are you kidding? have you ever tried to print a page of text in A4 Landscape and actually read it? Movies and Reading are different... Narrow columns are more natural for our eyes. That's why there are no books in widescreen.
Just lose the landscape mode, and go with all narrowscreen, like word etc.
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no.. then put a lien on the house and sue his insurance company..
I am suprised the insurance company doesnt make it mandatory to have this service paid up to date...
...but, didnt you pay for the DVR (atleast the hardware running it)... so you did pay SOMETHING to skip the commercials... in my day we hit the mute button, and waited 3 mintues for the A-Team to come back on... sometimes, we took a leak
naive? I never said we can stop anything... I'm saying the opposite... with every faulter we put controls in place and hope it doesnt happen more.. In the case of banks, IRS, healthcare there are regulations and laws to protect the individual whos data is there.. when those regulations fail, and a perpetrator is caught they are dealt with.. and since its a law its a matter of public record... not "he was let go quietly"... what the headline does by including the name of the company is make it a matter of public record... and that is what is important... I trust my internet communications exactly the same as i trusted them before... the saem as I trust the waiter with my credit card, and the hospital with my son... hope isnt a factor, I watch and react... that is all we can do... if it were my son this creeper was harassing, i wouldnt have contacted google, i would have contacted federal authorities and my lawyer... and I would have directed all his friends parents to do the same...
just so were on the same page... what the hell are you talking about? You feel we should completely drop all reasonable expectation of privacy because the potential exists for people to infringe on that? Should we use the same logic of all rights/laws? You see no problem with this guys behaviour, or no problem with Googles internal controls? Well if it wasnt going to be this guy, it was gonna be someone else.. so f*ck it.. its cool... Hell, open it up so there is no expectation of privacy at all... the NSA doesn't need a warrant to listen in, why should we... I should be able to 'google' everyones conversations... besides, the issue in this story is not THAT someone looked.. its the actions they took to unblock themselves even after the users (customer) took steps to block them... but you see no problem with that right?
I never said there were places it wasnt happening... and I do beleive it is happening everywhere... all more reason to expose it as often as we can... big Corporation with lots of money != safe and secure, no matter what controls (if any) are put in to place... all the more reason to use the companies name in the headline.. So customers and shareholders alike know... and can put pressure on the company to be more vigilant..
So the title should have been "Employee from a Mountain View based search engine caught spying on teenagers communications" would be better?.. Fact is he worked for google, seeing as how they have a lot of employees and this showcases the lack of control, in terms of securing private and personal information. Google IS the story here... sorry if you love them so much that you hate to see their name tainted... but this to me, is perfectly legit as a headline... I place this along with "AT&T breach puts customers SIN numbers in danger"... The company is the story, not the goomba creepy employee... Googles customers, share-holders, haters and fan-bois alike all have a vested interest in it... So not using their name in the headline would be a disservice... If it was my ISP doing it, I would hope the headline would be "Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net employee caught jerkin' off to Combatso's posts on slashdot"... so that the story would stand out to me, as a customer... frankly... with internet news "IT person caught looking at data" would get lost in the shuffle.. as I am sure there are lots of cases... so I will reiterate.. GOOGLE IS THE STORY!
Yah.. this is precisely why surveys don't work.. they are, only a mareketing tool.... "Should we let children play games where they are exposed to dirty sex and gang rape without parental consent?"... Im suprised the results arent 100%
so you think they should have left out Googles name? I for one will think twice about how private any emails / chats sent through google really are. Without getting in to a 'think of the children' rant here... the real story is this guy was spying on teenagers conversations, chatting with them... and actually unblocked himself... if one rogue employee at google can do this, than many more can... and I stand by theory that anything than can happen, will happen... So yeah... the company name belongs here..
There are lots of feeds to find, if the dish has a motor.. You may need to get some different LNB;s the polorization of the antenna will determine what you can find... There are many many many lists available.. but for the most part, it will be lame... however, if you subscrive to Dish Network (or Bell ExpressVu if you are north of the border) and the mesh of the dish is less than 1/4" you can mount a Dish500 LNB on it and use it to get 100% signal from the Echostar (or nimiq) birds... even during a huge rainstorm or snowstorm
I live in the disctrict (simcoe county), central ontario... ofcourse, I think its nonsense.. They have sent out a mailer (this parent group) that is the most fear-pandering piece of garbage I have ever read. Complete with a 'sick kid' on the cover.. all about how our schools are unsafe for kids.. because of a wifi router in the classroom... I do have a son, he is in an infant tho, so not in school, so I can understand how this fear-mongering would really get to a less-tech-savvy parent. I got the mailer months ago, and heard nothing about it... then today I hear about it on local radio... and now see it on slashdot... I fear now that the media has grabbed hold of it, we are going to set a dangerous precedent where we blame all our scholastic problems on technology... rather than looking for the real cause of any illness (if it exists)...
you really think it is an important question? You don't think it has been answered over and over and over again.. Many people, nerd and geeks included, even those 'informed' buyers have compared competitors devices and like the Apple product. If YOU don't, that is fine... move on.. Or maybe start a blog about how much you hate Apple... I dunno, or keep trolling slashdot... Actually, I take it all back, keep trolling Slashdot, it's easier to ignore you here. Lest you be 'that guy' who hangs out at the big box stores spouting your opinion to anyone who will listen.
AH HA!! What an original point! Mod parent UP! Slashdot should just have a script that writes comments like this when it sees 'Apple' or 'Jailbreak' in the summary.. actually, this comment usually shows up in every thread on every article... Maybe it should be subtext on every summary..
You need to talk to more people then. This isn't 1995, 'people' know about OS's now. Vista saw to it that general users stop ignoring the Operating System..

They are both examples of Pretentious knobii

Don't want to play by those rules, then don't. That simple.
Seems to me they didn't want to play by those rules, and didn't.

A planet with no crime and no wars? Give them religion and see how long that lasts
Well.. I'm gonna head over to Dana's apartment and check her out.... check IT out.

exactly right, let the market decide.... shit, they already did, and the market likes the iPhone/pod/pad... oh well... what else ya got?
Have you ever talked to people who have money?
Do you answer questions with questions often?
i'm the prick?
yes, yes you are.

I remember that episode where Data had to Jailbreak the PADD so Riker could access the homeworld computer system of Adobe-10
