I love computers, but I hate the "opaque, restrictive software" that everyone, except for FOSS projects (for the most part), seems to make. But when you actually find that perfect software, it is a beautiful thing.
"Also, there does seem to be evidence that mental activity can ward off Alzheimer's [npr.org] and "Research has also found that cognitive leisure activities reduce the risk of cognitive decline. [nyu.edu]"
But I would say that the study shows that the "brain training" games do not create much mental activity. I played one once, it was basically just a bunch of stupid mini games.
I would bet most normal games would induce more brain activity then "brain trainers".
yes but if the story writer can take a Chinese custom and turn it into why the company is so evil and even use a picture of workers taking their daily nap as the only picture they show on this story, then can you trust anything else the story says? For example on another articulate about this story they mentioned that "The factory violates every labor law in China". I do not know anything about Chinese labor laws, but I doubt that every singe labor law in china can be broken by a single factory. I am sure some are just common sense and are good for both the company and the employees. And they only make 52 US cents/hour, but what is that compared to the industry standard in China (you could make 50 US cents/hour in many countries and be rich)?
I am surprised that they would allow anything with admin in it, I would assume any email I got with admin@whatever.xxx (or something like that) would be from the runners of the email service.
But even if it is bad now because it is free/open and being used, is it not very likely to improve in the future? But I know very little about the format, maybe it is just fundamentally flawed.
I am pretty sure that is wrong, at least for some parts of the US. I was just watching a new show showing a group of Catholics saying they would have to stage a civil war to stop the abortions.
And I suppose that the punishment to speaking against God will be stoning to death? So what happens to all the citizens of Ireland that do not believe in God? I would guess that practicing any other religion is considered blasphemy...
Well unless I am misinformed it really looks like their is pretty much a solid case for claiming that the law would force them to offer reimbursements in Europe. So they might not have a choice if someone pushes enough.
Unless they are saying that they plan to break European law.
Completely agree, for the most part this might draw some notice and respect form the gaming community, but I would be surprised if this did not make a few religious groups very upset.
I have only had one job that was mostly just programming. In that job I would come into work in the morning (9:00) take a few minute lunch break and leave at 5:00pm, otherwise it was siting in front of a monitor coding.
In general I would say, as long as you enjoy your work and want to be a good employee, you should work 95-99% of the work day, excluding designated break times.
I would that a social scientist in the 23rd Century does that think that average human of today posts every triviality in his life like most of the current twitters.
While on a whole twitter is very important, most likely in an importance vs amount comparison they would rate as one of the lowest scoring collections of data of all time.
How I understand it, that is what Trudeau did. From what I have heard he was a communist but knew he could never do anything if he did not join one of the important parties.
It is very undemocratic, but that does not change the fact that only 2-3 parties really have a chance to do anything.
I really do not think that ISPs sell internet well below what it should cost, at least if you are taking about anywhere in North America.
We all get outrageously high prices for internet access. At least if you go with any companies that advertise, switch to any that don't and they are half the price (but 99% of people still use one of the big name big price companies). I think that is pretty good proof that price fights have not really lowered the cost much.

That is the funniest comment I have read in months.

This exact same article has already been on /. (http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/04/15/1214248/Microsoft-Mice-Made-in-Chinese-Youth-Sweatshops)

And the site owners pay for their bandwidth and own their content, they have no reason to give it to you for free.
The profs at my school specifically said that just replacing code strings would do nothing to hide it from the automated methods.
I do not know any of the details, but from what I understand at least at my school they use some very advanced methods of comparing code.
"Out of eleven webmail services chosen at random and without prejudice"
so actually it probably is not interesting, just random chance.
I thought it had to be something like that.
Thanks for the information.

I have no idea what Slashdot articles are talking about.
and at least for SSLAdmin, their is no easy search able definition.
While the ad only showed a mans chest, that is not the point of the controversy.
The point is that the ad was basically advocating sexting.
I am pretty sure no one was mad about the ad containing a males chest.

The board would cause a concussion as well if I hit someone over the head with it.
This is hardly news, or related to Wii fit.
Clumsy woman falls down and hurts herself, stop the presses!

I am surprised it was that high, I have never ready any of the terms and conditions I have ever agreed to.
I do not care how sensitive to light you are, if you can survive outside and in a normally lighted room you will have no trouble with a price scanner.

"While it won't be a big deal to those of us here in the USA"
I don't know, I know quite a lot of pro SC watchers.
The instant I say the news I thought it was a very important story, and am surprised so many /.s do not agree.
