This has BBBBBAAAADDDDDD! implications. If Reuters is found liable, webmasters and researchers everywhere will be facing the same nightmare that file-swappers and software developers are facing with the overly-broad DMCA. What if your website links to a URL no longer publicly linked to on that URL's domain? If that URL is meant to be a secret webpage all of the sudden, you'd be liable. Many of use use scraping bots in Perl, PHP, CFML, etc. that gather info from other sites automatically, often times using old URLs or URLs hacked together by our own intuitiveness. We would then become liable for any information found using information those bots gathered on our own website or in our own news stories. We all better hope that a judge realizes that, if a webpage is available in a public web browser with no use of a password or encryption, than that webpage is public domain and may be viewed and referenced by any journalist, webmaster, student, customer, lawyer, law enforcement, researcher, etc. Linking to a URL that is public or not, but requires no sort of authorization to access, no security, should not be an illegal hack. What about search engines with old, now non-public URLs?
I see this a lot, and I'm afraid I'm one of those "narrow-minded people," to some extent. I think it's just a product of environment for me. I have specific responsibilities at work and am forced to use the tools provided to me. There are times when I have convinced management to invest in new development tools, but even then I found myself ordering what I was already comfortable with so that I could dive right into the project and make management happy. Then again, I'm was a business mgmt. major that was thrusted into the IT workforce after my first real job. As for a college that offers so narrowly-minded courses that their students don't know Apache from MySQL... that is simply pathetic. College is a place to learn and experiment. And at that age, one is primed to want to see and try new things, especially computer science majors. Professors should be showing bits and pieces of all things IT-related. To focus on this software or that development environment only, simply means that the professors are inadequate to teach the next generations of IT workers.
Now, the people who hacked the Iraqi dictator's inbox must have a website somewhere with all these e-mails for the Slashdot community to enjoy, right? Any clues?
Dealing with overpopulation and fighting over land/resources needs to be addressed first. Putting humankind in space, building up instead of clearing every last forest, etc., needs to be accomplished before we can increase lifespans, thereby increasing world population. I mean, people are still fighting over land today. Look at Isreal and Palestine: that is about land and resources; religion is simply a scapegoat to justify violence, in an ironic sort of way.
This is just another example of gov't agencies failing to communicate with each other. The judge will probably blame Sklyarov for this screw up, when it's the state dept.'s fault. Don't they know who this guy is and why he's visiting? Hello!
I use SET@Home as my home PC screensaver, just so my computer is always productive. I would assume that SETI does have to pay for extra hardware to store all the data they are collecting from us, and programs probably need to be written/maintained to analyze that data, no including the people are are analyzing manually. Cheap means to an expensive end, if you get my drift.
What I don't understand is why the hardware industry would want to build DVD-A or SACD drives, but not recordable versions. Isn't that a step backward? What are we supposed to back up data on then? And don't we have the consumer right to backup a software or music CD for personal use? This just sounds like a major waste of corporate money.
If the average developer website hosting package offers 10 gb (10,000 mb) of monthly transfer and the average webpage weighs.1 mb (100 kb), hypothetically, the following equation gives the account's maximum allowable pageviews per day: (10,000 mb max transfer/month / 30 days) /.1 mb average download size = 3,333 max hits/day given text-only files and no uploading. Besides the consideration of graphics, linked scripts, and uploads, is there any fault in that equation? Do web server packets affect the total number of pageviews the account can handle? It just seems to me that just over 3,000 hits/day would not be enough for a small, but popular website, like a mama/pops storefront or a band homepage, for example. I mean, how would Slashdot's daily pageview count compare to its monthly transfer rate given that equation? How do Slashdot reader websites hold to that equation? Do any experienced sys. admin. here have a better equation to evaluate an account's max allowable pageviews per day? This is obviously an important consideration when building a website for a small organization, an up-n-coming artist, or a personal website.
Does it really matter if websites link to DeCSS now? Anybody can get a copy and instructions on how to use it. I got my copy from a P2P network and could easily send it to friends via e-mail, AIM, FTP, etc.
