I'd say there are way more adults with this sort of deficiency than teens.
Factually untrue. Having said that, when teenage dysfunction continues beyond roughly the age of 25, most people do wonder if the person has some type of mental illness.
I'm honestly amazed at how completely ignorant the masses are here. Bu then again, this is slashdot where most people are factually dumb as shit and only believe they know anything.
Truthfully, contrary to the stupidity of the moderations and contrary remarks, nothing I stated is the least bit controversial. If it is, it only underscores how completely ignorant the moderator and/or the poster actually is on the topic at hand.
There is no contradiction - except in your retarded brain. The fact you believe there is a contradiction only proves you have absolutely no fucking clue what you are talking about - which is, in fact, 99.9999999999999999999999999999% of every pro-pirate dipshit who stupidity posts on the topic.
It boils down real quick and simple so either you'll completely understand and agree or it will completely validate you're a stupid, lying, dumb, piece of shit. Either everyone needs to participate in a socialist economy or those who refuse to do so while stealing the works of others are thieves and freeloaders. The ONLY other option is pay artists their rates based on fair market value. And since you're not willing to pay a couple hundred to thousands and thousands of dollars to hear the performance, we immediately know you're completely full of shit. Which leaves us to the only possible answer - you're a piece of shit thief or a socialist pushing an agenda. Period.
From what I read, in all cases where excessive radiation was administered to a patient, it was immediately proceeded by the operator encountering a malfunction indicator whereby they promptly ignored it. Only after negligently poisoning the patient did they call to have the machine serviced. And that's why the company was resistant to admit fault (or that an issue even existed), because the dumb fucking operator cleared the error codes, so they could poison their patience. Then when the machines were serviced, they never found any reported errors. After all, you sure wouldn't want the operator's schedule fucked up waiting for a malfunction to be serviced. Better to clear a known problem and poison your patient than to fuck the schedule up. I mean, they have lunch to get to, which is obviously far more important than somebody's life.
Basically, dumb fucking criminal operators who negligently attempted to murder people created the problem all the way around. The company, having absolutely no evidence there was a problem, denied there was a problem specifically because the dumb fucking murderous operators were erasing the evidence of the problem so as to allow them to murder their innocent victims.
Long story short, everyone wants to blame the company but 99.99999999% of the problem was dumb fucking, murderous, operators who clearly had absolutely no concern for the patience's welfare. They should be prison for negligent homicide.
"Properly" being defined as, "normal and healthy". Many of these people can not properly estimate risks, come to a rational conclusion, so on and so on. Basically, the brain functions on par with someone who is mentally unfit, unsound, and accurately denoted as "retarded."
The argument isn't that "but its socialism", its that you are demanding a free ride in a capitalistic society. When your work is given for the greater good, get back to me. Until such time, you're just a lying, hypocritical, thieving, piece of shit.
Except study after study clearly shows young brains don't mature and/or function properly, maturely, on average, until around the age 25. Which means, they shouldn't have the rights of an adult until the age of 25. The only fly in the ointment is the fact that military service can begin at 17. If it were not for military service, chances are, adulthood would not start until the age of 25.
Its an old joke that teenagers are retarded. The really funny thing is, its a scientific fact - on average.
And knowing this is/., please do not confuse AVERAGE with EVERY. Please read that several times before you run with hatred. Such words seem to confuse some verbose minority every time. Please understand they are two different words with two different meanings.
I could be mistaken, but it is legal to walk into unlocked homes so long as you have no intention of stealing or vandalizing the place.
Maybe, maybe not, It depends on the particulars. It may be considered trespass if you were not invited, even if the door was left wide open. Simply entering a stranger's property, without an implicit understanding the public is invited (example, store front vs home) would be considered illegal.
Ya, that's a classic.I love how the company gets all the blame for that but the people who are truly at fault are only ever glossed over.
Machine: "Hi, I'm operating so completely out of allowed parameters I'm going to completely stop functioning. Here's a 'MALFUNCTION' warning to make sure you get me serviced before you continued."
