Re:The unmentioned BIGGER mistake...
Cool... thanks for the pointer, I've added to my delicious bookmarks about capabilities

Re:stand up and be countedYou seem to be under the illusion that phone information is not collected in an automated fashion. You were around for the wiretapping stories, right?
And actually -- it's the ones *not* using facebook are the ones scared into submission by the government. The ones using facebook are living our lives with the tools at our disposal and not being chased away from them by big brother's scary shadow.
And believe me - I'm a distrustful motherfucker when it comes to the government and the technology war (my set of collected links on the topic). I just think that in this case, it's neo-Ludditeism. Which I admit I cannot spell.

Finally 4 FF4!
Good news, specially the bit about "AVOS plans to release a new [Firefox 4] extension as soon as possible". The current Delicious extension leaks like a K.O. drunktard, which is pretty much the state they have kept it for a while. Hopefully "as soon as possible" happens before I forget how nice is to be social (as in, to have others type my tags for me
;). -
Re:Right-click, save as.
Interesting, yet a flaimingly tart response.
So how do you explain this?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website)
Delicious (formerly del.icio.us, pronounced "delicious") is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks
Or this.
http://www.delicious.com/help/learn
"...Delicious is a Social Bookmarking service..." -
What's Delicious?
If you're like me and have never heard of Delicious, it lets you "...save all your bookmarks online, share them with other people, and see what other people are bookmarking." (Taken from their learn more page.) It also lets you organize your bookmarks with tags.
-
Re:heh
I guess it depends on how you use the service. Personally, I never bothered to open an account there, but I'm subscribed to several bookmark RSS feeds, such as this one belonging to the Open Society Institute (aka Soros Foundation).

Yahoo! says this is not true.
from: http://blog.delicious.com/blog/2010/12/whats-next-for-delicious.html
Many of you have read the news stories about Delicious that began appearing yesterday. We’re genuinely sorry to have these stories appear with so little context for our loyal users. While we can’t answer each of your questions individually, we wanted to address what we can at this stage and we promise to keep you posted as future plans get finalized.
Is Delicious being shut down? And should I be worried about my data?
- No, we are not shutting down Delicious. While we have determined that there is not a strategic fit at Yahoo!, we believe there is a ideal home for Delicious outside of the company where it can be resourced to the level where it can be competitive.
What is Yahoo! going to do with Delicious?
- We’re actively thinking about the future of Delicious and we believe there is a home outside the company that would make more sense for the service and our users. We’re in the process of exploring a variety of options and talking to companies right now. And we’ll share our plans with you as soon as we can.
What if I want to get my bookmarks out of Delicious right away?
- As noted above, there’s no reason to panic. We are maintaining Delicious and encourage you to keep using it. That said, we have export options if you so choose. Additionally, many services provide the ability to import Delicious links and tags.
We can only imagine how upsetting the news coverage over the past 24 hours has been to many of you. Speaking for our team, we were very disappointed by the way that this appeared in the press. We’ll let you know more as things develop.

long live del.icio.us
It looks like there may be room for just a little hope: What's next for delicious? from the delicious blog.

Why not look it up?
Just look it up the delicious tag and you get 269086 Bookmarks!

Re:Sad
I'm moving mine to http://www.diigo.com/. You can import your Del.icio.us bookmarks once you exported them via https://secure.delicious.com/settings/bookmarks/export @ http://www.diigo.com/tools/import_all. You can also use this https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all to expor it as an XML.

Re:not surprised
Stumbleupon is a good one but Delicious seemed to have more variety in certain tags (eg. anime) and really if you used http://delicious.com/tag/nameoftag?random=1 you'd get a decent channel surfing bookmark right there. Every time you visit that bookmark, it'd redirect to a random page from that (nameoftag replaced w/ tag) tag. Well I guess I'd better start thumbing the hell out of what is worth stumbling before it's all gone.

Worst Decision by Yahoo
This is the dumbest move I see Yahoo doing, for shutting down the only Yahoo product left that is ACTUALLY USEFUL. (besides Flickr, but I don't use it anyway)
Seriously I am horrified and disappointed if this decision is for real. I have over 300 bookmarks stored in Delicious, and Delicious has been an extremely useful search engine for me. Because the search is based on social tagging that has gone through by human mind, Delicious is far more powerful than even Google for generic terms search, especially for single term queries that are too generic to return any useful results from other search engines. I don't know why such a useful site has become so less popular, but I believe it is just largely due to the lack of marketing and ignorance by Yahoo since the acquisition.
So far I don't know any other social bookmarking site that is better than Delicious. Perhaps I should start searching, but if anyone here in Slashdot knows one, please do tell me.
Anyway for those who are desperate like me to backup their Delicious bookmarks, here is the export link. -

Re:What am I supposed to do now?
You can export your bookmarks here: https://secure.delicious.com/settings/bookmarks/export
It's a standard Netscape bookmark file, so I expect other services to be able to import from it. But I haven't researched it yet.

