Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me. There were probably only about 6-7 boards in my area that you didn't have to dial long distance for, and I think all but two required call back:-(
Some of you may not know the glory of anonymity in the BBS (Bulletin Board System) days. But it really was glorious.
Anonymous to other users, sure.....but not the SysOps. Most of the boards I remember required call-back authentication* when you registered an account. You had to place some fairly heavy blind trust that they didn't do anything stupid with your phone number. I had a friend who started to get trolled by a SysOp, which is pretty serious when it's a phone call.
*For those of you too young to remember, when you went to register for an account on a BBS, you had to provide the telephone# that you were calling from. The system would disconnect your' modem, and then call you back on the number provided to make sure that it was legit.
The sample size in the study (12 people, 9 getting the treatment, and 3 in the control group, and only 3 receiving the treatment were followed for the full duration)
Agreed, this sounds like a case study. I think Andrew Wakefield had a bigger sample size in his anti-vax trials, and we know how that turned out.
I'm Type 1, and I want this to work more than anybody. There's a lot of very smart people trying to find a cure, but at the end of the day it's a very complicated disease with multiple factors that could trigger it.
I'm not sure if "stimulation" is the right word, being that Type 1 is an autoimmune disease. It almost seems like "suppressing" may be the correct term.
This makes me wonder about their change control procedures. How was somebody able to push bogus code to production for as long as they did without getting caught? He was either very sneaky or they have lax controls.
It's funny, because it used to be quite the opposite for awhile, especially during the System 7- OS 9 days. The OS had started to get a bit long in the tooth compared to it's contemporaries, but there was nothing wrong with the PowerPC systems during that timeframe, and the Motorola 68k architectures were very good....I have a Mac Plus that still powers on and runs System 6 just as well as it did back in 1986.
I know....I already have Windows 10 installed in BootCamp for certain games, and just last week I considered relying solely on that. I'd hate to have to give up macOS though.
BTW, I loved you in Moonraker...oh wait, that was a different Roger Moore? My bad....:-)
I went that route for awhile too, but it would break every time a system update was released (admittedly, this was about 10 years ago). Is this still a problem?
I was pretty disappointed when I downloaded the 10.14 Developer Beta and was told that it wouldn't install on my Mac Pro....a machine with 12 logical cores running at 3.2 Ghz, 32 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD, and a 3 GB ATI Radeon 7950 that's Metal compatible . The release notes say that support for this machine is coming in a later beta release, but who knows when this will happen.
I realize that my machine is about 6 years old, but Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 run just fine on it. They really need to release this Mac Pro tower that's been rumored, because I sure don't want to move to the trash-can or an iMac.

I remember hearing that Neptune's orbit could only be explained by some other gas giant affecting it (which spurred the hunt that found Pluto), but it turned out that Neptune's orbit had been calculated incorrectly based off of bogus calculations of it's mass. I wonder if that's the case here.
I saw an episode of "The Universe" on the History Channel where Mike Brown was talking about his belief that such a planet existed. He was lumped in with a bunch of 2012 Doomsdayers who suggested that such a planet would spell doom for us. Given his track-record of planet* discovery, I thought his interview may have been taken out of context, but it sounds like he actually believes this is the case (the planet part, not the doomsday part).

Europe does't put up with their crap, like the US does, so a lot of good basic research is getting done over there.
Which is why this study was done at the "Massachusetts General Hospital"?
Maybe, but they do drone on about sexual harassment and male power structures.
I wonder what his wife and two daughters think about that. Another Republican with loose morals.
Maybe he thought he could get away with it....seemed to work for this guy.

Yeah, I noticed that right after I posted. Shame on me.
Let me know when the computer can win a Slashdot debate. There's no way it could cope with this sort of argument:
Computer: "AI has made great improvements in it's cognitive ability."
Anonymous Coward: "Yeah, WELL FUCK YOU!!!!"
AC wins every time.

6. Zimbardo assumed the role of "warden", thereby putting himself into the study of which he was supposed to be an outside observer.

I haven’t had to sign into an app for months
I feel that the cable TV providers are going to be on board with this so that they can keep people from sharing accounts.

When did it become common sense to be stopped at a green light?

Are you including Consumer Reports in that as well?

Agreed.....but they aren't the only ones, you'd have to include the Iranians as well as Afghanistan.
I guarantee you that would have resulted in a war....I doubt the outcome would have been any different than the current situation.