Operator: "How annoying. The stupid machine is trying to prevent me from dosing massive levels of radiation. Oh well, its just radiation and they're not my loved one. I'll just ignore and pretend the machine didn't just stop my dangerous attempt to kill/poison a patient."
In the real world, its known as negligent homicide and attempted murder. But we'll just blame the company and pretend the morons involved had no role to play, ignoring that it was the ONLY first order contributing factor.
Pull your head from your ass and stop offering red herrings as a troll.
By pushing a socialist agenda (all your work is our work and you have no say, and we'll consume said work without compensation), as it directly affects the market, it is by definition, anti-capitalism and pro-socialism. You can't force people to give away their work for free and claim you are anything other than socialist - at best.
You mean they were lucky they were not harmed from advice received indirectly by an attorney? Hate to tell you this, but if this is illegal, so is most of the legal profession (as tons of legal advice is issued under "guidance of an attorney", which exactly what you get with the service). Additionally, I would be absolutely amazed if there isn't a disclaimer which basically states, if in doubt, contact an attorney. This service is not a replacement for an attorney. Typically these services double as a referral service. Not exactly surprising.
So basically, if you were injured, its extremely likely its because you're a complete fucking idiot too stupid to realize you shouldn't play in the highway.
Completely fucking frivolous. I hope this guy, and his lawyer, gets thrown under the bus and made an extreme example.
The GPL wouldn't need to exist if we didn't have copyrights.
Completely false. Period.
The intent of the GPL is to encourage people to work collaboratively such that modifications are available to everyone. Without copyright law, the GPL becomes an MIT or BSD style license whereby anyone can take anything and use it for anything they want without ever contributing back changes. That's a huge difference. Its the cornerstone distinction between the GPL and other, more liberal licenses.
And contrary to the hippy ignorance which always seems to surround the anit-copyright trolls/pirates, copyrights exist so as to encourage creation. Without them, the ability to create is dramatically reduced. And again, contrary to the hippy anti-copyright/pirate group-thunk, copyright fuels a significant portion of the world's economy. It creates jobs. It empowers small businesses. And frequently it allows small business to grow to medium sized businesses and medium sized businesses to grow into large businesses. By not stealing copyrighted products, you absolutely are subverting the economy and indirectly advocating socialism.
If you want to advocate socialism, by all means do so, but don't attempt to subvert capitalism by half truths, lies, and general misinformation. The simple fact is, a lot of people who ignorantly advocate socialism, by means of piracy and anti-copyright stance, do so completely ignorant of the implications of their actions - as is typical for hippies, with socialistic leanings.
Open source does not mean free of copyright. Furthermore, many open source licenses depend on copyright enforcement. Furthermore, claiming someone else's create as your own is fraudulent at best.
The US Government has the right to do absolutely anything they want. I fully support them in doing whatever they want. And I should know! I just graduated first in class from my government re-education camp. First! Hah! In your face!
I see terrorists everywhere now! Its so obvious. I don't know how I didn't see it before. Now at my weekly meetings I get to report on the suspicious misdeeds of my friends, family, and neighbors. Amerika rules!
Bullshit. Refunds are normally, absolutely NOT handled by developers. They are handled automatically. They are ONLY handled manually if they are past the trial period and then, only at the discretion of the developer.
Do some more research. Most whale species eat fish, not plankton. Not all whales were hunted just for their blubber. More than one species were hunted for their blubber, where there were clearly preferences, making some more hunted than others. Generally speaking, just about any large whale species was considered fair game, especially after the decline of some of their larger, more preferred targets.
Yes, through the 18th and early 19th century. That's have a long time to make a come back. Whales are rarely hunted these days. And what hunting does exist is far, far below their breeding levels. Accordingly, just like with any species, when your birthrate out paces your death rate, the species experiences a population resurgence. That's exactly what's happened to every whale species. We now have far more whales than what existed before the whaling crazy took hold of global waters.
Except in this case, its not the system which is broken. Its the corruption of the system which caused it to be broken and widely acknowledged by those participating. Like most societal frameworks, the pendulum perpetually swings. Science is no different. I expect over the next decade or two it will single to a more neutral position which benefits everyone and better science will happen. Then, more quackery will sneak by, completing its swing to the other side, followed by a reverse of the pendulum. Repeat.
