Best buy isn't setting it up for them. You'll still have to go home and "connect this thing to the wifi router your isp gave you."
You're equating this scam to a specialized service. It's not arrogance on my part, it's akin to paying someone to change your oil when the car will do it itself.
Not only that, I was just reading a story at Ars about how Jon Landau believes everything should be 3D. He calls out studios on hasty 3D conversions. I'd say the pot is calling the kettle black. His film had plenty of problems.
"Converting a movie from 2D to 3D is not a technical process. It is a creative process,"
You know what? After watching your flick at IMAX in 3D and halfway through wanting to leave with my headache, you're doing it wrong. As has been brought up before in previous Slashdot discussions, you can't get a proper 3D effect that will fool the brain with current technology. Stop trying to convert 2D films to 3D, especially for the point of being "OMG 3D" like parent mentioned.
the bot intelligence is coming from Damballa, an Atlanta-based security company that monitors botnet activity and identifies botnet control networks. If Damballa spots a Comcast Internet address that is phoning home to one of these botnet command centers, Comcast’s system flags that customer’s address for a service notice.
It's akin to the ISPs being told that someone is pirating music/movies on p2p. They aren't detecting it themselves, good for privacy I guess, bad for reliability.
Let's say I have an office with 100 machines and 5 public IP addresses. I have a few addresses with specific port forwarding set up for services to some servers and and the rest of the workstations share an external address. Hell, web traffic out of the aforementioned servers may go out the same external address as the workstations. They all share a common firewall that NATs the internal network. Why is this scenario bad?
Do not want. I've seen Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Just imagine what pissing off the trees would do? It'll makes Avatar (err, I mean the original... Ferngully), seem like nothing.
You are reading Slashdot and really have no idea what Twitter is? Even if you are against Twitter, or social media in general, no need to be elitist about it. I don't use it, but obviously other people do.
McAfee has one too... http://mcaf.ee/ Not that I would trust them any more than the other url shorteners, but they claim to protect against malware too. Heck, any website administrator who is bored can set one up on their existing domain without a cute URL.
Any decent agency will design a Flash creative and have a fallback gif for viewers without Flash. The iPad isn't really harming the people who are smart.
I'd never, EVER use it as my personal device nowadays, especially since web browsing sucks hard on it and the OS isn't supported anymore. However, it's a perfect business phone that's all work, no play (except for BrickBreaker). My Nexus One covers the play part pretty well.:)
And that is why RIM is going to lose. Enterprise is all fine and dandy, but you need the consumer market. The folks that grew up with iOS and Andriod devices are going to want a single device with those capabilities. They will not want to carry two devices like you do. Hell, my employer pays for part of my mobile contract and there is no way that I would carry an additional phone that they've chosen (they've tried).
The annoying small talk is why people first buy a flowbee and then later a regular razor. My gas pump doesn't ask stupid questions, neither does the self-checkout at the supermarket. I welcome these new robot hairoverlords and their lack of idle chit chat.
Next time could you read motherfucking TFA yourself? That's preferable to having to see replies from idiots denigrating other idiots who quoted random lines without additional value, without adding any of their own.

If you can't be bothered to plug it in and create an account, you have no business buying it.
How about charging for sonething that would happen automatically without the user doing anything more than accepting the update?
It's a reliable as when Quantcast provides traffic figures for sites that have never embedded Quantcast code. It's magic!
Next time you watch Avatar, please don't fall asleep. Or just go watch Ferngully, it was better anyways.

Data centers != workstations...
I'd throw it in the trash.

There's been some attempts at this. Like link rel="shorturl" href="example.org/1234"
Nobody's really taken advantage of the sites that have implemented it though.

The ISP Sky Broadband today stated they cut off further cooperation with ACS:Law...

No you can't. Read your damn agreement with your credit card processor.

Are you saying blind folks don't have eyes? Protip: most do.

Where does your merchant agreement allow you to infer whether someone is that person? You probably incorrectly ask for ID too.
Even better, if it's a one time use by a trusted person, just change the pin later. Or get a new set of eyeballs.
It seems his visit to the head shop?
