I see marriage as a partnership between two people. Each gets a lot out of the marriage - stability, a family, a home, security, companionship etc. So refraining from cheating on your partner is just one of the sacrifices you have to make in exchange for that.
It doesn't have to be a monogamous relationship to begin with. That's a societal construct designed to control people. It's only going behind their back if you have that kind of relationship to begin with.
If you can't trust a happy partner who's having their needs met, how can you trust an unhappy one who isn't?
A societal construct used to control people? What are you 15? I'd love to see the look on your face when you try and talk a girl you're interested in, into this.
Funny how Slashdot's fierce Fighters for Privacy turn a blind eye when it's something they don't care about that gets hacked.
But I guess these people "deserved" it because they didn't adequately protect their identities...or something.
Thugs are thugs whether they are stabbing you for your wallet or stealing your personal information. A swift death is the best option for them.
They deserved it because they cheated on their spouse. Which is morally wrong, everywhere. This isn't a religious thing... it's wrong like "Lying" or "Stealing" You're harming another person for your own personal transient gratification.
But they did allow you to verify and encouraged it. There's an account verification field with Y/N in it. Most of the accounts are verified. Nice try though!
Well, the obvious thing to do in this thread is to rave about your favorite game right?
I have a 7yr old, so we needed to find a game we'd all like, and the whole "who wins?" bit turned into an issue with a kid that age. We finally stumbled on "Castle Panic" which is quite frankly an amazing game. Dice Tower review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... It's actually incredibly fun despite being cooperative. Everyone gets to talk about how they should approach defeating the monsters. Kids get super excited when they kill monsters. I highly recommend it. And yes, even adults enjoy this games.
So, precisely how again do they suggest sites verify ages? It needs to at least be proof against a minor with an adult's "borrowed" credit card, and it can't require sites to violate the law. This isn't a technical problem here, it's completely independent of the technology. If these politicians want the problem solved, they need to spend some time thinking about how to solve the problem. And yes, "make someone else solve it" is a valid option but only if having the sites apply that solution by making the politicians the "someone else" is also a valid option.
The problem is, they don't care about kids seeing inappropriate material... Politicians are, after all, sexually abusing minors left and right in the UK.
Unemployment too high? You lost your job? What are we going to do about it? Sir, were you aware that your 11yr could possibly be addicted to Tentacled midget porn? You didn't even know that was a thing? Here are some shocking pictures. Go argue with your neighbors and leave us alone.
Bascially Air conditioners only use electricity in 2 ways. A motor in the compressor, and a motor to drive the fan. AC motors are MUCH more efficient than DC motors. Any industrial electric motor you find will be AC. This is a step backwards.
You're forgetting that AC is significantly more efficient at driving a motor than DC is. Go look at any good power tool, washer, drier, they all require dual phase AC for a reason.
Neither of those OS's, by default, farm you for information. Google does offer you lots of services you really want in exchange for letting them farm you... But there are alternatives and you're free to chose them.
It sounds like here, Microsoft is doing the farming at the OS level. I don't know if that's true or not, I'll wait to hear more. But if it's true, this version of Windows is DOA. It could have been the one toehold MSFT could have had to fend off Google and they're throwing it all away.
Right, the shooters problem is that he talked to them or the police. He should have shot it out of the sky, disposed of the shell, not answered the door and called his lawyer. Never talk to the police, never admit guilt.
The point of Steam Machines is to get rid of Windows and MS... so how does Windows 10 help with that? Also... you can already plug your video card into your TV. You've been able to do that for over 10 years with a $10 extra long HDMI or Display port cable. If you want it wireless, there are devices that do that for about $100 If you want a real "Stream" or shared desktop, Chrome Cast can do games now and the dongles $29
Also... this story hit a day or two ago... on pretty much every "Pay to play" tech website out there at the same time. In other words, this is a paid Microsoft commercial we've been duped into reading. Thanks Slashdot, you're really going down the tubes.
One of their more promising goals is to create a "perfect lens" which would allow an everyday person to view things as small as a virus with the naked eye.
Can someone explain to me how using a lens to see something qualifies as "with the naked eye", exactly?
...as opposed to an electron microscope. An electron microscope "Senses" things and then creates a false image representing those things so you can have an idea of what it's sensing. You are not actually "Seeing" the thing in the microscope. With a perfect lens, light bounces off the object, passes through the lens and enters your eye. You are seeing the actual object, and not a false image of it.
That depends entirely on what's on the device I'm updating.
My phone has basically no important information and the entire thing is backed up in 3 different locations. I only update it when I absolutely have to because being without it if it bricks during the update is a nightmare, and most updates change the way the phone works and just end up irritating me. I don't know anyone personally that's ever had their phone remotely hacked, and even if they did... so what?
