the rush of the lemmings is all done by rich, well-connected investors this time around, a select few, rather than mom and pop investors like last time around.
Good, why should people be betting their retirement on Facebook?
It's one thing to express yourself. He has every right to do so. It's quite another to pull innocent children into it and make them a part of your expression as though they were complicit.
Anyone who must use the phrase "innocent children" has no argument. And you sir, have none.
It matters that audiences were being led to believe they were part of the performance.
Big. Fucking. Deal.
That is the most moronic reasoning I have ever seen. I don't care if that is what the law states, it is obscene. Aren't we supposed to be "saving the children" here, not "saving the people who think children are not being saved"?
A really big fuck you to anyone who thinks he should be in jail for this. Think about this from the perspective if you did this yourself. You really think you should go to JAIL for making a video with children from a classroom randomly inserted into it?
Yeah, I'm angry here. What kind of justice is this.
Simple: Delete stuff.... More ebooks than you can possibly read?
Yeah I agree. I tried to shut down the local library by arguing there were more books than I could possibly ever read and it was a waste of space. That didn't go over so well.
You do realize that your kids are supposed to be learning, right?
So, while "copying" or "looking off someone's work" is "using available resources" in the business world, in the context of school it also completely defeats the purpose of an assignment when the child is supposed to do the work in order to learn.
In the business world, let's say a company can copy/look at someone's new product and create a replica that they can offer cheaper (assuming no copyrights/patents are broke bla bla legal stuff). That's great, and the company does not care one bit about the learning process to come up with the idea, and that's fine. But your students are supposed to be doing assignments in order to learn (gasp, shock); the end result is not usually the point.
"Cheating - asking a friend for an answer, Business - Collaboration. This person is a team player." Same thing as copying, that's not collaboration. Your student has learned nothing.
"One of the problems is that it is not illegal for someone to smuggle a cell phone into a state prison"
Making it illegal will add time to people's jail time. That means something to most prisoners. Since it's not illegal at all right now (which is surprising..), then there's no reason for them NOT to try smuggling.
1) Wikileaks mirror Why should that be Google's job? There are plenty of web hosting companies far more capable than Google for web hosting.
2) Google checkout for donations Ever hear of Paypal? That would be Paypal's job.
3) This new process of setting up a number to dial into and it being stored easily Seems like that perfect for what SayNow does, which Google now owns. And then they partner up with Twitter to make it easily available, since that is what Twitter does.
Looks to me like Google/Twitter used their resources when that was what they are specialized in.
You should be modded "Angry at the wrong people", not Insightful.
1) Who says you have to subscribe and pay money for the feature? Looks free to me. 2) What about the time where you are out and about and randomly decide to go to your friends and want your most recent saved game? Whoops, you have to go back home and update that saved game first. 3) If you PS3 explodes, hard drive dies, cat decides he would like to destroy it in some devious fashion, your saved game is also saved online.
They don't shown porn related stuff on the instant / suggestion, but you can still search for it (believe me, you can).
So now they don't come up with torrents and stuff automatically, but you can still search for it if you want. I can see the logic, if someone was innocently searching for like "How I Met Your Mother" to see some info about it, and the first thing that comes up is an automatic link to "How I Met Your Mother Season 1 Torrent". Doesn't that kinda make Google not as innocent any more as opposed to someone specifically searching for that torrent? In this case you would have someone residentially finding out about and acquiring the torrent via Google alone.
I know that is stretching and I'm taking this logic with a grain of salt.. because of course they aren't intentionally putting torrents on top, it's just the algorithm maybe choosing it. But still, food for thought..
Anyway, I'm OK with this kind of automatic filtering.
We need to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world
Can't we just try to work with the rest of the world to try to make things better for everyone? I don't care if America is #1 in x y or z if the world as a whole is not advancing.
adding that data retention is crucial to fighting Internet crimes (PDF), especially online child pornography.
Sorry, but what is this obsession with child pornography? I don't care that someone is looking at it. Sure I care that someone took the pictures / did whatever, but so what if people are looking at it. You can call them sick or whatever you want, but there is a huge difference between some perverse fantasy and acting on it. Have you been arrested for the random dream of killing your boss? I don't think so.
On this subject, is there anything else that is illegal to simply have possession of that can absolutely do no harm just by itself?
this is a cash grab by the entertainment industry to obsolete and sell-up a bunch of equipment before even the promoters wise up and start looking for the soft-OFF selection in the setup menu.
Blah blah blah, if you don't want to see 3D films, then don't. You don't need to come here with your almighty "oh the entertainment industry is just trying to make more money, that's all!". You don't think there are many artists in that industry that truly want to use 3D technology to tell amazing stories with the help of visuals?
I'm betting most of the people on their high horse here have never even SEEN a new 3d movie. I know I know, you are all too cool to go to a theatre and put on dorky glasses. Wait this is slashdot, no you aren't.
I have only seen Avatar, and I have to say it was quite the experience. I thought the movie itself was OK, nothing special but a good action flick. The visuals were stunning and really brought the movie alive.

As a parent you are NOT the babysitter and you are NOT their friend.
Sorry to hear you don't consider your child a friend.

So no, your joke was not funny.
I think the guy that created the solar death ray has aimed it at "applications" and "app" is all that remains.
That's all I've learned on slashdot today.
Then you made either a mistake or a lame joke.

For the reporter to ask: "What's your autistic 11 year old doing spending all his time playing Mature rated games that revolve around killing people?"
Oh my gosh, shooting virtual people, the horror!

Microsoft owes you details about some kid who cheated on xbox live?
Is twitter now a reliable source?
(years ago in the galaxy far far away) Is the internet now a reliable source?
Your argument is compelling.
After all big corporations never lie, right ?

See, I can do it too.
