The sheepdogs are always going to be more dangerous than the sheep.
When the "sheepdogs" are dangerous to the sheep, we tend to call them "wolves".
When sheep attack the sheep dog we call them wolves (in sheeps clothing) too. when a sheepdogs gets repeatedly attacked they may start getting defensive.
Usually the police sees the other guy reach for something [into pocket say] which may be a gun. So here it's a question of kill or get-killed situation. In a split second the office has to decide if his life is more important or to use a non-lethal like taser and avoid a killing.
You can't solve this with non-lethal unless office knows for sure he can't be harmed (ie 100% sure.. just a bullet-proof vest won't cut it]. This can only happen if the officer is fully armoured or say sitting in a safe building and operating a robot like machine [like a remotely operated drone attack]
That is why when you are stopped by a police officer you move slowly and in a non-threatening manor and tell him where and what you are reaching for before you do so. If you have a weapon in the vehicle/on your person tell them in a non threatening manor and tell them where it is and give them your concealed carry permit (if you don't have permit why are you carrying a weapon stupid). I was taught this by my parents when I was growing up. If you don't give them a reason to suspect they are in life or death danger they are far less likely to shoot you.
They all know who the bad ones are and don't dime them out.
Ergo they are all 'bad ones'.
I'm with Frank Serpico, '10% of cops are absolutely crooked, 10% are honest, 80% wish they were honest'. Even the honest ones are dirty IMHO. They should turn in the crooks in blue, but don't.
The problem is the 80 percent will still protect the crooked 10 percent against the ten percent honest as they can be viewed as a shared threat to the "police tribe". Cops are a job that society needs, without the honest 10 it would be much much worse. The only option the good cops have is to play along in many cases so that they can continue to do the good the can.
OK, so we're mostly software geeks here who have a vague idea how the underlying digital hardware works. It's not surprising that we think of 'uploading' a mind into our limited area of expertise. But why?
Is there something wrong with biology and existing brains? We can grow brains. We are learning the first steps toward interfacing with them. Let's do what we can with real brains while adventurous explorers probe the distant frontier of digital brains.
Yes there is something wrong with our current hardware. the math coproccesor is shitty, our memory is prone to bitrot, and the network interface is nonexistant. And worst off all I have no means of making backups. Oh and the uptime is negligable i mean we have to shutdown at least once a day or our program becomes unstable and bugs start cropping up.
Maybe you appreciate being called a fuckwad by other men, but I don't.
I don't appreciate it if it is unwarranted, but I have acted like dick and before (everyone has at one point or another) and I have appreciated it when someone bluntly let me know.
You're joking, right? We routinely see front page articles telling us that we should all own more guns. We routinely see discussions dominated by people shouting fact-free nonsense about abortion. We often see front page articles about how evil public schools are.
Of course, this is even more ambiguous than the previous one. I, for one, have no desire for the 'right thing' to be done to me, if an MBA is the one deciding it.
No it isn't the last motto "don't be evil" let them be chaotic neutral. With this they are stuck in the lawful alignment or possible the good alignments, depending on the relative alignment of the person interpreting it.
Not entirely true... you're assuming that a 3 oz. glass of anti-matter water is an impossibility:)
Yeah, but then you'd have six ounces. And the TSA has already impressed upon us that, although 3oz counts as completely harmless, more than three can take down an airplane!
if you did have three plus ounces of antimater on board it probably would.
It seems Google is ignoring those people who don't want a HUGE phone. The two models should have been the giant screened phone, and a smaller phone for those who like to actually be able to climb stairs with it in their pocket.
I do. I want a tablet that I can make phone calls from, I have a blue-tooth headphone/mic why not let me make calls and carry one device. Because the service providers won't let you get voice plan on a tablet; only data. So we are getting phablets that let people have small tablets that you can make calls from. It is an end run around the service providers by the manufacturers and customers that want one device. Once the Cellular service providers start letting you have voice on any device you will see a smaller phones and small tablets differentiate again.
No microSD, no thanks. You'd think Google would have gotten the memo by now.
yeah i am actually more interested in the new $50 amazon fire tablet because it has a fucking microsd slot. it don't need great specs on my tablet it is a consumption device I need storage, I have a massive media library and I can put a good chunk of the most used on it.
Not me. This place is so full of trolls and shills it's really not much fun any more. Discussions like this are OK, but if it has anything to do with Linux it'll be filled with all kinds of caustic anti-Linux comments from MS "evangelists".
To be fair though any article that mentions Windows pulls down all of the caustic anti-Microsoft comments from the Open Source equivalents.
It's bad enough that Android is essentially a spying device for Google but Windows has gone from the classic (and fair) model of money in exchange for software which does what's supposed to (and gets out of the way) to a device to push Microsoft's services and their mobile ecosystem.
I wouldn't be so pissed off if they had a "good" version of Windows which you had to pay for. I'd totally go for that.
The games are the only software tying me to Windows, I might have to start playing Linux-compatible titles only.
I already have been buying only titles with Linux support, Boarderlands 2/Pre-Sequal has a excellent ports as do the newer Civ titles.
Out of IP addresses? Sounds like a good time to invade somewhere where they mine them!
If you want to invade somewhere with a crap ton of IPv4 address how about the DOD? They have an entire class A. They have more address than a number of continents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Or how about big businesses?
IBM 9.0.0.0/8 General electric 3.0.0.08 HP 15.0.0.0/8 AND 16.0.0.0/8 Apple 17.0.0.0/8 Ford 19.0.0.0/8 Haliburton 34.0.0.0/8 Hell the the US postal system owns 56.0.0.08
There are far more than enough IPv4 address to last us several more years they are just sitting in the hands of people that don't use them appropriately. I am not saying that we should stick with IPv4, we need IPv6 in the long run it just should not be as urgent as it is becoming. What IANA should do is revoke their ownership of those addresses and give them 6 months or so to restructure their internal networks before assigning there addresses to the rest of the planet.
Slashdot Mirror
Most British households have an electric kettle, a large jug with a 2-3kW heating element that heats the water to boiling point.
It takes about 2 minutes, or less if there's less water, so I don't see why it benefits from being remote controlled.
Cup of tea, anyone?
As some one that drinks a lot of tea, why not just use a stove top kettle?
Less guns means less gun violence.
maybe true if only tautologically.
instead you will see a rise in beatings, knifing and other forms a violence.

