It looks like it's grummonds idea from this page; as linking directly to the comment seems to fail, here's the text of the comment:
Oh, and here’s an idle thought train – let’s take the negative rights idea a step further:-
1) identify a VID that is yet uncommitted (I presume there is a list). Choose a number that has some vague recognition value, say 0xF055 (FOSS), but don’t call it a VID, it’s just the name of an online community.
2) start (i.e. publicise) an online community to support development of USB Free Open Source Software. Membership is free for proven FOSS developers.
3) Members get a membership number, you gussed it from 1 to 65535. It’s not a PID it’s a membership number!
4) Doesn’t matter how large the USB-FOSS community is, the appearance of growing support should be enough that eventually no commercial vendor is going to want to be issued with VID 0xF055.
rice contains more fat (0.66 gr/100gr) than carrots, so the golden rice should be at least as effective as carrots then.
And yes, meat would be good too, but very expensive.

Influenza vaccination has been shown highly effective in health care workers (HCW), with minimal adverse effects. In a study of forty matched nursing homes, staff influenza vaccination rates were 69.9% in the vaccination arm versus 31.8% in the control arm. The vaccinated staff experienced a 42% reduction in sick leave from work (P=.03).[33] A review of eighteen studies likewise found a strong net benefit to health care workers
Yes, verified opt-in is one requirement. But if you don't want to be marked as sender of SPAM, you should also make it *very* simple to unsubscribe.
I know I've subscribed to a few lists, and at first read the emails, then ignored them, and eventually thought "should unsubscribe".
But if that unsubscribing is difficult, I'll just hit "spam" in gmail (or whatever). I don't see the emails and more, and the sender gets blocked as spammer.
same as they need a warrant to use a thermal imaging device to search for grow houses
Really? I see you are right, but that does sound strange to me, living in the Netherlands. Here it's a standard way for the police to track down the growers (even though selling small quantities is half-legal here).
Will google now think of the children?
They blocked my sons gmail address after finding out about his age.
Is he allowed to use this book (I assume it works best while logged in with google for extra storage etc)
5,978,791 - Data processing system using substantially unique identifiers to identify data items, whereby identical data items have the same identifiers
"Substantially unique" - I love that.
It could be the identifier is a hash - there is some chance of collision, so cannot be guaranteed to be unique.
I guess that means the operators will shortly release an update for the phone OS's to also charge for the data the phone sent but wasn't received by the operator.
The problem with this is, IPv4 addresses are not rare. They're not anything like rare. There are approximately ten thousand times as many of them as are actually needed.
Well, with only 32 bits of address space, that's only 4,294,967,296 possible addresses, and there are already more people on the planet. We do need more.
"oh hey, you clicked on this. Click HERE to install yahoo news feed in facebook' or whatever, with no way to just read the goddamn article without installing this app on your facebook profile.
At that point, 90% of the time I just say 'screw it', and leave.
Just copy-paste the title in google, and go to the article from there.
it takes more or less the same amount of energy to accelerate from 3,000 to 3,050 mph (4,828 to 4,908 km/h) as it takes to get from 50 to 100 mph (80 to 161 km/h)
No, kinetic energy goes with the square of velocity. So to accellerate from 3000 to 3050 mph takes as much as to get from 0 to 550 mph. The rest of the article may be interesting, but it's strange they make errors like that.
As a kid my parents walked on the Oregon coast picking up Japanese glass fishing floats that had broken loose from from their nets in storms and made their way here. (You can still search for them now, but most of the floats are now plastic, and there are dedicated collectors and resellers that comb the beaches at 2am with searchlights to get them first so you'd be extremely lucky to find one now.)
Why comb the beaches at 2am? Wouldn't it be easier to just ship a boatload of floats from japan?
Slashdot Mirror
Care to explain to us and the WHO specialists who reported Fukushima-Area Cancer Risks Are Higher Than Normal After Japan Nuclear Disaster why those doctors should not be allowed to practice medicine?
Perfect Forward Secrecy can block the NSA from secure web pages, but no one uses it
Yeah, through fiber it's slower. So if you're in a hurry (and traders are), why send the signal through fiber if you can send it though the air?
Washington to chicago by road is 1100 km, that's 1100 km/300000 km/s = 3.6ms, so in a straight line it would be less than 3.6ms.

Monsanto cannot sue for golden rice either, as there are free licences available, see access for those who need it

Well, wikipedia hasn't forgotten!
All of that being said, SSL needs to be replaced with something better anyway.
And what are you going to replace it with that isn't patented some way?

On the plus side, apple will now sue anyone with sleazy advertisements.

The whole point of the reasoning of the judge was that the link wasn't in the google index (at least not at the time GeenStijl published it).

And how are global temperatures influenced by the location of the magnetic pole? The sun rays aren't influenced by the earth magnetic field.

That's ~300 IP's per fraction of a second.
Good luck with that.
You only need ~256 login attempts to get in. So, yes, you'd only need ~256 IP's to have a 63% chance of gaining root access (1-(255/256)**256).
