    So you're saying that this guys scam should be legal and we should have illegal tools for balance. Brilliant, Clarence Darrow!

    Umm he did the original BL and aliens and Gladiator and Exidus and 2001 and eyes wide shut. I think he has lots of chops!

  8. Re:Fritz Haber on 100 Years of Chemical Weapons · · Score: 1

    I would also question the idea of Haber developing artificial materials using the Haber process.
    It made ammonia which is a naturally occurring compound and ammonia made by the Haber Bosch process is identical in all ways to that which is formed by nature.

    yes this is the very exact point. Before Haber you had to haul saltpeter across the globe to have the materials you needed to make fertilizer and dynamite. After Haber one could make as much of this stuff as you wanted without needing the natural materials. think of it more as a supply chain problem and solution.

    Also there's not really a difference between dynamite and tnt.

    nobel's invention was limited because it required naturally-occurring saltpeter. haber developed artificial materials so the quantities were not limited by natural ingredients.

    Thank you for the clarification. I think the overall point still stands.

  12. Re:Fritz Haber on 100 Years of Chemical Weapons · · Score: 1

    yes it's crazy, no? Nobel invented the process of making TNT, but it required naturally-occuring saltpeter. Haber invented the process to make artificial saltpeter, which meant TNT could be made in a factory without needing to import the saltpeter from overseas. The same german factories that produced nitrogen fertilizer to make food also produced the TNT for war. the intersection of science and society is a weird place!

  13. Fritz Haber on 100 Years of Chemical Weapons · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Fritz Haber was an interesting guy. He won a Nobel Prize for synthesizing ammonia from atmospheric hydrogen and nitrogen. This was the basis of nitrogen-rich fertilizer that basically fed the world by making crop lands more productive. But he also developed the chlorine gas for the german govt and advocated for its use. Two weeks after the first chlorine gas attack his wife killed herself with his service revolver after an argument over its use.

    Yosemite beta one messed with my mailbox such that I couldn't load any of my desktop mail. This wasn't fixed until Yosemite public beta 3. But I can't get mad, it was beta software and they fixed it before the open release.

    You "data" is still anecdote. Presumably, a smart person could actually do a data analysis of the forum posts to find how a particular piece of software compares against others. But this would require extraordinary rigor to do defensibly.

  19. Re:It is not about technology on Ask Slashdot: How Can Technology Improve the Judicial System? · · Score: 1

    What you're hinting at in both examples but not saying outright is the need for lawyers, which means money. Our current regilatory and justice system requires people to hire a lawyer. This has nothing to do with access to records and won't change regardless of the technology used.

  20. *beta* program on Apple Will Let Users Test iOS Beta Versions For the First Time · · Score: 1

    I hope people take this with a grain of salt and remember that this is an old-school beta program, in which the software *mostly* works, but many eyes are needed to make the final bugs shallow. Google and others ruined the term by calling so many products "bata" for years after their wide introduciton. As a result, during Yosemite's open beta last year, people we're complaining that the software "wasn't ready for prime time". No kidding!

    I'm pretty sure all regulations are available on the internet. you're right, it's harder to access cases for free, although it can be done. but considering that if you have a real need to be doing case research, you likely have a lot of money on the line anyway, there's no real fault to paying a bit to access cases online.

    also there's systems for filing case briefs online.

    it's true the prosecutor gets paid to get convictions. the heart of the justice system is the adversary system. for every prosecutor there's a defense lawyer, who's paid to get guilty people off regardless of what they've done.
