And the keyword is "before". As we all know, 9/11 changed everything.
Before, a hijacking meant an unplanned trip to Cuba or an inconvenient delay on the tarmac while the hijacker negotiates for ransom money. (And the hijacking situation was probably more convenient than some flight delays) . So sit back, relax, and do what they tell you.
The TSA recently changed policies to allow pocket knives, nail clippers, hockey sticks, and box cutters back on planes. Box cutters, you'll remember, were used on 9/11/2001. The reality is, many prohibited items pass through security on a daily basis. You've heard stories about people the TSA failing their own security checks (fake bombs, guns, etc). You probably haven't heard any stories about the TSA actually stopping a terrorist. This is not because they're too modest to tell anyone.
All is not lost, since cockpit doors are still locked during the flight and passengers know a plane hijacking no longer means "free trip to cuba" but "you will die" which changes the dynamic (c.f United Airlines flight 93).
Youtube used to have a redirect bug so I have seen youtube goatse links on slashdot. And there's plenty of gag-inducing content on wikipedia, even without someone maliciously editing it.
His math is based on 1/500 (.2%) being infected. So you test 500 people and 6 people (1% of 499 + 99% of 1) test positive. But 5/6 of them are false positives and only 1/6 is a true positive (16%).
What about the 99% (495) that were found to be infection free? He wants to ignore that and pretend it has no value.
Consider this: You go out clubbing. There are 500 hot girls at the club and you know that 1 of them is a dude in drag. 99% of men have an adams apple but only 1% of women have adams apple (Hmm, maybe the zombie apocalypse is a more accurate scenario for slashdot...)
Anyhow, a girl asks if you want to hook up. If she doesn't have an adams apple, you know she's a girl. But if she does have an adams apple, there's a 16% chance she's a dude. You don't want to have sex with a dude. But if you accuse a chick of being a dude, she won't hook up.
Statistics guy would go home and masturbate. Real world guy would hook up with a chick that doesn't have an adams apple.
So, in a population of 500 people, 1 is infected. The test (99%) will finger 5 people, 4 of them are false positives. He then claims it's no good because 4 will die so 1 can live.
But it's really 4 dying vs 496 living.
Or, you could just isolate and lock them up for a couple days. 1 dies (as he would) and 4 are inconvenienced a bit.
Is it statistics or the contagion that makes people stupid?
Quora started out as a useful q/a site but they're now expert sex change 2.0. I.e., if you don't log in, you can only view the first answer. They've also done some questionable things wrt privacy (the founder is a former facebooker) like showing a list of all questions you've read.
Opera is now Google's bitch -- dependent on Google for search bar revenue, dependent on Google for the Browser itself. They're Chrome with some slightly different, well, chrome.
Google says they're forking for technical reasons -- Google uses a different thread model and security model than Apple and making a hard break makes for easier maintenance. If they're going to keep both rendering engines around and updated then there would be no reason to fork in the first place.
I read your answer earlier but it left some unanswered parts. Are they a spin-off company? Did their employee have any previous relationship with IV? Did they approach you requesting that specific patent? How did they end up buying it?
Any advice for those of us that are tired of trolling slashdot and want to take it to the next level by trolling patents?
MySQL AB could dual-license MySQL because they owned the copyright on the code (outside contributors had to assign their copyrights over). Oracle owns the MySQL copyrights now. MariaDB, as a fork of the GPL code, is only available with a GPL license. He can't relicense it.
I was going to buy your book set but then I found out that you had it printed in China. Also, IV is a scumbag company so that's another factor in my decision not to buy your book. My question: when you're sucking on a cock, do you ever reach around and stick your finger up your partner's asshole?

usenet (comp.text.tex) is also a good source. LaTeX and TeX are timeless. Because they had the same problems 30 years ago.
Actually, it's more like going back to anything Pascal in the late 70s.
Microsoft owns a 1.6% stake in facebook. Bing it for more info.
Might also want to ask the local police department for instructions on proper baton usage.
Yes. Instead of a baton, use a cattle prod.

Maybe he wishes Microsoft hadn't done Windows 8?
As they say, lies, damn lies, and statistics.

More worrisome, what about AdultFriendFinder, xtube, NAMBLA online forums, etc?

I had a bad experience with Brown's Starfish.
Also, it was made by asians, so it thinks all white people look the same.
I believe Postgres and many other BSD projects refused to use the OIN and other "FREE"-pledged patents.

10 paragraphs? Yeah right. Fake APK is 15 page downs. real APK is 20 page downs.
If I'm going to spend money on a game, I'd like to actually play it.
Wrong APK :)