Hopefully it will stay in a more neutral position for longer than a decade or two as that greatly benefits society moreso than politically and financially minded scientists.
Its worse than that. The people who critically review these things say they don't work, will never work, and pose a health hazard. The people in power say, "fuck you, you're going to buy these. now give me my money." And that's what happens. When asked about the people who were ignored, they then lie and say the machines have been tested and are safe. Followed by, "fuck you, we have our money."
Its basically fraud at the government level with government knowingly assisting with the fraud.
Not to mention you can find endless accounts of where scientists absolutely refuse to either conduct research or worse, review research, because the topic is considered "tainted", either by subject matter or researcher association. For almost two decades now scientists have been complaining of not only a broken scientific review process, but that it in of it self is used to bias who obtains research grants. The whole fiend of fusion research is typical.
In a nutshell, the the exception of a small priest hood, scientific research has been widely regarded as broken, dishonest, politically driven, and jaded, such that it largely serves the priest hood moreso than anyone else.
This is the natural swing of the pendulum to fight back against the priest hood's corruption. Chances are, its not that hard to identify members of the priest hood, and in doing so, identify those who have consistently manipulated the system for the benefit of themselves and their cronies, to the detriment of science and humanity as a whole.
There is no need for amazement. Its already been covered they allow for it. I honestly don't see what the news here is. Microsoft creates yet another patent on something which is not only commonly done every day, but mandated by governments around the world.
Next on slashdot - people move and technology helps them do so.
Argue all you want, but please allow me to introduce you to a telephone pole first.
Rapid releases is not a detriment to companies in any way. Furthermore, its beneficial to many others. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter one bit if different companies update on a different cycle. Furthermore, having more frequent releases allows them to better internally adopt updates as they seem fit rather than as another large company dictates. Meaning, small nimble companies can update quickly, for even minor updates and features. Large, slow, monolithic companies can still update every 3, 6, 9, or 12 months per their normal release cycles. Nothing changes aside from additional empowerment and flexibility.
So please, you, meet telephone pole. Telephone pole, meet you.
'We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure.'"
He then follow up with:
"We are very proud of the fact we go out of our way to needlessly humiliate people who absolutely pose no security risk. Furthermore, we are especially proud of the fact we've never once stopped a terrorist, know what a terrorist is, or understand even the most vague concept of who and what fits a terrorist profile.
You'll have to excuse me now, I have to go lobby Congress for more money so as to ensure we only ever accomplish draining America's coffers. Peace! I outta heeer."
As he turned to walk away, his last utterence was picked up by the mic:
"Dip shits! I can't believe the American people are so fucking stupid and I get paid for doing absolutely nothing. Holy shit, the American people are fucking stpuid!"
I think you're spot on. Over the last decade I've constantly read articles about broken hardware whereby the manufacturer simply hides in their windows drivers. Chances are extremely high any power regression is actually a case of extremely broken hardware more dramatically exposed because of a bug fixes and/or compliance improvements in the Linux implementation.
Based on what I've read over the last decade, I definitely get the impression hardware bugs, specifically in power management, are fairly common. As a whole, manufacturers just don't give a shit about pumping out broken, non-compliant hardware specifically because 1, they hide their shame in their drivers, and 2, non-windows systems likely represent a fraction of their overall sales. Which means, who cares because who's actually going to know they can't properly follow a specification.
Unless someone has a smoking gun which proves Linux is doing the wrong thing, chances are the regressions are actually shit-poor hardware implementations with full knowledge of the manufacturers.
Contrary to a lot of green peace misinformation, whale populations are at their highest in several centuries. Chances are extremely high this only has to do with re-population and expansion. The fact humans are vastly over fishing and making food scarce for these animals only further encourages them to find new feed grounds.
Basically, whaling destroyed the populations. So it makes sense they would be harder to find. Whale populations are now higher than before whaling reached its height.
A global warming angle is extremely bullshittish unless there is lots and lots and lots of proof which is far, far stronger than the most obvious and reasonable explanation.
