The high-definition format is accentuating imperfections in the actors — from a little extra cellulite on a leg to wrinkles around the eyes. [..] "The biggest problem is razor burn," said Stormy Daniels, an actress, writer and director. "I'm not 100 percent sure why anyone would want to see their porn in HD."
as a more serious remark: no, I didn't expect a different outcome of the update. It seems that Apple is way too exposed, the [add color]-hat scene has a new interesting opponent - it is boring to hit guys already lying on the ground. But Apple fights like hell to keep their secrets secret, obviously irresistible for hackers.
This reminds me of the PS3 debacle: The system was attacked after Sony removed the playground "other OS", I believe that a more open approach for iDevices (like store-independent software installation) would decrease the breaking attempts.
maybe I read a different article but the description sounds like a database search; they compared copies of the license pictures and similar pictures were selected.
according to an interview with an kidnapping negotiator one of the main reasons for the Somalis becoming pirates is overfishing - most of the economy crashed because they cannot compete with the sophisticated trawler fleet. A FAO paper claims that illegal foreign ships are one of the main reasons for the depletion of maritime resources.
Without a government and while illegal fishing is profitable (pirating started with selling bogus fishing licenses to foreign ships, see here) the problems cannot solved; one proposal was an export embargo but this wasn't successful in the UN security council.
but the abstract art of my PGP pub key is *ugly*. It is hard enough to keep track of all keys, the want for nice "vashes" add a whole new layer of complexity...
Q: is there any other 30-year-old technology still present in current computers?
What about SCSI? or RS-232? not as omnipresent as Ethernet but still more or less common. Happy birthday Ethernet, but you are not the only remaining dinosaur...
The comment should have at least once sentence saying who these people are. I don't recognize the names "Ashley Highvale" and "Randal Alfredson".
While we don't need the whole detailed annotation, at least some context would be helpful. Even if I had read about these people and whatever shenanigans they're involved in earlier, I might not remember it now.
according to this press release they reacted. Last year. with an update.
even THC's wikipage claims that the project was enden mid-2010 because of "too much fun with other things". This hack is very interesting, but more for historical reasons and not because everyone is now vulnerable

why the bad mood? is it cloudy at your place?
fun fact: porn industry has problems with high definition

you mean like a local independent bookshop where you can flip through the pages?
strange, even video.linux.com embeds only the youtube clip...
combine this sweety with a Kinect interface and I want one...
TFS is kind of stupid, so a group of students used a Kinect to control an industry robot. Cool idea, even without the Star-Wars-rhubarb.
Note: "There was an unknown error in the submission", constantly. I suspect you think this is spam
nah, /. implemented Hotmails ban of common passwords and "swordfish" is on the list...

great stuff :)
The original Apple logo was an elaborate drawing of Newton sitting under an apple tree

they even filed it at the European Patent Office. it is not perfect and we saw some exceptions but in general the rule no software patents is working and enforced.
why did they try this? it's madness...
the first line of "The Tragedy of King Lear"?

a spokesperson of a game analytics shop says that game analytics are the next big thing? ...completely unexpected...
not bad, but you're missing at least 100 lines of text to be a realistical substitute of the one and only apk
Perhaps the Internet doesn't make stupid
sigh. Die Zeit is a respected weekly paper here in Germany, but headlines like this are not really helpful...
so the symbol for pound sterling isn't part of the English language world?
(but it seems my blurb came to late: at least in the preview £ is displayed correctly. did I miss a /. software update?)
Anyone reading this is using ASCII.
unfortunately. The single most stupid thing on Slashdot* is the missing UTF-8 support.
kreuzdämlich & scheiße if you often use non-ASCII-characters...

according to this wiki entry it is possible to create multiple key pairs for one address, so public keys are not compulsorily unique identifiers.

according to 502. Enlistment oath: who may administer the loyality is indeed person-bound (but at least including the constitution)
do it, publish it somewhere, submit the story and I will mark the submission as "+ interesting". deal?
Lem is great! A good starting point are The Star Diaries, a collection of short stories - they give a good overview of the range of Lem's style(s).
