but Virginia came first. Those guys got up to all kinds of mischief.
Have you seen Virginia lately??????
Anyway, the level of conservatism in the US is much higher than a lot of places in the world. Just take the reaction to Janet Jackson's nipple and nudity in general (think of the children!)
It would allow the Australian NSA access without violating those pesky laws they're supposed to follow...
What pesky laws are those? I'm pretty certain that governments already have the rights to inspect any goods that pass over their borders and to know the details of who is transporting them, where they came from and to whom they are going.
You have to deliver the package to the prison office for inspection before prisoners can receive the delivery.
I'll have you know that in Oz, having criminals in your family history who were deported to Australia is actually a bit of a status symbol. Especially if you can trace them back to the First Fleet. I'm a bit pissed, as I can't do that as all my ancestors were free settlers.
And the reason that the Brits started dumping convicts in Australia was partly because of some war or something that they had with a former colony that stopped them from sending the prisoners there.
And in the words of some comic (who I can't remember)
I'd rather live in a country founded by convicts, than one founded by Puritans
From personal experience I suspect that FB prioritizes the visibility of your updates by other people based on how frequently you post - thus rewarding those people who post the most (crap).
Standing next to the giant photo of Leah Thompson in her panties? I love that exhibit.
I don't know about Leah Thompson, but you can see a minimalistically dressed Lea Thompson on TV every Monday at the moment, cavorting around with a bunch of half naked guys.
GPS is great for telling you HOW to to another location. What it can't do is tell you WHY you want to go to that other location. On the other hand you can look at a paper map and go "That looks like a spot I WANT to go to".
The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent Federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident the United States and significant accidents in other modes of transportation – railroad, highway, marine and pipeline.
So if you have a beef with that mandate then fortuitously today is a day in the US where you can act on your beliefs.
Given that Virgin Galactic has yet to fly a single commercial flight, then these customers did not know what they were getting into.
What they paid for was a pure marketing promise, which may or may not match the real world experience if/when Virgin Galactic actually starts commercial operation.
Don't expect many people will be willing to pay for skipping the commercials, once they see how much extra it is. You can be certain that skipping commercials will cost you more than $20 extra, are you willing to pay even that?
Yet look at how much people are prepared to pay just for the convenience of having an always connected, portable computer in their pocket
You seriously expect me to believe that you didn't want your "regardless of the science" question to refer to your statement about her not having symptoms and testing negative for ebola?
What we have here is a failure to communicate.
Current science says she has no issue, and does not need to be quarantined.
Me saying "quarantined regardless of the science" is asking if you think that people should be quarantined even if the science says that they don't need to be,
Come on. Man up and admit when you get something wrong. That would be, you know, the scientific attitude.
If you don't understand the science, why do you expect those you disagree with to understand it?
When I say science, I also mean to include ALL the science around Ebola as reported by groups like the CDC. So if you think that you know something that they don't, do tell.
Do you mean the person who doesn't have any symptoms and has tested negative to ebola at least once? That person?
Are you suggesting that people should be quarantined regardless of the science? If so that sounds awfully like a knee-jerk reaction with echoes of police state detainment for no reason at all.
the thermoplastic "ink" will be the most expensive substance on Earth, by weight or volume. And protected by a DRM'd cartridge system. And declare itself "empty" at about 25% remaining, in order to "protect the printer from running dry".
You also left out that the "ink" levels will slowly decrease over time if printer is not used.
And that if you are out of one "color" you still won't be able to print anything at all - even if you don't need to use that "color"

I'm going to call you out as a fake Aussie. "Pissed" means drunk here (we say "pissed off"), and we never call the British "Brits".
Struth mate[1]. Don't come the raw prawn with me. Pissed can have multiple meanings, and you sound more like a whining pom than any brit.
And yeah .. I did bring the aerogard last weekend
[1] And if you don't know how to parse that, then I hope your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down.

If you can use a sextant, you got it made.
Only as long as you have an accurate chronometer that was correctly set. The sextant gives you North/South, but you need the chronometer for East/West

This is one of the many problems that Bitcoin solves.
How does Bitcoin force a company to do business with another company if they don't want to?
While I am all for commercial space programs, I am a bit confused why NTSB is involved at this point.
From the NTSB website:

Slashdot IS social media, which is why NSA and GCHQ created a fake Slashdot to hack into a Belgian Telecom company.
You dirty terrorists, you! Bad Slashdot! BAD!
I might agree with you there if the fake /. was Beta clone that was full of Bennett's rambling "articles" interspersed with Nerval's dicevertisiments.
On the other hand I also might feel sorry for the terrorists for being exposed to something like that.
A Google website only working with Chrome.
I'm shocked, I tell you. Just absolutely shocked. *LOL*
Normally 'd say "Pics, or it didn't happen", but I don't have Chrome installed.
Reliable servers don't just crash.
Thanks for reminding me .. I always forget to add this to my source code:
#define RELIABLE
This "article" could have just been jammed in the summary
Nerval = Dicevertisment
That says it all.

Funny a long-awaited APM drone controller app was just approved yesterday.

Man .. I want one of the drones use to test the software. The "Find My dDrone" screen says that it is 1300km from the users location!
You don't even have to check the links. The submitter is Nerval's Lobster, Slashdot's Dice-bot.
I just checked his profile and gave up before I could find a submission that did not contain a Dice link
