  1. Nope, they still need your vote. They can't win without it.. So, everybody needs to quit their bellyaching.

    How hard has it been to get work since the Soviet Union collapsed and the asylums closed there?

    That would depend on what you are selling.

    Why investigate Facebook for keeping with the low standards of everyone else?

    Because the bathroom patrol had a slow day.

    The US Senate Commerce Committee has jurisdiction over internet communication?? That's sick! How is it possible that we let the government meddle with a kids' hangout? Absolutely insane!

    I/O bottlenecks are the biggest problem. More cores won't help much when memory/storage access is so abysmal. The damn thing should be on when I flip the switch. And gigabyte sized software drivers gotta go, silliest thing I've ever seen. A video/sound card, printer, etc. should only need power and a standard signal input/output to function. All the "drivers" should be on a chip on the device.

  8. When dealing with the mob, "retirement" is not an option. I mean, it is, but not exactly the way you might picture it.

    2nd reply, sorry:

    the same individuals for over 50 years from a young age to adulthood

    All from a very singular demographic (urban white working class) and age group... Slashdot moderation notwithstanding, your "case" doesn't hold up, and I doubt the sample rate is large enough to separate out those other factors, which plays very strongly in that particular demographic also. The only common link between violence and pot is prohibition, putting the entire business into the hands of criminals. That is where the example is set.

    Making it "private" only increases the market value of your information, and puts it in the hands of black market criminals.

  15. Voters rejecting ads, amazing on Uber and Lyft Spend $8.2 Million To Lose Fingerprint Election, Vow To Leave Austin (examiner.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Imagine applying the same process to the November elections and completely purging the House of all incumbents. Let them have their Citizens United and spend all the money they want. With our votes, we can turn that money into confetti. No phony "reform" or term limits needed.

    So, they "vowed" to leave Austin. Maybe that was the idea behind the rule. This is a vaporous company (really, what's this 50 billion "valuation"bullshit?) that is going to leave a lot of people holding the bag when it disappears.

    Marijuana _is_ linked to psychosis whether you like it or not

    Yes, and water is linked to drowning... How much longer are you going to carry on with the charade? And how do you know that a minimum dose isn't necessary to maintain a degree of sanity? Might mellow you out some :-) Maybe it was the weed that made us civil enough to tolerate living in close proximity to each other.. In fact it is racism and bigotry that divides us that drives prohibition.

    Sorry, took the word "felons" at face value.

    So, let's get really all inclusive and call it what it is, Correctional population, which, at a mere 6.85 mil, is at its "lowest rate since 1996", putting only 2.8% of the adult population through the system... But it doesn't show the breakdown.

    Ah, reefer madness, still alive and well... I'll wait until next week, when another study debunking that one comes out, like when you all tried to pull the schizophrenia gag. And either way, continued criminalization is wrong, rationalized by pure politics and gangland economics, with no more science than you will find in astrology.

    He made a conscious decision to ignore the evidence that pot makes one more aggressive for a short time immediately after consuming/smoking.

    :-) Nice troll, since there is absolutely no reproducible scientific evidence to back that up. That bandwagon ran into the ditch a long time ago, and the horse pulling it has died. Plan to stop beating it any time soon?
