agent asks you to lay down on the conveyor belt, you can inform him that Federal law gives you the right to refuse to be sent through the baggage scanner.
The thing that really annoys me about security checks, is that it is really boring.
Now, if they could dress up the baggage scanner to be like an amusement park "Horror House" ride that I could sit on . . . at least I could have some fun in the process.
And it could mentally prepare you for the "Horror" of bad airplane food, screaming babies, disgruntled flight attendants, full overhead bins, etc.
Between that and the much better naming "Impossible Burger"s sounds much cooler than "Veggieburger" I could see this gaining some traction simply because of better quality.
Personally, I am holding out for the Soylent Green Veggieburger.
Made exclusively from nutritious and wholesome free-range Veggies.
Veggies pay careful attention to the quality of the food they eat, so any food made of them should be very healthy, indeed.
Because people piss their pants if it's not a technology related story on Slashdot, so someone needs to find a tech angle for Mueller to get that posted.
There should be a Betteridge's or Godwin's Law postulating that Slashdotters are capable of finding a tech angle on anything.
It's kinda sorta like the IT UI saying: "Nothing can be made foolproof, because fools are so ingenius."
That said, I don't come here to read the tech news . . . I come here to read what other tech folks think about the news.
A Slashdot story about Kim Kardashian's butt would probably get a post stating:
"I am a postdoc using advanced topological quantum entanglement field theory models with butt cheeks to create Higgs Bosons."
" . . . and it is a good excuse for a noonday wank."
So for me, a tech folks discussion about the Mueller Report would be potentially interesting . . . however, given the current polarized state of US politics at the moment . . . it would quickly deteriorate into a flame fest.
I would need to set my browsing settings at +5 to avoid the trash.

Myself, I never write texts or respond to emails while driving, I only read them
You are part of the problem
Or better stated:
"Most of the time you are somebody else's problem"
To me it's already scary that people think they need to own guns there because the police won't come in time.
Don't call the police. Call a personal injury lawyer. They will be immediately there.
On the downside, you will get a hefty bill for the matter.
Maybe we need an emergency dispatcher number for lawyers . . . ?
How about 666 . . . ?
Considering that Amazon comes from ancient Greek, and refers to a tribe of women warriers, I'd say it's "first come, first served."
Why should the Greeks name a river in South America?
Just rename the river. What do the Yanomamis and their pals call it . . . ?
If you find an AI roaming about, please enroll it in one of our courses immediately.
I've been using it as roadkill.
It tastes like chicken.
Yum, yum.

Six Flags should look into the business model.
And they burn their garbage for energy.
Well, gee, when the idea of burning garbage for energy was promoted in the film "Back to the Future" everybody seemed to like it.
And I, for one, would have more of an incentive to take out the garbage every week, if my car could run on it.
I bet if my city was surrounded by waterfalls instead of even more people, we could do that too. But then again, we'd probably be a lake. ;)

Seems to me the parents suck ass.
Although, video games to have an impact on people
Well, obviously, it had impact on the parents.
They need their games taken away.
If not for pork, what is the purpose of landing on the Moon ?
Didn't you see the PBS Nova documentary . . . ?
Nude on the Moon
That's what put the "Buzz" in the Aldrin, and let's you know what Alan Shepard's golf "balls" on the Moon was really about.
By any chance, is there a "christian" prophecy which includes human presence on the moon?
Well, there is Iron Sky:

That works . . . kinda sorta . . .
I'm interested how they'll handle legitimate use cases.
Why not just make robocalls illegal . . . ? I live in Germany, and get zero robocalls . . . because they are illegal.
All my relatives in the US complain about them . . . nobody seems to like them . . . why it is a problem to make them illegal . . . ?
Oh, maybe the AT&T and their pals who make lots of money the calls . . .

without the suffering of millions of chickens raised in really poor conditions.
Yes! Forget about "Think of the Children!" . . . "Think of the Chickens!"
I think all IT folks should rally around the cause:
Spaghetti Code! Not Chicken!"
How is this remotely new or innovative?
It provides access to all the data on your phone to Windows Telemetry . . . and their pals . . .
So, what this really means:
Users will need to have Microsoft's Your Phone app installed for the feature to work.
. . . is that your phone now is transformed into Microsoft's Their Phone.
May be all Russia can afford.
Why do they need their own Internet?
From comments here, I thought they already p0wned this one.
- and it's unclear why, as a nation, tolerate it. :(
As long as Justin Trudeau gets his cut from the Canadian telecoms . . . everything's just fine as it is.
. . . the speed of the bus will be limited to prevent accidents to 0 kph.
(That's 0 mph for the Imperial Units crew).
You could literally just flood depleted coal mines with the stuff and leave it.
. . . and what's even more . . . we can hire unemployed coal miners to bury it!
Clearly a win-win on all fronts!
"I used to be a coal miner . . . now I am a coal bury-er!"
Because having 512 GIGABYTES of PHONE RAM is really what the consumer needs.
Unfortunately . . . 256 GB will be pre-filled with bloatware.
I will be interested to see it go up 4 or 5 flights of stairs.
FedEx has licensed Dalek IP and technology to do this.
I am sure they know this, but, also, processors for the space environment are also a perfectly well-known quantity.
I would just hire the folks who made the Mars Rovers to build the space computer.
Being how long they lasted, they seem to know what they are doing.
Why do you think that only "the rich" will have robots?
The rest of us will get apes.
And it won't end well.
If Pluto's not a planet, and Earth isn't either, then there're 7 known planets, and this new thing maybe possibly MIGHT be number EIGHT.
Fool: The reason why the seven stars are no more than seven is a pretty reason.
Lear: Because they are not eight?
Fool: Yes, indeed: thou wouldst make a good fool.
