I would expect administrators to remove this kind of racist rubbish from the site. No wonder the poster did it as anonymous coward. This kind of attitude has no place in civilized society
I concur. I've been hearing about Niggerbuntu for years and to date there is absolutely nothing; not even a beta. There's nothing worse than over-hyped vaporware in my opinion.
Duke Nukem Forever may have been a bust but at least they released it.
This is like a perfect recipe for a news story: (1) Low wage / Low IQ employees in a position of perceived authority (2) Young person with no perceived authority (3) Loose understanding of the laws and common sense (4*) Sexually embarrassing a teen (*only recommended for hardcore McDonalds recipes)
We all remember the "Pièce de résistance" during the McDonalds illegal strip search of a teenager... clearly the aftermath of that wasn't shocking enough to make a difference.
No wonder the USPTO is overloaded. If this is the garbage that qualifies as patent worthy.
I'm going to patent ass-wiping thresholds now. Once you've wiped your ass 10 times in one sitting and you're still not clean then something has gone wrong...
How about people that set up many PCs daily or weekly? Sure, home users aren't overtly affected by it but businesses are. Even automating it (IE: WSUS) still makes it a pain in the ass. "You would have had your new PC yesterday, but it's still updating Windows"
Anyone that installs multiple PCs and doesn't have a slipstream version deserves their punishment.
I can see quite a bit of value for the military use of drones. They put fewer pilots at risk, and it's probably cheaper to train a drone pilot than the a "real" pilot, although I could be wrong.
... so... are we allowed to shine green lasers at these since there is no real pilot?
How the f*&@ am I suppose to ignite matches across the room or pop black balloons without a high powered laser? Find realistic alternatives to those applications... only then can you start looking at banning lasers!
Basic laws of reality? Isn't science about increasing our understanding of reality? Many theories and ideas have come and gone and been replaced by more refined ones. We would be extremely naive to think our current understanding is even remotely close to all there is to know and completely correct. There is much to learn my friend.
No matter how much we advance our understanding of mathematics, 1+1=2 still holds. Some things are fundamental.
Good. That's a lot of money to be used to feed and provide health care to people.
In your dream, everybody know they will put the money in they shitty army based on quantity instead of quality.
You're both being silly... children and their education are what matters if the future of America has any chance. This money will be rightfully used to re-write text books to include creationism as a valid science.
Imagine a large part of the US population being over 200 years old and blocking new technologies at the voting booth.
Imagine? It's called religion and it doesn't require a 200 year old body. Their values are over 2000 years old and pass like a virus from host to host.
Writing code has little to do with "grammar" and more to do with logic. I wonder, how do you teach that in a day?
Pffft... "learning to code in a day"? During their lunch break they can take my new course: "learn how to become a marketing director in 10 easy minutes".
That guy sounds like dead weight. Maybe he should get his ass down there and start coding. He can start by fixing spelling errors in strings bundle:).
Electrical properties of living creatures are not really known for being stable, particularly among sick people, the intended users for this device. Good thing that the summary has so little to do with the paper, because the summary is pretty silly

