considering all the pressure for women to stay thin specifically so they look good for men
With all due respect, don't blame me for your problems. If you want to accomplish something useful, start ignoring the stereotypes.
Don't sit around bitching about how much time you spend trying to make yourself look good to men then complain when a company creates products to fulfill your obsession. Men aren't your problem, you are.
There is simply nothing I can say to anyone who hasn't done it... stepping out of an airplane at 13,500 feet above the ground, parachute on your back, nothing but you, the sky, and God
If God was there, you could have tried it without the parachute.
"Communist" and "Terrorist" are just labels used as excuses to exert control over the population because the leadership is fundamentally afraid of the populace. The Nixon tapes clearly demonstrate Nixon's paranoid fear. Other leaders share the same fear, though not the same paranoia hence there is no public demonstration of said fear. The new leadership (the wealthy business oligarchs) are afraid because if people recognized the level of control under which they live, they would likely revolt.
The US has taken and used the Nazi propaganda model of polarizing the population in opposition to something and using this for the benefit of the nation as a whole. It was during the second world war that the US discovered the productive power of focussing the populace on a common enemy. The NEOCONs have just taken this to a whle new level by controlling all forms of mass media and religious discussion in conjunction with political ideology. By controlling the information, the terms "communist", "terrorist", "pirate" and hosts of others can gain traction as a mechanism for the production of fear driving the populace to fight in common need for a goal suiting those promoting the fear.
Ignoring the harm this causes to the global view of the propagandists, you can say that the mechnism is a sound motivator. What has happened in modern America (which has happened countless times previously in failed dictatorships) is that the wealthy continue to accumulate unreasonable amounts of wealth at the expense of the poor. The poor rarely notice the problem until they're unemployed, lost their homes and are starving whilst being increasing oppressed by unreasonable regulations imposed by the leadership.
As one of few nations in the world capable of functioning effectively without electricity. This could perhaps be the most interesting attack North Korea could ever make. Let's hope someone leaks the loction of the SMH servers to them.
This is an incredibly good idea. And if it's good enough for science, it should also be good enough for government. Political campaign funding should be the first thing to be justified in relation to this 'national interest'. Military expenditure, committees, homeland security, the CIA, the NSA, secrecy, court appointments, taxation, the TSA, body scanners, laws.. well, just about everything should meet this criteria shouldn't it?
I suppose that if the politicians were required to be held up to their own standards, who would be making the judgement? Hmmm what a pickle hey!
they'd rather make a permanent enemy of all the decent journalists in the world
Unfortunately with the current low point in the world market for decent journalism, all of them have been forced to live together in a shared apartment in Idaho.

but I just want a button in FB
You should switch to Google+, Google+ has had buttons since day 1!
"Failed social media service Google+ has just had a massive influx of new members!"
where 3D sensors are likely to show up first in the Apple lineup
My bet is on the iPod shuffle. Adjusting the pounding base depending upon muscle constriction in the surrounding environment.
This'll confuse it
Even if the turn starts fine, and the jumper is the king of experienced up jumpers, other factors may come into play
What would a gust of air from the blades of a silent black helicopter do?
these people who appear "inconvenient" to the establishment seem to keep running into accidents, don't they?
I was just thinking .. if I was a security researcher, I'd give up skydiving.

outlining his strategy to improve people's lives
His resignation and suicide. But since he's put in such a fine effort to date, I'm inclined to be more leniant.
How is this distinctly more efficient than simply using sunlight to warm water, which evaporates, and collecting the fresh water that condenses?
It's patentable.
Must be a pretty terrible thing for those people living in the area. Good luck to the folks re-building their lives.
simply because nobody except me knew they existed

I do all of my shopping in Narnia. Apart from avoiding Google, I save an immense amount of money.
.. would the people of the United States have trust issues with the NSA?
What the FUCK is going on with this country?

Typos in both headline and submission. Well done slashdot, well done.
Bloody commies.

The announcement means eligible nonprofit organizations and public libraries can request Windows 8.1 through Microsoft's software donation program
It was an attempt to stop public libraries from upgrading their Windows desktops.

Shame about the software, but they'll eventually figure it out and stick to what they're good at.
then patents are subtracting rather than adding value to society
Blasphemy!
Based on not reading the article, is that probably there is not really an analogy with computing figured out in detail. Yet.
As a fellow uninformed member of the /. community, I'd like to second your notion and move for a vote.
All those in favor of calling Drew Endy nasty names, say "I"
how that jumped-up little fascist thinks he's going to prevent people in Britain from finding out
I think he's 184cm isn't he? That's not such a little fascist, it's more of a fairly sizeable fascist isn't it?
well on our way to the point of no return
what road are you on? I'd like to visit :D
