Having any major cooperation do openness for the sake of openness is impossible when it will cost them substantial amounts of money(as with AT&T). Honestly who would stay with AT&T if they had a choice. I personally have AT&T but that is because Verizon T-mobile and sprint have very poor signal in my hometown so the entire town including all my friends had Cingular. If they allowed the iPhone to be open to all privers then AT&T would lose a lot of money and that is why they don't do it. But we will beet them in the end, hackers will always overpower the providers in these matters.
So far there has been no comment on how a Linux user group is going to help sorority girls with their Windows machines.
Isn't it obvious, by installing linux.
Actually most trained professionals generally maintain calm when preparing to kill someone.
Its only untrained schmucks like us out here in the "regular Joe Bloggs world" that start pushing lots of red stuff through our hearts when we're about to do something we're not accustomed to (on slashdot, that is equal possibilities, sex or killing... j/k). Government's solution arrest all the people who are calm because of course they must all be trained professionals.(This is a joke,I have noticed some people may not realize that)
I don't know what planet you are from but when having sex don't most males push a lot of that "red stuff" to a different organ?
When did I ever say it was easy and fast to pick a lock? Plus at schools people will only have short amounts of time with the computer before the risk of being caught is too high(see It Takes A Thief on the Discovery Channel) and some schools also have security cameras. At home you may have hours with full access to the computer and you can practice on a different lock.
If the lock used to lock the case shut was remotely decent, the only way someone else will be able to use the computer is to break either the lock or the case or both. Or try all the combinations possible starting from 0000 to 9999 assuming it is a 4 digit numerical lock. Trust me it doesn't take all that long to do just one day alone or multiple days with small increments. I have been forced to do this when I forgot a combination or when my father tried the same thing when I was younger(until he realized I knew more than he does about computers).
First they complain about the ads and then there are people block firefox users because some people remove ads. Yes they are different groups of people but there is no pleasing everyone. The only thing that you can do is please the most amount of people without losing money. I personally use Adblock plus with the Filterset.G add-on but if I believe in supporting a website(such as slashdot) I will whitelist the site and voluntarily view the ads.
Does their study show why Conservatives want to blame all their problems on Mexicans I resent that, we blame thing on liberals too:P
But in all seriousness those are just stereotypes and doesn't help create open discussion about problems this country may face now or in the future. I am conservative but I believe that we need to be doing somethings differently. Just because someone is conservative doesn't mean they fully support the President and just because someone is Liberal doesn't mean they are "a bunch of pansies that want to back out of a war we need to win". Just because someone defines themselves as a liberal or a conservative or somewhere in between doesn't mean that they fit in that category perfectly.
Every site has its target audience just like almost every corporation does. All this seems to be doing is defining the target audience. If Slashdot's website wasn't based on "News for Nerds stuff that matters" then I bet there would be less geeks and nerds on this site... that is what digg is for.

I didn't know regular DVDs let "a paying customer - the freedom to do what I want with my movies" Isn't circumventing the encryption illegal because of the DMCA?
$487.99 for Blue-ray Vs. $150... wonder who will win that aspect to the format war?
The only thing that may limit this format is whether the movie companies will pick it up, and more importantly the porn industry.
I know geeks with 15 servers in their basement...
Goto any technical school school and you might find one in most dorm rooms!
I have one heating my room this winter in addition to my laptop.
Does anyone know the number of miles per gallon that this gets I read the article and it didn't seem to mention that.
Maybe they should go with the super lightweight idea with cars instead of big blocks of metal with wheels... yes Hummer I'm talking about you.
Ringtones can be made in iTunes, but they charge you an additional 99 cents, even if you've already purchased the song. This is beyond assinine, paying for a feature that, by common sense, one would assume is a simple built-in function of the iphone. Oh and paying $2-3 for half a song is any better?

So since when is poison causing bodily harm and unusual feeling news?
Wow I miss read that one...

They would be very lucky if that was the case

Just Google it!
In Soviet Russia you don't steal music, music steals you.
As a college student I have to say what the hell are these paper and pencils I keep hearing about. Is it supposed to be a form of laptop replacement?
I don't know what planet you are from but when having sex don't most males push a lot of that "red stuff" to a different organ?
Is it safe to SEED again?

You can pick locks too. They don't cost all that much only around $15.
Also even if you break the lock, you can always just buy a replacement and hope it isn't noticed.
Give up now it is a losing battle.
