Given the effects I would have thought such a device would be considered illegal in most western countries to use or sell. Even things like Mace or pepper spray are illegal in a lot of places as are mantraps or anything designed to incapacitate or injure a person.
coming from an anti vaxxer I take that as a compliment. fuckwits like yourself need to be put on an island that is fenced off from the rest of humanity where you are free to get yourselves killed by whatever method you choose. Arseholes like you get innocent people killed when mixed in with society.
what the fuck are you on about. You still hve those freedoms in Australia. What you don't have is the right to claim you are a medical practitioner and provide advise to people that goes completely against those qualifications. If you want to support Anti Vaxxers that is fine, but don't try and claim you are doing it as a doctor or Nurse etc. Doctors, Nurses, midwives etc have a duty of care and telling people to not get vaccinations is in breach of that duty of care.
The serious injustice is what is done to those that seek a licensed medical practitioner only to receive advise that goes against medical ethics and science. To get their licenses they went through training and education, they have chosen to ignore that education so I don't believe permanent cancelation/suspension is an injustice, they are risking the lives of people who have come to them for help and advise and are therefore in breach of the basic tenets of their profession and hence should be stripped of any qualifications that allow them to practise that profession..
have to disagree on the money laundering part. The creation of money laundering laws was pretty much essential to prevent organised crime from hiding ill gotten gains by pumping them through shop fronts, casinos and international exchanges and then labelling their proceeds of crime as legitimate profits or winnings. Casinos, banks etc were more than happy to be complicit in these transactions as they got a healthy cut, you can't just ask nicely for them to not do this.
Not sure I see the need for reinvention here. TV is not about the newest coolest gadgets every month, it is about entertainment, the user interface makes for a tiny fraction of the time someone spends with their TV. Netflix as well as various TV boxes have reinvented the VCR about as much as is required at this point. Portable media players, Smart Phones and tablets needed reinvention, you could make the most awesome perfect interface for a TV and it still won't be (or shouldn't be) the primary selling point.
I have no problems with him releasing information when he gets it. What he is doing is collecting and hording the information in order to use it for his own benefit and political agenda rather than trying to ensure people are informed. That stinks and is exactly the sort of dirty act Clinton or Trump would do. When you sink to their level you are as bad as they are.
Both candidates are corrupt scum. BUT, Assange's actions in this are deployable, he has gone from someone fighting for open and honest government to someone that is using information he has access too in a manner to influence an election. timing the releases of information to the political happenings in order to influence people makes him no better than those he is supposedly against, actually it probably makes him worse as he "was" supposedly fighting for something better.
Full redundancy does not provide 5 9's, it takes a lot more than that, going from 4 9's to 5 9's is an insanely expensive task for just specific infrastructure, to do it for an entire network of a large enterprise would make a serious dent in Apples bank balance for very little return.
banking/financial services don't/shouldn't have the right to discriminate based on political views and certainly should not be using their power to influence such a thing, that is actually far more scary than the government doing it. Not sure about the UK but many countries require banks to not discriminate based on anything other than financial ability to service debt, operate the account legally etc.
yes it has happened quite a bit, that doesn't mean it is something to support. When spotted it needs to be called out and fought against "regardless" of whether you agree with the message being delivered.
yes it is in the western world, it is also a pretty huge double standard given the amount of propaganda western governments pump through the press as well.. Just because you don't like what they say is irrelevant. Russia supposedly has freedom of press too, but you are likely to get harassed or found to have breached some law to allow them to shut you down should you try what you propose. I guess that is what you want to happen here too? our governments dictating what the press can say?
lets see it is Trump, Who else might have a reason to hate him and perceive him as a Nazi
Mexicans?
Woman?
blacks?
Most of Europe?
muslims?
a quick count puts the potential non democrat suspects at several billion. Hillary may well be devil spawn but that doesn't somehow make trump any less insane a choice.
I usually hunt down the latest map packs ISO each year and any firmware updates and load them in.
This is the part that is probably illegal in many countries. It is an option but it's pretty easy for a dealership to check and automatically flag if you bring your car in for service.
Piracy yes, checkable NO. the dealer is not the only option to get the updates, they are available for purchase legitimately online too. I actually don't mind paying a small fee, but they want just over $200 for an update, considering when I got it put in as an option on purchase when new they charged me $2k they can go to hell. My mistake I suppose for not getting it fitted aftermarket for a fraction of the cost but I refuse to be repeatedly raped for something I thought I was paying for at time of purchase as not other way to justify the high price they charged.
I wonder how much this is to do with most people not knowing or just not doing updates to their in car Nav Systems, I usually hunt down the latest map packs ISO each year and any firmware updates and load them in. Personally I actually much prefer the in car Nav, Directions show up in front of me and it tends be more reliable than my Phone. Phone you tend to need to rely more on Voice which as my Wife found out was a nightmare recently after some road changes. Seeing a line drawing in front of me is much better than relying on a voice which can be very wrong when new roads open e.g. "At the roundabout take the first exit" becomes take the second exit with a new road, but a map in front of me I can instantly realise the voice is wrong.
I think one of the truly interesting things will be when this happens to smartphones in the next couple of years. We are now getting to the point where speed, storage and performance of a smartphone is going to be good enough for several years at least. I wonder if when people move to 2 year or 3 year cycles with phones (which seems inevitable) if these same journalists are going to be yelling about the tragic impending death of smartphones or will they finally pull their head out of their arse and try to understand concepts like market saturation, performance vs needs of users etc etc.
I hate these studies, they always seem to neglect the changing face of PC's. PC's require upgrades at far less frequent rates, a 3, 4 or 5 year old machine will work perfectly well for the majority of users, this doesn't mean PC usage has declined or something has superceded it, it simply means the technology in PC's has now far exceeded the needs of the average user allowing them to keep their machine far longer than ever before and hence a decreased annual sales of PC's
he didn't mention droughts, so not sure what you are referring too, he claimed they are worse because of all the undergrowth not being regularly burn't as it would be in nature, instead it is allowed to build up and results in larger fires. That is most definitely a fact and supported by evidence and research. Climate Change may also contribute, not sure how you can effectively measure that with so many other contributing factors though.
As usual Slashdot totally fucks up the headline with a clickbait headline that in no way represents the research. Forest fire size have doubled, but the research DOESN'T say this is from climate change, it says this has occurred due to many factors including increased fuel from mismanagement of undergrowth and climate change being a contributing factor as well/. It is embaressing, you can't even link an article on this site anymore as you will get laughed at for the tabloid amateur headlines that are created here.
you don't have to wait for his research. You could read the many research papers already published on the topic, or hell even read the research this story points to which also points out this is a significant contributing factor. It has long been a problem in Australia too, especially around where I live near Canberra where the greenies were given too much power and actively prevented a lot of undergrowth clearing and burning, this led to some devastating bushfires here around 2003, on the bright side the retarded greenies generally don't get listened to when they try to prevent these necessary burns anymore.

If it causes shortness of breath or diminishes eyesight even for a short period it is almost certainly illegal in most places.

why? you don't call close to 100 thousand a year many?

Measles and whooping cough are infectious diseases that can be dealt with quite well by the current medical system.
And in many cases by the burial system.

the spokeswoman for the Australian College of Midwives, worries the crackdown may push people with anti-vaccination views further underground
good, they have no right to be practising medicine, fuckwits like those should be dead and buried like those that suffer under their idiotic advise.
