Some of the recent updates for Java SE have included "Java Quick Starter". And for those with Ubuntu, there are a number of things that show up in the Add-ons list that are not explained well.
Quiet liberal. Cloning is the manly, patriotic way of doing things. I bet you're one of the types who thinks we should worry about global warming before the ice caps melt, huh?
Just start fixing shit until you no longer have annoying dependencies. Bug-trackers are like interest on a loan - if you don't pay off the principal (the bugs themselves), you'll never get anywhere.
I like how, even with Gates gone, everything that happens at Microsoft is attributed to him. If he knew about this product, he would probably call it the dumbest fucking idea he's ever heard.
The passwords might have actually been encrypted. Nowhere in any of the articles provided does it say otherwise. It is likely that there was some sort of encryption being done. It's unfortunate that they did not provide more details.
The arstechnica article and the Slashdot summary do not make it clear that the 2/3 figure includes people who don't use the Internet at all. For dial-up users, price/availability accounts for about 1/2 of the people who don't have broadband.
You're always going to have people who don't adopt a new technology. These people shouldn't be used to not improve the technology for the rest of us.
The obsession with energy efficiency is so frustrating. Many of the improvements are done by using technologies that require more toxic materials, which just make it someone else's problem in the short-term (e.g., Guiyu). Our energy problems will be solved either by making energy production cleaner, or by decreasing the use of electronics (GASP!). They won't be solved by trying to use less energy to do the same thing.
There is nothing special about secure sites. HTTPS doesn't mean "this site is super special and you should do special things with it". This same attack can be applied to non-secure sites, too.
According to Reuters, Potsdam University in Germany is now teaching social skills as part of their IT courses. This is intended to 'ease entry into... a superficial model, who will... love... the end... after realizing that he is... inside.
The most interesting part of this operation was that they apparently impersonated legitimate businesses, created advertisements for these businesses, and then had them placed on high-profile websites. The buyers of these ads typically had no idea anything was wrong because the ad code was both obfuscated and would only redirect the user to the bad website a small percentage of the time.
The DS is awkward to hold, even more so when it's on its side. The screens hold only a small amount of text. Books are FREE to read at a library, and they don't require electricity!
The original part of the extension is actually just a fairly short Greasemonkey script. For some reason, they packaged it with a bunch of other stuff from Greasemonkey. It's pretty poor quality code, to be honest.
Physical punishment would go a long way in stopping this crap. When it goes from costing a few people some money to threatening our entire society, it's time to up the ante.
Clearly we need to be giving more original names to these things. What will happen when humans colonize the planet?
Mr Mars: "So, where do you live?"
Mr Mars: "I live on Mars Street in Mars City."
Mr Mars: "Oh really? So do I! Where do you work?"
Mr Mars: "Mars Corporation."
Mr Mars: "No way!"
Mars Dog: "woof woof"
The article says the system was in use for "about 2 per cent of the electoral roll". The summary says "about 2% of all electronic votes were lost". lol wut?
The deletion summary on Wikipedia says "GFDL presumed". All images on Wikipedia must have a proper license - in this case, it doesn't appear to have had a free license (it was tagged with {{logo}}, which at the time doesn't seem to have included any information regarding copyright). If you want to use it on Wikipedia, you'll have to release it under a free license.

Maybe they can use the DMCA to outlaw abortion! And create world peace! And make me dinner!

Was this idea invented by Shampoo?
I'm glad the summary specifies that they were born in the US. Because otherwise it would be okay to treat them like dirt, right?
IDCLIP is the one you're looking for.
The patent troll in question, which won't win this suit, is based in Detroit. They are likely completely out of money and have nothing to lose.
You must be new here.

What do they have to defend? What is illegal about this?

Two - the number of consecutive stories on Idle posted by samzenpus that have been about smell.
If the title of the next Idle story isn't "Silent But Deadly", I'm going to be incredibly disappointed.

"Back end" is in quotes because he's referring to anal sex, right? RIGHT?
