Your (plaintext) login credentials are safe. Someone could still sniff out your cookie data and access your profile without logging in though.

You're POSTing to a secure page anyways... all that happens for me when I visit https://facebook.com/ is I get warned about an invalid SSL certificate and then redirected ("Location: http://facebook.com/" HTTP header) back to the non-https site.
PCGamer (US version) was fucking AWESOME back in the day.
I remember the issue that reviewed Half Life 1... it was over 400 pages long!
I canceled my subscription once the page count dropped below 100 pages. It was a "read in half hour" thing instead of something you could come back to over and over during the next week.
PCGamer was also the first place I saw CliffyB in a rabbit suit...
If you don't use MS products, why would IE-only exploits bother you enough to want a "separate" internet?
Admittedly, I don't use Windows (or Linux or Mac for that matter) for anything except gaming and testing my rootkits), but I enjoy the fact that most people use Windows. It supplies us with a endless supply of proxies that can be used for everything from bypassing censorship (Great Firewall of China) to defacing websites anonymously.
I agree with the Alt Gr comment. I switched to using the Finnish layout for everything but coding, and love the flexibility with typing exotic characters.
when she could have just as easily sent a copy to her friends/family privately
That assumes she's not on 56k or something similar.
Uploading (for the sake of discussion, I have no idea how large the video was) 5mb on 56k is gonna take you at least 20 minutes or so. Also, you're gonna send a raw video file? You'd probably need to use a codec to encode it. Now, your family/friends need said codec/player to play it.
It makes more sense to upload it once through an easy upload system, have it stored in a format that most people can play (Flash video), and link it around, no?
Also, most people don't enjoy attachments anyways, especially not in the multiple MBs.

I don't know why people put so much emphasis on learning scales. Modes are far more important.
You should learn musical theory in this order: modes -> scales -> chords
Playing metal guitar helps with timing/left hand dexterity if anything. Sweep picking sort of requires perfect timing to pull off, so translating that skill to Guitar Hero does help quite a bit.

A large block of undecipherable text has been posted on Slashdot...
Or netfilter rules with a DROP policy. :)

I am only forced to use Windows at work.
Anti-spam thing.
Every time I post on Slashdot, it takes forever for me to Submit the post, because I get probed on a few ports (which timeout).
They're ports commonly used by proxies and such.
Generally, you would agree or disagree with a point rather than "believe" it. :P

When talking about things related to the law, it may help to be a bit more articulate in your speech.
'Loose' = the opposite of 'tight', 'to lose' = the opposite of 'to win' or 'to gain'.
Other than that, good post.
This is my 4th Slashdot account... (I get bored and reset once in a while and see how long it takes to get mod points again)
I agree!
I would use OpenBSD on my dual core laptop w/ nvidia 7900 gs instead of Debian Linux if there was a way to use the (non-free) official nvidia drivers.
For now, it is only used by me as a server OS though. PF rules!
Other people who aren't smart: those who don't realize it's possible to bypass "BIOS passwords".

True, but a 1-year subscription is 2x cheaper than a wifeless router.
Also, with a magazine, you don't have to worry about torching your shit.

Scary to imagine things escalating to a situation where it warranted implementation
"Continuity of government" is a scary concept.
I've read a bit about it before, but for the uninformed, the Wikipedia article has links to a lot of information on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_of_government#Continuity_of_government_in_the_United_States
