Yes, because so many people are going to jump at the opportunity to use LinkedIn as their provider for their own closed federated login protocol now that theyve been hacked.
Well I'm not entirely convinced at this point whether or not their improvements on on Android or in Linux. If it is indeed Android only they have even *less* obligation to contribute upstream, and even less reason for people to bitch about Intel's stance here. If someone is following the license people have no right to cry foul. Blame the license not the entity following it.
If there is a vulnerability in OpenID I'd love to hear about it.
Choice of identity providers is of course important, but this is decidable by each user. Unlike Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn federated login - if the identity provider for the specific protocol you have chosen is compromised, it exposes all users everywhere to the vulnerability as this LinkedIn compromise has shown - I pity the fool that is using LinkedIn federated login.
No, that is not what they are saying. What they are saying is they are researching it, but will not be publishing their research until such a time as they decide they want it used (either by them shipping it or by committing upstream to get others to ship it). This is the fundamental nature of how the GPL works, so no, nothing wrong with that.
I'm glad to see that altruism is still alive and well, when it's required and only based off other people's work.
If they decide not to actually use their research why should they help their competitors? The GPL does not require them to publish until they distribute and I have no qualms with this.
How many times does this have to be said? Having literally hundreds of thousands of sites on the web that require you to create an account with a password is not a good security model. This should be patently obvious to anyone who spends enough time on the web.
If any of you out there are devs (for consumer-facing web companies) out there - I beg of you to push your company to start supporting OpenID as a reliant party.
And you don't need a drivers license to vote either. But you do need one for buying beer, walking through an apartment for a preview, employment, driving, etc.
Voting is a right. Those other things are not. The homeless (no job, apartment, car... probably still lots of beer) still have a right to vote.
A society does not have to be democratic for its culture to persecute a minority.
Funny how you managed to glaze over:
5. being a jew during the holocaust
Both democratic societies.
Here's more examples:
1. The Ancient Romans held slaves
2. Muslims in America
3. Homosexuals in America
examples of tyranny of the majority:
1. being a homosexual in the middle east
2. being a person of color in America 200 years ago
3. being an atheist in the U.S.
4. being a pagan during the spanish inquisition
5. being a jew during the holocaust

I have prescription glasses too. Might consider getting lasik if a) the glasses live up to their hype and b) my poor vision impedes my usage of them
The optimist in me hopes it might be possible to educate people on the idea of tyranny of the majority.
The pessimist in me knows people are ignorant, have no desire to learn, and even understanding the concept they will still vote for what serves their own interests best.
I actually had something along the lines of "unfortunately Mr. Harper is doing everything in his power to undermine that", but removed it as I felt it might make the whole comment seem too politically leaning. I do however completely agree - Harper is the worst thing to happen to Canada since, well, ever.
Living in Canada, this simple fact make me very happy to be living here instead of a mere 30km south. Nice to know our legal system actually holds the rights of private citizens above those of corporations - note we also do not have "corporate person-hood", it is widely recognized as a legal fiction useful in things like civil suits, but they do not have intrinsic rights, just as buildings or cars do not have rights.
Not everyone uses the internet, yet everyone should be represented.
If this became a widespread phenomenon, I'd agree with you. However this is one (potential) senator. If you don't have internet or don't believe in this model and live in his district you can vote against him in the general election like everyone else. You will not have been disenfranchised in any way, or at least no more than the current representational system.
I'd be more worried about the ability of the state or other powerful parties to disenfranchise a citizen by denying internet access, especially when it is done without being found guilty of anything in a court of law.
Never underestimate the stubbornness of intentional ignorance.
FTFY - When creationists hear anything you might call "proof" of evolution they basically put their fingers and their ears and scream "I'm not listening" over and over.
I believe the issue is the beancounters cut down and limit helpdesk and then the policy changes where the amount of calls/tickets doubles, yet they are still supposed to have them all finished by the end of the day. This drives up support costs and puts the burden on the workers. If the employer refuses to pay for more support then those who need to get their email or other more appropriate business oriented task done will have to wait.
If this is indeed the reality of your workplace, it should not be too difficult for you to demonstrate the increase in ticket volume. If your manager still believes you can do twice the work with half the staff, it is your manager's problem - not your users' problem. Do not take it out on your users, or attempt to say what is good for the entire workforce globally (your comment "BYOD does not belong in the workplace") based upon your manager's near-sightedness.
Worse, they now need to learn IOS, Andriod, and Blackberry in edition to Windows and Cisco stuff on their dime.
I'm sorry, but this industry is constantly changing. That is the reality of it. Again, if you can't handle that you are in the wrong line of work.
Slashdot Mirror
what are they using as their definition of "project"
New apps that use Flurry Analytics. So you are spot on with:
Android developers don't care for Flurry as their analytic solution
Story is bogus</thread>
Nah. All the cool people hate "hipsters" these days.
So it's hip to hate hipsters? Does that make hipster haters hipsters?

Hell, why would I want to use the same identity on all sites?
Noone says you need to use the same identity on all sites (or that you can only have one OpenID).
Yes, because so many people are going to jump at the opportunity to use LinkedIn as their provider for their own closed federated login protocol now that theyve been hacked.
I'll say it again: OpenID.
Well I'm not entirely convinced at this point whether or not their improvements on on Android or in Linux.

What happens when openid is broke? Oh....

Its about time they got off their asses and implemented support for OpenID.
Parent should be modded up. Also, slashdot editors should get a stern talking to.
With IPv6 support

Original answer included 2. being a person of c_olor in America 200 years ago.. it can trimmed somehow.
