TechCrunch is citing AT&T is behind it, yet they have absolutely no evidence to indicate that. It is in both Apples and AT&Ts interest to keep the Google Voice app off the iPhone. TechCrunch is just blaming AT&T so they can keep their Apple fanboyism going.
A couple years back when FireFox threw a security warning on every single freaking site, including legitimate ones you basically had to ignore it. It was either that or just don't get anything done. FireFox isn't that bad anymore, but because of that people are used to just clicking through without caring.
This is why there is a delicate balance between too much and too little security.
In second grade they taught us cursive, claiming that we would use it for the rest of our life and without it we would never get a job. When we switched over to middle school none of our teachers used cursive, and none of them would accept papers written in cursive either.
Why is it inferior? Because it has the Microsoft name attached to it? I would invite you to take the blind search test to see which search engine is really the best for you: http://blindsearch.fejus.com/
Websites like that generally don't bother paying for photos or getting the proper rights. They just host offshore and copy paste them to their hearts content.
Sell it to a porn site? Why on earth would a porn site want pictures from FaceBook, the vast majority of which are of fully clothed individuals? The zillion photos FaceBook has have no monetary value besides the traffic they bring from people who are friends the individuals in the pictures.
Now there are other reasons you shouldn't post incriminating pics to FaceBook, but porn sites buying them isn't it.
Yeah because a sea worthy steamer, scud missile launcher and crude nuclear weapon are so easy to come by. Not saying the smart grid doesn't have other problems but it is far from easy to do serious EMP damage.
Oreos are a symbol of black power and the racist ideals Obama is trying to indoctrinate our wonderful nation with. The pure Aryan nation is represented by clean white filling of the Oreo, with the other less pure races as the hard cookie, squeezing on both sides ever last bit of culture the white man has left. We must rise against and elect Vanilla Wafers as or government cookie. White power!/s
This is probably off topic but it just reminded me something that happened to me as a naive child. I had bought a watch at Kmart a few days earlier, and it had inexplicably stopped working. So I went back into Kmart to get them to fix it. Then the lady there tried to claim that I had a type of blood that prevented the use of all battery powered devices near my arm.
In retrospect she was probably just too lazy to try and fix it. Does something like this actually exist, and if so would it prevent this cell phone blood testing?
Get over yourself, the method doesn't do shit to bittorrent, the most popular p2p format so it's basically useless. If anything this will just get idiots off limewire into onto a decent network.
Ideas are worth absolutely zilch. Any of the 6 billion people on earth can come up with your idea, and probably have. What is valuable is the execution of ideas.
So my advice is to pick one idea that you like and execute on it. You'll probably find out your idea wasn't that good after all and fail. Do this another 10 times or so and you'll finally get one idea that works. Stick with that one. Good luck.
I tried to order a domain from GoDaddy once, after clicking through six pages of crap addons at checkout I decided the marginal savings wasn't worth it and moved to NameCheap.
Charging higher than market price isn't scammy or illegal. Sure the pirated copies of windows, stealing personal data etc. will get in trouble with the law, but charging $400 for a refurb hard drive is totally legal. If the customer wants to take their business elsewhere that is their choice.
And my (and my employer's) dollars can speak a lot louder than this comment.
The great thing about the internet is that your comment can speak louder. Maybe your comment convinces someone to do a little digging and find out who is helping Iran. After that ten other people, maybe some with even greater spending power than the yourself hear about this and follow suit. These people tell other people and a movement is born, Iran is finally reformed. All because of your comment. Now this is starting to sound like a Hallmark film.
We need one of these for the internet

Switching off-site backups every week is an unnecessary hassle. Back up to an external hard drive and an online backup service. Anything more than that is overkill unless you have really important data.
I think we should just tag this Slashdot post allnightparty. We can all drop e together and contribute to an open source project. You know, what Slashdot admins were doing when they coded the CSS of this site.
Who would buy a book from a publisher and sales person who think it's okay to sell you DRM crap and then take it away on a whim when you can get those exact same books legally, and for free?
"everything from top to bottom roll-your-own to buying things pre-built" Is there some way to get high off computers now? I tried smoking all that junk that fell in my keyboard but it just smelt like burnt hair.

All European countries? Spain is the only one, and lawmakers are trying to change that.
Living in Kansas is crazy cheap though. You can buy a legit house with a foundation and everything for 30k.

"while MS users largely resent MS" Where the hell did you get this idea?

I'm still waiting on the scores of cancer cures that have been promised over the past decade. Talk is cheap.

Stealing content from a top 10 list kind enough to put their content on 2 pages instead of 10, stay classy slashdot.
