Really? Equating an entire population of people (students, profs, etc.) with a few corrupt administrators? One guy with a gun could deal with the pedos and his supporters, you don't need to blow up innocent people. TL;DR you're an idiot.
I actually take issue with the suggestion that voice analysis CAN get to the point where we could do that. Two people can produce incredibly similar sounds despite large physical differences; any extrapolation from one would be useless if the originator of the sound didn't match that profile.
It's not like if iOS 6 is suddenly so amazing that it takes all of Android's marketshare, people are going to plug keyboards and mice into their iPhones and play Call of Duty Avant-Garde Death 19.
"Gadgets" are not going to replace personal computers, at least not without incredible game-changing breakthroughs in computing. I own a saddening number of smartphones and tablets but I still use a desktop all day at work and I just built a new gaming rig that is largely replacing my laptop. I can't use my gadgets to do what those machines do.
So yes, what happens with Desktop OSes is relevant.
Network captures do not embody "natural randomness". Packets are produced by computers too, not by the entropy of the universe or something. This guy has toked a little too much ganja.
They're probably not even as random as a regular pseudorandom number generator. The latter makes some guarantees with regards to what you'll get out and ensures that no basic patterns are present. Network captures don't have these features. Depending on the computer, the network, and so on the incoming packets may be quite deliberate and ordered.
Had mine a year and a half, no problems. Only a few of the many people I've talked to with them have had major hardware problems, no more than any other decent phone. Perhaps you have uncareful friends?:P
The point is that decisions CHANGE the number of users worldwide (the reverse of what you're saying). It's interesting. No one's attempting to convert you to Chrome.
Um, what? They're purely losing data. Instead of having both (1) the list of users / IPs / whatever who view a page and (2) the list of users who "Like" that page, they now only get (2) and their IP info, rather than everyone's. There is no advantage.
No, dude. They have a little grey icon hosted locally, and when it's clicked they do an AJAX call and insert the Facebook "Like" button dynamically. That prevents Facebook from using the page that gets loaded in the iframe with the Like button from tracking the user until they've clicked the button. Otherwise everyone who visited the site would automatically be tracked when the Like button was automatically loaded.
He also says, 'Some of [the U.S.'s] best engineers are not doing engineering, and some of its best potential engineers are not even studying engineering, leaving us short-changed
So he's being misleading, if not outright contradicting himself. A crappy engineer is no engineer at all, so if we need more good engineers then there very much is an engineering shortage.
Certainly could. If nothing else it would be breach of contract for those who intentionally purchased a motherboard in part due to the SATA3 controller.

Thank you for fighting the good fight on irresponsible journalism, good sir.
Truly there has never been a more cogent or effective insult.
Said the AC.

That's exactly what they'd want us to think, arth1. Or should I say ... anon1?
but perceive lies about work experience on LinkedIn as more easily verifiable
You can't verify a lie. You can only verify whether something *is* a lie. Insert comment whining about Slashdot's editors.
And "Nobel Prize," not "nobel-price."

Nothing says there's a problem. It's just an interesting little tidbit.

And what are you going to put this in, a PII? That won't help, the bottleneck is the processor (~400 MHz) or some other part of the ancient hardware.
Congratulations, you know absolutely nothing about cancer or biology in general.
Erm. Have you seen Android's market share lately?
The point is that TSA workers don't have "good names". They're unknowns, no one knows them by name. In other words, checkpoint smurfs.
That's sort of like wanting to eat ice cream and dog turds at the same time. Just skip the turds altogether.

Some people know how to re-install an OS.
The rest of the world had no problem...
