No, thats not what I said - If he was anywhere but in an embassy it would be totally unjistified. But as he is in an embassy it puts the equadorian government in the position of being seen to support someone trying to influence the electon in the US. Diplomats arent supposed to do that
From a diplomatic perspective its probably the right call for the equadorian government - haveing a person under their protection affecting
the US election would be seen as interferance
And of course they can use this as an example of diplomatic condut when they next have an election...
Microsoft's AI keeps embarrassing them. It's like they thought their corporate image problem from being a ham-handed OS monopoly wasn't big enough: they needed to automate gaffes.
Just think of it as the first steps of a new thing. Be interesting to see this develop
The status of the component parts of the UK is one of those odd historical things. But in this case it does say in the summary the that source is an strongly scottish nationalist newspaper so they would of course refer to it as scottish airspace regardless.
I wonder how many of that 500 are PS4 exclusives though. Most Ganes this generation seem to be multi-platform
(yes, Halo 5 I know - but there do see to be less exclusives that I remeber from previous generations)
Is the Admiral suffering from dementia, or is he just a fucking idiot? The attack on the Cole was successful because the rules of engagement did not allow the Cole to fire upon the boat.
If being able to fire on boats (or use a drone swarm like the proposed) is going to be a requirement for a us ship to visit a port, there are going to a lot less ports for them to refuel at.
Isn't it phantastic when science and engineering can profit from stupidity and narrow-minded nationalism? If only that were always the case!
Well, if it gets a little more cash spent on actual science
(sad that it takes an international pissing contest to get that done, but thats the world we live in)
I'd say no, no voting method is perfect but imo online voting has the most chance of
getting more people to vote.
There me be a slight increase in fraud, but as long as it can be kept to a minor level I'd say
that its worth it to increase turnout
Yeh, IMO were not going to see a really serious open hardware till some really nasty DRM/Trusted computing evil
comes along and turns peoples minds to it.
On the one hand you say bots ruin the game, and on the other you complain about Blizzard shutting down WoW Glider. Well, which is it? Should they support botting or not?
IMO My problem with the WOW Glider was blizzard interfering with another company's program simply because it interfaced with WOW
sets a bad precedent and (to me) is an intrusion on the freedom of the user.
Not that I like bots but they should catch then by there in game actions.
With all this talk about graphics performance, I'd say the best weapon consoles have at the moment is physical gaming controls
Touch Screens are wonderful for many things but unless the ipad 3 generation are a massive improvement, then any game that
plays best with d-pad and buttons will still lack something on tablet/phone.
Note to slashdot: It'll be hard to maintain whatever shred of journalistic veneer and integrity you have left if you start posting advertisements for sister websites as 'sponsorships' of semi-legitimate discussions or stories.
The fact that everyone else does it is still no excuse.
While the whole sponsored ask slashdot does seem a bit off, at least the posts from the sponsors are clearly marked. As long as that continues maybe it wont be
too bad. (On the assumption that they dont allow sponsorship from any really evil companies)
Sounds like an improved version of the detectors used to find illegal immigrants hidden in trucks. If it works It'll probably see much more use by customs that the rescue people.

So is a voice activated flush worth every bowel movement being logged on your record ?
Authoritarian governments to the extreme since 1933.
Not that I agree with Germany's restrictions on speech but I'd say it much more a desperate attempt to avoid another authoritarian governemnt
So you support censorship. Good to know...

Maybe I'm missing something but why not launch the propellant tanker first and have it wait in orbit for the manned craft ?

Maybe with all these non gaming uses something can finally be done with the thousands of kinect's sitting gathering dust.

Hardware is hard. Good hardware is harder.

> or are consumers going to just get screwed in the long run?" Yes is my first thought on that one.
Another idiot that doesn't realize the difference between a copy and themself.
I've always taken the view that even if it is only a 'copy' if it is still around after your organic body dies then It's you.

who claims he can build a functional moon base in 8 years
Not to agree with the people concerned, but I'd say that that was possible assuming (hah!) that the right funding was provided
Never happen I know, but its still possible.
