I'm not against forcing all Americans to pay a little to fund nonprofit videogames. (After all, they get to force me to pay for other stuff I don't necessarily appreciate.)
24 hours? My email said it expires in 3. And it was sent at 1am. No joke.
(they sent another later about 40 mins ago) Also, I just tried clicking on my password reset link, and it sent me to a "server is down" page. =/ Oh well. Someone else (apparently japanese) signed up for an account with my email address and I was hoping to take it over and delete it with the password reset.
Sony doesn't necessarily "lose" if these forced changes can help them regain customers' confidence. Getting the OK from Japan could be a great boon to Sony, and a chance for them to say "hey look, we redid everything and now everything bad is all better!" (whether or not it actually is)
Better alternative: "Mom bought bumper stickers for both my car and Kevin's."
Or if you meant: "Mom bought bumper stickers for my and Kevin's car. (the car belongs to us both)"
Actually I'm not sure about that second one. Typical English speakers seem to say "me and Kevin's car".
Thank you. People often say that the music industry needs a new business model. I usually roll my eyes at that, but if their business model is "pay lawyers $64m to earn $2m", then I definitely agree they need to adopt a business model with fewer lawyers.
As streaming movies requires certain features and specifications
aka DRM? People are pointing at this as evidence of "fragmentation". Yes, android allows some phones to be *less* DRMed. Yes, Android allows you to have a smartphone that's not superpowered enough to run Netflix. Hey, some people don't want or need the Netflix app. I'll take this kind of "fragmentation" anyday over the One Holy Certified Applestolic iThing.

And heaven forbid you dare memorize any part of a book. Then you could produce partial oral copies at will! The chaos!!!
A confidential internal Apple document
Speaking of security...
Street View: Celebrity Edition!
This gives "forgot password" a whole new meaning. "Oops, now which password did I use for this site again? And with what rhythm did I type it?"
That's like the opposite of correlation != causation.

plover said to separate 3 things. You noted 2 that are separate; I noted 2 that are not.
With cybercrime now the second largest criminal activity in the world
Seriously? Way to use vague, scary words to say absolutely nothing.
better cooperation between international law enforcement agencies are needed if criminals are to be curtailed
Why do I get the feeling that large American and European corporations will be the ones to benefit most from this "international law enforcement"?
Separate authentication from authorization from identification.
Doesn't authentication generally mean your identification is authentic? Not sure how you separate those two.
Also, the tokens were enormous (64 hex characters). Guess it's "secure" that way!

Says Anonymous Coward. Hm...
The attack on Sony is just the latest example.
Um...assuming that was Anonymous...
People with pacemakers are probably the worst people to give extra clots in their blood.

They both ran XP
Slashdotters generally try to block XP out of their memory, which might explain the failure to recall here.
New Alureon Rootkit Takes Malware To Same Level As Before, but With More Obscurity.
Once you have root access, is there really "another level" to take it to?
Those both seem wrong.

Funny + Insightful = Frightful?
I was thinking the same. "I want an iSomething with Netflix" vs "I want an AndroidSomething with Netflix". How many choices does each question offer?
Yes but...how many libraries of congress is that? ;)