Re:save lives by exposing military tactics....You seem to be as one-dimensional in your thinking as the people that started this war. And then you put words in my mouth -- a hilarious attack strategy also usually only used by idiot conversations. You're a funny man. It's quite easy to google what ClintJCL (me) thinks about the war:
http://delicious.com/clintjcl/warinafghanistan - The collection of links about the war, all of which are also integrated into my blog [but easier to read them on delicious].
You shouldn't make accusations against people (me) when those people can easily prove your accusations wrong. It just makes you look like a silly ideologue. Not everything is black and white.

Everything you need to learn is already availableEverything you need to learn is already available for free on the web. You just have to search harder to find them. I'd assume you want to enroll in university computer science as you are asking this in slashdot.
For pre-U education to brush up your knowledge, there's Khan Academy to teach you everything from primary school to even college.
For formal university level education, you can get many of them free directly from university. MIT Open Courseware is one of the well known examples. You can find a list of them at Open Culture. Google Code University is a less known but great site that helps you start and search on your online education journey.
There are also video lecture collection sites that contain lecture recordings from various universities, such as Academic Earth and Video Lectures.
You may also interested in less formal technology videos such as BestTechVideos and Google Tech Talks.
You can download a lot of ebooks from the web. Here is an example list you can found on Delicious.
In case if you are only interested in web design, IMHO the best way to learn design and multimedia is go to a real college. But anyway, there are tons of resources for web design too. Delicious is a must have search tool for you to get started.
I'd love to provide more links that I have but I'm short of time. But as always, Google is your best friend!

Even National Geographic distorts E-waste
I just want to thank the folks at Slashdot for posting e-waste stories like this. I've got 45 bookmarks on e-waste http://delicious.com/joerowe/e-waste I'm looking for other teachers to develop lesson plans for e-waste education. For example: National Geographic published a good story, but it contained some major myths. I've contacted NG and they refused to admit it's only a myth that computer screens from Monitex in Texas are turned into in low cost TV sets in Thailand. See the 5th picture in this set. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/01/high-tech-trash/essick-photography BTW: This story was well documented by the TV show 60 minutes, which you can watch online. See my bookmarks.

Re:i stopped reading hereNo, the root problem is that I don't agree with you. I IQ test at 150 and have studied the politics of the drug war pretty intensely for about 18 years. You basically just denied what I said and threw in an ad hominem attack.
You think the drug cartels are just going to lay down and stop operating if marijuana is legalized? Haha, good one.
The simple fact of the matter is the drug war does far more to hurt more people than any amount of drugs themselves. You do know we are the highest incinerator on the planet, and aruund half our prisoners are non-violent drug offenders. Meanwhile, California is out of money, and is letting murderers out of jail instead of pot smokers, and the drug war led the charge at erasing civil rights, setting up the stage for the war on terror to continue. But hey. Blame it all on the substance. When police lie and set people up, something that happens every day, ignore the freedom that is taken away, and whine about the other bees in your hive not producing as much honey as you think they should. Your ignorance on the matter becomes more apparent with each passing comment. I suggest you catch up on the last 15 year's news, and maybe read the DRCNet weekly news letter for a decade.
You do realize over 20,000 people have been killed in the drug war in Mexico since Calderon took office. But hey! It's the drug's fault! Everyone knows drugs make you murder! Gosh!

