What kind of idiot hasn't realized this yet? (obviously, America)
I'm pretty sure we now have a national healthcare system of some sort these days. Maybe you missed all the pissing and moaning in the papers. Understandable if you aren't from the US.
Of course Tesla is getting lots of press, it's because electric cars are new. People (especially Americans) do not like change, they assume that the old way is the best way. With every new technology, you'll have those old bastards still crying about how their gas engines never did this (Even though they do, and on a much larger scale).
The same press will plague the driverless car. Once one or two accidents happen the media will be in an uproar and so will the populace.
Sometimes, the old way really is better. I don't think so in this case, but that opinion often has merit in the day of "change for the sake of change."
No, that was not meant as a political reference...
All but a few of the companies providing data had miniscule teams. Not exactly likely to be a fantastic representation of the averages.
I was surprised to see that flickr supposedly has 40 developers. They must all be on dilbert style cofee breaks because from a customer's perspective they can't get the site working for beans. Having personally reported significant bugs to them months ago (every one of which is still present), it's extra disappointing. Maybe they're too busy writing encryption to protect datacenter communications in the name of protecting my publicly available information.
I hope you're right that it was something he was required to write for the proceeding, because if he's trying to wing it without a lawyer he's already screwed up. Letters from litigants carry very little weight with most courts, even those (small claims/traffic court) that primarily deal with matters that aren't usually worth hiring a lawyer for. Litigants are expected to know how to draft a pleading and obey the rules of procedure.
Funny, but I thought citizens were guaranteed rights to a fair trial. If you have to hire a lawyer to get a fair trial then that means only those who can afford lawyers these rights.
And magically drugs appear inside your house plus pictures of you fondling kids.
These days, no such trouble is necessary. They'll just come get you and haul you off indefinitely with no explanation. At least, that's the case in the US. Maybe the Brits are better protected from their government.
... because any opinion differing wildly from yours must be that of a shill, bot, or troll? Accept the fact that Slashdot has gone mainstream and there are people with a diverse set of political and social ideals here now. Or, continue to think that your opinion is the only one. Your call.
I can tell you I work in IT, and at my office the "left wing" line of thinking is definitely more rare than the right.
"Note: SourceForge and Slashdot share a corporate parent."
Then, have any of you (the editorial staff) thought to voice a complaint to your parent about being associated with what is widely considered a shady practice?
You must have confused dice for a company that cares.
Sure, but not paid over and over again for years. They should get paid one time if they sell their idea, or many times if they sell a product based on that idea.
But you (the consumer) reap the benefits of the idea over and over for infinity years, yet want to pay only once. That's like paying once at a restaurant, and eating there for the rest of year without paying.
If you must use an analogy I don't think that's a good one. I think it's more like a restaurant deciding that peanut butter is good on a hamburger and that no other restaurant should be able to put peanut butter on their hamburgers.
How about if the inventor of the wheel had been allowed to patent it? We might be driving around on stone wheels today. Patents stifle innovation.
Never then... Because smart people, who think stuff up, ought to be able to get paid for their ideas. And it should not matter, whether one decided to implement the idea himself, or to sell it to the highest bidder.
The patent trolls with their vague (yet costly) claims are abusing the system, but there is nothing wrong with the basic premise behind the patents.
Sure, but not paid over and over again for years. They should get paid one time if they sell their idea, or many times if they sell a product based on that idea. There should be some rather short limits on the patent timeframes.. say 5 years. That way patents would not stifle innovation like they do today.
What's odd is that those directories shouldn't be public in the first place. You're supposed to remove them (or block them) once the install is done and before you turn the forum live.
Yep, pretty sure that's part of the installation instructions. Not exactly a product vulnerability, more like a couple lazy admins didn't close the door when they finished moving in.
Get over yourself. It's pretty fucking obvious these domains are torrent sites, and make a shit load of money from adverts and "donations for servers" while their only product is the illegal distribution of copyrighted material. They also sell seedbox subscriptions. The days of bedroom torrent trackers are gone, this is organised crime venturing into new fields and easy money.
Due process is due process. Doesn't matter what your opinion is on the matter unless you're a judge or jury member.
Slashdot Mirror
after something like 10000 years since the wheel was invented you would think that patent was expired
But THIS wheel has rounded corners. Two sets of rounded corners.
Methane ice under the ocean also does this. Interesting?
So does cabbage.
... and the fat kid from middle school.

What a quaintly pre-9/11 notion.
Point taken.

Enjoy.

That's twice now, Charlie Mopps has saved us.
How does anti freeze fit in there?
I realize this is America, where cops are bad and independence rules
FTFY
So an AC said he will not be arrested. Well that's enough for me.... wait, Julian, what if it's a trap?
It's not. Come on down!

Come on, cut the apple users a little slack. Granted, they're the online equivalent of the tea party.. but what can they do?

I have last year's top end model of a MacBook Air.... :/
Not sure that would be considered bargain bin...
Macbook air is not exactly high end. It's kind of the opposite in the apple laptop lineup, isn't it? Bargain Bin / Low End.. semantics.
39 inches at only 1080p? No thanks.

With Oracle doing everything possible to kill Java, it's shocking that Java persists.
