Sorry for the weird character set glitches, I am posting this from an iPad and I have no idea why it would happen

Shame on Slashdot for quoting such a patronising and minimising âoeexplanationâ of the Aboriginal flag situation. Mooreâ(TM)s design is not âoe(fairly simple)â, itâ(TM)s an iconic representation of a peopleâ(TM)s identity in a society which is hostile to their continued existence. The flag is a design classic and widely hailed for its sophistication. The quote presents the designerâ(TM)s decision to claim copyright for original work as if itâ(TM)s somehow greedy or unreasonable, and that the public should have the right to do whatever they like without respecting the designerâ(TM)s rights. Australiaâ(TM)s history of deciding that âoethe publicâ or âoethe Crownâ should be entitled to do what they like with the possessions and rights of Aboriginal people is long and shameful. Iâ(TM)m disgusted to see it presented as a supposedly reasonable view here,

Dude I teach the peer review process to undergrads, with specific emphasis on predatory publishing, I review for and am on editorial boards of actually rigorous journals, I have around 30 peer reviewed scientific publications and research grants, and I review research grants for national funding bodies. I think I'm pretty on top of things.

The publisher, Scientific and Academic Publishing, also appears on Beall's list of predatory publishers, i.e. publishers whose journals offer publication guaranteed by paying the article processing charge. They offer a figleaf of a "peer review" process but in practice, if you pay the charge your article gets published in their journal. The second-tier literature is saturated with this kind of crank publication which makes the jobs of working scientists (I'm one) a hundred times more difficult because there is basically no quality control and complete bullshit looks much the same as carefully conducted science unless you know what you're looking for. It's the apotheosis of the utterly broken academic publishing system. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, as the aphorism goes, not one person saying guys guys guys IT ALL CHECKS OUT.

Fun fact: the pink juices which come out of rare meat are not blood. They are the cell contents of the muscle fibres, which have their own pink substance to hold oxygen, called myoglobin. It has a heme group just like hemoglobin so it's reddish, but it's not blood.

This has been the case for at least 3-4 years, ever since Apple stopped including the JRE on OS X / macOS installs. It's nothing Adobe did, the application has been unchanged and perfectly stable for that entire time. More than I can say for Microsoft Word, to pick a random example.

Right, so your guesswork trumps my actual experience. Would you like screenshots or something? I guess those could be faked too. Maybe I'm a secret shill for software that can no longer be purchased. One can never be too careful.

Uh, Photoshop CS5 runs perfectly well on Sierra, I use it daily (along with Illustrator CS5) on 10.12.3. Sierra offers to trash installers after installation as a matter of routine. Feel free to write a Photoshop killer if you must, but not because you can't use perfectly functional software.

A moot point - it's not Thunderbird, it's Cisco AnyConnect: https://twitter.com/topherolso...

"I think I'd like a valve for adrenaline control." (a) no you wouldn't, it would be like cutting off half the internal regulation system which allows your body to work efficiently in sync with current and anticipated demands - literally, mission-critical regulation - and (b) the *experience* of adrenaline / arousal is generated by a separate system which distributes adrenaline around the brain - the adrenaline in your bloodstream comes from the adrenal gland and activates the tissues of the body, but the adrenaline in your brain is generated by a cluster of neurons called the locus coeruleus, and they secrete it directly onto the neurons. No way to shut that off except using drugs which block receptors (i.e. beta-blockers and related compounds).

Nobody said they were deliberately slowing it - just that they shouldn't have allowed people with that generation of hardware to install iOS9 because it made the phone unusable. I've no idea why, my wife's 4S runs the current update of 9 and it works perfectly well.

I assumed the power cable would be needed in both contexts ...

I get that all the listed equipment is needed to run the Pi Zero, but it doesn't *all* need to be connected and disconnected every time. If the adapters are left attached to the HDMI cable and USB hub, and the kb/mouse are plugged into the hub, you'd only need to plug/unplug the USB OTG and mini-HDMI to switch between development and testing. Or did I miss something?

Ah, no, fMRI doesn't give "movies of activity". As Anthony mentioned it tracks blood flow changes and give you a map of where it changed most when the subject performed a task. Nothing moves in the image. Nor does this technique leave cells intact, and nor can you use electric currents to "study the connectivity". You may want to check up on some basics.
