Well then why not sue the country responsible for setting up the conditions that enabled ISIS to be formed in the first place?
Well that would actually be a good idea. The only problem with it is that there is no *single* country responsible here. The entire world (including but not limited to the 'western' and 'islamic' country's) just stood by and let this happen. When the civil war broke out in Syria ~6-ish years ago, it should have been stopped right there and then. Instead, *everyone* had this 'not my problem' attitude, decided to turn away, and let it foster. In fact, the 'western' country's didn't even start caring about the issue whatsoever until the problem literally landed on their doorsteps, with refugees and terrorist attacks. Oh, *now* they want to solve it. And even now the proposed solution isn't even stopping the warfare in Syria and returning the country to a stable state: It is sought in stopping the refugees and terrorists from entering the 'western' country's; who gives a fuck what they do in Syria. 'Not my problem'.
Can't they trace the money to the bank account? Find out who's bank account it is, etc?
Well I am not familiar with the details in this specific case, but judging by past scams I assume that they are using multiple bank accounts, and setting up other people in vulnerable groups (drug addicts, homeless people, etc.) to use their accounts for them. Then when you 'follow the money', you end up at the people that have been used by the scammers, and not the scammers themselves.
Slightly off-topic, but: Over here in Holland, the latest scamming technique is for criminals to send generic 'illegal download copyright infringement notices' (without specifying any particular download) letters to people via snail mail, claiming to be from 'DutchFilmWorks (DFW)', which clearly is not the sender of the letters. However, the company does exist, and is one of the largest (independent) movie distributors in Holland, which helps to make it seem like legitimate notice. The letters claim the fine is 100,- euro per illegally downloaded movie, but that the fine can be prevented by paying 50,- euro within eight days to the bank account number of the criminals. How many people have fallen for the scam is currently unclear.
If you are unable to reproduce the results of a certain study, it appears to me that there may just not be enough knowledge of all the factors that affect the end result. For example, if you study something believing the main factors that determine the outcome are 'A', 'B', and 'C', but do not have the insight (yet) that factor 'D' is also very influential, then factor 'D' may have value '1' for the original study but value '2' for the reproduction study, influencing the end result and resulting in the different outcomes. This does not mean that the 'scientific method' is incorrect, or that the research was 'fake' or 'sloppy'. It just means that more research is needed, to determine those missing factors that determine the results, leading to (more) accurate and reproducible studies.
I have no sympathy. Civilians owning guns is entirely unnecessary. People keep doing it only because they are addicted to it, not for any other positive reasons. It can go entirely without any objectively negative impacts whatsoever.
So much for the feminazis out there claiming that there is no difference between a male and female brain, and that what constitute gender is nothing but a social construct.
Not 'identical', but 'equivalent' sums it up for me. And yes, I have heard feminists state this. Just because men and women are not the same, that does not mean that they do not have equal value.
Since the cell tower's logs and phone numbers were obtained legally and transparently through a court order, I don't particularly see the problem here. I would if they had been obtained without a court order, in secret, by using a hack or a stingray device or something similar, but that isn't the case here.
The driver was going over 155 kilometers per hour (roughly 96 miles per hour) on a road where the maximum speed is 80 kilometers per hour (roughly 49 miles per hour), and the car was not on autopilot. Dutch stroy here, and google translation here.
Hey, I'm an European, and I welcome this. Apache is widely used, and it's security is for the common good. At the very least, this is a step in the right direction. The only downside I can think of, is that Apache is already heavily scrutinized by both static analyzers and 'real human being' audits, so it this particular choice may be of limited use. Still, a mayor step forward in my opinion.
Sorry, but this article is about overclocking, which - by definition - means pushing the hardware beyond the specifications of the vendor. You choose to do something with it, that the vendor did not intend. If you choose to push the hardware beyond the specifications provided by the vendor, then the results are solely your responsibility too. You may feel that, because you bought and own the hardware, it's up to you to do whatever you wish with it: but that only goes so far. If you choose to set the hardware on fire - because you feel that it's your unalienable right to do with it whatever you want - and then you proceed to stick your hands in it (ouch, that hurts!), then that's entirely your fault, and not the fault of the hardware vendor.
I wonder if there are any differences between the 'open source' ('crippleware') and the 'paid for' versions, or if the open source version is the 'full' product ?

This is the *only* way we can even hope to held the enablers responsible for their actions: financially.
EFI and UEFI is the core firmware for Macs, the Mac equivalent to the Bios for PCs.
Not just for Mac's: All current PC's use UEFI - instead of BIOS - as well as Mac's do.

The papers did not prove that PPIs cause the problems.
So, click-bait, then ?

The summary and article says:
"it reduced the methane in the cows' burps and farts by about 20 per cent"

Hold up, we have found the culprit: the SMARFs did it.
So education is 'weaponizing' now ? ./ editors : stop making overly sensationalist headlines. Please.
