Dice released their 4th quarter filing...and it does not cast Slashdot in a good light:
Slashdot Media was acquired to provide content and services that are important to technology professionals in their everyday work lives and to leverage that reach into the global technology community benefiting user engagement on the Dice.com site. The expected benefits have started to be realized at Dice.com. However, advertising revenue has declined over the past year and there is no improvement expected in the future financial performance of Slashdot Media's underlying advertising business. Therefore, $7.2 million of intangible assets and $6.3 million of goodwill related to Slashdot Media were reduced to zero.
Looks like running AdBlock on Slashdot and turning off ads may soon be the cause of their demise...
The representative for HB060 is Curt Webb from Logan UT. Seems odd as his area is not remotely close to UTOPIA or Google Fiber. Looks like someone someone found a disinterested politician who doesn't know any better to push this bill?
While what he did was breaking the law by revealing information he was sworn to protect...I figure give him a slap on the wrist. Call him guilty on all charges...and then give him 500 hours of community service and let him on his way. The NSA on the other hand...needs to be reigned in and the government needs to have better checks and balances. Where is our recourse when all 3 branches agree and engage in unconstitutional behavior?
That's not true. A WD TV Live box only needs to find the SMB shares on your network or any DLNA devices...and it will start compiling a media library for you. Bonus are the web apps for Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc.
I also have a WD TV Live box. I paired it with a NAS and a machine running Playon...and have all the content to keep the family happy. WD listens to their users too...(when I was active in their forums, they invited me into their beta program)...it's always improving.
I spy on you... You spy on me... We're a spying family... With a great wiretap and a dead drop from me to you... Why can't we just spy on everyone too?
Perhaps adding more fuel to the fire...but Senator Feinstein was also the one who shortly after Sandy Hook was attempting to disarm the populace as well. So her perfect world is an unarmed populace with 24/7 government surveillance. Did she sleep through US Heritage classes in college?
The problem is thinking the existing whistleblower mechanisms would work in this case. Had he reported this to IG, IG would have responded that the judicial (FISA) has signed off on it and Congress (Patriot Act) authorized it. It would have never reached the public and there is no oversight as all 3 branches were working together against the people's wishes. How about we do a referendum on this for the midterm elections next year? I am sure the House and a few Senators would love to be a ballot with this uncomfortable question next to them.
So it seems that Healthcare.gov's "data services hub" is all built with Oracle, using RHEL app servers? Other reports mentioning them bring in Amazon and Google people as well...I am guessing for the cloud scaleability part. Funny that some nontraditional private sector companies are getting the lucrative contracting gigs. Usually it goes to companies whose revenue is 90+ percent from the government.
Is it just that they have that little keyboard on there?
Which oddly enough my Motorola Android phone also has...except it is bigger and more practical as a slider. I am not sure what Blackberry has that is a "business feature" that you cannot get elsewhere. Or perhaps people don't know how to use MS Activesync over BES?
Not all of their commercial entities are known...and I am sure it wouldn't take much effort to clandestinely register some more corporations with office space.
This is because the US major news outlets are not covering the leaks much. Check out MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, or any major outlet...and nothing. The people only get outraged when their particular partisan talking head tells them to. I find the best coverage on the leaks is from the UK Guardian. Certainly not here in the US.
Slashdot Mirror
Interesting nickname attached to your comment. Foreshadowing perhaps...?
Should have at least asked for free shipping...
Not to nention that Sochi is characterised by poverty, separatism, terrorism and mass beach tourism
So when poor beach tourists start advocating a violent separation from Russia, we should be concerned?
Nice to know we as a community were worth 13.5 million as an intangible asset. However, now we are valued at 0...so we are now worthless to Dice.

You position the fans pointing upward, that keeps the machine firmly on the desk
Or would that create enough lift to hover above the desk? I like the idea of a floating desktop...
Wow, the Gobi desert looks eerily familiar to the Nevada desert...
So we finally get to find out where the breakroom is at Ft Meade? Perhaps we will get a map of the bathrooms? Perhaps the supplier of office supplies?
You can always ask Major Domo...
Now even those in space can order male enhancement drugs
I don't think Karen Nyberg would have much use for those...
when the HR filtering software doesn't see `ConsolePro2013++ Gold' on a candidate's resume.
Hmmm...and I am only experienced with ConsolePro2011++ Gold...time to upgrade the skillset...
So...um...we're writing articles about the submitters of articles now? Is this metanews?
I spy on you...
You spy on me...
We're a spying family...
With a great wiretap and a dead drop from me to you...

Don't worry, we Prime members would get the Cadillac plans...for an extra fee per year. Although 2 day shipping for meds sounds nice.

Exactly...both the NSA and CIA are well known to have several commercial front companies to cover their activities.
