Greenwald, as a former lawyer, thinks that journalism is the same thing as "discovery" and is angry that Wired didn't share the chat logs they sourced with him so he could continue his rabid defense of Manning and Wikileaks. He has been attacking Wired and Poulsen ever since.
I know it's trendy on the interwebs to be all pro-Wikileaks and pro-Anonymous, but people really should be a little more critical in their reading.
Except for the fact that many of the other sites/services for which I use my email address have gone into the leaked torrent, found my email address, and locked my account and forced me to change my password, even though I haven't used the same password amongst the sites. I've spent the last week getting locked out of various places and having to come up with all new passwords
The only thing that Slashdotters need to remember is the next time they pile on *any* other group for being self-serving and close minded (Republicans, Environmentalists, Christians, Vegans, Wall-Street-types, what have you), remember how Slashdot overwhelmingly supported Childs, regardless of the evidence of his hubris.
People read at a variety of levels for a variety of reasons. Just because one person doesn't enjoy Joyce doesn't mean that there isn't another person who enjoys the challenge of wading through dense material. If someone doesn't enjoy using Linux, does that invalidate Linux as a useful operating system?
I point my router's DNS to OpenDNS.org and everything works great. If I type a BS domain I get the OpenDNS search page.
One idiot's Wordpress blog is enough to make it to the front page? I mean, I think Comcast is the devil incarnate, but there are plenty of legitimate reasons to hate them without making up BS stories.
Unless your daughter has special needs where if she got off the bus in a different location and wouldn't be able to communicate with responsible adults, I'd recommend taking a chill pill and going over to the Free Range Kids blog and realize that your job is to raise an adult, not a child.
When I was in first grade I was riding city buses in the 70's in the midst of crime that's probably ten times worse than today's climate. Get a grip.
So in all likelihood instead of having to send someone halfway around the world every time a story breaks we will simply pay a "bounty" to the local reporter that provides the best story.
I was "gifted" in high school (way above my peers academically), geeky, in the ethnic minority, "economically disadvantaged," had The Smiths on high rotation, but I was NOT stupid enough to videotape myself doing something that would earn me even MORE negative attention. Plus, I am not emotionally scarred because of this, mainly because my parents raised me to understand that teenagers are little shits to each other and that was a fact of life at that age. You may say that it is stupid that we should have to "tolerate" this behavior, but we deal with it in the same way we deal with the fact that we have to lock our car doors when we park outside if we want our stereos to be there when we get back to our cars.
Congratulations to Star Wars kid for cashing in on the suffering that every teenager who's not the Alpha Jock or cheerleader goes through.
1. Being surprised that an IP law firm doesn't want anti-DRM people working there. 2. The Village Voice wasting any resources on printing/posting this information.
I was all geared up to play 5 hours of WoW last night, and I got a call at the last minute for some emergency network engineering, and I zipped off, made $380, and still got an hour and a half of WoW.
That's not an addiction, then.
If you were an addict, you would have passed up the opportunity to make $380 in order to play WoW.
Or even how they did so well last summer after 4 hurricanes hit Florida. Gee, common denominator... FEMA... uncommon denominator... state government. Hrmmm maybe it wasn't FEMAs fault afterall.
2004 Florida Hurricanes - Election year in one of the nation's most populous states (plus the governor is the President's brother) 2005 hurricanes - Who cares?
Considering the number of version updates that have been released due to security holes, are they counting *unique* downloads? After all, I have downloaded 1.0.0 through 1.0.7, does that count as seven downloads?

"Keep your fanaticism to yourself."
A very ironic statement on your part.
Hi uhhhhh this is your uhhhhhhh captain, would someone mind checking my uhhhhhh Facebook page?
Can't wait until Steed and Peel break into song in the middle of a pursuit.

1. Why did they do this on a Monday, when lower Manhattan is jammed with workers, as opposed to a Sunday, when it's not?
2. Why keep it a secret? Were they worried terrorists would try to shoot the plane down or something?
So in all likelihood instead of having to send someone halfway around the world every time a story breaks we will simply pay a "bounty" to the local reporter that provides the best story.
And we'll end up with CNN's iReport.
Kind of curious why the city took the DHS grant in the first place. It wouldn't have cost the city a cent if they hadn't taken the grant.
Cambridge residents have a high tax burden, and a council making a decision that will cost the taxpayers over $250K raises a legitimate concern.
Sir, you have single handedly written the clearest, most insightful and logical post I've ever seen on Slashdot. So I ask, what are you doing here? ;-)

What is that, like 100000 per cent?

Even if you've been doing this for 20 years. If you are working with another technician, have the grace to treat them like an intelligent human being.
