The ridiculousness is not limited to the Labour party; the Conservatives actually put a deluded believer into an *actual*, not shadow, ministerial position and to top it all it was minister for health.
The UK press has been full of negative comments about Corbyn, more so since he became leader this weekend, so why is Slashdot joining in? Why don't you run articles on the front pages of the Daily Mail, The Sun, etc. for today and yesterday? During the leadership campaign it wasn't just the right-wing press either since many Labourites didn't want him since they think that they can only regain government by being more like the Conservatives to the point that they are now frequently referred to as the "Red Tories".
Personally, I didn't care about the Labour leadership election because I think that the sooner Scotland can get away from the rest of the UK the better.
Not just medical insurance companies. But that will come when wearing of these devices are made mandatory, probably an argument along the lines of "well only terrorists *wouldn't* wear them". Then following an accident anywhere (on the road, place of work, whatever) the insurance company will be able to analyse the data about your physical state prior to the incident to find a reason why they won't pay.
Wearing such devices wouldn't ever be mandated, you say? Sure they will, bribe... I mean lobby, enough politicians and it will happen.
People wouldn't willingly concede even more freedoms to wear these things, you say? Yeah... right.
That was my thought. Common or garden avian flu has been associated with some human deaths. If any avians engineered to be resistant to that succumb to a virulent new strain then that could be fun.
When I say fun, I mean for the alien archaeologists piecing together what wiped out a civilisation.
A first glance miss read of that made me think it was the first use of the required new language metaphor; "the mammoth in the room". In my mind similar to "the elephant in the room" but even more glaringly obvious.
It takes no account of the irrational human animal.
Quite the contrary; there are a few economic think tanks around that take plenty account of that and "tailor" (is "completely fabricate" too judgemental?) data to totally agree with the political stance of their primary benefactors.
I recently watched a documentary on TV about an extended family living a remote existence somewhere in Africa. One of the men had a mobile phone and he was saying it was a day trip to walk to the nearest town to get it charged and he did it about once a week.
No, the police aren't our masters. Although they are paid to "serve and protect" us, the truth is that their interest is whatever the government tells them it should be and the governments get their instructions from whomever pays the ruling party most. The party, not the government. So pay all the parties that are likely to form governments and you will always get your way.
They were also trying to get a fetch-and-return lunar soil sample mission completed before Apollo 11 so that they could claim a small victory over the USA. It failed though. It was another year before they got a successful one.
The most telling statistic with the lunar rocks though is that 3 USSR robotic fetch-and-return missions amassed a total of some 300 grammes. In comparison the 6 Apollo missions amassed some 300 kilogrammes.
Some European countries are defining reserved sectors in the TTIP negotiations, like healthcare, so that some transnational corporation can't sue them over having to compete with an established national service. Others, like UK aren't having any reserved sectors. From the rush David Cameron seems to be in to get it approved I can only assume he is being very well rewarded.
Why you could write a Python script called CEO.py to do their job.
Maybe it's early yet but I was expecting to see reply posts about how the job is much more complex than that and can only be done by a gifted person and not just any old random Joe. I did consider that probably not many CEOs will have/. accounts but there seems to be plenty of people who are not CEOs that buy into that concept.
Slashdot Mirror
Tell me again how the USA currently gets humans into space...
The reaction was worse than when Kirk told the Star Trek fans to get a life.
Shatner surely. It would all be a bit meta for James Kirk to decry Star Trek fans.
On Caprica *all* the humans got nuclear missiles, the Cylons didn't differentiate.
As Tom Toro put it...
"Yes, the planet got destroyed, but for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."
Rate the chances of a reverse app to assist migrating from iPhone to Android making it into the Apple store?
I'll go with never.
MWoD instead of WoMD.

The correct question should be: by any chance is one of the officers assigned to drive it called Max Rockatansky?
I was thinking they have built something not unlike an infant human.
Summary says

which is pretty much what they're like when they master talking.

Yep, bringing back extinct megafauna with cloning and genetic engineering is no real worry.
It's the genetic engineering of microfauna that's more likely to go wrong and kill us all.

I read the statement linked in the summary and immediately wondered, what was the deleted tweet that brought the pressure on Twitter to do this?
I'm pretty sure there has to be one. Either that or someone with a lot of influence was worried that they might tweet carelessly.
I recently watched a documentary on TV about an extended family living a remote existence somewhere in Africa. One of the men had a mobile phone and he was saying it was a day trip to walk to the nearest town to get it charged and he did it about once a week.
Yeah, try that with a smart phone.
I've reset the PIN on a UK card. I'm pretty sure you can do it at most ATMs.

Most TV already is about "mind control".

Nah, that was lost but the Nibiruans will have more to hand over during Nibiru's next perihelion.

Prior art alarm! I'm pretty sure that was in the Conservative Party manifesto for the recent UK general election.

The Guardian were probably too scared at the thought of an Apple lawsuit to publish the actual text.
