Google tries to find the original source and penalizes any copycats. Stackoverflow screwed up by not addressing that their information can't be used outside their website unless it's within a specified quoting guideline.
Yeah it seems to be BS because the target source says "it wasn't qwest but another anonymous group". Sounds to me that they got threatened by Qwest for this joke.
Maybe helium-3 will work, but we won't know until we play lunar mooncraft and build giant mudkips and winged-dang-doodles out of h3 cubes. That's the only way to be sure. Just be careful of the monsters on the dark side of the moon.
Exactly. (guess i'm the only one who got the joke) I hacked my razr v3 back in the day with a magnet. touch the phone at a certain spot and bypass the password entirely.
I feel like it's been a very long time since I've watched a TV show from NBC. Then again, I don't really watch TV so it's not really something I care much about. If I were to comment about the concept of this whole ordeal I'll just say that Comcast can do whatever they feel like and if people really don't like what they're doing, they can go to AT&T or whoever. I know it wouldn't be exciting to go through with this but in the end it's the people who make the decision in the end. Who are they buying products from, who are they voting for, etc etc etc... Corporations don't become large because they magically have money. People love a company and support them by investing into it, and in this case 27mil do every month. Comcast still has to grant access to NBC shows both to their competitors and online so it's not all bad for those who do enjoy NBC programming.
In Japan, there are vending machines that scans facial bone structure to verify if you're of age or not to buy beer and such. I just hope that they don't implement these new suggestive vending machines for used panties. "YOU SIR, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU MIGHT WANT A GOOD PAIR OF USED PANTIES... *scanning* LOLICON 3,000Yen plz
You'd be surprised, this is America, and no one gives a f--k! I hope they use my latest picture and not that one picture when i was coming out of a car wearing a kilt. Seriously, I have enough problems removing my info from dozens of "know this person" spam sites, I don't want to have to deal with dating ones. Not to mention this is bad press for people who are married or dating and a site says that you're single with recent information and images.
You know the office storage basement?....Well, there's a computer already setup there, and it would be a shame if we had to occupy that computer, because of course, it's running Windows ME and it doesn't even have solitaire or access to HSI. In fact, it's connected to a phone jack. You don't HAVE to use your computer, BUT I'm sure you can see where I'm getting at here Milton.
I think letting people bring their own computer is OK if they pass benchmark tests and they are working for a blog site or something. I can't imagine a fortune company allowing their employees to use their own computers, or rather even mandate it. There are too many security flaws, loopholes, and legal reprocautions to both parties to allow this kind of thing to happen. It would be a bad business decision even to -let- someone use their personal computer unless there's an emergency and the employee can be absolutely trusted. Though, in the world of business, even your CIO can be the most crooked person in the world and you think otherwise. Oh business politics, have you no end?
If I remember the story correctly, he correctly guessed 3 security questions that were on her wiki page. Like "Where were you born?" "Name of your first daughter" etc... I take offense that such an act is considered "hacking" in the eyes of the public. This term sure has devolved since phone jacking decades ago.
I remember before Google, Snap.com was the single best search engine of its time but very few remember it. That's because a media company (I forget if it was ABC or whatever) decided to buy it and commercialize it to death while promoting specific queries first and not the most relevant. It was fast and it was nearly instant for dial-up connections. Of course, it died soon after it got purchased and maimed but it was a great alternative to Yahoo, Lycos/Altavista, HotBot, Dogpile etc...
I like how Google indexes my site, it does it well and it does it almost instantaneously when there are updates where-as Yahoo! and Bing both take an eternity, even WITH webmaster tools setup. Perhaps it's because my site is at an early stage of development / release and they rank sites entirely differently but if a startup website can attain almost #1 results in whatever is on the website, then I would assume that there is a problem here. In fact there is... The amount of garbage websites that you have to filter through to get your question answered these days on the big G is remarkable. I WISH there was a way you can block a website from showing up in your search results because there's always that one website that repeats itself in a single search result.
Thank you /. for sticking that song...

Thank you/. for sticking "in the navy" in my head. It also somehow has a YMCA blend to it too. Say, wasn't Google at one time at least helping NASA develop rockets?
LMAO, I JUST watched "Taco Bell Turns Green" on the Onion and the tacos would clean the air and reduce carbon emissions as you're eating. I think this is a neat idea if it prevents the girl's farts from smelling because I think we can all agree here that girl's farts and bathroom breaks are worse then men. (in b4 negative points by female mods)
Unfortunately this doesn't include Android or WP7 users, which is a strange arrangement to allow only iphones / ipads to access unlimited data. I will admit that Verizon's reliability is five star quality and their customer service is unlike their competitors, however I would gladly take less of each and put it towards affordability. Verizon as of late has been doing some shady business moves and I'm not liking it one bit. When I called them yesterday about their unlimited data package, they said they only had 10gb for $80 and I had no idea how they were selling their products with that. As long as people pay their premium price, they will continue charging it at that rate.
The sad part is that you're correct on that =/ Anyway, I can't decide whether or not it's a good thing or not that they are placing more budget towards technological improvements and grants lately but I'll assume that government intervention in the public sector is bad til proven otherwise;)
An electrician once told me that California pretends to be green but in reality they export a lot of energy from out of state. But relating back to the article I think whoever passed that bill needs to wear a tinfoil hat.
Touchscreens are for a different use and will never be used to replace the keyboard. What will eventually replace the keyboard on a daily basis (but not entirely) will be brain interactions with the computer. This may take another 20-years before we get pretty good at it but it's happening and it's been over 10-years since the first person controlling a mouse on a screen has been created. Maybe one day it'll be similar to ghost in the shell, but bringing it back to my original point, touchscreens cannot be more practical than physical keyboards and thus will never replace them.
You hit that spot-on. The general public see things from movies from 20 years ago saying that in the year 2010 we would have this and that and expect those prophecies to be fulfilled. You also get those who see things in movies or on TV like CSI where you can just 'enhance' to a godly resolution and people just don't care about these kinds of advancements. When I was learning about internet frameworks such as "web 2.0 - 4.0" one of the things mentioned was that there will be hurdles to overcome and the advancements between now and the internet 40 years from now will be substantial. Even today there is a lot of advancements such as HTML5 but the public doesn't care about that because they don't see HTML5, they see the result of it. They don't know what a CMS is and just how much work is put into them, they just see a web-page as a result and don't care what powers it. Unfortunately, this leads to people believing that there is no advancements being made on websites and in this case robots because they see ASIMO talking from a script and think that it can think on its own (although they have been recently developing self-thought with ASIMO). I hope that this Jeopardy thing will go well and people can understand just how bit of a feat this is.
I think they need to introduce two types of digital magazines. The free kind which sells basic information about you to get relevant advertisements. If you want to value your privacy even though this kind of privacy doesn't really matter and people tend to just scale things up anyhow, you can pay full-price for the digital magazine which wouldn't have any ads. Of course there could be a Type-C which would be for those who don't want to share their private info and pay less, which would be the default advert assumed in your region for half the cost of the mag. These possibilities were thought up on the spot and I'm sure someone can come up with a better plan easily. Privacy concerns are overrated when it comes to most stuff online. It becomes a concern when they start telling the feds what you've been up to or tell your friends what you've been searching;)
