Personally, I don't give a shit. If what you're saying is true then many I'd have been beaten mercilessly by gangs of angry Negroes, Hispanics, Jews, Southerners, Homosexuals, and then jailed years ago for bogus "online hate speech" or "harassment" or something.
I'm actually surprised that it hasn't yet happened, because the Slashdot staff are a bunch of Boy Scouts and would probably roll over everytime somebody flashes a badge. Because trolling is a threat to national security;)
Agreed. His juxtaposition of the mobile and desktop perspectives of net neutrality makes no pragmatic sense. We can still slap anything we want on our desktops and surf anywhere with relatively minimal (if any) meddling from our ISPs.
As a final WTF, he shamelessly shouts out to Android and open source as the answer to society's ills. Guess what people? The average user can't do shit with their phones, Android or otherwise, as long as the telco's are in charge of what goes on them!
Saying that Android is free is like telling people that a chained servant is free*
Ah, my mistake. The bug (which happened to me) is actually from 7.10 to 8.04, I had to go through that to continue to update to 9 from a 6.06 disk (masochism!)
The upgrade will freeze on the locales package if you are using the (current) Gutsy kernel, 2.6.22-15. Reboot into 2.6.22-14 before upgrading. See the bug report on Launchpad for full details.
The size and mission creep of the behemoth comes to mind. Data-mining, bloat, glorified security-guard hiring practices, over-reaching harassment databases. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, 'nuff said.
It's purely business. Consolidate everything, hire cheaply, waste a-plenty. Morale goes through the toilet. I'm from a border town, and there have been articles in the paper spanning a few years describing the scumbags working the borders, to include widespread recent complaints of catcalls and groping crossing women. There is also a high turnover rate, low morale, and excessive overtime described in my hometown paper (sorry, won't tell 'ya).
It seems that the DHS has been created with the same mentality of the proliferation of the ultra-powerful California prison system, and their famous border abuses of detainees are well-known. My personal favorite is forced injections of psychotropic drugs. Those can be found on GOOG, by the way.
I fail to see why this is any different from other emergencies that have benefited from the free flow of information concerning problems
The free flow of information in emergencies is a problem if you're a totalitarian government or, say, Iran. As of this moment it's hyperbole to apply that to the U.S., but the effective building of repressive regimes takes away liberties piecewise. H1N1 a national emergency?!
The sun of our liberty won't just fall into the ocean, it'll gradually fade away through a twilight which has already begun.
I don't think so. There's a lot of harsh chemistry in many air fresheners that many people don't like. I'd rather smell some stray earth than some sterile hodgepodge of toxic chemicals that reminds me of the overbearing preparation of cheap hotel rooms frequented by prostitutes.
I can't even stand those little air fresheners people put in cars. Why would anybody want their car to smell cheap, like oranges or other food? (Note: it's usually the fat chicks who like their houses and cars smelling like peaches or vanilla anyway)
But, the steering wheel is also used as a brace during sharp turns. What would be your anchor if you have just a puny joystick while the force is pushing you to the side?
I do live in California and I know why they chose Californians for the sample: they're trying to locate the elusive gay gene. San Francisco and Cupertino residents are the test group, while the rest of the sample acts as a control group.
Short answer: Hannibal wants to fuck his sister and Clarice wants to fuck her daddy, but that's hidden under the romanticism of transference and psychotherapy and hypnosis and whatnot.
You want explicit? Earlier in the book about the pedophile Mason Verger's sodomizing little kids (including his own sister) with candy bars. He calls it "taking the chocolate". His sister gets her revenge by stuffing his pet eel into his throat after electro-ejaculating him with a cattle prod to collect his semen in a condom so her lesbian partner can have a heir the Verger estate. Fascinating, if unbelievable. And no, you won't see that stuff in the movie, either;)

I wonder if the camera is sensitive enough to see the classroom overcrowding, herpes under the skirts of sorority sisters, and traces of cocaine on the Homeland Security majors' noses!
The riverwalk's river is caked with duck shit and the pathways are cluttered with unscrupulous ethnic merchants trying to hock cheap shit up the asses of giddy uniformed basic training grads and their fat, ugly girlfriends.
But as far as Texas goes, yeah, the riverwalk is a pretty nice.

RTFA, It's a Microsoft vulnerability running on top of (within?) Firefox. Like ActiveX v2.0 for FireFox.
Microsoft owns Windows and so they can make whatever the hell they want work with it as annoyingly and as unsafely as possible, in any way that they wish.
It'll never be finished anyway. They'll repeatedly extend the deadlines and the budget unsuccessfully before the project's stinking remains will be swept quietly under the rug. Then some other bunch of corporations with paid shills in congress will get a similar contract years later.
Slashdot Mirror
Milked to death if not rebooted outright. It's a tacit admission that Hollywood ran out of ideas.
I can hardly wait for Aquaman: The Movie.

Assembly bill 390 all the way, baby. Californians - send letters to your assembly and your congresspeople urging them to support the bill!

There's a known bug in the 8.10 to 9.04 upgrade process. Ya gotta run another kernel to keep the install from freezing.
Criticism.

The writers of Star Trek: TNG certainly did. On a related note, there could be Hypnotic applications to such technology.

Try Bitnami stacks. Much easier than setting everything up piecewise. Here's the LAMP for you.

But it takes a Bush to lower the bar ;)
In the novel (not the movie)Hannibal, Lecter considers using psychotherapy/hypnosis/drugs to transfer his sister's memories into Clarice.
;)
Also, Clarice and Hannibal elope and flee the country and they also fuck. But you won't see that ending in the movie

It's not broken if it still works, even if it is a gaping security hole.
Whoa, there's an awesome streetview of San Diego State University in there!