My work computer? It gets updated every night. There's a team of people that handle that.
My home computer? Well, MSFT is involved... that used to auto-update until they came out with that "upgrade to windows 10!" notification. Now I don't trust their updater at all and updates are turned off permanently. I'll update when I need to.
Linux installs stable updates on its own. Never had a problem.
Websites and things? Again, depends on the content. I've got a Teamspeak server that's been running on an EC2 Instance for years and I'm never updating that.
As long as you're honest with them, that's cool with me. Not sure I'd walk the same path, you might want to see a shrink about your inability to commit, but that's your business, not mine.
Hiding truths about yourself isn't necessarily bad. "I don't want people to know I really do like Oysters but don't want to eat them because I had a stuffed clam as a child and that's embarrassing" That secret is ok. Revealing it doesn't really help... anyone. Ok, maybe you could argue that it does but whatever. It's close enough to the line that why not let you keep the secret?
"I'm lying to my wife about dangerous behavior that could endanger her mental/physical health, maybe even her life." or even worse "I'm not sure my husband fathered our son" yea no... that's not a secret you have a right to keep. You should be exposed. You're morally reprehensible for failing to address your marital issues in an honest way.
When you get married, you've made a choice to do things a certain way. You even have a relatively easy way out these day (divorce) it may have been different in the middle ages, but you have no excuse now. Man up, have the talk.
Full disclosure: I'm not defending this company for what it does. For those of you who were tired of the old criminal justice system, be careful what you wish for. To these hackers and many other people, the fact that this company is not illegal in the eyes of the old criminal justice system is irrelevant. To these hackers, it is amoral. These hackers have decided unilaterally what morality is, who is guilty, and how punishment will be executed. Publicly destroying people and businesses that somehow offend somebody else is now the new normal. The old system of justice won't protect you anymore because even if the old system catches these hackers, the damage will be done and can't be undone.
Nothing is immoral about "Truth" and anyone that furthers "Truth" is doing the right thing. Though it may be difficult or uncomfortable. The people who will be exposed here, had a very easy way to avoid this entire thing. Seek marital counseling, and failing that get a divorce. It's not hard at all these days. One uncomfortable talk with your wife, a few irritating weeks figuring out the finances, sign some papers... one court appearance, and you're done. But what did they chose? Doesn't their spouse deserve to know?
Well, you can never make it "impossible" unless you don't collect the data at all. But what you can do is make it impossible to do anonymously. If it was an inside job, and they had their controls set properly, then they should already know who the insider is.
Gotta love all the adulterers flagging me troll. I'll ware the badge with honor when this list is released and your spouses read it. You deserve all the pain you get... unfortunately your spouse doesn't. Whos fault will that pain be? Not that hackers, I assure you of that.
It's simple. Living with someone exposes their flaws. It's hard to see the flaws in people you don't live with. Less flaws = more attractive.
But the fact of the matter is, you should live up to your obligations. Sometimes you make bad choices in life... sometimes they are so bad that it affects the rest of your life... you end up missing an arm, or in prison, or married to a drunk. You've got to live with your choices, and do your best improve the situation. But lies, and dishonesty are not the way. Don't like your wife? Go to counseling, work it out with her... if all else fails, be honest with her and get a divorce, then start dating.
What exactly is the person that's visiting a site like this doing? It's pure, 100% evil. There is nothing good that comes of cheating. You're exposing your wife and children to all sorts of danger and instability. STDs, scorned women... God only knows. You're further harming your marriage with distrust and dishonesty. Infidelity is the ultimate selfish act, and it's at the expense of the people that are the closest to you. There are few other acts that even remotely compare in their depravity, and self interest.
It's not the cheating... it's the lying... and why you're lying. You're causing your spouse ultimate pain, for basically nothing. And you could avoid all of that with a few months of heart ache and once court appearance.
I know! I hate everything the website in question stands for and I find the idea of breaking the law to shut them down reprehensible. How to choose sides?
You apparently never played D&D. "Alignment" in D&D is actually a fairly ingenious way of looking at belief systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
This site was Lawful Evil. The hackers were Chaotic Good. (well I guess we don't really know do we?) You're apparently Lawful Good, so you're conflicted. The site breaks the "Good" part of your personality, but the hackers break the "Lawful" part. I'm probably Chaotic good... So this seems legit to me.
People likely to have an affair will do so with or without a website...
The site delays the inevitable discovery by their spouse, thereby increasing the damaged caused by the dishonesty. Anything that destroys truth is evil. Period. This site and the people that use it are disgusting.

No, one illegal act, to shutdown another immoral act. There's a huge difference.
Releasing this info is the right thing to do.
