Thanks FCC. Thanks for allowing media companies to consolidate, thus forcing many local stations out of business. Maybe you can fuck up the internet next by making it a tiered system.
Valve's server DID get hacked back before the release of Half Life 2, which resulted in the source code for their Source engine, and an unfinished build of Half Life 2 getting leaked. I have a feeling they learned their lesson after that. They definitely have the money to do security correctly, if they wish.
The only drug dealers accepting bit-coin for their drugs are the ones using their own product. I'm sorry to say, but bit-coin has ZERO value in what 99.99% of people refer to as the real world. It might make you a rich man in Second Life, but you aren't going to be buying a joint of Mexican schwag weed with this stuff outside of the internet.
Well until you get some private investors to pony up the necessary cash to do this, I'd say it's safe to track down the lineage of any moon rocks currently on the planet to NASA.
It's pretty astounding that these companies can whine about data usage of their paying customers, and then not bat an eye and upload who knows how many gigabytes of useless games/apps to people who don't even want the crap.
Nice to see that people kept working on this. I still use my Xbox for standard def media, and music, all the time. It makes for a great little network connected media device.
Gnome went from being the most usable, stable, "just works" DE for unix-like systems, to a steaming pile of crap, IMHO. I'm still in shock that they took a stable, functional foundation that was Gnome 2, and just literally threw it all away. I tried to give Gnome 3 a chance, but it's like a damned cell-phone UI.
ATI drivers are not currently supported in the official repository. Go to their forums and find the "ati bar and grill" thread. (at this point the info could already be in the official Wiki, check there too) In there are instructions for enabling a community ATI repository. I haven't had ATI in Linux for a few months, but the last time I used the community ATI repo, I had it all working great.
I'm still waiting for a sleek UI with no buttons, sliders, toggles, or anything else. I just want a brushed aluminum skin on everything, with no controls at all.
What it means, is that we have something we really need to observe more examples of, before we jump to conclusions. It's a very interesting observation though. This very well could turn out to be a way to scientifically predict large earthquakes. Only time and more research will tell.
Ubuntu has a special status for me, because it's what I learned the basics of Linux on. These days I use a mix of Arch (for bleeding edge) and Slackware (for stability), and I doubt I would have ever delved in to learning Linux as deeply as I have if it weren't for Ubuntu. Although these days I really don't like the direction they're heading in. Too much re-inventing the wheel, not enough refining.
The last time I played around with Ubuntu I actually found it had more quirks, bugs, and stability problems than my Arch Linux install, which is a rolling release. I think these days, if I was going to set up a Linux box for someone, that only wanted to use it and not tinker with it under the hood, I'd just put Slackware on it and configure it for them.

It isn't up to google to babysit your kids.
I read it exactly the same way. I guess using "A" and "on" was too much extra typing. :D

They should do another 1984 commercial, but this time just go all out and embrace Big Brother.
What would be interesting is if you can find an actual example of someone willing to sell drugs for bit-coin. This story offers no examples at all.

Porn server, media server, I see no distinction!
For whom? Not everyone lives on a trust fund.
In Japan they take care of their old.
In the US we have a political faction hell bent on denying elderly people access to the very programs they funded with tax money their entire lives.

It would have been far cheaper to just hire qualified staff, and pay them a decent wage.
I hope they just stick with the universe the book was in. There is no need to make it historically accurate.
Try reading the book. I know 1984 was soooo long ago, but you might be surprised....

Xfce seems great to me. I dumped Gnome3 for it, and haven't looked back. I still do not see the logic of taking Gnome 2 and just throwing it away.
If Apple decided to "protect users from themselves" would that be just a bit too 1984?

In those days, for me, it was ICQ and IRC.

Can anyone explain, in a logical manner, why exactly we need IP addresses assigned to light bulbs?
