    According to wikipedia - it's only been used to veto 5 times.

    What's funny about "Christians" who believe this is - the rapture really isn't talked about in the same detail in the Bible as films like Left Behind (and many others) portray.

    It's the worst kind of swindle from evangelicals - where they are simply making up theology as they go.

    Its the same rules in the US (except reversed) - if you watch the video:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    The car is in a right turn only lane - the bus didn't have to yield at all - however there aren't clear lane markings. Also the bus was only going 15 mph. Very clearly a moving violation.

    Even if it was a parking lane like others have suggested (which its also illegal to be parked so close to an intersection) - the person parked has to yield to moving traffic.

    FF7 to me was one of the first games that tried to be bigger than itself - and pulled it off - it was an extravagant cinematic/multimedia experience and one of the first of its kind to do so successfully.

    The scene with Aeris death still makes me cry.

    One of the more recent google self-driving car accidents where they ran into a city bus - the car pulled from a right turn only lane into a traffic lane and didn't see a 30 ton city bus traveling normal speeds.

    While I admit I do have blind spots - busses usually don't hide in them - especially when performing what is essentially an illegal moving violation (if I'm going to try to pull off something that dumb I'm usually a bit more alert about what I'm going to hit).

    I don't think its a hard fact that businesses need to profit. We need to get over ourselves that everyone has to make a dime off everything for simply showing up as a middleman (which at this point is all health insurance companies are really doing).

  11. Re: Please don't hurt me. on Torvalds Opposes Tying UEFI Secure Boot to Kernel Lockdown Mode (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Serious question though - how do you as a Linux user protect physical security of the machine - say in the event someone breaks into your house/office without your knowledge, and installs a bootkit?

    I remember the guy who discovered all the Mac "ThunderStrike" vulnerabilities said in a presentation - Secureboot would have protected against that attack - and that was a vulnerability that could have been applied in the time it takes for you to turn your head at a coffee shop, talk to someone and turn your head back to continue using your computer (which is now compromised).

  14. Cambridge Analytica wasn't just about collection data - it is about weaponizing it. Watch the channel 4 documentary about this - its rather shocking what they tell a potential client what they have done and what they will do for him

    They don't - the guy who wrote this article has no idea what he's talking about.

    I suspect what happened is they installed facebook via the windows store on another PC and the default behavior is to sync/install apps (kinda like Android/iOS). And since store apps use oAuth 2 which Windows 10 supports - it can chain the authentication.

  24. Compared to the amount of heat and flux required to solder without lead (minute amounts as well)? It may be a tossup.

    Also add that rohs has made electronics more unreliable - which means more of this stuff ends up in landfills (without lead, but plenty of other harmful chemicals) I'm not totally positive its a good thing - or at the very least a slam dunk.

    Also lead free makes reworking way more difficult - the heat requirements for reworking bga components makes it pretty much impossible to do with lead free solder - or at the very least way more expensive and risky - which just means more junk for the landfill.

  25. Or blame ROHS and not using leaded solder.
