Or that there are some 17,000 chemicals that can be used as food additives that do not have to be specified on the ingredients list, and many of these are actually addictive.
Got a link for that one? Sounds interesting.
Or that the studies showing GMO crops to be safe were short-term studied sponsored by the biotech firms, while the long-term studies showed all kinds of tumor growths and early deaths (and if you think about it - the main purpose of genetic engineering is so that the crop can tolerate being sprayed with poison, or produce its own - so this will remain true until/unless the tech is put to some other use).
That's something I wish the anti-GMO movement would emphasize more: "it's not that we're irrationally hysterical about the minor difference between selective breeding and genetic engineering, it's that having a 'this food is GMO' label is an excellent proxy for 'this food has tons of RoundUp sprayed all over it!'"
You *HAVE* to be kidding. Or you are a massive hypocrite.
No, defending Gawker even though they're terrible assholes is exactly the opposite of hypocrisy. It's sort of like how the ACLU defends even the KKK's right to free speech.
The problem is that either (a) he shouldn't have the power to leverage the State to destroy Gawker for unrelated reasons, or (b) everybody should have the power to leverage the State to destroy Gawker for unrelated reasons. Either way, Thiel's money shouldn't matter -- but as this situation shows, we have a government which requires justice to be bought, and that's a problem!
Some of them are remotely controlled. Older and/or portable signs might be on dial-up or cellular, while newer fixed ones might be wired with dedicated fiber as part of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) network. Accessing those types of signs might still be pretty easy, but IMO would properly count as "hacking."
Most Linux distro communities voted or otherwise decided that they only wanted to support systemd.
"Wanting to support" something and "accepting it because upstream is shoving it down your throat and forking is too much work" are two different things.
the company is reluctant on moving to QHD display, insisting that higher resolution will only drain the battery faster
The voice of reason! Thank goodness some manufacturer is finally being sensible instead of blindly following the "more pixels = better" mantra even when the pixels are too small to see.
Did you miss the part where Russian intelligence intercepted the emails to be released?
Yes, I think I did -- mostly because you appear to have invented it out of thin air. TFA doesn't even have the word "Russia" (or "FSB," or even "KGB") in it at all.
Besides, if Russian intelligence did intercept emails then that's just even more reason to indict Hillary! Her choice to use her own server makes it her fault if she got hacked.
No it doesn't. Of the approximately 107 billion humans who have ever lived, 7.4 billion of them are still alive, giving a fatality rate of only about 93.1%.
It's a little disconcerting about how eager both Trump and Sanders followers are to have a combative foreign power interfere with US politics at the highest levels though literal KGP espionage
Go fuck yourself, you goddamned totalitarian shill! The only "anti-American" here is you. Die in a fire.
Here's a clue-by-four to crack over your head:
Wikileaks is not "KGB espionage," both because it's not acting on behalf of Russia and because the "KGB" doesn't even fucking exist anymore. (Your dumb ass can't even troll properly! At least make lies about the FSB instead!)
Wikileaks is not a "combative foreign power," either.
And most importantly, REVEALING CORRUPTION IS A GOOD THING, and categorically does not qualify as "interference!"
Exactly. If you have evidence, fucking release it already! It's as if everybody (the FBI, and now Wikileaks) wants to wait until after the Democrat national convention just to fuck over Sanders (and the progressive movement).
The problem both AMD and Nvidia are gonna have is that games have hit the wall and its getting harder and harder to push the graphics without hitting the 100 million price tag. Sure there is VR but it still is looking like its gonna be a small niche at best, just like 3D before it, and 1080P appears to be the standard everybody is sticking with which their cards from a generation or 2 back have no issues with.
The driving force for this sort of hardware is very soon going to stop being graphics rendering and start being other sorts of parallel computations: simulation, computer vision, AI, etc.
Sadly thats not what we got our ruling on, probably because a ruling that interfaces are functional and not creative would upset a lot of lawyers, of which Google has plenty
Everything after "probably because..." is wrong. In fact, Google did argue that interfaces are functional and not creative, and prevailed in that argument -- in the previous trial. Then Oracle appealed, and the appeals court stupidly overturned it and then sent the case back to the lower court. This trial was forced to be conducted around the assumption that interfaces are creative.
This judgement is from the judge that previously ruled that APIs were not copyrightable. It's the incompetent appeals court who made the fucked-up ruling.
Realistically, is anybody likely to use the Microsoft toolchain to compile software for any platform other than Windows? I doubt it. Therefore, considering the fact that Windows 10 (and patched versions of 8.1 and 7) are spyware at the OS level anyway, this compiler-trojaned-application issue is only of real concern among users of carefully-unpatched older Windows versions.
Why the fuck would Clinton want to do that? She's as much an enthusiastic supporter of this totalitarian shitshow as any other establishment politician!
The Bill of Rights does have provision for compelling witnesses to be in court, anyway (the Sixth says a defendant has a "compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor", among with other rights the accused has), so the idea that someone may be compelled to provide testimony is there. A subpoena requires someone to produce evidence if they have it, and that doesn't seem out of line.
Sure, and subpoenas are issued by the court -- in other words, with (at least) the same amount of due process as a warrant. The police cannot unilaterally decide to to subpoena you.
Wouldn't that imply that "Elerium-115" would just be an alternative name for indium (atomic weight 114.818) or one of the nearby elements (e.g. cadmium, tin)?
It doesn't say you're secure in my papers and effects.
First of all, the FBI doesn't magically get to search my house just because I'm holding property on behalf of somebody else! Second, if I have information about you, then it's still my information -- my papers, my effects. The phone records AT&T keeps are owned by AT&T, and the fact that they are "about" other entities is irrelevant.

My math was a joke. I probably should have added a smiley or a sarcasm tag or something.

The asinine part wasn't using a motor, the asinine part was calling it "doping" when it was a completely different form of cheating.

Why not? Pro cycling has "motor doping" -- it's hard to get any more asinine than that!
No shit, Sherlock! That's exactly what we as opponents of the TPP want to happen!
That's an unfortunate analogy. It would be more like using a typewriter where the keys are in the Cryillic alphabet.

I was thinking SeaQuest DSV (the first season, before it got all weird and messed up). And also SeaLab.

Actually, even that's an understatement: A CLINTON HELPED CREATE THIS PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Yeah, they should have used one of the programs discussed here to generate a more readable address.
