sweet! Perfect for reading slashdot discussions in this IT color scheme! It's hilarious that a slashdot summary in this section is complaining about color schemes on other pages... glass houses and all
My Nissan can do the same. Even better, I can go really fast and get the same mileage! Oh did I mention this only works when the car is traveling straight down from very high up, like when I drop it from an airplane.
This is exactly why Basil Marceaux has been running for governor of Tennessee, so he can stop "slavery at traffic stops." Always wondered what he meant by that.
If Facebook explicitly connects the threat to republish embarrassing pictures with a demand for money, you can bet your ass they will run afoul of blackmail laws whether or not they own the photos or the legal rights to republish them.
Or, just simply to say that the US military is the wrong tool for that job, and that someone like Greg Mortenson is far better suited to the effort than George Bush.
They didn't pass a law "making it legal." They clarified a series of exemptions to existing law. Existing law, i.e. the DMCA, already made circumvention illegal. That law was the one that took away your right to modify your phone or whatever. So this is definitely an improvement. Save the tinfoil for the next DMCA.
Who gives a shit if they're British, American, or what. They are criminals who have caused irreparable damage to the environment. The company should be seized and every penny of their assets should be headed toward cleaning up the mess they made and creating the necessary conditions to make sure it never happens again. Anyone involved in the decision-making who wants to stay out of prison ought to be working fulltime for those goals. It's pathetic that we're treating this like a minor understandable mistake. They punched a fucking hole in the gulf and it took them months to even start sealing it. What are we doing in response? Letting them punch another one in the arctic.
I'm not sure why the above is considered trollish, though the tone might be snippy. It's true that US policymakers didn't shut down the blog themselves, but what are you supposed to think if you're a website owner and you get a letter from FBI advising you that material on your website threatens American lives and that you "may voluntarily elect to shut down the sites of customers involved in these kinds of situations." If anything the feds should be doing the opposite -- advise the blog owner to keep open a potentially useful source of information so it could be watched. The guys who want to blow things up are going to find a way to connect with each other and find whatever info they need to build bombs elsewhere; the question is whether they do it with or without their enemies watching.
It's not going to take any better pictures than any other camera using that lens. The advantage here is being able to view and edit the photos on the fly using the iphone screen and editing tools. Which is pretty cool, I guess -- personally I'd rather have an actual DSLR (which this is technically not) connected to an iPad so I can see the photos on a big screen and edit at will. But still a cool hack nonetheless.
Seriously, this isn't about whether big or small corporations are good or bad in the abstract. This is about a massive crime committed by a specific corporation who will by and large escape responsibility for their actions. If an individual made a mess like this they'd be in jail and they'd be disallowed from profiting even indirectly from their crimes. Limited liability means this will never happen here but I don't see why not. This is a huge ecological and economic disaster. If we had any sense we'd seize all of the company's assets in the Gulf and use those assets to deal with the disaster they caused. Any of the execs who wants to stay out of jail can do so by working full time to clean up the mess. Call me a fucking socialist if it makes you feel better but as far as I'm concerned this is exactly the kind of thing that we have eminent domain powers for. Don't like it? Don't drill holes in our ocean floor. I'm glad they're finally capping it after months of spewing oil into the gulf, but there's no reason it should have taken this long.
The scientific name of the platypus literally means "bill of a duck," fwiw. In any case, maybe you can find a duck billed platypus swimming in the wine dark sea?
Oh, chill out, man. I think this is pretty damn cool; it's a great way for these scientists to ice their place in history. Things have been moving at a glacial pace in the field until now; I bet this will send shivers down the spines of some of their peers. These scientists are sure to drink a few frosty ones to celebrate before running home to make love to their frigid spouses!
I can't wait to see the ads for this. "Now you can have all the repetitive stress injury of using a regular mouse, without all of that annoying tangible feedback!"

Go easy on him. He's using Ubuntu. He hasn't learned about Slackware yet.
as opposed to the ordinary nanobubbles that you normally come across when you're straining your graphene

There is no explicit connection.
Then there is no "extortion," legal or otherwise, and no need for tinfoil.
News at eleven.
I've got plans tonight and won't be home to catch the news at 11. Can someone upload a torrent for me?

You misspelled "Chuck Norris"
you're holding it wrong

AFAIK, it's completely legal, and already impossible to stop, they own the data and you (or someone you know) voluntarily published it once.
It's too bad there aren't laws against blackmail and extortion.

Apple should pull a Slackware and move right to iPhone 7.
5. Some unrelated but big announcement to redirect attention (iPhone on Verizon, it will now come in green, etc.)
There's a green iPhone? Where do I get one!!!
He was probably trying to make a snide comment about the topic of this article with such blatant misuse of homophones.

"SETI Institute Is Looking For a Few Good Algorithms"
You misspelled "Aliens"
Tubular? Nah, it'll probably be flat just like the iPad.
