Yes, but Israelis are not likely to go batshit insane and start shooting at each other, because there are already enough real enemies out there. In a country that has never had a war inside its borders for one century the situation is completely different.
This is purely political terrorism egged on by a political party that doesn't seem to have a human heart, in particular, Sarah Palin.
This may have earned the flamebait mod. Palin did include Giffords in a black list of people responsible for abortion laws, there is no evidence that this was the reason behind the shooting.
It seems to me that the verdict states that the probability and possible damages of a human error were too high, due to poor planning of safety features. I don't think it is really much different from what you say.
Even a master student or a PhD student does not work independently. That kind of thing happens at a higher stage after you worked and experienced many types of research, have collaborations and know where to get your ideas. And most importantly you can judge if an idea is worth investigating or not. This kids just got an early start on that, don't knock them down just because they don't get a Nobel right away.
One of the kids is named Lotto and so is the corresponing author (which is not one of the kids, but affiliated to the laboratory). It looks like the experiment was designed by a parent. Nothing bad with that, of course. The teachers were smart in making good use of the opportunity.
If the bank thinks it is a scam they should sue the guy, not take his money away. If truly the bank cleared the check it means they guaranteed the money was there he had all the reason to think he could use it. Let's say he spent on a car and the bank finds it is a false check after clearing, no third party involved, they would sue him for fraud. He should have won this case.
Given that Ubuntu is working on an app store as well there's at least some kind of a chance for an open alternative to Apple's walled garden.
In my time we called those repositories. The micropaying system on the other hand is pretty new, since back then Linux used to come with all that is needed attached.
Is it not possible that the judge just wanted a particular verdict and used this as an excuse to replace a jury that was reaching a different conclusion? It would explain why he speaks of "tainted" and did not try to "correct the wrong" and proceed.
Capitalism will solve this problem as all the others. Soon Monsanto will be announcing genetically modified bees that will resist to the pesticide.
All will be well, except that these bees will somehow kill all cows. At which point Monsanto will give us those better, iron-skinned OGM cows they are working on *right* *now*.
They are incredibly strong and resistant, so much that your head will explode when you try to chew their meat. Enter the OGM humans. They can shoot laser beams and fly and have two dicks. All is well but Monsanto does not produce females to avoid stealing their patented DNA. The human race will last other 30 years in masturbation and vanish.
As you can see everything will work out perfectly.
ok, maybe not, if they are really hit by a DDOS...
Just to explain my position, let's say Mastercard said in 2008 "you know, we don't really want people to donate to Obama, from now on you cannot use our cards to give him your money". Let's say Visa did the same, and maybe Paypal too. Is that a business decision or a political one? (hint: Mastercard and Paypal admitted that the US gov pressured them)
So basically every company is somehow now obligated to do business with Wikileaks or else they have to face their business being interrupted by a bunch of script kiddies?
Did anyone claim this? Are you really that dishonest when you discuss? It is disgusting.
So if I don't like the comments on Slashdot, it's perfectly acceptable for me to rent a botnet and DDOS shut Slashdot down?
Are you asking me if you can? You can. You are free to do anything not illegal and IMO something as mild as DDOSing slashdot if you want to. They might sue you, but that's their business.
Now if you ask if you would be on the same moral ground, nope. You are just a jackass. Here we deal with censorship. If it happened in Russia we would be all high and moral against corruption and oppression. It happened to the US, and I am going to do the same.
Don't you feel ashamed that *Putin* is lecturing "the west" on democracy and free speech? I do.
Mastercard and Paypal admitted that they pulled the plug under pressure from the USG. Why do you think Visa and Amazon did it?
A good 50% of US people here claims that the right to bear arms is to revolt against oppressive government. Let's see where they stay on this one non-violent revolt...
There was no business reason for Amazon to quit working with Wikileaks, they did nothing illegal. Amazon interfered in the freedom of Wikileaks to appease US and other governments. This is the thing that justifies a truck on the front door, IMO. If we accept their behaviour USG can effectively destroy freedom of speech by proxy. Do you think this is much different than having US arrest Assange and seizing his properties?
That post is bullshit. It calls fork what is not (only the head developer and a few others of kword stays in "the root", all the rest go to "the branch") and says that Calligra will not be associated with KDE (false, they use kdelibs and the same repos, sites bugzilla...). Basically it is one last desperate attempt to gain support by a guy that pushed away a majority of developers and split the community.
You don't need a simple formula with elementary functions to make an integral, you can easily do an *exact* integral of a broken curve. In fact it is easier. and you can also integrate any polynomial fit or interpolation, as well as many non-polynomial ones. The slashdot crowd is perfectly right. If you think there is any problem you don't really know the definition of integral or the definition of curve.
And actually you have the same mind set when it comes to web pages: asking for a page that's formatted for your specific screen size, whatever that may be. Then you're making it worse, because screen size - and pixel size, dictating number of pixels to get a certain size and readability - varies per device. The various iPhone incarnations have roughly the same screen size, however their pixel sizes vary a lot. So if say a 10px letter would be the minimum readable size on the first iPhone, it's probably not readable at all on the latest iPhone model.
Not exactly, I was (rhetorical question, of course) asking why of all the information they want my browser to spread around the world there is not the most important one that would help them to make *useful* pages. I do not hold hope that the web will ever become what it was supposed to be: a network of content equally accessible from any device. But do not think I would not want it.
For example I cannot drag the threshold bars in slashdot on my phone. How stupid is that? Yet crappy javascript is appearing everywhere.
So they basically decided that it's best for them to have web developers out of control from adobe even if they cannot take said control. Good news.
However I still fail to be excited by HTML 5. IMO it fails spectacularly at anything they said it was good at. It creates huge privacy holes, makes it difficult to segregate components and still is not well suited to the mobile platorms. How do I activate an onHover() on my cell phone? Why does every page have a different idea on how large my screen is? On my desktop I have to zoom in if I want to read sites, because they can fix the font at 0.0001pt, on my cell phone I have to scroll horizontally every line. Let's forget that presentation should be decided by the client not the server, but at least why cannot they send a page formatted for *my* screen? With HTML5 they can know everything: where I am and my family tree, why can't they fucking look at how big my window is?
HTML5 is a travesty of a standard. I hope it never flies off as is. Unfortunately it probably will.

They were health care supporters, I see. In my country media put a stress on the abortion support...

If you believe that a gun or two will shoot down a tyrant you are an idiot.
I would say delusional, but you will never actually see an armed revolt crushed down precisely because it would be crushed without effort.
Governments around the world do not fear people armed with guns, they fear people armed with cellphones, especially camera-equipped ones.
Are you sarcastic? I ask because on Slashdot you may really find someone who believe this is true.

That would be a super easy way to lock a competitor out of the market. Further proof that this kind of power should not be allowed to exist, ever.
The USG is not taking Wikileaks to court either, is it?
If the bank thinks it is a scam they should sue the guy, not take his money away.

Enough with the crazy doomsaying.

Not paining a very good picture of their community there, is he?
Is it so bad that people want to work?
To support Wikileaks, give it money.
Right! Which credit card should I use for the donation? Mastercard or Visa?
ok, maybe not, if they are really hit by a DDOS...
Just to explain my position, let's say Mastercard said in 2008 "you know, we don't really want people to donate to Obama, from now on you cannot use our cards to give him your money".
