Did they only poll nudist colonies? Everyone I know would much rather have a laundry robot that sorts/washes/dries/folds than a dish robot. Dishwashers already do 90%+ of what I want done with dishes.
I'll put in another nod to JuiceSSH on the phone. Minimalistic for the most part, but that secondary keyboard that pops up has exactly what you need that phone keyboards don't while being easily hidden when you don't need it.
Ah, the Machete Order http://static.nomachetejugglin... My favourite is actually a slight variation: 4 - A New Hope 5 - Empire Strikes Back 1 - The Phantom Edit (Fan edit version with lots of the hokey crap taken out. Actually makes it a decent movie. It's mentioned in the link above). 2 - Attack of the Clones 3 - Revenge of the Sith 6 - Return of the Jedi
Maybe 200 years in the future they managed to make flash memory ultra thin and flexible, and decided to string them end to end to be read or written sequentially?/me stretches
True revenue and profit reports aren't easy to get ahold of for the big ISPs. Yes, I'm sure the profits are higher in higher density areas. No, I never made any comparisons to prices paid in North America vs. Europe and Asia. The fact remains that the big ISPs took huge amounts of money SPECIFICALLY to provide broadband to rural areas. They can't then turn around and say they couldn't do it because the cost was prohibitive due to population density. They knew the populations when they took the money. You make a statement like the big providers are going bankrupt and tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about, without providing any sources?
And unfortunately that's going to be the downfall of net neutrality. Too many people who would prefer to have equal access to everything... until they can't watch their show without it buffering. The big ISPs know that the will to fight is low enough they can do what they want and get away with it.
If the FCC's new proposal passes, ISPs like Verizon and Comcast could also charge Netflix for faster direct connections to its customers over the last mile."
So the ISPs would be able to charge their customers for access (which is often tiered), companies like Netflix for access and then companies like Netflix AGAIN for faster access. The go to excuse that they use is that they're infrastructure can't support giving everyone everything, but they took billions from the government to build out infrastructure and then never did it. Oh, I guess that makes it quadruple dipping?
I might be missing something, but isn't it usually easier to get a back door into software than to seize a server? Reading the articles it's using or piggybacking on P2P, but you have to get the software from -somewhere- initially, and I assume there will be updates. Even if those updates are pushed out via the integrated P2P network, I'd imagine there's still ways they could compromise it. And wouldn't the tracking of user names make things more dangerous should the software be compromised?
That would be ideal, and there's nothing stopping the OpenSSL project from doing that.
Except for a lack of manpower and funding, which this fork is splintering even further. And the vague way that they say they're cleaning up OpenSSL when what they're doing is in fact forking it honestly strikes me as misleading. I don't mind that their out to make an OpenBSD specific fork of OpenSSL per se, just that if I'm going to fund something I'd rather fund getting it fixed for everyone.
That's what I was wondering. The summary is a little vague, and I didn't really get a whole lot of clarity reading the articles as to whether OpenBSD was cleaning up OpenSSL and forking it to LibreSSL, or just cleaning up the code AS they forked it to LibreSSL. It seems like the latter, and if they're not contributing back and keeping LibreSSL OpenBSD only (at least initially), they're solving a problem less than 1% of us are having rather than helping a whole lot more.
I'd much rather see the OpenSSL project itself get cleaned up (or forked/restarted for "everyone" if the code needs more than cleanup) than have it forked and cleaned up for JUST an OpenBSD implementation.

Cocksuckers!

That's what? 10 Macbooks?
When do they add the throwable chair?
If this joke goes over someone's head who's sufficiently dense, does that affect it's arrival time?
Derr, nevermind. You were saying the same thing. The - threw me off.

Why did you even mention gasoline?
Wait... so you're saying there's times when using a car analogy on slashdot ISN'T appropriate?
Oh wait, that's right, you keep going on and on about their monopoly.
Seriously? I never once mentioned monopoly. None of the 3 articles I linked mentioned monopoly once. So... never constitutes going on and on. Idiot.
Older article, but talks about how ISPs are making huge margins while actually reducing their capital investments:

Two more recent articles looking at the margins ISPs make:

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza Pi.
And calling it a phablet is like calling your car a corse. -.-
Sure, but when I inject DNA into someone's ear I get put on the sex offender registry.
My wife says I fail this test on a regular basis.
Maybe, but we all know she would have been better off with a car analogy.
