"People" shouldnt be doing this and I doubt their doctors are prescribing drugs this way. Most likely morons are not finishing their drugs when they are sick and are abusing the system. If anything we need a technological solution here. Make the pills expire faster so people cant hoard them.

I own a macbook and an iphone and I'm sick of the rumormill. No shit, Apple is updating a successful product? This doesnt need to be on slashdot or anywhere but applerumors.com.
What bugs me is that I dont hear about the new version of WinMo or even that much about Android here. Just iphone. Id love to see a well maintained mobile subsection of slashdot instead of this nonsense. But I suspect enough slashdot readers are more interested in flamewars and self-identifying with products to make these 'articles' popular. I guess I need to goto Ars to actually read about technology without the kiddie angle and poseurs.
Naww, none of those really work well. I see it as a redoing of Dune. Both have an outsider who comes from afar to help the natives. Both have a wanted substance that ties into their religion. Both end with the outsider fighting his own people to protect the natives and taking a woman from the natives. Both end with asserting control over the substance and getting rid of the invaders. Eywa = Shai-Hulud, Spice = Unobtonium.
Although, I must admit this right-wing movie review is hilarious! The reviewer is upset at alien nudity, drug references, lack of Christianity amongst the aliens, "reverse racism", and the anti-human "marxist" agenda of the movie.
I find I can get a nice burst for the first couple of megabytes then Im throttled pretty badly. Id like to know which carrier doesnt do this. It doesnt look related to reception.
So instead of managing one or two cert/keys youre managing dozens all running with the quirks of the implementation of the application - and you lose two factor authentication, centralized management, site to site, and about a few other features.
Something tells me VPN is going to be here as long as tcp/ip is. At least for serious applications. Heck, Joe Blow can remotedesktop/ssh to his computer and get some level of encryption by default now. No need for ipv6 and direct connect.
On top of it, if adding SSL to old established protocols is so easy, then why arent we doing it for everything now. Sure, its not a technical challenge, but the inertia on the application end of things means that people wont implement it. What percentage of smtp or ftp is encrypted? How many non-upgradable legacy solutions are out there? The nice thing about VPN is that you sidestep the application level and you just take care of security on the network level.
While smarts and social oddness go hand in hand, stuff like exile and not talking to people on this level is actually pretty uncommon. You mention Einstein. Well, for a good part of his life he was incredibly social. Always giving speeches about his views and opinions, hence all the bumper sticker and quotes. Heck, he even spoke at a vegetarian event even though he was a meat eater.
Personally, I think a lot of this is autism/aspergers spectrum stuff or a sign of mental illness. Lets not forget the high correlation between suicide and high IQ.
The Saturn S-classes go forever. If anything Saturn cars were too good and too easy to fix for faux-riche people who just needed something that said "foreign and expensive and will soon be replaced with another expensive pile of junk" to impress their neighbors.
Why do you assume this leads to positive free advertising? Look at the wolverine movie. Any nerd could download it and watch it before it was released. Turns out they did. There was no 'network effect.' This didnt help the movie at all. It probably just hurt it. While there are good arguments for copyright reform and fixing IP laws, this one just aint one of them.
Right, like all the hippies supporting Exxon and the Seattle WTO protesters kissing executives? Or all the liberals who dont want socialized medicine?
>The right wing likes all business, both big and small.
Haha, now tell me another. Corporatism is almost exclusively a right-wing ideology. Support of IP laws is a conservative philosophy. IP reform is a liberal philosophy. If I have to explain this then your bias is just too far gone.
>What disappoints me most about Eastern Texas' Courts is that they don't say, "What the hell is this doing in my courtroom?
Err, these judges know exactly why they are there and the judges are happy to push their pro-business conservative mentality by legislating from the bench. Its pretty obvious that this district is proudly pro-IP law to the point of absurdity. To a lot of people, strong IP is an ideology that trumps common sense, especially in GOP heavy conservative districts (Hello Texas!). Everything else stinks of sharing, socialism, and communism. Its pretty much a Tea Bagger for a judge.
>Judges do not make the laws, they simply settle disputes with laws already made.
These are FEDERAL laws. They are the same everywhere in the US. There's no special federal law for Texas. In other words, the judges are legislating from the bench already by interpreting these laws as more favorable to the patent trolls under the guise of a pro-business conservative mentality. They are legislating from the bench with their local mentalities, local court rules, and quick and dirty fast trials.
If anything, its legal as a script because of the intense demand. I wonder if something thats targeted at old men that also drops heart pressure and causes heart attacks would be tolerated as even sellable if it wasnt for the overwhelming demand to get Mr Pokey up one last time. Pot is safer.
>You know, the whole, priced to what the market will bear nonesense that is the fundemental underpinnings of our economy.
Right, because command economy worked so great for the Soviets. Everything has value only because of what markets will bear. Thats a basic premise of capitalism. You wouldnt have a laptop in a non-capitalist system. When I had an Apple//, my Soviet peers had no computer industry and just made copies of US stuff:
Not to mention, all things have value because of markets. Gold and even currency are all commodities whose value isnt determined by a committee of magical unicorns but by markets. You cant have capitalism and arbitrary settings of price.
