I'd guess it's just hacks of other sites, filter it on just gmail accounts and hope they used the same password for both
Really just people trying to ride the coat tails of the fappening. Ermagurd, mad hax!
My email is on the list (afforess@gmail.com, go check!) I use a password for gmail I have never used for any other site. So I don't see how this can be the case. I have 2FA on the account, so not too worried, but still!
Lol what? I visited San Francisco over Christmas and rented a home inside the city center, the bus system was great! The waits at any station was never > 7 minutes, and usually 2-3 minutes. Almost everyone there used the bus systems, and you can also use BART to get outside of the Bay area if you need to. I wish the public transportation in my area (Grand Rapids Michigan) was half as good as San Francisco.
I think commentators should stick to topics they are familiar with instead of making wild, false claims.
The models are off because up until 2009/2010-ish were actually experiencing a natural cooling trend, which masked our artificial warming trend and came out as a wash. Now that the cooling trend has subsided, warming is expected to spike in the coming decade.
If you follow it to it's logical conclusion, the best programmer's flip the machine bits by hand...
Correct: the best programmers can use machine code if needed. But the best programmers also don't abuse the apostrophe as much as you did...
If I found out someone was manipulating code at the machine level - I'd definitely have issues with that. You lose portability and expose yourself to a nearly infinite amount of issues - there really aren't many cases left where this would even be remotely advisable.
PS. Nitpicking grammar - that's nearly as bad as using machine code directly.:p
Let me get this straight - you think that a harder programming language increases programmer competence. While I'm not defending Java, this logic is deeply flawed.

This may be an unpopular theory, but I think Wikipedia's shrinking community has little to do with the admins behavior. I've only personally heard about their poor behavior from 3rd, 4th, or 5th hand accounts. But that's purely anecdotal and a side-tangent.
I think the reason the community is shrinking is because Wikipedia, at least the English version, is complete. I'm not implying that there isn't more information that can be added, but as far as the sum of human knowledge goes, I'd guess that they have gotten past that "magic" 95% marker for easily acquired knowledge. Most of the remaining work to be done is article maintenance, and filling in mundane details of niche articles or emerging fields. The days when 5th graders wrote articles on your home town or park near you is gone. My quaint home town article for Rockford, MI (a town with less than 5000 people) is nearly 3 pages long! (I can't believe there was enough to even fill in 1 page, after the generic census data...),
This isn't a bad thing. It's the natural evolution of such a site. Wales should pat himself on the back and congratulate the community for his contribution to society as a whole. Wikipedia is a job well done and has moved our world forward in a positive direction, in what is becoming a rarer achievement every day.
Speculate being the key word. If you had in fact, read the article, you'd know that the Roadster was primarly a proof-of-concept and they are gearing up production for newer cars, using the technology behind the roadster and the knowledge they gained from building it.
Ubuntu does not maintains Long Term releases that long. Apple is notorious for dropping support for previous OS X versions (um, talk to the people trapped on OS X 10.4 due to the intel switch).
I feel compelled to mention that they only increase their streaming selection every day. Just recently, all of the Star Trek TV series came on Instant (There goes my free time). So technically, they are adding value every day, and not charging more for it. Imagine if they charged based on the size of their streaming catalogue, or per-usage.;)
Also, Amazon, Google, and Hulu combined still don't match up. Add that to increasing contractual costs (http://money.cnn.com/2011/07/08/technology/netflix_starz_contract/), and the price increase is no surprise.
Finally, keep in mind this is a price decrease for those not interested in streaming at all, and $16 is WAY cheaper than my previous $50 cable bill...
I take it you live in your mom's basement, because Bitcoin mining is never profitable (anymore) due to elecricity costs. I calculated it out a few months back, at least in Michigan, leaving a 500 watt computer on 24/7 for 30 days costs ~$35. Expect that to rise over time.
It couldn't possibly be worse than Facebook. With Google's transparency with privacy, and already working business model (has facebook ever posted a profit?), I'd trust them over Facebook in a heartbeat.
Facebook screws me over daily. No, I don't want any facebook credits. No, I don't want to play farmville. Disgusting...
And yet you still use Facebook, daily?
Do I have a choice? Co-workers/Friends (use the term "friend" losely) get insulted if I don't "like" or comment on their inane ramblings at least 3-4 times a week.

One must wonder if you really even RTFA, or are just that dense. The 3-d printer using sand and the sun uses widely available resources, in a relatively short time span, to create complex objects, with little/no waste or pollution of any kind. (Exempting the manufacturing of the printer and solar panels themselves). I have not heard of any such similar achievements. The process itself is easy to oversee, (unskilled labor) and seems like it could be scaled up for larger production easily. This process could possibly be used to help start manufacturing on other words, with Mars being mostly sand. What about this achievement is unimpressive, other than your reading comprehension?
Really, the FBI isn't afraid that capturing one alleged member of LulzSec won't cause the other members to bolt and hide the evidence, but disclosing the names will?
It's days like these I think elementary logic classes should be manditory.
Google voted against because of licensing terms. Specifically, Oracle has been using their newfound ownership of Java to harrass the Apache foundation, and their free open-source Harmoney implementation of Java. Several other major firms, (IBM & Red Hat) complained in their comments after the vote. They have refused to grant Apache a tck (Technology Compatibility Kit)
I like the European date format. dd/mm/yy makes sense, since it goes from the smallest time frame (days), to the largest. The American format seems silly.
As I understand it, life evolved QUICKLY on Earth. I mean, we went from a barren rock with magma flows and some water to teeming lakes of bacterium in the blink of an eye. (Relatively speaking). Only 500 million years after the heavy bombardment from meteors, and a mere 25 million years after the moon formed, Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes formed. As far as the universe goes, that's hardly any time at all.
The best explaniation for this rapid growth is that life didn't actually have to start here, but came from meteorites.
Again, I am not an expert, just an interested college student. Anyone with real knowledge, please correct me.

Actually, you could make the counter claim that the story title is bad.
After all, it isn't stealing to pick money off the ground, it isn't hacking to visit public web data.

Or we could just jump to convenient conclusions given a tiny dataset.

Bad reviews can be just as interesting as good ones. Do you only eat candy bars because they taste good too?
And totally mean-spirited, but has Slashdot ever reviewed a book and given them a bad score? Like less than 5/10?
If not, what's the point of scoring them?

Sorry buddy, your facts are wrong.
How many other companies are expected to maintain 10+ year old software, even after TWO new releases (Vista, Win7) are available?

Meteorologists have known about this for some time. They tend to form what is known as "Hole Punch" clouds.

That or the ability to edit posts. ;)

IMHO, dates should be easily human readable, not easily computer readable. Last I checked, computers served people, not the other way around.
I know you're joking but....
I like the European date format. dd/mm/yy makes sense, since it goes from the smallest time frame (days), to the largest. The American format seems silly.
