You don't see it in the articles because that would not support the agenda of the Guardian and schnews. Why be fair, balanced, and truthful when you can be biased, one-sided, withhold information and lie and make more money?
I will call this a non-story And, yes, I will call schnews a bunch of conspiracy theorists, just like you. But, more likely, they are a bunch of muck-rakers trying to create a story where there is none. Because, as we all know, we can trust criminals and terrorists to tell the truth, right? They have no reason to lie. And, everyone in prison is innocent, just ask them.
Ah, so these people, these women are so pathetic, incompetent, so easily manipulated that they can not make decisions on their own, right? OK. So, they should be kept locked up and chaperoned at all times. And, just to be safe, premarital sex should be outlawed. And, women should not be allowed to associate with men who are not relatives. You can set up a group of religious men to go around with sticks and beat unrelated men and women who are together without a chaperon!
You and your ilk are pathetic, self-righteous, cowardly prigs.
If the female protesters are willing, why not? This isn't even a tempest in a teacup.
Or, is Slashdot, the Guardian, and the submitter suggesting that women are incapable of making decisions about with whom to have sex and that pre-marital sex should be made illegal?
Or, are you suggesting that a woman who willingly engages in sex with a man should be able to retroactively claim rape when she finds out he is not the man she thought he was? I guess we should start arresting every man who has ever cheated on a woman and was found out; or who ever had sex with a woman and then never called her again; or who ever had a drunken one night stand.
And, I am sure no protesters have ever had sex to gain information or access to an area, too, right?
The Guardian, a liberal newspaper that supports the idea that female protesters are incompetent, stupid and should be chaperoned. And, Slashdot, samzenpus, and the submitter supporting the idea. What a lovely bunch of hypocrites.
No, dumbass, They were protecting their trade marks, World of Warcraft and Starcraft. If one does not defend one's trademark, one loses exclusive use of the trademark. Don't believe me? Try asking any of the companies that have lost trademarks Kleenex about it.
It is interesting to me that Carla shows all the arrogance, cockiness, self-righteousness, and dismissiveness that is mentioned in the article. She defends most of those mentioned in the CW article, with the sole exception of "Sally" with whom she wistfully sympathizes to the point of sounding regretful.
No wonder she doesn't like the first article. She is the exact same kind of person who does the things mentioned in the first article.
An even more apt analogy would be someone hacking into the computer of your car and and reprogramming the stability and anti-lock brakes and causing a wreck.
Your analogy fails because of the proprietary code included in the closed source versions. The correct analogy is the difference between an 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass and a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442. See, there is an actual difference: the proprietary code. Just like the difference between a straight Cutlass and a 442 is the carbs, exhaust, and transmission
There are NVidia open source drivers and they work about as well as the ATI/AMD open source drivers. It is the closed source NVidia drivers developed by NVidia that work better than either of the open source drivers.
the whole area of graphics driver development is fairly specialized and complicated
and very few people can afford to spend the time and effort to do it without being paid for it.
Take none other than Corbin Simpson. He is a "college student from Eugene, Oregon. He is currently studying computer science at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon." As a student studying computer science, he has plenty of time to work on graphics drivers. Someone like myself, who works a 40+ hour week at an actual IT job, plus spending time keeping up my skill set, doesn't want to spend hours working in front of computer "for fun" after having spent eight hours doing so at work and having done the household chores when I could be doing things like playing with my dog, going to the gym, hiking, swimming,or going to the beach and looking at the attractive young women in bikinis.
The reason there are too few of them is that no one is going to pay them to work on graphics drivers. Contrary to popular slashdot belief places to live, food, and even Mountain Dew are not free.
Bronk, who lives in the Sacramento suburb of Citrus Heights, pleaded guilty Thursday to seven felonies in Sacramento County Superior Court, including computer intrusion, false impersonation and possession of child pornography.
Prosecutors are seeking a six-year prison term when Bronk returns for a sentencing evaluation March 10.
Apparently, the defense agreed to plead guilty to seven of the charges in return for the prosecution asking only for six years. Happens all the time.
Kernell decided to fight the charges and lost so he got whatever the judge felt like giving him. Who knows what, if any, deal he may have been offered, but if he was offered one, he turned it down.
Hi, my name is Chris Hansen. Why don't you have a seat right over there between the two law enforcement officers?
Now, why do you want to see the pictures that got this person arrested for child pornography? Do you enjoy looking at child pornography? You do know that child pornography is against the law, don't you?
Surely a bastion of high quality, unbiased technology information such as IT World doesn't need YOU to tell them they are vulnerable to such an old attack. Why, they would have to be unprofessional and ignorant to fall victim to an attack that has been around for years.
To me, this looks like some reporters decided on a conclusion ( "The U.S. and Israel did it!") and then went and dug up a bunch of information that kind of supports their conclusion but doesn't actually prove it but didn't examine any other possible ideas, then published it as "We can't prove it but this is exactly what happened, honestly, it the truth!"
Your solution is something that can easily be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, once gone, can not be easily, if ever, recovered? Oh, and if it is branded by Facebook, why would it be guaranteed to work with other services, especially those that compete with Facebook?
Or, do you suggest we carry a keyring, with one USB key for each site?
While we are at it, how will this authentication system work? Will a plugin for each browser have to be developed and distributed? What about locked down platforms? What about non-browser applications? What about smartphones?
This is why one should not "friend" random people Facebook, etc. It is called "friending" someone for a reason, and a total stranger you have never heard of, have never met, and who lives in another state is not your friend.
As an American who was taught politics in American schools, then went and learned more on politics from books, I can answer an unqualified "Yes, there is a deficiency in how politics is taught in America"

None of the people mentioned in the summary are sole owners and sole shareholders of the companies for which they work.
Soulskill and theop should stop sucking each other off long enough to grow some brains and learn the difference between the two situations.
Kleenex has spent millions of dollars KEEPING their trademark by suing people trying to use their trademark.
As it is, part of my post is missing, the line should read "Try asking any of the companies that have lost trademarks or Xerox or Kleenex about it. "
No, dumbass, They were protecting their trade marks, World of Warcraft and Starcraft. If one does not defend one's trademark, one loses exclusive use of the trademark. Don't believe me? Try asking any of the companies that have lost trademarks Kleenex about it.
Now, STFU about shit you are ignorant about.
Exactly what is an "open-source economics development model"?
CO + 2O2 -> CO2 + O3
So, we end up with ground level ozone and CO2. Yay.

How about "close the source and add in all the proprietary code we can't put in now"? Oh, I guess you forgot about that.
Then there should be no difference in performance between closed source and open source drivers. But, there is a difference, so you are wrong. QED.
Logic fail: False premise.
There are NVidia open source drivers and they work about as well as the ATI/AMD open source drivers. It is the closed source NVidia drivers developed by NVidia that work better than either of the open source drivers.

Oh, yeah, I can relate. I can see the U.S dollar going the way of the Zimbabwe dollar.
I have thought about put silver bullion into my (Roth) IRA. At least that has intrinsic value and its value will appreciate as the dollar falls.
Gravel?!? Think of the living, breathing bacteria on that gravel! Think of the BACTERIA!!