oddly enough the libertarian party supports gun ownership and gun rights.
We would lucky to have a president with half the integrity or Richard Nixon again.
if that isn't a sad commentary I don't know what is.
Wait... are you trying to suggest that a government would put the interests of big businesses and millionaires before that of the people?
Actually.. upon half a second of reflection I have now come to the conclusion that you're right.
please say you didn't just type that with a straight face?
Then she turned in to Daenerys Targaryen and has a T-800 of her own.
Yeah I thought I saw Cersei Lannister fighting a T-800, but i guess the timeline changed and now its Daenerys.
Sorry, now it's "Do the right thing."
Of course, this is even more ambiguous than the previous one. I, for one, have no desire for the 'right thing' to be done to me, if an MBA is the one deciding it.

From the article,
"If you haven’t registered for the site, and thus can’t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews."
Thus if you never register, you're invulnerable to bad reviews.
Alternatively like everyone that will troll the shit out of this sight sign up under a pseudonym.
Racist gene sequencing software.
And who is surprised the Racist's gene sequencing software is German.
those would be gnu projects not linux foundation projects which would be the Linux kernel, Xen hypervisor, and other projects

TrueCrypt encrypted volumes remain no more or less vulnerable because of this. But, you still should not be using TrueCrypt.
Then what should I be using, O wise one?
any of the forks
VeraCrypt
and
CipherShed
are examples
Introverts? Do you Mean Slashdot users?
I believe you will find that they are congruent or if not that at least slash-dot users are a subsection there of.