In the ocean, they found 44.7 ng/L. "Caffeine concentrations in rivers and estuaries draining to the coast measured up to 152.2 ng/L." For those who like their numbers in ppm, I believe that's.0447 ppm and.1522 ppm, respectively. Sometimes I fail at math, though.
Serious question: Caffeine is a naturally occurring substance... were they expecting 0g / L? What is the natural amount of ocean water caffeine; otherwise it is hard to judge the extent of the impact.
How about the fact that every time I go in that store, there seem to be about 15 employees standing around the service desk bullshitting around doing nothing (and even more wandering around the store doing nothing), all while I have to stand in line forever at the ONE REGISTER that's open?
True story, Walmart actually beat the single open register, and I'm not joking.
Some of the Walmarts have an automotive department (Mr. Lube). Technically the same building but it is an add-on with separate tills, entrance, etc. I went in on three separate occasions and there was literally no one there. Once during a weekend, once during a weekday and once on a weeknight. The other departments would touch automotive and when I called in and got transferred to automotive the phone just rang and rang.
It was a sweet deal so I wanted to get it, but there was literally no one there to get the tires or pay. So technically there were ZERO REGISTERS open!
Bill Burr actually has a stand routine about grocery stores in the future. One day there won't be any staff out front. When that happens... "f*ck it, I'll just walk out without paying. I tried paying... but there was no one there..":)
...although they did try and convince me that "building your own is over, and its cheeper to buy an all in one"...
If you don't care about expandability or the quality of components; then he is correct. I technically haven't bought a new computer since the 90's. I just keep upgrading components when the price/timing is right for me. Although, nowadays you often have to buy the MB/CPU/RAM together so it almost seems like you're buying a new computer.
It does appear that a pre-assembled computer is cheaper, but they always include some junk I would never buy. A motherboard with no 16 lane PCIe (so you can't upgrade the video). Or an HDD where the next size up would have only cost $10 more for 50% more capacity, etc, etc. I know they're just trying to offload inventory at the lowest price point; which for 90% of people is all they care about.
So technically a pre-assembled computer is cheaper.
There's a lot of people who say things like this. The point of the article is that lots of those people will start to change their tune once it costs $30/meal to eat chicken. Perhaps not in our lifetime, but it's coming unless we can figure out how to stop growing our population. The earth can support a lot more people than we have today--and somewhat sustainably too. But it can't do it with meat. So meat will get expensive enough that it prices the lower 95% of the earth's population out of being able to eat meat...or at least the meats we eat today.
Hope you're either rich or like the taste of exoskeleton, cause otherwise you'll be eating a primarily vegetarian diet.
Please, please, please make a rule that food stamps can't be used for meat; only vegetables and insects. The look on peoples faces before they riot will be priceless.
One of two things will happen. People will start having less kids so they can afford meat -OR- people will start killing each other over KFC. Either way, the population with stabilize itself:). If they thought gang fueled drug wars were out of hand, try taking away chicken.
No more depressing than all the energy and technology we develop to make a guy's dick bigger, and he'll still get turned down.
That's because women are competitive goods. Regardless of how many big dicks there are, there are still the same number of women. If every guy has the same access to a big dick, then it offers no competitive advantage, it just levels the playing field.
What we should be focusing on is sex androids! The Japanese already have a head start.:)
How the fuck do you reach that conclusion? No sell = 0 and sell = 1? With absolutely no way whatever to detect whether it's valid data?
Actually yeah, Knight would probably buy one of those...
It's the Texas Hold'em strategy of stock trading.
Quantities, limits, stop loss,... that's old skool thinking. The new paradigm in trading is ALL or NOTHING. Either you sell everything or you plow your entire bankroll into one stock, 0 or 1 my friend, black or white.:)
Yeah. Well, I sincerely hope you get a prescription for a strong laxative someday...
Well... If you don't take your full dose of Moviprep then you won't be properly cleaned out. And if the colonoscopy isn't conclusive then you waste the Doctors time which he could have spent with patients that DID take their full dose.
-Prescribed medication that requires taking to completion - Check -Not an antibiotic - Check -Being prescribed a strong laxative - Check
You know, I kind of like the idea of deciding for myself what medication I take and when. The idea of my doctor trying to make me ingest a sensor like I'm some sort of medical prisoner is more than a little creepy to me. What's next, is he going to give me forced ball-shock treatments if I refuse to eat healthy?
You are exactly the reason we need devices like this. Either take the medication as prescribed OR don't take any medication. But stop selectively breeding resistant bacteria that impact EVERYONE else.
Slashdot Mirror
I skimmed this as "Better Breast Implants With Ultrathin Carbon Fiber Electrodes"... now that would be stimulating.
First they came for the pedos,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a pedo.
Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the guys into fisting and DP sites,
and I was like... "at least it was fun while it lasted".

"what prejudicial preconceptions of yours about the field of programming tweaks your ego?"
(1) programmers are rational
(2) programmers are logical
(3) programmers are anal
(4) programmers are problem solvers
(5) programmers have large Wangs
Those are off the top of my head...
Speaking of Darwinism... how many of those vehicles are pickup trucks with people sitting the bed?
Was that suppose to read:
-OR-
because it could really go either way.

that human coffe/tea consumption and pee will have an effect on the world's oceans.
Q: Why did the hipster burn his lips drinking his coffee/tea?
A: He wanted to drink it before it was cool...
