  1. Re:Minecraft has emerged as the sandbox game of th on Docker Turns To Minecraft For Server Ops (sdtimes.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    What's it like having the brain of a 10 year old?

    Its great, I keep it in a jar on the shelf.

    When quantum encryption is outlawed both outlaws and law abiding citizens will simultaneously both have and lack quantum encryption.

  3. Just the audacity of them makes me pissed off.

    Quite scary

    Only if you are a complete moron. How is it any more scary than any other communication that is not being traced?

  5. Not necessarily in every case. A lot of conditions can be treated by a lot of drugs in the same families, such as NSAIDs and antibiotics. A pharmacist probably couldnt tell you which NSAID is best. Usually a doctor tries the cheapest one first (to help the patient since most have to foot at least part of the bill), then switch them up if the desired effect doesn't happen.

  6. I wonder, are there any rules about marketing people directly marketing off-label uses for drugs? I know a lot of doctors prescribe drugs for things not directly listed as uses. And sometimes it is useful; what might be "side effects" for one patient, might be beneficial for another. Can a marketer say "the drug's primary use is for X, but we know a lot of doctors are using it for Y"?

    I suppose you are right and you could calculate it on the fly, but with the cost in dollars and lives on the line if something goes wrong, you have to be sure everything is right before you touch the throttles.

  9. Also, given time, both Japan and Germany's peoples realized that they were wrong. I don't think these Daesh assholes will ever figure it out.

    But I am sure people said that about the Japanese 70 years ago.

  10. You really hit the nail on the head there.

    Or the head with a nail, or whatever.

    Err, wait I am thinking of reverse-phrenology.

  11. Slashdot posts can be
    very deceptive when you

  12. The show quite often would start with a conclusion and work back from there. But the fact that they had the participation of law enforcement and the polygraph industry made it quite clear on this one.

    Lie detector results are always backed up by empirical phrenological data. Lie detectors don't lie. /s

    You lie.

    The settings for takeoff should be known before you try it. You would want to know if the airplane was capable of taking off before you start to roll down the runway.

  17. Yeah, US policy makers are still fighting the cold war. Everyone is either Red or Blue, there is nothing in between, and our allies would never fight each other and our enemies would never cooperate.

  18. It might be that ISIS knows that Israel has no qualms about sending the lot of them straight to hell if they get involved.

    Or perpahs it is becuase they don't need Israel as an enemy. Most of the people in ISIS held territory already hates Israel and wants them dead. Spending resources attacking them won't provide any new converts.

    Now, attack France, UK, United States, Russia... the response will be bombs dropped from the sky... which ISIS actually needs. This is how they create new terrorists in those countries.

    Of course, the solution isn't to simply "ignore them". I don't know how to break the hate cycle. Maybe it can't be done.

    How about make the jetpack the firehose like those water jetpack things. I don't suppose it would be very effective, but that isn't really the point.

    This is what happens when these things are run by people that majored in gender studies instead of actual science. They have to find sexism in everything, else their degree becomes useless and their jobs become redundant.

  22. Re:In line with current US thinking on Prison Hack Shows Attorney-Client Privilege Violation (theintercept.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, being incarcerated is proof you are a criminal, therefore you don't need rights or due process?

    Perfect, just lock everyone up without a warrant. Then use the fact they were locked up as proof they are criminals.

  23. Re:!? The federal Constitution limits the federal on Prison Hack Shows Attorney-Client Privilege Violation (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    Constitutional rights don't end because the government had a 3rd party do the illegal stuff. In this case the 3rd party company is acting as an agent of the government.

  24. Parallel Construction on Prison Hack Shows Attorney-Client Privilege Violation (theintercept.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is why parallel construction was invented. So you can perform all kinds of illegal NSA-style surveillance to get "evidence", then have someone else construct a case around it while not knowing about the surveillance.

    Convenient.

    Or, if well all refuse to preorder broken games that have zero-day DLC, they will start to fix the games and reduce the bullshit.

    Right now there is no incentive for companies to even release good games, let alone working ones.
