Jon Stewart started this, of course, but he's better at raising interesting questions than he is at applying hard journalism to them.

Comment Not placebo (Score 4, Informative) 238
As the article points out, prescribing e.g. antibiotics is not truly placebo (something totally inert). Rather, they are looking for the placebo effect by prescribing something that's a real drug but not expected to help with the ailment in question.
Submission + - I'm not a spammer
tfinniga writes: A spammer has recently started using my domain name as "From:" addresses when sending out spam. I'm worried about my domain being blacklisted, and I'm annoyed by the bounces — I'm getting about 1000 bounce messages a day. Unfortunately, I give out a different email address to each site I visit: slashdot@example.com, paypal@example.com, amazon@example.com, etc., and the spammer is using a different address for each mail, so simple address filtering doesn't work.
What is the best way of avoiding being put on a blacklist, and dealing with the flood of bounces?

Submission + - Police objecting to tickets from red-light cameras
caffiend666 writes: "According to this Dallas Morning New article, any "...Dallas police officer in a marked squad car who is captured on the city's cameras running a red light will have to pay the $75 fine if the incident doesn't comply with state law...

How is this a case for or against governments relying on un-biased automated systems? Or, should anyone be able to control who is recorded on camera and who is held accountable?"

Feed ISPs On Selling Your Clickstream Data: No Comment (techdirt.com)
Last month there was a story floating around about how ISPs are making a lot of money selling off your clickstream data -- something they don't advertise, but which could have tremendous privacy implications. ISPs stayed pretty quiet following that and hoped the story would blow over -- but Broadband Reports points us to the news that the intrepid reporters over at Wired are calling up various ISPs to try to get a straight answer as to whether any of the big names are selling data on what you do online. So far, there seem to be an awful lot of "no comments" (or similar answers) on the list. While the ISPs seem to hope that this story will disappear, it has the makings of something that will come back to bite them in the future. Generally speaking, if ISPs are unwilling to admit to a reporter that they're selling customer data to third parties, that probably means they shouldn't be doing it...
