they specifically carved out an exemption where hate directed to CIS white males is acceptable. Do you have a link to a policy or some other written statement that this is the case? I find this difficult to believe without further informa

The article you link to literally says The OIG investigation found no support for Trump's claims that President Obama had ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower. I don't always trust the press either and some sources much less t

Thanks everyone, very interesting and probably worth further reading!

OK, sure, makes sense. But how do they know how old the rocks are? If not by carbon dating that is...

A similar thing happened to me when I was in my early twenties but with a US passport. We were out in the country a bit and I joked with my friend at the time that the guy serving us had probably never seen one...

I thought about that. And I ask, how so? A lot of the examples I could think of are about current law being applied to technology that not only did not exist when the law was written but, in a lot of cases, the people writing the law could

I totally agree but I also think the headline needs to include Police Robot Dog. I think in this case this is a great use for a tool like BD's Spot. But I also agree with the ACLU employee, Jongwook Kim, when he says “At some point

Apparently we touched someone's nerve - why we are being downvoted is beyond my comprehension. Guess we weren't serious 'nuff for the HN crowd. As I said in a comment a few days ago, sometimes I really miss /.

And now a favorite goal of small/medium business is to use computers to go completely paperless.

My understanding of that statement is that, with the advent of ubiquitous smart phones with cameras, there's not much room to believe someone's claim of alien abduction these days. If they have no picture or video to prove it then

If said street guy without the laptop kept paper records in a locked safe then those records would be subject to a search warrant and admissible as evidence. Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily disagree with you and I'm n

In the state I live the police can not force you to give up blood in a DUI case. What they can do is take away your license for a year if you refuse. Since you don't have a constitutional right to drive or a driver's license they

I know why people don't like them and I get that you are correct that it got pretty absurd on /. around the time period you mentioned. But I miss the jokes sometimes. I have to resist the urge to reference Rob Malda when I'm

How so? You realize it was written in Perl in the late 90's?

Yes, I was surprised to see a note on the home page that "It currently runs on Windows 95". But I also noted that it says at the bottom that the same page was last updated in 2017 so still somewhat active I guess? I never got into

That's a lot of really interesting stuff, thank you for the long reply. I did see the Dead, a lot, although I only saw JA once and it was after Starship and it wasn't great. Just a cheesy reunion at some protest in DC IIRC. Now wh

So where do the Grateful Dead fit in? There's audio from their Acid Tests with Ken Kesey in 1966 [0] - a lot of the music they are playing is more blues/country based but with a definite "psychedelic feel" to it. My unde

Came here to say pretty much this; add to that Bill Gates' "the internet is just a passing fad" attitude at the time, this comes across as a complete whitewash of history. I know it's just a PR fluff piece so it's n

This was my experience as well updating computers at a company I recently joined. Changing to an SSD had the most impact, although a lot of these machines already had 8GB of RAM. There are still a handful around that now have an SSD but sti

Well that's great, you're lucky. If that's the case than I'm sure your local, municipal government has no desire to get involved.

I'm not sure if they still use it but a site I redid for a company many moons ago in Perl had Apache set to treat .htm files as CGI scripts so we didn't have to change the previous, static site's URL's. The original site

GTK provides interfaces to many other languages but it's written in C.

All of which were heavy enough at the time to slow programs down enough that people chose to not use them in favor of faster, more portable C.

I'll admit I did not even attempt to report anything. I didn't have any meaningful symptoms after my first shot (Moderna) and the symptoms I had after the second were pretty bad but also everything I expected based on what I heard
