Comment Re:About right (Score 1) 246

Our government is EXPLICITLY forbidden from doing so.

Is the government also explicitly forbidden from permitting itself to do things differently in the future?

Its a fundamentally part of our law.

I'm not sure how fundamental it can really be considered to be, given that it's an ammendment to something else.

Comment That's not what astigmatism is - is it? (Score 2) 25

According to the linked Wikipedia page:

An optical system with astigmatism is one where rays that propagate in two perpendicular planes have different focus.

What the article seems to be about, though, is the way images as viewed in a VR headset get blurrier as you move away from the center, seemingly equally in all directions.

No, no, no - this is like if you dropped your wallet, and someone used the personal information inside (from your driver's licence, credit cards, etc) to steal your identity, get a credit card in your name, spend the bank's money, and leave you liable.

I trust that, like the judge in this case, you can now see why this is not a problem at all.

Uh...

You're supposed to read the actual article before opening your yap.

It's /. Respect the culture.

Or what?

First you say people should be reading the article, then you say /. culture should be respected. Those are mutually exclusive!

Yes, he did. He asked if the guy was "actually" extradited.

He said "Was he actually extradited by Russia" which doesn't imply that due process wasn't followed.

What part of "extradited" did you not understand?

It wasn't the "extradited" part that the GP had a problem with.

He was arrested in The Netherlands, and the Dutch agreed to extradite him.

The absence of this from the summary is what led the GP to ask his quite reasonable question.

No, he wasn't "nabbed" without process.

The GP never implied that he might have been.

Reading. Comprehension.

That's what I didn't get. Then I thought it was cleared up when I realised that:

people who tend to drive after using marijuana also tend to be more crash-prone in general

means "people who drug-drive tend to be in the other more crashy-crashy groups as well, like 'young males'." But then I thought, part of the reason they're more crashy-crashy might be precisely because they drug-drive...

Then I thought, well, maybe it's impossible to properly explain everything they did in one news article, and went to watch TV.
