  1. Oh you can spew out as much hatred as you want against plenty of people. Cake makers and gun owners come to mind.

    Well, I don't know why you'd go to a Hyundai dealership to get medical attention, but if that's what does it for you go right ahead.

  3. Ehhh, not entirely true. You could burn one set of exploits to to test response patterns, especially if you had other unknown hooks in both the systems you hit and at least some of the systems doing the cleanup. That requires you to have an entirely unrelated chain ready to go for part 2 of course. Course, this is relatively unlikely to be the case if a bunch of amateurs are behind it.

    Also important, by making fake accounts they make airbnb and uber less reliable since they obviously cancel any orders that do go through, which makes the users of the services trust them less. This is a material harm to the companies in question.

    Given that in many cases researchers pay for the type of information the lawsuit is about, they are clearly getting something of value.

    Well hell, the Washington Post was perfectly happy to publish a love letter to Xi over his abolishing term limits and consolidating the secretary-general and presidential posts into one so clearly they're on board.

    The regulations in question approach and in the case of heavy duty trucks surpass the theoretical limits of what is possible with an ICE engine. They were never about pollution and all about eliminating internal combustion vehicles entirely.

  8. They're short stories and novelettes. Moreover they're from the 50's/60's and length for both categories has increased significantly over time. Beyond it's central conceit you're not going to get too much plot or storytelling out of them no matter how good or bad they are.

    Yep, it was Trump that just abolished term limits. Oh Wait...

    Not really, they're perfectly legal in most states, but when you amass over a certain amount you are legally obligated to follow safe handling and storage procedures.

    No, ADD and ADHD are real disorders. Thing is, the majority of kids diagnosed with either one of them and given drugs don't have it.

  12. No, it's single parenthood and the War on Drugs. But both those things would be complicated and/or politically difficult to correct, so the control freaks in the Democrat Party pound the drum about guns.

  13. Re:Securities fraud on Can AMD Vulnerabilities Be Used To Game the Stock Market? (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder how they got the digitally signed drivers to test with. Depending on any contracts signed that very well could put them in the wheelhouse of insider trading. Either that or that portion of the 'security flaws' is entirely a theoretical attack with no actual proof of concept done on it at all.

    Clearly you should find out by sneaking into CTS Labs, stealing the technical data on the vulnerabilities they purportedly found, hack the PSP itself without removing the code to disable it, and test the hacked PSP while it's disabled to see if it can execute code. Until you do that however, you're just pissing upwind and splattering everyone with it.

    If you maintain your car properly in the first place that's bullshit. However if you're the sort of person who only does maintenance in an emergency or when a warning light pops on, that's probably true. Also, 4 cylinder cars are an inherently better choice for this sort of thing since the maintenance/repair costs for engine issues are significantly cheaper.

  17. The dems might have had a marginal chance on that if they hadn't decided to go all in on gun control. But the did, and in doing so fucked themselves.

    If Porter had said no one chose prostitution as a career you might have some sort of point, but the idea that people tend to chose it or even that the majority of prostitutes start out choosing it as a career is specious in the extreme.

    Are you honestly trying to say that Schiff, who is the ranking democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, wouldn't know exactly what type of information would get redacted? Pull the other one, it's got bells on. If the redacted information was information that shouldn't have been redacted Schiffy would be howling from the rooftops about the redactions. He's not, which means every piece of redacted info in that memo which he demanded be released was there solely to provide cover for useful idiots like you. As for Mueller not going away, that would be evident to anyone who watched his hounding of Steven Hatfill.

    Had the shit for brains Daulerio taken the lawsuit seriously in the first place it is likely that even if he lost, the amount of money that the payout would have consisted of would have been well within the ability of Gawker to pay. But when you say in a legal deposition that you are willing to publish a child sex tape in a flat, bored tone, people are not going to look upon you kindly.

    Assuming arguendo that the rumors are true there's pretty convincing science that it has a rejuvenating effect on the mind in studies on mice. Nothing concrete on humans yet, but as he's rich as Croesus and can afford to pay healthy teenagers for their blood, why the fuck wouldn't he be doing it? I sure as fuck know that I would if I had that sort of spare cash lying around. Worst case scenario all that he gets is a placebo effect while a couple of healthy young people get some spending cash they wouldn't otherwise have.

  23. Yup, target rich environment. Well, target rich for the IG. Which is why a shitload of the people involved in the investigation are being demoted, reassigned, or outright quitting.

  24. True, Steven Hatfill can tell you all about his firsthand experience.

  25. Except nothing in the amendment demands that those using the right be part of said militia. The idea that in English grammar a prefatory clause is binding upon a justification clause is absolutely batshit. This doesn't even go into the fact that well-regulated meant something significantly different from the modern usage of the term.
