To be fair, this is one of the better days. Facebook is only on the front page twice. This story, and once annoyingly name dropped in the Wi-Fi Encryption story where it has NO relevance.
It's my hope that people will soon STFU about facebook. It's just a propitiatory communication platform, in a long line of them, after all.
Another slashdot story that takes an established event/concept/thing and makes a big deal about it because somehow facebook/twitter/social-net-dujour is involved.
I always wonder if these stories have organic origins, or bubbled up from some PR department.
Somebody on slashdot converted me from a google homepage user, to a firefox search bar user about a year ago now, and I've never looked back. The homepage really does suck-donkey-dick, and will only suck more going forward as stuff is added. But unfortunately the javascript will now need to be blocked on the results page too.
Does anyone find this instant-o-matic-crap actually slows them down, as the page jerks around to the firing of javascript setTimeouts?
Has anyone made a bot that "plays" facebook yet? I bet a bot could be very socially successful on facebook, given the depth of the interaction. We could approach machine intelligence by lowering the standard for the Turing test.
Security is best outsourced entirely to a company with a metal effect logo and lots of padlocks on their website. The most important aspect of security is the visualisation shown to the end user. All workstations should be protected by at least a green spinning cube. Voice recognition or hand print scanners are the way forward. Light your server room from above very slow spinning fan blades. Factor in around one henchman in black, per 100 servers. Have web access to all critical systems. input[type="password"]{ font-size:1000%; } Have a physical self-destruct (as in a bomb), to destroy all your unencrypted data, if you simply get overwhelmed by Russian hackers in quasi-futuristic clothing.
You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed with nausea, insomnia, somnolence, anorexia, anxiety, nervousness, asthenia, tremors and reduced libido. You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
This will be the end of societies that allow themselves to become mired like this. Take India for example. Generic drug industry = I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!
Do I need to remind you that you have a choice in what products you buy?
Buy something that is open/hackable/geek friendly. Buy batteries that can be rebuilt by the user using only a screw driver and soldering iron. Buy laser printers that have a toner refill port. Buy routers that can be reflashed with your choice of firmware.
Who gives a FUCK about apple. Why does/. even have an apple section?
A startup could preserve captial by using openoffice, and starting a precident of not getting locked in right off the bat. "The cloud" is not the horse to back.

Only three things are certain in life. Death, taxes, and getting your organs harvested by the government.

Does it work in the cinema?
No, but your desktop system will fit into a manilla envelope.
You have a dom female rabbit, and a sub male rabbit with a face-sitting fetish? ... That's amazing.
I've hated facebook since before it was cool to hate facebook.
Well spotited

I just calculated my height in rack untits, just in case I need to hide in the server room one day.
I would need around 40U to stand "comfortably".
Those who would give up essential liberty for a little ball rubbing action, deserve neither.

At room temperature; yes.
SSL can be delegated to a PCI-e crypto accelerator board.
Perhap the same would work for privacy violation?
We will make e-book readers so cheap that only the rich will burn paper books.
I won't accept ebooks until I can get a digital DRM enforced coffee stain on it.
Had a friend confuse bulbs of garlic with cloves of garlic. Niiice.

We've come a long way since replacement batteries that cost as much as the laptop/phone did in the first place.
Order some generic cells and get soldering.
Ooo, forbidden hardware. I sort of want one now.
