"Back in the early days people would do things like post long strings to widen the page, or use Unicode characters to reverse text flow direction and the like"
Bizx.info is an advertising platform. I can't see that slashdot will become anything other than an advertising platform, with less emphasis on tech that matters.
You can see it basically being folded up into a larger advertising platform that will have all the charm of TMZ or Gawker.
Oh well. It was a good run though.... what 20 years?
14nm for these chips puts us close to the end of currently deployed technologies for transistor densities.

" World Curling Federation has stepped in and issued new rules that set severe restrictions on the types of brooms "
It reminds me years ago when Illie Nastase used the infamous Spaghetti Racket which was mired in controversy decades ago when there was virtually no restrictions on tennis rackets.
The judge should pick up the plaintiff and her attorney by the belt and collar and throw them out the front door with a resounding "Et rester en dehors!"
"You have to go to a source, i.e., HP or any reputable source where the city has a contract. And there's a purchase order that has to be submitted, and there has to be money in the budget"
The poor guy is exhausted just thinking about it. He has my sympathy.

It's only $1/year after you spend $200 replacing every power supply in your house.
The ROI on that is.... interesting.
" then a reduction in running costs will eventually offset the initial purchase cost"
Almost impossible.
The single biggest cost in running a car is depreciation. And heavy use actually makes that worse.
"citing a flood of requests for electricity to power bitcoin mining operations. "
Tell the electric company you have to power an iron lung, and an electric kidney. What were you thinking?
"Firehose itself is pretty new"
At least 10 years old, perhaps longer.
But he's right.
AC is a cherished part of the internet, /. included.

a.k.a. "The Good Old Days".

"The word 'novel' now appears in more than 7% of PubMed paper titles"
Isn't this simply a reflection of how long the papers are?
"As the United States, at least for the current administration, has decided to bypass the moon in favor of Mars"
It's a way of kicking the can so far down the road that you can't even find the can.
I don't have mod points today, but this is funny joke. Well played.

Can you post a link to your research?
This reminds me of when IBM had the mistaken notion that if they added Windows 3.x compatibility to OS/2 they'd be the platform of choice.
You'd think Microsoft of all companies would remember that logical fallacy of that plan.
""Buying a car involves going from dealer to dealer, each of whom has his own inventory"
Or you could use the web. You may have heard of it. It's awsome, dude.
So to summarize the effect of TPP in one semi-sentence....
"....and the horse you rode in on..."
It would be difficult, if not impossible, to absorb that kind of money without starting a small nuclear war.
"For those Bay Area tech pros who think Brandon's lifestyle sounds appealing"
Not even a little.
Did you use this card online to pay for things?
If so, that's the most likely way that your card was compromised. As other posters have stated, your issue is with the bank, not the phone company.
Just dispute the charge with the bank, and it comes off your bill.
"But, if you ban books that depict sex with dinosaurs, it doesn't take much before you ban books." - CloudFlare CEO Matthew Prince"
That's the worst argument ever. Ever.
Pretty eye opening. Worth the 5 minutes to scan through it.
As the other poster said, he's not saying it's a patent or copyright issue, he's effectively saying it's a trade secret.
So the issue is really pretty clear isn't it? If he refuses to show his code to an expert witness and explain it, then the evidence can't be used.
We'll see what the judge has to say.
Swap it to the parent's car in their OBD II port.
The judge should pick up the plaintiff and her attorney by the belt and collar and throw them out the front door with a resounding "Et rester en dehors!"
