Doubtful. This is only one more step toward getting the government to enforce copyright criminally rather than letting the *AA's continue (increasingly unsucessfully) to enforce it civilly.
They'll have to catch you in the act and prove that you did it, but now the FBI or even homeland security will be legally able to gather ISP data or even hack your box to gather evidence. Still very chilling.
By agreeing not to hire away top talent, the companies could be stifling competition and trying to maintain their market power unfairly, antitrust experts said...In 2005, Microsoft sued Google for hiring away Kai-Fu Lee...
Good. Hopefully these actions will lead to the outlawing of vaguely wide-ranging NDAs which state that employees may not work for "competitors" for X years after leaving their companies. I wish that TFA provided the list of all the companies because they didn't mention whether or not Microsoft was in the list despite their example above.
Antitrust experts say that could include wireless carriers and software operators that may be blocking certain applications from running on their networks and devices.
Oh, well. At least they still have Google Earth to tell them, "Hey, terrorists, don't look here. There's nothing sekrit about our blurred base, move along."
legalizing marijuana would make the current drunk driving problem many times more difficult in terms of detection and enforcement.
Are you trollin' us? Aside from not being able to use the breathalyzer, why would anything else change? Our field sobriety tests test physical and mental capability such as standing on one leg, walking backwards, and reciting the alphabet backwards. And everybody knows what weed smells like.
Oh, come on. Why would they go through the trouble and risk causing a public stir while they can just continue to sit on P2P networks and go fishin'? And before anybody cries "MediaSentry", remember that one need not hack your box to get your i.p. address.
I've heard how difficult it is to get into and graduate from good Japanese universities. But as far as American universities go, why force somebody who's been reading grad-level literature recreationally to attend every instance of english 101?
Look at most job requirements. Many state degree or equivalent experience. As an example, I'll use military training: a person who's been through backshop or even depot-level military electronics training has been through 9 months or more of school. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, all one class. Military "junior colleges" such as CCAF(Community College of the Air Force) do not often directly translate into equivalent undergrad credit in public or private universities.
In America the requirement is silly (and based on my experience, usually never enforced ^_^ ). A former Airforce backshop avionics or Navy nuclear tech should be required to attend every rudimentary DC electronics class with such challenging problems like serial and parallel resistance with a little norton or thevenin? Prior military please chime in, we'd love to hear about how your education translates into the civillian college world.
There are many...who would love to have religion banned...these are the same group of people whom would close down gitmo and release the prisoners...Oh the irony...
What's so ironic about it? Were you trying to imply that the two are contradictory? I fail to see the hypocrisy in people who believe religion == bad idea && gitmo == bad idea since both can be used as tools of repression.
He's right, it's important to have stability. Living the bum lifestyle, especially without a support system, will cause one to regress into the animalistic survival instinct and become paranoid.
Existing conditions, if any, will be exacerbated by the instability. Drugs or Alcohol make it worse. Any person who's seen homeless people talking to themselves on the street realizes that. That's why I made it a point to mention that I didn't do it for very long - I decided that enough was enough when I began to talk to myself and urinate in public. My job and my life were not worth tossing out like that, and now I live a comfortable life in a place with a functional jacuzzi;)
It's easy to shower without friends or crash-pads. Go to the local university or junior college because you get get into the locker room and shower without hassle. The phenomenon described in this discussion is actually widespread, in fact, the JC I was showering at(a popular one in Los Angeles) was known for people sleeping in its locker rooms and even classrooms after lights-out. This was back around 2005 when the economy was decent.
Before I thought of that, I would rub my body down with body wash (while wearing boardshorts) and find an apartment complex with a pool or jacuzzi, then I'd get in and bathe in them! Scrubbing with fingernails exfoliates skin and the bromine keeps you clean while the body wash keeps you fresh, though just the bromine will suffice if you scrub with your fingernails.
Just make sure you have more than one towl and do a drying rotation. In locker rooms I've seen bums showering who didn't even have a towel, and they used half a roll of paper towels from the dispenser to dry their body off! xD
For some people(who often have jobs or keep some responsibility), being homeless is about freedom. I'd just exited a bad relationship with the woman I lived and then left another place to live because the management didn't fix shit (my pet peeve was that the jacuzzi was always cold, damn them).
I finally got fed up and lived out of my car for a summer. I had more spending cash since I was employed, and I even went to school while living out of the car. Not worrying about a place to live is about having one less thing to worry about and more disposable money to save or spend.
Of course, that lifestyle is a very lonely one, so I see why the man has adopted the internet as his support system. He may not be a shiftless bum - sometimes, people who've had enough just say "fuck it". And it's very liberating. But I don't recommend living that lifestyle long-term.
Been there, done that. Except that I had jobs while I was homeless. I got my fix from internet cafes and, better yet, university libraries -- for free. Uni internet library computers often run windows so they can be "tricked" into installing small programs using inconsistent enforcement of restrictions.
More tips for the homeless: Trader Joe's is a popular place for gourmet dumpster diving. University cafeterias also throw away things like packaged sushi when it hits the expiration date. Chinese food is the best to eat out of a trash can because the containers are often in tact and the abundant MSG preserves the food well. I love remembering Panda express' customers gasp in horror when I walked in and started fishing food containers out of their bins. It's also a good reminder of how much in America goes to waste. Go for the heavy ones;)
It's better because you can prototype and build stuff much, much quicker without (usually) having to custom-compile on every architecture. Java and C++ are a lot alike, and Java gave a nod to legacy C code with its own printf().
If DHS really wanted to deal with illigal immigrants then they could set up random checkpoints in Los Angeles where half a million strong march openly in protest of immigration law. Another idea is to check immigration status with every traffic stop or police call, nationwide.
It's possible that the questions for that particular show will be specifically chosen to be more explicit and less ambiguous (avoiding the show's characteristic punny wordplay) to put the machine on a more level playing field, keeping its score closer to those of the contestants', which will make the episode more exciting to watch.

Let's hope so.

Who has not tried to arrange blocks even in real life after getting hooked onto tetris.

I skipped tons of classes during my undergrad degree and this enabled me to actually assignments that I wouldn't have otherwise had time for.
Congrats on your engineering degree. I hope that those skipped English classes don't interfere with your technical writing ;)
WTF does stealing plans have to do with scaring people?
The government can use plans being stolen as an excuse to scare their people with the threat of scaring people? :)
Why dont they just pay with double cheesebugers?
Oh, wait.

I bet that 90% of slashdotters are still wondering what is L0phtCrack and how can you eat it.
Actually I was wondering how I could smoke it...

To use a car analogy, stick-shift vs. automatic.
You call this success?
This has nothing to do with illegal immigration.
If DHS really wanted to deal with illigal immigrants then they could set up random checkpoints in Los Angeles where half a million strong march openly in protest of immigration law. Another idea is to check immigration status with every traffic stop or police call, nationwide.
As if they had to threaten Obama for the free handout...
The drug companies are the ones who get the money. The doctors only get free golf trips and paperweights with drug logos on them.
Developed during a time of great uncertainty and world wars, our culture developed personas who were both empowered and selfless.
...and Captain America is now dead.
