If you're a doctor, don't say anything about any drug. If you praise a drug, you'll look like a shill. If you slam a drug, you'll... well, probably get killed.
Just stay out of it, even if it means you make $100,000 less every year. Getting involved is a lose/lose.
The reason why this strain is so bad is because it's transmissible from person to person with ease.
On the plus side, it's not resistant to Tamiflu... yet. Given that strains of Tamiflu-resistant human flu are turning up, I wouldn't be surprised to see this one learn to dodge bullets as well.
That's why this strain is seen as a potential pandemic.
I remember reading... I can't remember if it was a post about an algorithm already written or a proposal for an algorithm which would run alongside a CAPTCHA through the entire registration process, but the basic premise was just that: measure the entropy and fluidity of human movement and determine whether or not the user is a bot based on whether or not the user fits typical random human usage patterns.
I also remember the writer of the post noting that this kind of system would basically stretch the human-unwittingly-answers-CAPTCHA out such that humans would have to do the entire setup process manually instead of just the CAPTCHA, thus defeating the point of automated setup.
Does anyone have this article? I can remember reading it but I can't find it.
Or he'll step up his efforts and when there are no sane people to keep his outlandish behavior in check, he'll be one step closer to getting his way. Jack Thompson isn't some anonymous coward you can filter out of a discussion thread just because you think he's a troll - as long as he's loud enough to get legislation on the table for discussion, he's somebody you need to keep an eye on.
This is why I said:
Stop posting anything which would give him any attention at all unless it's about something which really is a threat. In that case, spread the word high and low to kill whatever the threat may be.
Legislation filed by him counts as "outlandish behavior."
I'm just tired of hearing about stuff that doesn't affect me. If he tries to get legislation out, then by all means, slam him. Otherwise, if it's just his own life going down the drain, stop giving him attention for it.
Just stop posting stories about him. Stop posting anything which would give him any attention at all unless it's about something which really is a threat. In that case, spread the word high and low to kill whatever the threat may be.
The less attention you guys personally give him, the more neglected he'll feel and the less of an attention whore he might become. Granted, this might not work, but it's better than talking about every major event in his life.
Why is it that Slashdot posts such opinionated summaries at times? This is worse than the typical Apple bashing that goes on. It's also rather immature.
He has a point. Macbook discoloration (pre-unibody), case chipping (pre-unibody, and this has happened to mine as well), as well as razor-sharp edges on all unibody macbooks. That and the overuse of heat paste, the general heat problems, screen backlighting unevenness... these are things I haven't seen on my dell, oddly enough.
I'm pretty sure just about every self-minded tech journalist/blogger/twitterer/etc. would jump on the Microsoft bashwagon if it makes him/her look cool and worthwhile.
It doesn't matter if everyone bashes Microsoft. Apple is also a design firm, hence the Apple tax on the Apple logo. It's like paying 300 for a pair of Gucci sunglasses: they're damned good for your eyes but 250 dollars of it is a tax on design.
Well, the parent articles covered this, which leads me to my point: Why couldn't this slashdot post point to the two people who actually came up with this? CWMike provided no original insight whatsoever.
Something tells me the enormous amounts of caffeine I had this morning will probably affect my judgment in the market today as badly as it just affected my ability to spell.

If you have the scientific research to back your assertion then no, it's fine. I was just referring to doctors who voice their opinions.
Doctors should still prescribe medications which fit the problem (duh), but they should neither outwardly praise medicines nor slam them.
If you're a doctor, don't say anything about any drug. If you praise a drug, you'll look like a shill. If you slam a drug, you'll... well, probably get killed.

When did Slashdot start doing images in non-extended summaries? Talk about a leap into the future.

This isn't newsworthy. Starter Edition, ever since its inception, has had a 3 app limit.
Why are we wasting time on this again?

Challenging a 9m euro fine would be more expensive (lawyer fees) than just eating the fine, so I can understand their decision.
It doesn't mean guilt... but they might be guilty anyway, so meh.
"turn a gameplay experience on its head (sometimes literally)"
Goldeneye cartridge tilting totally counts if you're talking about literal cases.
This could apply to many things, actually. It doesn't have to be just games.
This isn't technically DRM, but it does what DRM has aimed to do while being amazingly clever.
Amazon Web Services and Windows Azure beg to differ.
Your comment loses all credibility not so much because of your lack of evidence but because of your use of "M$."
Also, your suicide joke wasn't funny.
That makes perfect sense to me.

It's just photosynth but with an effort applied at hiding the individual photos all while turning it into a game?

Then again, I just yoinked some shares for the sake of getting their divident (as well as selling them higher after next week).
Loaded with links, that is.
Really? Did we need 5 links in one sentence to convey a message which would've sufficed with at least two less links?
My email address is right next to my slashdot name. It's even easier to get it off of that than the image.
serials.ws is now no longer showing as harmful. It seems like they disabled the engine entirely.
