It's obvious what the problem is—not enough is being done to promote employee awareness of their responsibility to help protect their own work and that of their colleagues. To that end, I propose setting up a site where IT people can download informative posters and pamphlets to fight back in the war not against personal freedom but against data integrity. Here is one example of a precedent.
You so silly. The classic Kindle is perfectly rootable. It even has an motd set for when you ssh into it the first time! Installing weird fancy programs like nibbles or a local terminal is as simple as adding the appropriate signature to your keychain and popping the.jar (well,.azw2) into the documents folder. Amazon's effort toward securing the device against local attacks has been described as "accidental at best."
The study attempted to prevent that by including Wiktionary and a few other sources, but I'm not convinced by the methodology given. You've probably hit the nail on the head.
I think they'd probably design the circuits so that there wasn't enough of the liquid metal to reach the next wire over. That being said, this probably only works under normal gravity, so what you're suggesting might be something of an issue in space.
I assume that is some kind of canned reply—first because me having a "fanboi" would require gender reassignment surgery, and second because I pointed out that the opinion I was giving was admittedly framed by the potentially rosy-tinted glasses of tech journalism.
However, if you absolutely must rake the mud some more, here is a summary of HTC's position. Searching for "google sues apple" yields no results, and "ibm sues apple" only returns results relating to a case where an executive chip designer chose to move to Apple.
In light of the above, I kindly invite you to shut the fuck up.
Nope. It's a choice. Apple is choosing to strangle the competition while they have the strong hand. Microsoft chooses to set up a protection racket with companies that infringe on their vaguely-defined Linux patents. In contrast, IBM and Google (generally?) don't pursue patent suits unless they're attacked first. (At least, that's the impression that's been put forth by tech journalism.)
Sure. GPL (well, GPLv2) software is a car that can be copied an infinite number of times. Its original manufacturer says that anyone can use it, modify it, and repair it, as long as they let others copy it under the same terms. BSD software, on the other hand, says anyone can do anything with their car copies, since the original will always still exist—even people who want to prevent others from modifying, using, or repair their modified versions (i.e. pine-scented air fresheners, fuzzy dice, truck nuts, giant spoilers, neon lights underneath, racing stripes...)
I think you probably do [suck at Googling]. I'm almost certain there was a story about this exact thing within the past year or two. At the very least, the Google search "FPGA co-processing" returns a lot more results than "FPGA co-processor".
I think you mean "So American Slashdotters can ignore the geek appeal of the topic and continue bitching about how destructive their culture of competition is."
That's really what you meant to say, right? Right?
They've already won, man. They've already won. Next it's going to be the government after your children, and before you know it you'll be making posts that sound like they're coming from For A Free Internet.
I think you'll find you meant to say "author probably walked through a University of Notre Dame door at the University of Notre Dame while typing that."
What in the world are you talking about? Everyone else in the entire world thinks that's perfectly normal in the entire world! Don't you know anything worldly about the world's richest men in the world? We in this world are not talking about the world's richest men anywhere else!
The editors say: 'Only 25% of the Slashdot users seem to be strictly against any dupes.'
Perhaps the rest appreciate the reminder? (I hear the average Slashdot user memory span in political debates is that of a goldfish. What were we talking about again?)
I think perhaps the other 75% are those whose computer-literate relatives have aggressively installed Firefox and ABP on their computers on their behalf.
In fact, come to think of it, it sort of makes me wonder if perhaps the majority of people who haven't converted to Chrome might be people who were never all that in control of their destiny in the first place...

re your sig: "anal rape" is not an anagram of "dell servers". I recommend instead "dell hardware = larded whaler".

Welcome to Kindle!

Look on the bright side: with all of those LEDs in the tie[1], you might be able to get away with syncing it to Die Roboter[2].

Because I am not a physicist and assume blithely that everything obeys macro-scale Newtonian physics, duh.
Well, yes, but it's still a mind-numbingly lazy troll. We can't just fork out funny points for just anything!
I think they'd probably design the circuits so that there wasn't enough of the liquid metal to reach the next wire over. That being said, this probably only works under normal gravity, so what you're suggesting might be something of an issue in space.
I'm not entirely certain I like the idea of Mr. T fixing PCBs. Dwight Schultz, on the other hand... Okay, I'm sold.
Dearest Jake,
Are you even trying any more? I know there haven't been a lot of stories that are easy to troll, but this one is kind of stretching it.
Sincerely,

They tried that! The market is now saturated. (Mostly with sweat from the heat output.)

I'm glad someone noticed.
Then go look the numbers up and compile them into groups yourself.

So... you're saying you're not in control of your destiny? Methinks you need to re-read my post.
I'm pretty sure that's a troll, since the text of the post has never been used outside of this thread. :)
