Personally I think they should have just let the units melt into the bottom of the containment vessel, far less radiation would have been released and unless the operators think they know more than the engineers that designed the containment vessel...
Since it's very likely Unit 2's containment vessel is cracked/damaged, that would probably be a really bad idea...
I just installed 10.10 on a 2008 MBP and didn't have any issues with Airport. Last I checked there are workarounds for 2009 and 2010 models. Haven't seen anything yet on the new Sandy Bridge MBPs.
I know - it's not often I can work a stripper joke into a/. post. I'll be here all week!
The Porn Industry Won't Go For It

And for one simple reason: if every porn site on the planet has the same domain, every ISP/college/corporation/consumer router who doesn't want their clients/students/employees/family members viewing this material will just block it. Heck, as soon as I get to work on Monday, I'm going to update our firewall and IPS settings. No sane operation trying to make money on pornography is going to touch this domain with a 10ft [stripper] pole.
Not sure how trying to build a better product in an area MS has had enormous success in constitutes sticking "their noses where it doesn't belong". Besides, the existence of MS's shitty browser (along with the shittiness of our old friend Netscape) was one of the catalysts for the development of Firefox in the first place. Competition is a good thing.
The HotHardware article touts the social media aspect and the ability to share, but honestly, out of the dozen or so friends/coworkers I know that use the service (no one I know has the Box), not a single one even bothers with those features. Is my circle just off-base, or is it really as pointless as I suspect?
I've been waiting for a good low-power CPU to come along that'll play 1080p and fit in an ITX rig, and it looks like this could be the one. It'll be nice to run Boxee on a computer that actually fits in my TV cabinet.
It wasn't an official release, but man, it was great fun. I used to play that and Tetris in class all the time...instead of paying attention. Good times.
This is about two years too late, Sony. And while you were busy trying to pedal the Go, your chief competitor was putting tens of millions of their units in consumers' hands and building an impressive library of inexpensive games.
Oh, just got a phone call on my iPhone. Nokia and Palm want to know if you're free tonight.
Version 6 will inlcude a monkey butler and your own fucking jetpack!
Meanwhile, we're still all still running 3.x and it's about as vulnerable as IE. How about just getting a final, secure version 4 to market?
It might be a bass-ackward system, but manufacturers who are making money hand-over-fist selling real estate on their hard drive subsidize my income. Incidentally, if anyone doesn't want their new PC saddled with bloatware, I'd be happy to re-image it with the (legit) OS of your choice for a nominal fee.
Yep, because if there's anything a totalitarian regime fronting a puppet representitive government needs, it's a more efficient way to handle the bloat entailed in trampling the rights/privacy of its populace.
Just because you can fit more users on a blade doesn't mean it doesn't cost just as much (or more) to develop new content. I mean, have you seen the amount of money developers spend on a non-MMORPG lately? Millions.
Eh, different people enjoy games differently. I used to play CoH long ago, but quit after I kept getting into XP debt up to my eyeballs that I finally said, "I'm paying for this?" Now if I'd had the opportunity to pay $5-10 for debt forgiveness, or some item that made the work of getting out of debt more fun/less time consuming than fighting henchman after henchman, I might have considered keeping my subscription.
That's pretty much what Valve did with Team Fortress 2 - the product has been on sale so many times (via Steam) that they sold it just about everyone that owns a Steam account, then created the in-game store for players to buy items. Valve makes money, players get more options,and indie developers see a percentage of their custom creations. Play as you want, pay as you wish.

Who needs Xeons and i7's to run servers when everyone has a super-powerful smartphone now?
Oh, wait...
"The Bible guarantees it!"

Hypocrisy in government policy or not, I seriously doubt we'd be debating this issue if we were all members of slashdot.cn. Just sayin'.
Pfft. Why would you ever use a virtual machine for security when you make the FINEST security products in the world?
There are how-tos for just about every flavor of MBP out there - I used this as a reference during my install:

And stop whining. The MBP can run Ubuntu natively (very well too).
You're funny.

This is neither news for nerds nor anything that matters.

I was playing Wolf 3D at 11, killing nazis and dogs, you insensitive clod.
Which might very well be the reason you became a /. troll when you grew up.
They need to build a bypass. It's gotta be built, and it's gonna be built.

...I bet most of those ex-employees will be complaining about it on Facebook this evening.
