Sadly, this isn't just a story about the IRS.

This is a story about pretty much any organization that has too little oversight and accountability.

You type pretty well for a dead guy.

The only people refusing to get vaccinated are the religious nut jobs here.

And they are the only ones getting the disease.

Please try again.

That's OK. That's where the "dirt" is found.

Anyway, it has always been worth what you pay for it.

I did not RTFA (this is Slashdot you insensitive clod) but maybe the poor Zebrafish were just blinded by all the booze and therefore couldn't see the threat, which is not a behavioral change at all.

The truth is pretty simple: People who want to be distracted while driving will find a way to be distracted while driving. Doesn't matter if it's a cell phone, spacing out thinking about other things, eating a Royale with Cheese or any number of other possibilities. You can write laws until you're blue in the face but you aren't addressing the behavior with any of them. What we need is smart automobiles that can tell when the driver is getting a blo---errr, is distracted, and can compensate accordingly. Maybe even by driving the car autonomously for a few moments. Obviously it's not a coincidence that Google is working on just that kind of tech right now.

Missed a big portion of America: people who check their phones, even though they aren't on the clock, because they LIKE what they do and want to stay in the loop.

Ah so just getting the detectors in place. Thanks.

If they have created hydrogen atoms already, why wouldn't they just check to see if those atoms fall to the bottom of the container, or float to the top? I would guess these atoms are stored in a vacuum, so buoyancy isn't a concern.

Elastic? For a cloud? Yeah....I suppose.

I'll never play this, but I'm sure some people will enjoy it very much. I continue to wait for Titan.

No, there still is. It's just in little pieces all over the place now. It's a lot harder to render THAT than a bar of something.

As an avid amateur photographer I once tried lower-end, slower SD cards. The wait between shots of ~1 second (disregarding the camera buffer) means you cannot even preview your shots during that time. Instead you get to wait with a nice blinking LED on the back of the camera until the preview is ready. I found this nearly unbearable after only a dozen or so shots and when I got a chance I immediately spent the money on a faster card that allows previews basically immediately. NOTE: I am using a D800, so your mileage may vary on this... with 36mp RAW files I was waiting several seconds to just preview a shot.

Using your cheap DAC in that tablet to play music is practically a crime, or should be. It's going to sound terrible. There are some decent DACs out there for $99 that can run via Android with some customization. I realize this is more than the cost of your tablet... but seriously man, the sound is world's better.

A person in a position of power abused that power? Well color me surprised! I'm sure this has everything to do with DHS and nothing at all to do with the fact that every imaginable authority organization has had people who abuse their power since the dawn of time. Why is this news? Pursue your problem, get it resolved... But this is not "news for nerds" by any reasonable stretch of the imagination.
