The above page, for example, discusess "seven state legislative strategies that have potential to impact prescription drug misuse, abuse and overdose," but none of these are about what the patient may do with medication.
Microsoft would reduce engineering in Beijing and San Diego and unwind engineering in Oulu, Finland.
I'd guess someone confused "unwind" with "wind-down," as in slow down (possibly to an eventual halt).
Then again, they might have meant "wind-up," as a business synonym for closing down/ceasing operations (with the implication that this is being done in a tidy manner, rather than abruptly being forced out of business).
Or perhaps they're winding-down before they wind-up.
as well as having extra length and mechanical advantage
Does it actually have a mechnical advantage?
and better still its far stronger and requires much more force to break.
Again, does it? Have you tried to break someone's leg, versus breaking their blade? Of course, one definite advantage is that if it does break, you just put on a new one, rather than spending months in rehabilitation.
But it's not like running with a blade doesn't have any disadvantages. Not having any ankle muscles is presumably one such.
A fool's drivel repeated often enough will some day end up in the lexicon, especially in the moden age of instant mass communications, but that does not make it correct.
Uh, actually it kinda does.
It's why we now call that tasty fruit an orange, and not a norange, for example.
And how much of an impact do you think that would actually have on the military's ability to do any of this stuff? Hint: it's about the same as the amount of damage a bulldozzer would suffer if it rolled right over you.
or anything defined as 'evil' by a FSF committee.
Trying to define an objective standard of something as subjective as "evil" is bad enough, but asking a committee to do it?!
I have a similar issue with my contacts, and was told it was for the same reason. The corrected area in both laser surgery and when wearing contacts doesn't cover the entire pupil when it's fully dilated, as it is in the dark. So I reach for the ever reliable specs when I want to go stargazing.
Right. Because posts like yours in response to what is actually quite an interesting and newsworthy event in the commercial space sector - and not just another crazy pipe dream from old man Musk - aren't masturbatory at all.
But with access to the source code, it's easily possible to verify that the binary supplied corresponds to the source.
Is it that easy? My understanding was that you'd at least have to have identical versions of the compilation tools to have any hope of coming close to a bit-for-bit match on the binary.
If you really want to do something about malware, disable javascript by default.
What if you want to do something about malware, but don't want the hassle of re-enabling javascript when you actually want it to work (because, contrary to popular belief, it can actually be employed usefully)? What if you're too lazy to install another piece of software, or just don't want to install another piece of software? What if, god forbid, someone has different an idea on what to do about malware to you?
"Automatic handling of pdf and ogg files" - I have a pdf reader already. I dont need another one
Well, good news! Because as you carefully omitted to quote, "...if no other software is available to do so." So it'll be just like you don't have another PDF reader.
TL:DR; this isn't how I use computers, therefore this isn't how anyone should use computers
Slashdot Mirror
out of the public domain
If you can see it from public property and tell what it is, it's (effectively) in the public domain, isn't it?
If it's supposed to be secret, and someone who shouldn't know where it is does, you've got a security leak.
I'd say Google's doing them a favour. If any of their secret installations turn up on it, you know it's time to shut them down or move them.
The laws that forbid you to abuse medications.
That's a tautology. Can you cite the laws or not?
The limits on their use are clearly labelled.
A label is not a law.
Have you just assumed that it's illegal to mis-use your own prescription meds?
Is it illegal to abuse legally obtained drugs?
Um.... Yeah, it is.
Taking it in any way that is contrary to the written prescription is illegal.
As another user asked above, can you cite the law that would be broken?

I'm not winding you up here.
The device is like a spring, so it stores energy
So... a bit like a tendon?

adding extra length doesn't make any sense one one side only
I think they mean it's longer because it's got the usual curving blade shape. He still stands the same height on it.
One thing that keeps runners from "opting into" this prosthetic is that mainstream surgeons are forbidden to perform elective amputations.
I'd think that the main thing that keeps runners from "opting into" prosthetics is that most people don't want their fucking legs cut off.
If the budget were to be increased to pay for everything on the space wish list, the rancor will cease.
That won't be enough. You need to drop a heavy door on it's neck.

You're either full of shit or your eyes are crap. I have a media player with an OLED display
I don't suppose it occurred to you that, perhaps, not all OLED displays are created equally?
Try engaging your brain before spouting invective next time.

Most people wouldn't even be able to flush their toilet because urban water supplies largely rely on electric pumps
Correction: they'd be able to flush once. Make it count!

Perhaps if you'd read more than the headline you'd see that this is not what IR remotes and lasers have been doing for ages, at all.
Seriously, saying "fiber optic cables from thin air" is an idiotic statement.
It's actually a pretty good summation of a very clever bit of engineering. What's your beef?
It's not original. And it's not creative. And it's certainly not funny anymore.
I agree. And yet, I recognise that this is just my opinion, and I don't expect everyone else to confirm to my sense of humour.
Right. Because posts like yours in response to what is actually quite an interesting and newsworthy event in the commercial space sector - and not just another crazy pipe dream from old man Musk - aren't masturbatory at all.
a lot more vertical than usual

You clearly know nothing about extrapolation. The more legs you break, the faster it goes!
Obviously the solution is to break one of your own legs to level the playing field.
Your welcome.
