Does the 4th amendment protect my privacy when I am yelling through the open window at my dogs for pissing on the lemon tree again? I'm certainly not doing it with the goal that everyone within earshot be free to listen...
In the papers context, anyone authorized (police, KGB, GRU, etc.) could stop citizens at any time and ask for their papers
What do you mean, could?
I've been to Russia many times and many times I've seen police demand ID from random people on the street. These people weren't doing anything suspicious either, just walking around. I was asked, in Russian at first, to show my passport while I was simply browsing in a gift shop.
And the drive is removable, so you can add Blu-Ray or whatever you'd like.
And Lenovo publishes complete manuals with step-by-step instructions detailing how to disassemble everything and how to replace pretty much any part (along with a list of the FRU numbers for said parts.)
And they let you order individual parts (or you can just get them from any number of third party suppliers.)
And replacing CRUs doesn't void the warranty.
Your turn.
The WiFi card in one of my Lenovo laptops was defective, so I ordered a replacement mini-PCI Express card off of Amazon. Card shows up, I pop it in, and BAM, BIOS reports error 1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Power off and remove the miniPCI network card.
Apparently (only some?) Lenovo laptops have a whitelist of approved devices stored somewhere in the BIOS. To get around this, I had to weed out a number of dead links (thanks a lot, Rapidshare) and find a modified BOIS update that removes the whitelist. Without the whitelist, everything works perfectly.
This developer is shady. Check the reviews for this game on Google Play. Apparently you can't get very far in the game without buying weapons/upgrades that cost real money. There are a fair number of complaints from people spending $5 for in-game credits, not receiving the credits, and getting no response from the developers.
Want to sound like a fourth grader shilling their science project? Use exclamation marks in your summary.
I'm not sure if the summary has been changed since you posted, but here is what I currently see:
A team from UCLA has developed a new transparent solar cell that has the ability to generate electricity while still allowing people to see outside. In short, they've created a solar power-generating window! Described as 'a new kind of polymer solar cell (PSC)' that produces energy by absorbing mainly infrared light instead of traditional visible light, the photoactive plastic cell is nearly 70% transparent to the human eye â" so you can look through it like a traditional window.
I count a single exclamation mark in the summary. I also only a see a grand total of one exclamation in any of the linked articles (this paragraph is copied verbatim in the summary). Assuming the summary hasn't changed, I have no idea why you were modded +5 Insightful (at the time of this post) for a trivial, and overall worthless complaint that really adds nothing of value to the discussion.
However, if the summary has been edited, then I apologize for my rudeness.
He planned out his attack months in advance. According to media reports, he actually did have a few bombs in his apartment. Apparently he was also wearing body armor, and it has been speculated that he was hoping to "do battle" with the police. We still don't know what this wacko's motivations were, so it is difficult to say that he chose guns simply because they were the easiest route.
Apparently he was fairly intelligent, and he planned out his attack over months. So yes, he could have just as easily built a bomb. In fact he supposedly did have a number of bombs in his apartment. You assume he chose guns because they were the easiest route, but we still don't know what his motivations were. He was also wearing body armor, and it has been speculated that he was intending to "do battle" with police.
As a fellow Nexus 7 owner, I have to ask to what screen issue are you referring? I haven't had a single problem with my device, but I would appreciate it if you could elaborate so that I can keep an eye out for possible problems in the future.
I think it's safe to say that violence has always been with humanity since the origin of our species, and will continue to be with our species for the indefinite future. That said, do you really think he could have killed 12 and injured 50 had he burst into the theatre armed with a flint knife and an atlatl?
Maybe not with a knife, but he could have easily built a bomb with homemade components. He could have sewn it into a large jacket, then left it in his seat and detonated it from the safety of the hallway. Or as someone else said, he could have waited for the crowd to start leaving the theater, then plow into them at 60 mph in an SUV.
The only thing that will make people less proficient at killing are full frontal lobotomies and straight jackets.
I think the real problem with autonomous vehicles is that there is a sizable percentage of people who would "bully" them. You know the thing is going to give you the right of way and slow down to keep a safe distance, so why not cut in front of them, etc. Then who wants a car with a pushover as an automatic pilot? But what lawyer would okay even a slightly aggressive autopilot?
I think the best solution would be to have the car automatically video record the aggressor and upload the video to the police, or (better yet) an insurance company.
Pointing out another inequality is not an arguement that they are not inequal
That wasn't my point. I don't know if its just the US, but this country seems to have a lot of issues when it comes to equality, especially when it revolves around gender. Then when you go and stir up the entire notion of traditional gender roles, its like poking a hornet's nest.
I don't have a problem with pointing out the facts. I was simply pointing out that Texas is hardly representative of the entire country. That said, these things always start out in a vocal minority and start to snowball. The OP makes a good point about using articles like this to point out our own follies.
I see your point. It is probably very easy to find examples like this from all across the bible belt. Your articles do in fact make great points of how religion can ruin education anywhere.
I have plenty of critical things to say about this country. I couldn't tell that the OP was being sarcastic, and a lot of people here do seem to like comments based solely on the fact that they mention something negative about the US.
Slashdot Mirror
I think frictionless sex would be pretty pointless. But I guess that is the most common type of sex for most Slashdotters.

So what you're saying is that Republicns are solely responsible for AGW and the US is the only country on the planet that can stop it?
I don't want to ignite my car, so why would I put the keys in the ignition?
Fry: This snow is beautiful. I'm glad global warming never happened.
Leela: Actually, it did. But thank God nuclear winter canceled it out.

Can someone honestly explain to me why the fuck this is insightful?
There, fixed that for you.
There are active campaigns in the form of TV commercials here in the US that place an emphasis on these two.
Because you can?
Why ask stupid questions that have nothing to do with the meat of the story?
