I'm only 26, so I don't know how long overdue this is, but I can't seem to remember a time when commercials weren't twice as loud as the show. Can someone fill me in?
Yes, because at Microsoft, the same people are responsible for everything. It's actually a toolshed with two guys in it who handle all the coding, market research, legalese, and so on and so on.
So far they've brought lawsuits on dead people, children, and now a blind guy. What's next, someone who doesn't even own a computer? Oh wait, they totally did that already.
Since no one is reading the article before throwing in their opinion (and thus being wrong, because they just assumed that being accused is the same as being guilty), here's the translation of the post:
If the judiciary doesn’t give us our rights, nobody should be surprised if militant groups appear and conduct a series of assassinations because there is no law and there is no judiciary
That's mentioning the possibility of violence. It is neither calling for it nor encouraging it. What people seem to be doing is taking a prediction as a threat. That would be like me saying, "No one should be surprised if the price of gas goes up" and everyone responding with, "REBELWARLOCK IS THREATENING TO RAISE GAS PRICES".
I use the same mouse and mouse pad at home and work because I got used to the feel. At home, if I press the power button before hooking the mouse back up and putting the mouse pad down, it's already finished booting and waiting for me before I finish. At work, I can go make coffee too before it's done, and that's just to get to the login screen. After loging in, it's another full minute before I can use it.
Take calculator and define for example. I don't need to click anything after searching, because google tells me the answer directly. I would say that's more effective than making me click through for currency conversions and dictionary definitions.
FTFA: He looks like a fish. What are the odds that they're intentionally trying to make him look dumb in an article about Anon's intent to dismantle his cash cow?
From the article: "The two housing companies have agreed to ensure all portable devices are encrypted. Contractors, as well as other staff, will also have their personal data handling monitored."
All they had to do was say they'd be more careful next time, and that was good enough? I almost feel safer hiding my money in a box under my bed at this point.
I have to use everything on that list (other than IE6) to test my web programming. Does that mean I get to add them all up or do I have to "not cheat"?
Since there's nothing remotely tech about this story, with the possible exception of a website existing, and the fact that they do unrelated plugs to other stories in an attempt to make this airbnb thing sound neat, I'm going to go ahead and say this is just an attempt at getting more attention/traffic their way. I'm not saying no vandalism occurred, I'm just saying that there's no part of this story that belongs on slashdot, and it's only here because it serves as a way to get them more of that SEO goodness with the google love machine.
I've tested these things on my own writing, and they seem to be unsure of my gender. The same analyzer will report different genders on different articles, even though they were all written by me, within a couple of months of each other. Even when they're right, they claim to only be about 50-60 percent sure of my gender. I'm male, if that makes a difference. These analyzers seem to think it doesn't.
Can't tell if trolling, or commenting without having read the article.
As far as we've come with internet related technology, 8gb is still a lot of data. They need to actually sort it and make it available for download. One guy with an old laptop as the only seed of an 8gb torrent isn't going to work very well. Also, they made it clear that this is a preview of things to come. Even if you didn't click through to the pastebin, if you bothered to read the article, you would have noticed this line:
"The group has made clear that its sitting on around eight GB of stolen data and that it plans to release it all."
One charity drive I got involved with thanks to a teacher in university was to take old, discarded hardware and form it into something useful for schools. We would get computers that were to be thrown away by the government delivered to the university instead. Then we would salvage as much as we possibly could to make working computers out of them, set up a network that shouldn't require much in the way of maintenance, and educate teachers about how to use it. We'd even appeal to ISPs to get them hooked up with free internet. This was in Belize, which is a third world country. Since I don't really know much about Africa, I'm not sure how helpful that will be, but it's a thought.
Basically, even with numerous submissions of white papers to EPA and their various subsidiaries, I couldn't get any attention to it. However, you don't want to use paint. You want to use polypropylene. It address the concerns of the people above when it comes to the cold, because it's also an insulator. The main concern about using it on a large scale, and the reason RMI turned it down, is that it's hard to determine when or if the additional white space and savings on heating and cooling energy usage would offset the pollution generated by producing the material.
I don't have the resources to pursue this experiment independently, but I do believe we desperately need the white space. I'm just glad someone everyone has heard of is promoting the concept.
Sorry, I'm just not seeing how this would be news to anyone technically adept enough to be interested in reading slashdot. Unsecured wifi is a problem in every part of the world, from third world countries just learning to use it to the most advanced countries. Ten thousand is a big number, but it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.

I like how the summary makes it sound like Finland is a single computer that was hacked into.
Yes, because at Microsoft, the same people are responsible for everything. It's actually a toolshed with two guys in it who handle all the coding, market research, legalese, and so on and so on.
Any clue as to what that snippet means? Me want understand but not speak caveman.

Damn, now I have to buy roller skates and glow sticks. Penetration testing used to be so simple!
My name is Dylan Goss, and I think you're a dumbass. Did I just disprove your point?
Someone is just trying to get a little press buzz and desparately hoping the world takes notice of them.
"Remember that guy who said PCs where going away?"
"No, but he sounds like a dumbass."
Yeah, that should work out great for him.

Don't write about nuclear anything if you're going to do it "in shrt frm". Have the attention span to type the whole word.

That would be "attend to". You can attend to an object. You cannot attend an object.
You can't attend a dictionary. A dictionary is not an event.

I teach an ESL class you might want to attend.

Oh look, it's a flounce cat. But you're not a hypocrite. I'm sure you donate every penny you have, all the time. Right? Right?!

Can we just patent the action of patenting something so that we never have to read another news story on patenting?
