Hrmmm... You have a great point... More computers won't make the job easier... Smarter computers will...
Look at Watson... Specifically designed to measure the value of information in both directions and use these values real time as it sorts through massive amounts of data...
Areas where humans were thought to be the only solution, here comes Watson...
Law, medical diagnostics, computer software troubleshooting, etc...
These are all areas where Watson will soon dominate...
We can only hope the Utah data center will NOT have IBM as one of the contractors...
Actually, I know many families that can't make enough to afford a computer but make too much to get free health insurance... or even reduced price lunches for their kids...
Not everyone on slashdot makes a great living... Some of us are just getting by...
Of these three-letter-agencies twisting the law to fit their needs. And, without any of the necessary oversight that we were promised.
So, I guess my question is, are things going to get better because we have a more aggressive flashlight for exposing these secret interpretations of our law, or, will this just keep getting worse until something significantly worse happens? Something like, Egypt, Syria, etc...
Revolutions are nothing new... I just wish they weren't so damned violent and terrifying.
Get them while they're young and you'll have a "___________" (insert appropriate noun here) for life... Customer, slave, zealot, etc...
The only problem is that government is allowing corporations to push their agenda in the classroom... It wasn't enough to have it at the beginning of every one of their Disney movies --you know, the ones that kids watch ad infinitum, now they're allowed to spread their FUD in the schools, too! Yay!
How long before we see "Lunch! Sponsored by McDonald's", etc...
That's not the only issue at play here...
The backers for this program (RIAA/MPAA) are all wealthy, so their kids will never see these things in school. They'll be free from the propaganda and allowed to be creative and free. But, not the common man, because he can't afford freedom...
Hrmm... I wonder if that's how this is supposed to work... Freedom for those that can afford it...
Makes me wonder if there'll ever be a Star Trek-esque Utopia...
Sapphire because glass gets scratched... Sapphire (or transparent aluminum --I know, it's Aluminum Oxide) is nearly as hard as diamonds... Very impervious to scratches...
That's exactly what this is... In no uncertain terms!
Fuck... Pot, meet Kettle...
WiFi is explicitly radio... and it's readily accessible without any intervention on the users behalf...
I regularly connect to unsecured hotspots without even meaning to...
Blah...
I can't even express how utterly exasperated I am with our government...and the people that keep them in office...
God damn...
Well, there's one thing our government is good at, learning from past mistakes... Those gladiatorial games were great inspiration for our current raft of "populace pacification techniques"... TV, sports, and (to a lesser extent) religion...
When will we wake up... When will the common man stand his ground and tell those in power to go fuck themselves? When?
Slashdot Mirror
*speechless*
It's "First of all" not "First all"...
It's the first in a list of all the items your going to talk about...
Hey, if you're gonna grammar Nazi someone...
It was good enough in my day... :)
HAHAHAHA!
Wait! Are you serious?!
Hhahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahaha!
Damnit!

Perhaps he shouldn't have posted it on the internet if he didn't want people prying or criticizing or trolling or etc...
If it's for security reasons, then ask that...
If he's looking to be a helicopter parent, then he should ask that...
Without a reason, he sounds like every other douche-bag hipster parent that wants their kindergartener to be the coolest kid at story time...

Fair enough... I wasn't thinking of DARE... It's a great program... Just poorly marketed...
It's worked for years with every other product...

Do a lot of tracking of everything a person does and only come clean when someone calls 'em out...
I hope this "hacker" is anonymous... Otherwise he's headed for a jail cell...
It used to be okay to point out when your government was being shady...
Not anymore!!
Yay!
Welcome to 1984!
Dude, how 'bout you get off your horse and tell us what exactly "reads living tissue under the skin" means...
You've responded with this exact phrase so many times now that you MUST be an Apple shill...
Jesus...
Not even once have you linked to any source or explained, even in layman's terms, what exactly this means...
I smell a fanboy...
I don't hate Apple, I hate ignorant loudmouths...
Citation?

Groklaw has been an excellent source for legal information. PJ has always done an excellent job.
This is another marker on that downhill race to revolution. I just hope it's not as bloody as the last one.
I've seen this type of lighting system before on old ships (USS Constitution, etc...).
Instead of a water they used glass blocks (or similar).
But, it's great to see a novel way of recycling trash into something beneficial! :)
Cheers!
Sorry, couldn't help it... :)
Neat... ...would be terrible if this fungi network were to cross colonize with the fungus that makes zombie ants...
Cheers!
That's the nut of it... I call bullshit.
Wow...
Would you steal a stereo? Would you steal a purse? Well, if you jailbreak your iPhone, you may as well!
Jailbreaking your iPhone prohibits Apple from protecting the safety of your loved ones. Think of the children.
TERRORISTS!!
Shenanigans!!
Anything to convince law-makers that having control over your own devices is evil.
Bah!
Locked UEFI.
So, no.
Your best bet would be an official app from VMware or the like to allow for another OS to be installed as a VM...
Even then, that VM will have limited HW access...
HAHAHA! Case in point, it's spelled latter...not later.
Standing before the steam roller....
"Stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop".... .... "Stooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop"....
I understand, we need time to correct the issue, but...c'mon?!
Slow news day?
