I'm a little to young to have really been coherent during the Golden Age of pinball, but I have a huge affinity for it and find restoring old pin's to be one of the most satisfying weekend projects. I just wish the market wasn't as inflated as it currently is, nowadays most desirable machines cost more than the truck it takes to move it!

Very nice project, I will definitely be using it and will try to contribute in my spare time.

One recommendation I'd have is not to use the word 'safety' in this context, it feels kind of overprotective. Perhaps the link should read "Take me back to reality" instead?

From the sounds of it, it's more like Rad-X from the same games.

(Rad-X increases your radiation resistance, RadAway removes radiation poisoning)

Unfortunately, radiation poisoning is an often irreversible process - it involves the destruction of cells, muscle and tissue at a molecular level in a way that our bodies never were designed to be recover from. Majority of medical practices in this space focus on removing ingested or inhaled radioactive particles, to prevent further damage over time and keeping the patient alive and in relative comfort.

Out of context this sounds much worse than it is - the FBI forcefully took control of a hosting network that included 23 child-porn service sites. They then used it as a platform to serve malware to the visitors of the sites. Within a month, they shut down the websites.

I hate to say it, but HP has been reduced to a punchline in pretty much every space they used to be respected in. I wish that they would just let the brand die and rest in peace.

They could file suit in the US, but this will likely not have any effect as Chinese courts rarely will enforce US Judgements.

Filing suit in China would likely have more effective results, but this requires a great deal more time and effort, understanding of a completely different legal system, and faith in that system.

Really, most Chinese companies really can just say "So sue me" and close the door.

And how much is another one when I inevitably lose or break it?

We knew it was going to happen, but I am still disappointed the 3.5mm jack is gone.

I do not use Slack, Ryver or any other similar product, so I think I can safely say I don't fall in to the "slack fanboy" demographic that this article claims are upset by their ads.

That said, I think that running negative ads about your competition only shows weakness in a company. Don't use your marketing to tell me negative things about your competition, use it to tell me positive things about you. If you can't do that, then the problem isn't that Slack is bad, it's that Ryver is not strong enough to stand on it's own.

The eight survivors in this case survived because they understood what was happening and fled to high ground though.

You don't have to justify yourself to him, he's not going to listen anyways.

Investor A has no grounds to force you to pay their lawyers unless you signed an agreement stating otherwise.

Wouldn't surprised me if it's ultimately the source of the song's name, just in a different language or dialect.

If it took 20 years for the reverse engineer community to get to this point I wouldn't sweat it if you don't think you could do it on your own.

And it seems the author is refusing to even have a discussion on the name choice, closing any issues that are opened to address it without comment.

What a great missed opportunity...

If you think it was good, it probably was - all I remember about traditional kindergarten was hating it.

I'm not trying to pretend that was a victimless crime - it was bad and it negatively affected people, some to a deadly extent. But the degree of risk here for all involved is night and day compared between the two.

I think it's an important point to bring up, but I don't feel like the same people who were passing judgement on the AM leak are the ones raising concerns here.

But if I had to explain the difference, I think it's the differences in potential backlash on the affected users. Majority of Ashely Madison users were not in countries that would severely persecute them for their activities.

Given Apple's recent crusade for security of their devices, I would not be surprised at all if they obtained this patent for the sole purpose of preventing other companies from creating similar solutions.

I don't think so, I think it raises an interesting point about the flexibility of the definition of the word "terrorist"

At least here in Canada the term "track and field" is used to refer in general to running, jumping and throwing athletic sports.

I'd agree with you if it was say, an app for a tablet or something like that, but turning it into a dedicated machine seems like strech to me.

Initially really excited by the concept because I love pinball, what a letdown. Pinball is fun to play because people spend hundreds of hours carefully laying out a playfield of good shots and effective flow. These one-off doodle tables simply don't look like they would be fun to play.

When it is safe enough you can operate the vehicle without also being a responsible driver, then I'd agree with you. But it's not, as demonstrated by this thread.

I'm not sure how this story is relevant, it's well known that human drivers are more dangerous than self driving car. This particular case, while tragic, is not unique.

But this isn't a self driving car - it's automated cruise control. It's not going to let you snapchat and drive safely. You still need to be aware, and rhetoric that presents it as a solution to distracted driving is dangerous, leading to situations exactly like this one.

Sure it's still safer; that's not the point.

It's the 8-char password that I find absurd - that would take about 2 hours to brute force max.

Super interesting stuff.

I have to wonder how these debt refugees are getting their requests approved. Is German border policy lax enough that "I don't want to pay my debt" is enough to get citizenship?

Nothing is dystopian about the idea, it's the execution that will be the important part. What information are you imagining these contacts will display?