What bothers me about this is that once its disabled it just prompts you to enable it once it senses a JS PDF. The end user, if he or she has rights (and they do at home), just clicks another OK box instead of being forced to go into preferences and turn it back on. Once thats clicked it runs the JS and the exploit. Its ridiculous its even on by default, let alone this UI stupidity.
The next version of Acrobat should just have it off by default. Force people to turn it on. Chances are 99.9% of users have no legitimate reason for a JS PDF.
Mental illness runs in the family and affects economic status. So poor parents pass on their mentally ill genes to their kids thus their kids are more likely to be mentally ill and on some kind of treatment. My own personal experience registers this is as true. I see a lot of emotional problems, especially mood instability, with poorer people. I wouldnt be surprised if this was a chicken and egg problem explained without the "OMG BIG GOVERNMENT/CAPITALIST CONSPIRACY" angle slashdot tends to sell.
>I think the newest generations of free software developers take free software for granted.
Err, I suspect Phillip and Miguel are much, much older than your typical slashdot reader.
>a windowing system, a file manager, an office application, a web browser, an email client, a compiler, a debugger, a zip program, a picture viewer, access to the official developer's documentation,
Well, in reality thanks to capitalism and competition we have these things at an affordable level with OSX and Windows. I think people dont remember the 1980s where dozens of OS's fought for dominance and each generation proved better than the rest. Market capitalism in a nutshell, when it works.
While OSS is important lets not pretend that its everything.
>Now they are growing tired of the "free software fundamentalists" because they do not see that what they've accomplished is inseparable from the ideology in which they believed.
Or they are tired of being hamstrung by extremists. I mean, look at Linus compared to RMS. He's much, much more flexible. And guess what OS you are using. The HURD? No. Linux.
Every little revolution ages. The founders did their job and it becomes more practical. If the people who created GNOME want to go somewhere then they should have the freedom to do so. Pardon me, but if OSS means "NEVER EVER LEAVE" then you have no rights at all. Instead its all negative comments and MS conspiracy theories like yours.
Wow, I dont know how to reply to your nonsense. First off, its accepted by historians that Tibet under the lamas was an oppressive feudal theocracy. Secondly, the Parenti article has tons of cites from western observers. Calling him and other sociologists and historians "Maoist" is beyond ridiculous. If you want to understand Tibet I suggest you get stop sucking the propaganda teat and start understanding some basic facts.
Lastly, the only reason the DL proposes a western democratic structure is because his backers are Westerners. Its only because of the Chinese invasion that he even entertains such thoughts. There is no traditional of secularism, democracy, or enlightenment in feudal Tibet. Finally, something all people need to understand: THEOCRACIES DONT WORK. THEY ARE ALWAYS OPPRESSIVE. STOP DEFENDING THEM. Tibet was a theocracy and it was feudal. Accept it. Almost all the Free Tibet people I know accept it as fact, they simply say a new government will be Western-style
As in a free labor system and unlike slavery, the overlords had no responsibility for the serf's maintenance and no direct interest in his or her survival as an expensive piece of property. The serfs had to support themselves. Yet as in a slave system, they were bound to their masters, guaranteeing a fixed and permanent workforce that could neither organize nor strike nor freely depart as might laborers in a market context. The overlords had the best of both worlds.
One 22-year old woman, herself a runaway serf, reports: "Pretty serf girls were usually taken by the owner as house servants and used as he wished"; they "were just slaves without rights."18 Serfs needed permission to go anywhere. Landowners had legal authority to capture those who tried to flee. One 24-year old runaway welcomed the Chinese intervention as a "liberation." He testified that under serfdom he was subjected to incessant toil, hunger, and cold. After his third failed escape, he was merciless beaten by the landlord's men until blood poured from his nose and mouth. They then poured alcohol and caustic soda on his wounds to increase the pain, he claimed.19
The serfs were taxed upon getting married, taxed for the birth of each child and for every death in the family. They were taxed for planting a tree in their yard and for keeping animals. They were taxed for religious festivals and for public dancing and drumming, for being sent to prison and upon being released. Those who could not find work were taxed for being unemployed, and if they traveled to another village in search of work, they paid a passage tax. When people could not pay, the monasteries lent them money at 20 to 50 percent interest. Some debts were handed down from father to son to grandson. Debtors who could not meet their obligations risked being cast into slavery.20
The theocracy's religious teachings buttressed its class order. The poor and afflicted were taught that they had brought their troubles upon themselves because of their wicked ways in previous lives. Hence they had to accept the misery of their present existence as a karmic atonement and in anticipation that their lot would improve in their next lifetime. The rich and powerful treated their good fortune as a reward for, and tangible evidence of, virtue in past and present lives.
>Their public statements say that they are not linking the requests to other Google services, and that they are discarding ip addresses within a day or two.
Right and when google started their business they didnt have a tracking cookie that expires in 2038. Things change. The DNS data has value and once google's shareholders realize this they will begin to mine it. Heck, if they dont then the executives can be sued for not running the business properly.
Nope, a host file is static and wont support and wildcards like *.cm.
You can run bind and play with the configuration or you can set your firewall to not let you make connections to cameroon's netblocks. That's assuming the cm stuff is actually hosted there. If not then you need to block via DNS.
