The two football players charged received juvenile detention sentences of one and two years. One of the hackers, on the other hand, faces 10 years in prison."
Come back if and when the hacker actually receives a longer sentence than the rapists. Then you've got a story.
And my mom chose to believe what she felt God was telling her instead of what the doctor was telling her.
Thousands of other people die doing exactly the same. Were they not good enough to be saved? Sometimes people get lucky, and for some reason some people just can't accept this and have to invent some driving force behind the supposed miracle to literally sing their praises to, and mumble at in a cold building once a week.
In numerous cases, her intuition was right and he was wrong.
Sorry, but when it comes to medical treatments, your mom does not count as "numerous cases." She is one case of many, and quite likely an outlier. How many other people have disregarded their doctor's advice, used their own intuition, and subsequently died horrible painful deaths? You wouldn't be here telling us the story if that had happened (as it sadly has to so many people).
Statistically speaking, you're an idiot if you play the lottery. Any mathematician will tell you not to do it. Yet somewhere out there, at least one person usually wins, and for that one person, it's a wonderful bit of luck that wouldn't have happened if they'd listen to the statisticians. But it's random chance.
Here's another one. If a thousand people around the world toss a coin ten times, statistically speaking it's likely that one of them will get ten heads. If that person came here and wrote a post like yours, proclaiming it a miracle and praise be to the FSM, can you see why we'd be right to dismiss it? If so, why shouldn't we dismiss your anecdote as evidence of nothing but random chance?
And he changed his treatment methods after her success even though it didn't make logical sense, because it had the best results.
If that's really true, I don't want him having anything to do with the treatment of me or my family members.
(Incidentally, that's HOW he became the world's foremost expert on her condition.)
Incidentally, that's why we have bullshit like homeopathy. It "worked" once or twice, by coincidence, and people seized on it with both hands and won't be disabused of the ridiculous notion despite all the subsequent scientifically gained evidence that it's rubbish.
When it comes to the oil and gas industry, this means that any agreement an Amish farmer makes with a company is, for the farmer, practically unenforceable.
In case anyone was wondering, and would prefer not to have to read TFA to find out what TFS is teasing about, the agreement made was to lease land to an oil company for $10/acre. The potential for a lawsuit comes about because the agent told them this was about the best price they could get - when the actual answer was more like $1000/acre - thereby, the article alleges, committing fraud.
It could've been the Beverly Hillbillies/Witness mash-up I've been longing for, but alas.
How a post that "Help, I am ignorant and unwilling to google" got modded up I will never know.
Perhaps because most people think you shouldn't have to head to another website to even glean the most basic understanding of what a summary about or where the events detailed are taking place. Having to infer which field of science the summary relates to based on the title of the source is pretty poor, too.
Yesterday, Georgia Power announced that they successfully lifted the first part of the Vogtle Unit 3 containment vessel into place.
Ah, good. What? This is presumably something to do with nuclear power - as it's come from Nuclear World News - but are they building a reactor or a waste site?
Is this Georgia, the U.S. state? Or Georgia the country, perhaps? Or is it actually somewhere completely unrelated to anywhere called Georgia, but where the company called Georgia Power just happen to be working?
When I was a rugrat, "bottom head" was just something I called my brother when he was being mean.
Why would I spend more on a TV for features I don't want and don't plan to use?
There is still such a thing as a non-smart TV. Eventually the smart ones will get cheap enough that they'll stop making non-smart, but you still (probably) won't be forced to use the smart features.
But once it is known that the hard drive is yours, then decrypting the hard drive is not self incriminating.
Which is, contrary to the impression this summary gives, what I thought the sticking point was before the decryption of the first drive - not the absence or presence of CP. Once they decrypted the drive, they were (or so I've understood) able to show that the drives did belong to the accused, which hadn't established before.
You don't have to provide keys\combo for a safe, you don't have to open your door, and you don't have to give out your encryption keys to your hard drive.
But can you - should you - be charged with obstruction and/or held in contempt of your court if you don't?
When I read about this story before, I thought the sticking point was not "whether or not any of the drives had any CP" but "do the drives belong to the accused?" They were only able to establish that to a high degree of certainty after decrypting the first hard drive.
Even with classic shell installed, that flaw is not fixed.
Bypassing Metro and booting straight to desktop fixes it pretty well as far as I'm concerned. If and when I find myself a) using Windows 8 myself and b) unable to do without some Metro-only app, I'll have to come up with a new plan, but until then, problem solved.

Captain Pedantic cares not for your petty need for answers. Foolish human.
This begs the question
No, no it doesn't.

What's your stance on pooping?
(It would really suck to not to have science in my toolbox!)
I leant my science to my brother when he needed to fix his supercollider. Jerk still hasn't given it back.
What, you've never been sad to see a friend leave, even though you know you're going to see them again at an indefinite future time?
They'll cry and mourn because they know their faith is false.
You're assuming humans are purely rational - worse, you're assuming they're purely rational when it comes to handling emotions. They're not.

How nice of them not to implement biometric identification. Yet.
I honestly read that as "Minecraft." Bored now.
TFS has left out the rather pertinent fact that the "Texas banker" is the same Beal who came up with the conjecture in the first place.

Or just don't connect it to the network and save yourself the trouble of having to buy a separate STB and speakers. And getting up to turn it on.

Right now it is. What about the ragtag bunch of misfit librarians who are all that's left after the zombie apocalypse?
They burned all the books for warmth and to keep the zombies away.

Sadly true, in the end. He nailed with that bit you've quoted though. Practically prior art for Kinect.
