I have mod points, but I'm not using them, because there's no "-1 polite but very, very wrong" option.
To be more specific, I laughed pretty hard at "Anonymous is trying to fight this peacefully, they're not going to be DDoSing any DNS servers, backbone routers, or the like." They're not one person, and they're not a body directed by an individual, and no one controls what the assholes do, so the best you can do is "Some people are urging others not to, and they may or may not care". Good luck with that;-)
What? Both of those statements are equally stupid. They're both jumping to conclusions, one that it is a manmade phenomenon, and one that it is a natural phenomenon. How about we act like scientists for once, and try to figure out what the truth is? In the meantime, we can say "Wow, that's an interesting phenomenon--I wonder if it is natural or artificial, and in either case, why it is happening and whether it is cause for concern"?
Oh god, that is the worst abuse of the word "transmitted" I've seen in the last twenty minutes. Um. Is the law seriously interpreted that way? That's twisted, if so.
It's changed a bit since the whole "Hot Coffee" thing, but for most of the existence of the ESRB, you basically rated your own game, sent them a tape with some stuff from the game, and then they rubber stamped it in exchange for your cash. It's pretty stupid, really.
It won't stop everyone, but you'd be surprised how many people can't type on a keyboard that doesn't have the letters printed on it.
Do you know DVORAK? Paint the keys AND switch the layout, and you're golden!
Macs ARE harder to inject viruses into because the limited privilege escalation system used by Macs (and Linux) reduces the opportunities to run processes as root.
You have a point, but most malware doesn't need to run as root to do its job, so really getting access at all is "game over". Protecting root doesn't mean much when root isn't the target . . .
I'm not a lawyer either, but in my experiences in California, this is tricky--our HR people told us it wasn't legal to keep a list of people marked "do not hire." No, I don't know why, or whether they were correct.

As in http://www.freewebs.com/gnomemansland/gnometerroristcells.htm? I'd watch your step, terr'ist.

What? What do you pengÅ' by that?
Even the article admits that we've known for decades now that users will happily accept a broken cert.
Decades, eh? The web hasn't been around for decades ;-)

Ah, it's okay, use a hole punch.

At the risk of labeling myself a dork (a fate worse than death), I thought it was pretty funny.
FYI Seiken Densetsu was called FF in Japanese too. Its title was Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden.
That's how I felt when Zombie Apocalypse Hero came out. Now everyone thinks they're a master at playing the zombie apocalypse ;-;

Some people don't have friends or family, or their family won't speak to them, or won't help, etc.
So you perjured yourself several times? Nicely done!
Yes and no. There are public high schools in my home state (Illinois) where teachers make low six figures, but it's hardly universal.
Youtube uses Audible Magic's audio fingerprinting technology, which is based on this patent by MuscleFish: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=5918223.PN.&OS=PN/5918223&RS=PN/5918223

What? Are you telling me a summary on Slashdot is inaccurate?? My--my whole world is crumbling!
Some people believe that mass murder of innocents is still evil, even if you aren't as successful at it as some have been.
To be fair, I'm not sure what the mod was smoking when I got rated +1 informative ;-)
If?
Be careful, you've got to retain that.
I don't understand--can you turn this car discussion into some kind of metaphor?
I voted for Bitey.
