Nevermind the fact that there was no control group in the study and the number of users is not nearly large enough to come up with the conclusion that it is a flawed system.
I'm just happy to know that even though I never bought one of the millions of CDs that included this rootkit, at the end of the day, sony loses $130 for every CD sold with it. Honestly I think it should be more, but between that, the battery recalls, blue-ray, the shoddy PS3 sales, I think it's time for new management in Sony and they really need to turn themselves around as a company. In my mind right now, they are worse than Microsoft.
And just when you thought he was going to be campaigning global warming for the rest of his career, here comes the father of the internet, Al Gore to warn us about this disastrous net neutrality!
B12 which is a vitamin which is also known to increase your health which your aunt sally sends you messages regularly on, so great, all messages from aunt sally are now blocked.
This is already done at a lot of bars in the Milwaukee, WI area. Albeit, they're not being scanned or swiped (or god forbid, read by RFID) but they are certainly put into a machine that captures the card using a standard black and white camera with a bright light in the box, which allows it to check for the anti-counterfeit holograms and signs of forgery to the bouncer.
It sounds to me like this is a problem with the ground computers... not the shuttle computers. The shuttle computers clearly handle things like any other computer does, going to 366 instead of 1. The ground computers on the other hand... who's the moron who thought up that design?
While I completely agree with your thoughts that I'm really glad the article was posted becuase it was both informational and insightful, on the flip side the author has a... I don't want to call it a harsh tone but it's certainly seems a little demeaning towards anyone that doesn't work for google and doesn't follow google's software practices. By calling people stupid for going to seminars on software methedologies and comparing them to scientology is just ignorant and absurd.
Let's skip the testing and go straight to market with experimental drugs. Or maybe we can just test on apes because apes are basically just humans with lots of hair... right?
Maybe I'll get flagged troll for this, but $50,000 isn't even enough to pay for a yearly salary of one employee at a corporation. How do they expect that much money to be able to fund a 12 month project?
What a sad excuse for an article on Slashdot. The column is not well written at all and points out facts that should be blatantly obvious to anyone that has ever downloaded FireFox before. 150 Million Downloads != 150 Million FireFox users, just like 1 Million World of Warcraft subscribers != 1 Million players online at once.
Can slashdot editors please refrain from posting "columns" which should really just be blogs that we can ignore?
It seems like the MLB would be making the right move by simply letting them license. If they were to win, this would also allow other leagues such as the NFL to make the exact same argument and win by default based on this ruling. MLB Absolutely has the rites to take the Baseball historical data, archive it in a database, call the database scheme and raw data their intellectual property and sell queries to whoever is willing to pay the per-query fee.
If the argument here is "can they refuse service to this company legally?", I think that is much different than making the argument "MLB owns baseball data and no one else can use it without permission". The latter would never hold up in court.

There you go, exact same specs (The dell is actually FASTER! and has a better video card!) Mac is $500 more.
Nevermind that they cost about twice the cost of a normal PC.

Not only can people not RTFA, they can't even RTFSummary!
I absolutely must see this sign when google updates its maps...PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED!
Helloooooooo, they were marlboro's
I don't understand why this was marked as flamebait... It's a completely legitimate question, albeit the user probably didn't rtfa.

People that give up their info that easily deserve to have their money taken away.

Too bad there's no Mod -1 "Christ, It's A Joke"
Unfortunately I don't have enough mod points do mod you both down -1 trolls on all of your posts.
How long would it take to write one of those images to a SSD card??

I'm hoping that Apple will follow suit by coming out with a pay per month service. I would most definitely be interested in that.
Dosen't this remind anyone of Napster? The exact same thing happened... people just changed the song names to include an extra space.
The RIAA Wasn't happy with this, so they decided to go to "Filter In..." and that just didn't work, and then Napster died.
