I just looked at the link and I see that quite a few of them have starved. So this mimics real life starving artists who (although they are starving) can still afford to get high.
What's the big deal? I can think of better places to get porn.
The only people who would get off on this is those who want to know that the person in the photo does not know that they actually have it. That puts them in the same category as peeping-toms and those who hide cameras in their shoes.
Those who routinely watch porn would probably not be interested in fuzzy, BW pictures of mostly overweight Americans.
And the idea that the pictures would 'NOT' be stored is crazy.
If one of these terrorists succeeds in bringing on-board or even detonating a bomb, then those scans will be one of the first things the authorities will look at.
Just wait for a supposedly destroyed hard-drive to show up on online.
I did not say that, it doesn't look like I said that, and I don't believe you actually think I said that.
The four points I made about vaccines were not directed at you or anything you wrote, but you did mention that autism gets diagnosed around the age a child gets vaccinated. Vaccines in children are so frequent now that (I think) this statement does not make much sense. Children where I live are scheduled for an average of two or more vaccines per year.
There is a difference between chemical 'crap'(as I called it earlier) in a vaccine and substances that are benign. If I order food from a restaurant I will request "No MSG" but "extra salt"(my BP is fine). Both make the food taste better.
I think kittens are the sole cause of autism. I don't know why, but I do. No matter how much research you collect to the contrary, I will consider it all to be insufficiently impartial for me, despite having no research that backs up my own opinions.
There are people who don't believe that smoking is harmful, some of those are smokers who will die of lung cancer. It's not my job to change their mind. We know that there are cases of children who have never received any vaccines but developed autism. There also are people who have "life-threatening" reactions to pet dander. If consistent contact with an allergen creates an auto-immune reaction that contributes to autism, then maybe you are right about kittens. There is the risk of toxoplasmosis in pregnancy, who's to say that something cats carry might not be the cause of other problems. Not long ago it was thought that stress caused most stomach ulcers.
> 50 % understaffed, 16 % seriously. So how many of you have to answer your blackberries after work? Is this not the kind of situation that a Union would prevent?
(just an honest question btw, I'm not trying to troll)
How about stopping all this crap with so many vaccines?
Vaccines are good when they're needed but how many of them are not needed?
Do you remember how many vaccines you got growing up?
Well, check how many more vaccines children now get.
Vaccines are a hallmark of how great and beneficial our Medicine can be, but please:
Stop putting all this chemical crap into vaccines (preservatives, etc.) or at least give us (those who worry about what's injected into our kids) an alternative that we can trust. We're more than willing to pay extra for it.
Make those with a vested interest in the sale of vaccines have no say in which and how many vaccines we get.(Just check how much the H1N1 vaccine companies made, they love pandemics).
Stop with the "vaccines are the best things in the world and you are part of the 'axis of evil' if you think otherwise" BS. You're just as crazy as those who think that all vaccines should be banned. Just think critically and be skeptical both about promoters of vaccines and those who oppose them.
Many think that vaccines contribute to autism, I think vinyl floors could be worse. But in rare situation, maybe vaccines are a contributing factor, maybe they are not. Show me truly impartial research.
Now I'm off to research if all the money spent vaccinating children against polio in a country that hasn't had a "wild case" since 1979 would have been enough to have already eradicated the disease globally. It's frightening that this vaccine currently causes more harm than good.(In the US 8-9 cases/year caused by the vaccine, 0 cases are caused by the actual disease since 79, but the vaccine companies are laughing all the way to the bank)
5) Every vendor seems to have their own names for a virus. For pity sake can we have some kind of standard naming mechanism?
How about a (latin/greek) Biological-like naming system. After all, it works for biology and many (computer)viruses are derived from earlier versions of those viruses, so we could have actual hierarchies.
So you could have a name such as: "userus.dumbus.clicktus.pornolinkus.diabolicus"
Of course after the latin name we could come up with a "common" name - based on the name of the unfortunate tech who had the displeasure to remove it first.
Thin, light, cheap and permanent.
That's what I thought this E-ink would aspire to be.
Why do we but such big ugly boxes around E-ink?
We're just making super-low power tablets with slow screens.
I want a sheet of paper screen that I can crumple up and throw away when I spill coffee on in.
Sure watching videos is nice. But why is it called an E-book?
This is a step in the wrong direction.
I want to end up with something like This (Caprica) or like the display sheets in the show Andromeda instead of just another tablet.
An atom around a massive object is a raindrop to space, but a perfect sphere to itself. That's what I got to when I was 15. I wish I knew the math to make more of it, but it seems that this article is heading in that direction.
According to this pets are now allowed on Air Canada, although many people with allergies object and can no longer fly because of this. But nuts (which don't get carried in the air as much as pet dander) are not allowed?
Am I the only one wondering WTF?
I have an even better story for Slashdot. It's called "Why You Should Fuck Off and Let People Use What They Want".
WELL, I WANT TO USE A F***in MAC!
And because MS pushes it's big ego around and 90% of the people believe what MS says, I am DENIED that.
There isn't a single game company that would not like to sell to both Windows and Apple customers, but because of MS's BS they falsely think they might be at a disadvantage.

YouTube usable without flash.
My only reason for using a proprietary OS.
What I want to know is what will i4i do with its 300 million from Microsoft.
And will Microsoft pay-up?
once a cellular automaton cuts off its ear.
You mean retina.

Promising 12 battery life is one thing.
Actually delivering acpi that is not crap is another.
I guess we'll wait and see.

I really hope Mozilla can make it happen.
Where is Google in this? Why are they dragging their feet?
After all, without openness where would they be?

Wow, you don't just have a domain, you have your own TLD!!!
That is so uber-cool!
(sorry about the rest of the domain though)
Just get your own domain name.
It's what ? $20, $40.
What's cooler that having your own domain.
me@firstlastname.com
or
first@lastname.com
or, if your name wouldn't work:
yourname@aolsucksalot.com
BTW "aolsucksalot.com" is still available :)

The article does mention Apples and Oranges
Sorry...
'build' such ugly boxes around E-ink, and spill coffee on 'it'.
Where's my iCaffeine?

Maybe someday.
Nice use of entropy BTW.
But a meeting with the first one would be quite painful.
BTW Caprica starts on Jan 22.
Only thinking about the male side of the population, aren't we???
I will believe the title once a Sex Robot is developed that can find the G-spot.
It would be more interesting to see a Laughing Man logo superimposed over peoples faces.
These ads would be just as annoying.
So what do I have to say into the microphone for this "melting" condition to occur?
I didn't know these laptops were so sensitive.
