It would be too cool to have a ride in those black trucks and get interviewed by those CIA ghosts! At least, it would prove that what we see in the movies is not just an urban legend, and I don't think they would really do much against someone who just posted some crap on Slashdot just to make fun of those silly security measures...
Good job men. You just triggered all those alerts. Now prepare to be tortured for being a terrorist and a member of Al Quaida who resides in Nigeria with your Nuclear family...
What size and resolution is (are) your monitor(s)? Is it usable, or do you have to [ctrl]+[tab] between all your tabs so much that by the time you get the tab you want, the day is over?
Besides this, I HAVE TO use FF10 for work, and it is a pity to start it up in the morning. Takes so long that I have time to grab a coffee. Otherwise, it's pretty fast for browsing once it's started.
That's perfect for running BOINC though, which is very good at using multiple cores at their full capacity. Useless for the business, but great for contributing to science projects:-)
As any good slashdotter, I didn't RTFA, so if that's true, that it runs on coffee grouns leftovers, that would be a little greener, but how many coffees would I have to drink to get to work everyday? I think I'd never sleep again and would always be at the restroom...
Maybe that using coffee beans or fries oil is truly green to use for some proof of concept cars like that, but imagine the whole planet running its cars with coffee beans or wood pellets. How long before coffee gets sold at 500$ per kilo, or wood being sold 50000$ for a dead tree? Using pesticides and faster growing stuff? Using energy at such large scale as we use dead dinosaurs as today cannot really be green, unless we can *FINALLY* get nuclear fusion working, which is 50 years away, isn't it?
With all the rules, interdictions, health care and all, we are directly tampering with "natural selection", so more people, who would otherwise die, continue to live after diseases or accidents that should have left them dead. Of course, we improve our life expectancy with the more and more sophitiscated health care that we provide, but we artificially increase our life expectancy, and our birthrate with the survival of more and more premature born babies. I am not saying this is bad, but this is certainly one of the reasons that makes the population grow faster and faster.
Even though most Slashdotters will laugh about it, I don't think it is linked to the acquisition of Skype by Microsoft... The acquisition is so recent, I don't think anybody other than high ranked executives could have put their nose in Skype business, so I don't think Microsoft developpers could have caused such a mess.
I totally agree with you. But sometimes, when you're stuck and can't find another number, it would be cool that this app just gives you a hint, instead of solving the entire sudoku.
Slashdot Mirror
The article title is
Government's G-Cloud service knocked offline by Microsoft Azure cloud computing outage
And all around the page, an ad that says
Get in the cloud - Microsoft Office 365
Just like hearing a Subway commercial while in the restrooms of a McDonalds... Priceless!

DDOS (Dedicated Denial of Service)
My FF always has 20-30 tabs opened

Are you saying that Lotus Notes MIGHT BE "bloatware"?
I remember the good ol' times of the Graffiti handwriting recognition. It was so fast and reliable...
I didn't know that Napster still existed...
Are you using the FireBrain extension?

Any suggestion on this? Which very spammy website do you suggest?
such as administration interfaces, serial port concentrators, virtual appliances, or whatever.
What is the "Whatever" part? Toasters? Refrigerators? :-)
And make him show them what he's got. I'm pretty sure he would be accepted for a degree, as long as this is what HE wants to do...

Or just a good old oscilloscope?

That would surely be pretty interesting to see large companies collapse because of that. But their lobbies are way too strong for this to happen...
Seems like it's flowing water they've found. Nothing like the Nile river, but still promising...
5 minutes! I bet a grand on 5 minutes!
So this further confirms that it not about Microsoft at all...

When you could use the Kinect?

There is still land in Australia? ;-)
