If they told everybody "your info was hacked" while they hadn't cleaned it up yet, a bunch of folks would have logged on and changed their passwords, immediately exposing the NEW ones. You clean up first, then you engage the PR folks.
The inflexibility of Unity for anyone who uses two monitors and has Linux on the right-hand one led me to switch to KDE. This is most likely a permanent switch.
Also, Open means "there is no NDA preventing you from sharing your thoughts and screenshots", whereas Closed Beta (and the beta cycles before that, yes there were non-Cryptic people testing this game long before Closed Beta) was Closed because it was bound by NDA.
As one of the moderators of Cryptic's official IRC channel for this game, I was darn glad to see that NDA go; most of my job is banning jerks, but NDA enforcement required punishing nice people. That's not fun.
Actually, PE did license some of their code out; to Bioware, who's using it in Star Wars: The Old Republic. All Cryptic got from them was some concept art, which they did use.
Researchers believe that the ability to stimulate or quell activity in specific areas of the brain may help in treating conditions like epilepsy and migraine headaches.
You're making the "I'm a Libertarian, he's a Libertarian, I think this, therefore he thinks this" fallacy.
His answer to whether we should consider the Chinese and Indian space programs threats or opportunities is that we shouldn't be subsidizing their defense. The only way that answer makes sense is if it means "Americans shouldn't be giving money to Chinese and Indian businesses" because that's how we're subsidizing their defense.
The question then becomes, by what means does he propose to prevent this? Or is his non-answer so non-answerish that it parses to "I wish I had a pony"?
Why don't you write a song or book or create a painting, and I'll copy it. Lets see how quick you change your tune.
You realize you're throwing this challenge down to a group largely consisting of people who regularly write copyrighted works of computer code and contribute them freely to the world, right? Most of those here who don't have a coding credit to their name make extensive use of those works, contribute testing and bug reports, etc. You're talking to people who already put their money where your mouth is. You're doing it on a site that's owned by a company whose entire mission statement is facilitating that, and which makes money doing it.
And in regards to Amazon, you might keep in mind what happened when they started offering their Kino-thing; all previously-purchased DRMed PDF and LIT files in your library were removed. At the time of purchase they were touted as something you'd have available forever, and due to the way the DRM works you need that availability, but Amazon got rid of them when they came out with their own competing product.
The company that works nicely with you this time to re-license your content might not do that next year.
Yet another triumph of Slashdot posters reading a story that says A, and posting a headline that says B. Followed by tons and tons of trolls about why B is bad. I swear Taco must have a perl script that makes these things up automatically.
But that's the point; he only has anti-virus installed and DOESN'T use any of the tools that CAN detect other malware types, so he ISN'T actively looking for malware.
Whereas his lack of a firewall means that malware is actively looking for him. Based on the number of malware-indicating signs I get in my logs every day on my firewall, running on a dynamic IP on RoadRunner, I'd be very surprised if said malware isn't looking directly at his IP address many times a day, some of it using vulnerabilities he can't yet have patched for the simple reason that patches for it don't yet exist.
Oh come on. Read the comments on any TV show torrent and tell me Demonoid's users are there for medical textbooks. You are, maybe; but most of Demonoid's users are there for TV shows, current hollywood movies, Windows games, and comic books, to judge by the usual output of browsing the new torrents.
What "really did" was really ask a question about something where I really didn't know the answer and really wanted the person to whom I was replying to really expand.
I'm not sure in what crazy alternate universe that's trolling, but I'm pretty much done with Slashdot and this just puts the last nail in the coffin. Deleting bookmark now.
Not to mention the fact that they didn't reach the conclusion there were three bullets; they just reached the conclusion that it wasn't PROVEN to be two. It is still possible that there were only two, and it is still possible that it will be proven to be two. It is also possible that there were only two, but that it will never be proven that there only two.
None of this will have any material bearing on what 99% of the people who have an opinion on this matter think.
Yes, but if we outlaw the manufacture, possession, or sale of hardware, then Linux won't be able to get any, and the tragedy of wasted power will end! Think of the children!

Yeah, because it's not possible for programs to detect they're running in a VM...
I'll be bookmarking this and referring people to it for a very long time. Oooh, look, project re-use! :)

Or Liberalism.
Since I came this close to forking it myself over a similar disagreement, I'm not at all surprised this happened. They're control freaks.
On the contrary, we're easy to find, because we're not allowed to go anywhere.
If I knew how to break into your house, then told you that I was able to but won't tell you how unless you paid up a fee?
I'm sure that you'd easily come up with a lot of reasons why it isn't cool.
Dunno about other countries, but in the US, I couldn't compel you to tell me. Unless I GOT broken into, and then the cops would question you about it.

This is why even Neal Boortz says Paul is a kook.

Hmmm, who do I listen to; the guy with the Ph.D. in cosmology, or the Anonymous Coward who posted not logged in so he wouldn't lose his moderation.

When I saw the headline I figured this was a database of people who DON'T work, and Congress would seed it by placing their own names in there.