On one side, I strongly believe that our court system is an absolute mess because of frivolous lawsuits and judges that are NOT willing to stand up and put a stop to them. And this case is a perfect example of U.S. liberal groups trying to make technology accessible to the smallest groups at the expense (in money and more) of everybody else, similar to a former USPS contract I had where we had to build intranet sites for ALL legacy versions of IE and Netscape when Netscape 4.x and IE 5.x were already commonplace (which limited our production time and possibilities).
On the other side though, as bookstores and travel booking sites become two of the few successful online industries, replacing the need for brick-n-mortar stores and using the phone to book an airline ticket, respectively, I guess we do need to consider the implications of blind people online, considering that buying books and tickets may become an online-only business in the future.
I just have these important questions:
1) What does it take to make a website compliant for screen-reader programs? What is the cost in money and time, and what is sacrificed in making a website compliant (design, added features, multi-media, etc.)?
2) Is there a screen-reader standard, or would websites have to code for several different readers, much like my IE vs. Netscape scenario above?
3) Major online stores are one thing, but what about mama-n-pop stores with online fronts? What about news sites? What about larger, popular personal websites? What about Slashdot or P2P sites? How far does the compliance have to run, who is liable, and how do you regulate such a compliance procedure?
4) Shouldn't the screen-reader programs be the ones being sued, not the websites? As childish as this may sound, but "Which were here first?" Shouldn't the screen-reader programs be modified to accept new web technologies? My fear is that websites will spend so much time and money creating accessibility for the 1%, that the 99% will never see any advancement in design, functionality, "webtricks," multi-media, etc. Are browsers themselves an important element in affective screen-reading?
If you are a website owner and/or web developer, this case could have longterm implications and in a negative way.
BioPhysics-Informatics... the combination of Botany (study of plant life) and Computer Programming sounds like good, old Bio-Informatics to me (I have some experience in that field). So, adding the Physics piece only seems natural... BioPhysics-Informatics... wow, I'd like a degree in that; although, 6 years for a bachelors ain't my style. I got my BS in Business Mgmt. (w/ minor in Linguistics) in 3 1/2 years with Summer school and an easy schedule from GMU; though, I do regret not doing a double-major which would have been 5 years. I also regret doing business mgmt. when I'm an IT professional now anyway. I wish I doubled in English and Computer Science.
I'd like to make a recommendation to new college students though. If you have considered a minor, I highly recommend it as a way to use your mandatory, non-major electives. And I recommend Linguistics (usually taught through the English dept.) if you see programming in your future. Linguistics is a scientific study of language across all languages and includes grammer, phonetics, etc. I feel that those couple courses improved my ability to look at existing code and dissect it. If you have to take a foreign language in college, Linguistics will be a huge asset there as well, as many foreign language or English teachers going for their Masters are forced to take some Linguistics courses.
This is a perfect example of why the federal and state(s) court system needs to be revamped in a major way. It is too damn easy to sue somebody today. Where is the 1st Amendment in these PetsWarehouse lawsuits? Freedom of speech. A customer is allowed to tell other consumers about a company's poor service or weak products. And mailing lists and private website forums are discussion areas, not news media or corporate competitors, so a customer should be allowed to speak his/her mind. How the hell does Consumer Reports magazine/website get away with rating products? You don't see an automobile manufacturer suing the Insurance Institute for sharing their test ratings (with some cars getting the worst rating) on NBC's Dateline television in front of millions of viewers. This Robert Novak needs to be stopped by a judge.
Hey, Mr. Novak, if your customers say your Pets Warehouse sucks, it must suck, or at least you must be doing something wrong. I certainly won't be buying products from you for my cat, and I would certainly recommend to everybody personally or in a public forum NOT to even visit your store.
Novak's company e-mail is below, so feel free to make use of it, as I'm sure Slashdot readers are already doing, if the infamous "Slashdot effect" hasn't stopped their servers already!!!
Now, what's next? Sue me for my free speaking? Sue Zeropaid and/or Slashdot for posting the same consumer info and comments that Google linked to? What a bunch of dog crap forced on unfortunate individuals buy some loser with an obvious Napolean complex and complete inability to accept responsibility for his failed business actions.