Re:What about the presumption of innocence?You forgot this: )))))))))
I lived there for 24 yrs.
Yes, legislators ARE responsible for the actions of LEOs, just as a CEO or commanding officer is responsible for the behavior of their subordinates. Taser are a good example. Cops couldn't use them, legislators gave them to them, a bunch of people died, and now legislators are starting to take them away. Oh, the individual is definitely responsible: But the leader is responsible too. It's not all or the other. There's plenty of blame to go around. I'll Hitler it up and say: It didn't just take Hitler's policy to create abuse, it took individuals. But neither could do it without the other, and "just following orders" has proven to not be a valid excuse.
The existing procedures for handling LEOs that are out of line are a sham. They don't exist. Officers get re-instated even after they get fired. Their unions are powerful. They pass laws stating that disciplinary records get hidden from the people. They get hired as officers elsewhere -- even when they get criminal records. It's called the Thin Blue Line, and I'm almost at the 100 link mark: http://delicious.com/clintjcl/thinblueline -- Note the guy at the top. 31 disciplines and he's still an officer. Think if you had 31 written disciplines on record at your job you'd still have it? I gotta call bullshit on existing procedures. And wonder how you don't realize that.
Laws to check on people after their arrest are fine. The people fighting those are stupid. But any "papers, please" is bullshit, and anything that can be selectively enforced based on appearance is even worse.
-
Re:What about the presumption of innocence?In case you haven't noticed, our 'democracy' has been becoming increasingly less free and more of a police state due to abuses of authority. Your "let the courts sort it out" system has not been working. The best system is one that doesn't lend itself to abuse.
It's only a matter of time until someone films and posts to YouTube an example of this law being abused in such a way that it costs taxpayers even more money than actual immigration enforcement. I don't need a time machine to know I've been proven right. But I invite you to PM me in a year [put it on your calendar or something] and we'll see what happens. (Hint: You'll lose, and the abusing cop will, within 3 years, be back in business.)

You just proved my point.God you're naive. Did you not read the Seattle case posted on Slashdot just a few days ago? I have to question what subset of news you've been reading, because you clearly have a distorted view of reality.
I'm not going to take the time to make these clickable, because if you're not willing to copy and paste, you only prove my point that you are avoiding news reports about reality:
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/DN-arrest_24met.ART.State.Edition1.4c46a6a.html Gee, funny how they didn't get recorded.

Not directly related, but, uh, cops can lie, and this law is going to target pedestrians as much as drivers: http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=11&articleid=20100409_11_A17_Aforme19933

Wake up, man. I got all these stories from the first 3 pages of my own link collection at http://delicious.com/clintjcl/abuseofauthority
... If I went through all 76 pages of my link collection, I'd have a litany of examples showing that your attitude is not at all realistic. If I expanded my search beyond those stories I've personally read, I'd have even more.Go ahead and make an ad hominem attack about my comments on the links. It's kind of what I expect at this point.

go ahead, pull the wool over your own eyes
Let's see how long you last when being followed by a cop that has it in for you. Especially if he's willing to lie, like more than enough cops are.

OSSIMplanet, pTolemy3D, Virtual Ocean and more
NASA World Wind is the most popular afaik, but there are others, including OSSIMplanet, pTolemy3D, Virtual Ocean and quite a few other ones depending on your requirements.

Re:"Innocent until proven guilty"First off, you can bet cops will have pull to not be published. Second off, you're kind of asinine/assholey {ass-something, perhaps hat...}... What if you're having a diabetic seizure and mistakenly reported as drunk? Later you can't get employed because archive.org has a copy of this tweet that will never go away. Innocent until proven guilty exists for a reason. Punitive dicks like you want to mess up the balance in favor of casting a few innocent people into your safety net. Oh, and in case you think nothing happens to diabiets, eat it: http://delicious.com/clintjcl/diabetics
That's just one example. Rest assured there are more, and there are things we haven't thought of. In many jurisdictions you can be charged without a breathalyzer.
Think things never go wrong with the DUI process? Here's some more links to think about: http://delicious.com/clintjcl/dui. I especially like the forceful catherization of your penis because a breathalyze showed no DUI. But in your world, you'd permanently mar these people, guilty or not. Have fun with your fascist prictatorship.

Re:Social Bookmarking?
It's a service (like del.icio.us) that replaces the need to email links around to groups of friends/co-workers/whatever all the time in order to share ideas. May sound fluffy to you, but if you have friends you like to share stuff you find online with, they're actually quite useful.

Re:My website does this
Interesting concept, I might like to join.
However, before I do, .. a couple of questions.What is your business model ?
Presumably you aren't doing all this for free (someone must be paying for the web servers to run it on), so what data do you collect and who do you sell it to ?We know delicious is owned by Yahoo, so they probably use it to provide additional data for their search engine.
If you are just two people doing it for the good of mankind, then congratulations. I'm impressed.
In which case, you need a page that outlines your privacy policy, with details of what would happen to all that interesting data you will have collected if/when you get an offer you can't refuse from one of the big players.Sorry if this is a bit tin-foil-hat, but the big FaceBook connect button on your registration page made me wary. FaceBook do not have the best reputation regarding data mining and privacy policy (basically, they own your data and can sell it to whoever they want to).

There is a new iteration of delicious in development/testing:

Its at delicious.com too:

So they haven't changed it *yet*. -
Re:Another blow for outsourcing
