TV channels 52 to 69 were sold-off for around 1 billion dollars, and that is the money being used to upgrade poor & middle ncome (sic) televisions NOT taxpayer dollars.
If you bothered to do your research, you'd know that the funds from the sale of the rights to that broadcast spectrum don't cover the handouts for equipment upgrades. Please run for Congress so I can persuade as many people as possible to mock you mercilessly.
You're more than welcome to attempt to destroy my private property, as long as you're willing to accept certain consequences involving the discharge of a firearm.
The coupon program represents less than 1/10th of one percent the 1500 billion spent to bailout banks & other rich fat asses. I see nothing wrong with spending some of the government's spare charge (sic) to help the workers for a change.
I don't care if it represents a nickel. I'm completely opposed to bailing out Wall Street in the first place, and that "spare change" you regard so flippantly happens to be a portion of our tax dollars.
I wasn't referring to the cost of the electricity to run the TV; I was referring to the cost of the TV itself. People seem to be able to find hundreds of dollars to buy nice television sets, only to turn around and scream bloody murder over the prospect of having to buy a cheap converter box. It's ridiculous, and so are your views on the matter.
Somebody please mod parent up. Thank you for pointing out the fact that just a tiny bit of personal responsibility would make this entire mess unnecessary. Seriously, anyone who can afford a TV can afford a converter box.
Funny you should mention that; virtual machines have been the only place I've run Windows in several years, and only in cases where a job assignment absolutely required a Windows box. I always support efforts to bring more native interoperability to Linux clients.
In what business networking world do end users have direct control over the encryption used on files owned by the company? Man, it's all about setting up your LAN so users can't screw entire departments, isn't it?
According to Fawaz, Charter will not impose bandwidth-usage caps on any of its high-speed Internet subscribers. By contrast, Comcast's policies limit users to 250 Gigabytes of data consumption per month.
Nice. Very nice. I guess there are providers out there interested in competing on the technical merits of their service, while giving the consumers what they want.
I sincerely hope this post isn't being modded "-1" simply because is belongs to Twitter. In this case, he's absolutely right. Why the hell would you trust a third party to provide trusted firmware code that manages crypto keys for your organization without access to the source that makes up said firmware? You would be an absolute idiot to take this path, and probably accused of criminal negligence should improper data disclosure ever reach the point where a federal prosecutor got involved in a case where the data in question "Really Mattered."
Why wouldn't I run an Internet-facing reverse proxy that performs a few other net-related tasks on OS X? Yeah, I'd typically use Debian or FreeBSD for such a task, but I honestly can't think of any good reason for avoiding Apple's OS in this case.
You are a moron. By the way, I'm keenly aware of the fact that people who post as AC (even though they have a user account) actively monitor the threads they post in, looking for some validation of their views. Here's a tip: stop being a coward, post under a registered account, and get some Vagisil for that nasty problem you've got in your southern regions. HAND.
... can be used across all hard disk drives, solid state drives (SSD) and encryption key management applications...
I'm supposed to trust my crypto keys to a third party? What particular dealer do they think is supposed to supply me with the kind of crack that would cause me to find this acceptable? I didn't write the code that runs their firmware, and I didn't compile anything from their shop either (reference On Trusting Trust by Ken Thompson, circa 1984, for background).

I do agree with your sig, though.

That's the funniest thing I've seen on Slashdot in days. Thank you, you owe me a new keyboard.

Hooked on Slashdot worked for me.
You're still at -1 Troll, boyeeeeeee.
So what do you do in cases where OWA isn't available? A lot of shops don't use it internally or care to allow access via OWA externally.
even in a VM box if you didn't want to

Epic Mega Oops.
This is really a shame; I've actually got a copy of Jazz Jackrabbit running under DosBox right now. Funny how times change.
I'll have you know I took your comment seriously!
No, this is Occam's Razor. You misspelled his name, too. Wow.

Okay, maybe the Vagisil reference was a bit over the top.
It is agreed that his puppetry is bizarre and intensely annoying, but it doesn't mean he's wrong all the time.

Even a couple of pennies per display adds up. Please cite some proof substantiating this price quote, by the way. You must be an industry insider.

Such is Slashdot. Thanks for the support, though.
I'm going to keep my computers powered off all day. Awww, damnit.
Made up words that make their way into common usage wind up being real words. Otherwise, we'd all still be saying "ugh."
Do you have a specific beef with the GP? I've taken a look through Moridineas' comment history, and I can't find anything to substantiate your claim.
