Of Course the passwords will be simple, Most people setup their accounts on the system with the controller. They just wanted to get past the screens to play with their new system so they wanted something really simple that they could forget. If they ever needed to actually get in they could just reset it in theory. They could of used a strong password but we know people dont do that.
I assume if your using 2 factor authentication it prevents you from an attack like this, because the attacker does not have your 2nd factor only your password?
Not exactly You have to use the spacers in a case so you don't ground out the board on the case. If you don't do this the PC will not power on, its a common first time builder mistake. You ground the PC with the power supply and its connection to the wall.
Simple concept yes, but simple to scale? no, simple to manage adding new features? no simple to manage adding 100M new accounts a year?, no Simple to do way over 50 million tweets a day? no
In January of this year they were doing 50M tweets a day, but they have added 100M users since then. Just think of how many they are doing now, so yes they need a CEO http://blog.twitter.com/2010/02/measuring-tweets.html Plus they have to figure out how to make money on all of this.
The Sony NEX-5 and NEX-3 and also 4/3s frame digital cameras are technically not DSLR's because they do not have mirrors but are larger than a point and shoot and have detachable lenses. Where do they fit in this silly ban? Also remember this is the country that wanted to ban the Blackberry and then backed down.
I am sorry but this is not a flaw in the game at all. Its a flaw in the maintenance of everyone's computer. When you play a game you have to assume it is taxing your computer and its getting hot. Any taxing game will do this to a computer that is as people have said does not have adequate airflow, overclocked to an extreme, or just dirty. It doesn't help that the game came out during the hottest part of the summer in many areas of the country.
This article is just a grab for eyeballs and clicks of ads, Slashdot is just helping this.
But running OpenDNS is the first step to correcting this problem. And with DD-WRT this can be fixed in the next update now that its a known problem, if you run the default Firmware of your router who knows when it will be fixed.
Just had to post that everyone should be running OpenDNS and if possible DD-WRT of Tomato (for homes). You just cant beat that combo. It's fast, secure, and offers tons of security/configuration features that no one else does.
With out an autofocus mechanism this idea is dead.
The problem with your sub $100 camera is the Canon 1D3n. This is a $7000 camera body that has had tons of problems with its auto focus. Something you definitely don't want to go on with your eyes.
hahaha Funny, Funny.
Seriously though, go look at some of your parents (or your own, if your old;) ) color photos from the 70's. The colors are off and have changed, and no that's not really how the 70's looked. The paper and the method used for your great grandparents photos were way different than the stuff used now or in the 70's.
I agree, sounds like a algorithm for mathmatica to me. If you are serious about this there are people on Flickr that run detailed mathematical image analysis that compare camera to camera, sensor to sensor, etc for things like noise and other properties. I would think one of them might be able to help you figure out how to do this best.
You do not want to use people for this process. Most people unless specially trained and actually care are bad at spotting key differences in photos.
These disks were not developed to store compressed copies of Hollywood's favorite movies they were designed for archival of data.
I can see lots of applications for this especially in photography. Think about all the photos that you have from your great great great grandparents. They were printed on paper and kept in a shoebox on a shelf for years. They have withstood 100 years easily. With the advent of digital photography people dont print their images as often now and the ones they do tend to fade. Instead they burn them to CD and DVD (If your lucky) These archives only last 10-15 years. This new disk will last so much longer.
The problem I see with the new disk is that you need a special burner to burn them. My only hope is that this will become a standard feature almost like litescribe and be included in most premium drives.
For now I will stick with good quality archival disks like MAM-A gold. They are a normal DVD and will last 100 years. At that time most of the photos will have no value to future generations and they can then be converted over to the current storage mediums and formats.
I think most of your points here are very good and correct except one. Tylenol (Acetaminophen/Paracetamol) is not a anti-inflammatory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol This is a common miss conception. Other common over the counter pain killers such as ibuprofen are actually anti-inflammatory.

There is no Android version! This is Slashdot after all, we like to have customization on our mobile devices, not just one man's way.

The fact that his dad is a Patent lawyer and founder of a patent company is quite important here.

hahahaha not falling for this one bud.
Thanks for the notice. I just logged in and upgraded mine. Now to do the other sites later tonight.
