It's not exactly a magical leap powered by unicorns and fairies to have a bitcoin wallet. You might as well say they're using CSS pseudoclasses - it would be exactly as newsworthy.
The only way this could have been more blatant of an advertisement is if they had put in a preorder link. Even if it wasn't, their "controlled gap" is just a corner that juts out so you can't push it up against the wall properly. It's just not very impressive in terms of, well, anything.
Besides, I'm pretty sure the slashdot crowd builds their own rigs anyway.
I think the threats against her are retarded. The only way to kill her is to stop giving her attention. She would shrivel and die if no one listened to her nonsense.
Both the summary and headline (on slashdot - it's different on TFA) are a bunch of horseshit. Here's what the headline looks like on TFA:
A Law Enforcement Encounter: If you ran a Bitcoin related service before the thing hit $100 you prolly ought to be somewhat concerned and/or prepared
The rest of the article suggests he was only interviewed because of that service as well. So unless every single early user of bitcoin started up an exchange service, the part we have on slashdot is almost entirely fictional.
If you played GTA Vice City, you probably remember how utterly insane the political radio interviews were. I once posted as my status a chunk of one of those interviews, and watched people proceed to lose their shit in my general direction. If you don't realize I'm joking when you see me post, "It's simple: if you don't have a job, starve", we probably won't get along very well anyway.
Alright, why don't you tell us what actually happened? The linked article said he did. Furthermore, that article linked this one, that actually included a screenshot of the Siri query. That in turn linked this one, which also collaborates the story. So tell us, in all your wisdom, what really happened?
Not a single death was reported. Hey, here's an idea: don't make your headlines misleading. Patents might not be my favorite thing in the world, but unless they are literally killing people, then this headline is horseshit. The Economist just got added to my blacklist for that. Good job, jackasses!
So between TOR and bitcoin, they think they finally have a viable method of collecting on ransomware. Also, I found it interesting that they're asking specifically for 0.6BTC - that is, double what Cryptolocker is asking. I wonder if there's an intentional correlation there.
I'm shocked, really. Tablets and wireless communication aren't exactly the pinnacle of human achievement right now. Get back to me when they do something innovative.
8.1 might be a huge step up, but it doesn't matter. People remember the UI disaster that was Windows 8, and figure 8.1 can't be that much different. It has such a bad reputation, they'll need to call it something else to sell it at this point. Would you even consider having a doctor give you Cancer.1, or would you hear the question and immediately get yourself a new doctor without even finding out what Cancer.1 was?
Thing is, you can get an ISP to donate an internet connection to a school. If you have poor kids, they probably go to a poor school, so why not just hook up the school with a network of linux machines and let the kids learn there?
Let me know when you have an objective article I can read. Also, thanks for showing your bias instantly in the summary so I knew not to bother clicking on anything.
Slashdot Mirror
That's down from 16,000,000 a couple years ago. So yes, that's a major loss.

That's a whole lot of salt. You must be mad that no one liked your favorite brand's advertisement.

This has been around for a while. Did we really need a new study to say the same thing?

Because Bennet. He loves interjecting his opinion pieces where they were neither requested nor required.
Was anyone really wondering if operating systems no longer mattered? Might as well have gone with "Nothing is different" as your headline.

"We made our phone look a little different" isn't news for nerds, or anyone, really.

So in your mind, only American companies should be in the news when they do something like this?
I'll take spyware over metro any day.

Elon Musk is going to setup a 3d printed Raspberry Pi array to farm bitcoins, thus causing buzzwords to reach critical mass.
It's a computer. You can do a lot of things with a computer. Why do we need an article every time anyone uses it for anything?

Chances are, if you need fucking Dice to tell you what languages to learn, you probably aren't a very good programmer.
In its latest bid to kill more people

A shame evolution can't do anything about your vocabulary.
Accidentally modded you redundant instead of insightful, so I'm replying to drop the score dock.
