ECT is still a standard treatment, the most effective treatment for a number of mental problems. I've had it as have a lot of people (it's far from unusual). Of course that's a "modern" variant that includes sedation and muscle relaxants which normally at worst gives some muscle ache (due to convulsions), a headache (due to increased blood pressure) and temporary amnesia.
Unlike your description ECT, insulin shock treatment and ice baths weren't used for torture but because they provided real positive effects. Lobotomy is a completely different thing but I have to mention that it is still used in a few exceptional cases.
Amphetamine psychosis? How about providing any study that shows this being an issue when treating ADHD? I can't find anything but my search skills may be lacking. It is an issue when abusing amphetamines however ADHD is treated with much lower doses than is required to provide recreational effects.
UID isn't indicative of age, just of when the user registered here. Your memory problems aren't shown to be linked to your amphetamine use. No evidence is presented that it isn't the underlying condition that was treated with amphetamines that cause these effects and not the treatment itself. You have not shown that those problems aren't caused by other things, there are a lot of things that can influence mental performance including memory. There is no evidence that you actually have worse memory than is normal for others in the same age group. You are trying to draw conclusions from (probably) non-verified data of sample size one. Most likely self-reported which of course have a huge amount of biasing.
As are the other countries listed. Nobody should care what "some people in the US" thinks as they are generally badly informed and don't know the meaning of common words. Not limited to people in the US of course.
Spectre is there for all processors with more than the most trivial support for speculative execution. Yes that includes all modern computer processors.
Meltdown is limited to Intel, some IBM designs and some ARM designs.
Spectre is a collection of related exploits some of which are very hard to use on AMD architectures but not impossible in theory. Meltdown isn't however a problem for AMD but this Chrome design isn't intended to combat Meltdown.
No manufacturing precision is the problem not the design itself. Make the keys consistent size and the hole for the key sized accordingly. But in the real world the problem of crap and crud accumulating can be a problem so the key holes have to have some distance from the key itself _or_ be absolutely perfect (tolerating crap vs rejecting it completely). Keys can't wobble much in any case however that's not a problem in any higher quality keyboard.
If you weren't a lazy bastard you'd click on the relevant link to see that this study was commissioned by a company. But you are, so you waste a lot of bandwidth just to be a POS.
Just as people snitching on child abusers, robbers, rapists, violent thugs is bad! If people want to risk the life of others and behaving dangerously they should be able to without being being told on by stinking rats!
If this continues drunks can't safely drive home on the wrong side of the road anymore. Incredible.
Of course not. Trolling is posting with the intention of generate responses. If someone have an unpopular opinion it doesn't necessarily mean he/she/it* intend to create an argument with many participants.
Not even then. Style, arguments used, topics replied to, time of posting etc. all make most contributors unique. Sure, fire off one post per month and people will most likely not recognize you unless the topic + arguments used are standing out too much.
How come that we in the West, who for half a century fought dictatorships with population surveillance and control, now willingly and without resistance walk into an unprecedented surveillance society?
We do?
The reasons cited ("budget cuts, falling officer numbers, rising demand and the terror threat") are not exactly new. Why is public face recognition, fingerprint recording and opening and reading mail acceptable nowadays?
Face recognition: the technology exist now. There exist good reasons for using it. It can be argued to reduce the privacy violation in general while improving tracking of known criminals and associates of criminals. Fingerprinting and reading mail... Are you serious? If anything there are more protections in place now that for instance in the 70's. The difference is that technology can help catch people already searched for.
Was the Ted Kazinsky correct in his prediction of the control society, that our modern society requires ultimate control of its citizens to function in an (post-)industrial setting and that our freedoms therefore must be taken away from us?
No. He is a highly intelligent person with personality and behavior disorders. He is also a murderous idiot with illogical ideas born out of his personal failures of accepting the real world for what it is.

Grow up.
I think you just did that without the drugs...

One thing for sure: you aren't a scientist.

Their assets can still be seized to pay for the fine. Standard procedure.

A 5 year old computer is slower than a new one? I' m shocked.
Are you an extreme narcissist looking at a black screen?
Any intelligent state have no interest in "military confrontation" (read: war).

Absolute garbage, even reading the /. blurb is insulting.
Then the humans made a mistake when designing the computer _or_ operated it incorrectly (e.g high altitude).
Yes, it isn't civilized.

What? ECT is still widely used all over the world and it never turns anybody "into vegetables". Stop spreading bullshit please!
