Maybe a bit off topic but why is this story being displayed with a Bitcoin avatar? Just because the submitter somehow thinks that they're coming for his Bitcoins next?
Give me a fucking break.
Didn't some SA Goons do something similar with a Dwarf Fortress world file? I'm not sure of the stipulations on when your time was up, but it seemed interesting. Someone started a new world, did some work, posted screen caps and summaries, and then handed it off to another Goon. Only one person could play it at a time. Rinse and repeat. The thread was entertaining to read, for sure.
I was going to give the Hopefully a while answer but for completely different reasons.
They stated that they have hundreds of people going through it. If one of those hundreds leaked it, I imagine it wouldn't take many resources to figure out who it was. I mean, these guys just killed the Hide and Seek World Champion; surely a mole in their own group would be much easier to locate and neutralize.
Also, is this information relevant? With Wikileaks, lots of the information and cables were in the vein of what the United States government was doing or saying without letting the US citizens know. The data that is contained on some spinning platters in OBL's compound could be, well, anything. It might not even be pertinent to any country's citizens.
Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it’s pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.
It would be easy to set up a weakly protect access point that did nothing but generate bogus transactions with bad credit card numbers - that could pollute the crook's database, particularly if they don't do a good job of recording of which card number came from which network.
They could do that, yes, but I would hope that these war drivers understand that nearly all credit card numbers are generated according to the Luhn check. They would run those bad credit card numbers through an algorithm that returns a boolean value denoting whether the credit card is valid or not. If not, they would simply send it to the bit bucket in the sky.
Not trying to flamebait but Sony? The same Sony that chose to remove the OtherOS option (which allowed users to run a form a Linux) from their PS3 consoles? Why would they be one of the founding members of this organization?
You don't really need to RFTA on this one. The submitter copied the first half of the article verbatim. The second half was an example of some guy asking for help with the shade polygon error and then getting permabanned from a forum. Ho-hum.
If a sniper has a clear shot and takes a person out, well, that target will be dead before the sound waves reach the device. But at least the rest of the squad would know where the shot came from and respond accordingly.
Except no religion is mentioned. This is simply a belief into how the universe was created. Yes, there are ID believers that also follow a monotheistic religion but do all of them follow the same one? Are they all Catholic, Lutheran, or Baptist? Or maybe they are a Christian or of Native American descent.
I agree with you completely. Shooting someone in a place of worship and firebombing clinics sound like intimidation through violence to promote an agenda to me. Classify all anti-abortionists as terrorists;)
I guess I'll just have no home Internet then! The only other high-speed (never had dial-up, don't want to start now) ISP available to me is Comcast, a company that implemented caps back in 2008. And I've already checked, no business class connection available where I live.
Awesome.
If you're a reader of slashdot, I'm sure you're aware how far a couple of hard drives (internal and external) and off-site storage will go. Tell her to start copying them to a hard drive, upload them to Facebook, but don't delete them. Start this now and then tell her to go back and download her profile as someone in the thread already mentioned. Simple, really, unless I'm missing something in the question.
In the same vein your daughter's question, what about all the meta data attached to the posted picture itself? For example, everyone that is tagged in the photo, the caption of the photo, and the comments that went along with it. Yes, I would rather want the photo than the extraneous information, but I'm sure someday I'm going to have trouble some people are in those images..
I miss when a 266 MHz CPU and 64 MB of RAM was enough to do serious work under Linux.
Two things. One, don't even install X or any WMs, just run everything from the command line. Two, your complaint is not exclusively geared towards the operating system itself; the software you run on that OS has also changed in the 15 years since you booted up that old shitbox.
I am trying to weed out the fucking donation link amongst ~*8 links (and maybe ones i dont see) sprinkled and 'beautifully' embedded in the sentences as part of sentences in the summary and articles...why are people doing this ?
I usually do this so that people can understand what the link is about before clicking on it. This is also useful for people that use programs which read aloud the web page. Having a program saying "here" is a link that goes to some URL is a lot less descriptive than "donate to GeoHot" which points to the same URL.
They actually changed that with a recent site revision. If you click the actual link, you won't find any responses or answers, just a box with a link telling you to subscribe now.
Instead, just do what has always worked and use the Google cached link. You might have to look a bit harder to find the accepted solution, but it's there.
Stable? Just as stable as Tunisia and Egypt right? The only difference is that because Iranians never had that much freedom.
They probably did have enough freedom before the Iranian Revolution. However, what they didn't have was a medium to quickly disperse information that Tunisia and Egypt did.
So the answer in this case would still be no. If someone were to find the hardware (aka tool) to read the NASA tapes, it would be put to use.
Tools only die (or become obsolete, rather) if the use for them no longer exist. So once they found the hardware, read the NASA tapes, threw the data onto some modern spinning platters, what of the tape reader? Do they keep it around in case more tapes are found? Do they moth-ball it in some museum storage warehouse? Or do they just salvage working parts and melt the rest?
If we're serious about Middle East dependencies and carbon footprint, then we need to act serious.
First, I would debate that are not dependent on Middle East oil. Canada and Mexico alone provide the US with about 39% of our crude oil. When you compare that to roughly 20% coming from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait, I think we're more dependent on the countries we border than any other state.

This would be a big deal. There was someone who put up nearly $1 Billion on the fact that the US would lose it's AAA rating. The US did and they made ridiculous money.

They've basically mined the consumer market until it's depleted, and then they move on.
That sounds like a.. oh.. what's the word... parasite?

That is not what the GP is getting at. Using the outcome of a project is not the same as pushing the project forward.

Also, tool and die in the title, cute =)