I live in Williamsburg, VA, commuting distance from both Norfolk and Richmond. But the local papers are pathetic for tech jobs. Now, if I was in the medical professional, damn there are a lot of ads for that industry down here.
Now, when I lived outside of DC, the Washington Post was great for finding work. In fact, all my jobs up there came from the Post.
But where I live now, the onlines are really my only option, other than networking.
Now, if I move to Vegas next year like I'm planning, anybody know what the newspapers are like out there?
I've been using Google as my only search engine and directory since it's first year being open. And I've been using (and scraping!) the BETA of the news search for, what, has it been like 9 months?
But this final BETA looks great and that disclaimer at the bottom that some of you have already mentioned is pretty funny.
If I had all the money I needed to be happy, I would probably still do small web development contract work, cause I have fun doing it. And I would work a small public relations firm for music artists.
But for fun, I would attend a lot of concerts and arts shows, plus sports events. I would rent a lot of movies at first, but then go back to reading a lot of sci-fi, non-fiction, and poetry books and magazines.
I would try writing a couple books, but definitely publish some poetry and start a little rock band.
I would watch a lot of ESPN adn Sunday football, something that I haven't done in a long, long time.
And I would go back to school to get a masters and phd.
And, in my boredom (?!), I'd probably become a hacker!
I agree that, if you work for the government, the advancement opportunities are much greater. But government contractors can vary greatly in this regard, so ask a lot of questions during your interview.
As for what is better, public vs. private, the question is a lot more complex than that. First off, many of us don't have the option to choose right now. We take what we can get.
Second, some private companies are really fun to work for, while others are really stuffy and b.cratic. And while public sector jobs may prove more bland, structured, and run-of-the-mill, sometimes the work load can get really slow; which could be good or bad thing, depending on you personally. And in my experience so far, contractors are much more fun to work for, but don't offer dependable advancement. Working directly for a medium-to-large company can offer great advancement, but can be drag to work for.
In the end, interview for jobs in all sectors and industries, and use your gut to pick the most appealing workplace that offers the pay you are looking for. Balance happiness with pay, always.
Now, a more interesting question to discuss here might be: What industries are the best to work for?
I have worked in non-profit, biotech, federal contractor, travel, and now DoD. The biotech was probably the most interesting, while the company I worked for doing federal contracts was my favorite workplace (the pay simply sucked at the time). I like non-profit, but hated the travel industry, and don't seem to be adjusting well to DoD.
How about you all?
The American Gov't didn't force TV on them
on
The Last Place
·
· Score: 1
It's not like the American gov't is sending gov't officials or military to force other countries or regions to adopt American culture or trends. If a remote and traditional culture wants to embrace culture or technology from any other nation or culture, that is their choice (unless there are guns involved, which there weren't here).
This is more of a debate of advancing technology verses privacy and securty lost. The easier daily routines become due to better and cheaper technology, no one can doubt that privacy and security are taken for granted.
So I pose to the/. community...
Option #1: Do we embrace technology for the sake of speeding along advancement, thereby being retro-active when security flaws or privcay issues come to bare?
Option #2: Or do we be pro-active and addresses all concerns prior to public consumption, thereby possibly slowing down technological advancement considerably?
I don't see viability in using ScramJet for airtravel, but what about for payloads to space or satellite insertion? You don't see a use for ScramJet there?
Sure, as the article mentions, many believe that ICANN caters to big business and under-the-table pay-offs in domain disputes, just as most Congressman are swayed by the rich and big business, not the general population or majority.
ICANN may very well have documents that shed light on how poorly and unfairly they operate.
The mere fact that ICANN is fighting so hard to hide these documents is a sign of corruption, given that they are a monopoly AND they deal with such an otherwise public business.
I'm sorry, but if you do not have a gov't issues photo ID, you are either an idiot or an extremist, and most of us don't want either on sitting on a commercial airplane.
Just as the RIAA and the major recording labels are pushing away their customers by shoving their outdated copyright models down consumers' throats, the TV industry is ready to push away its viewers by forcing even MORE advertising on us.
I don't like to watch commercials, nobody really does. But you still here the messages when you're in the kitchen grabbing a drink, etc.
And product placement in sports and movies has sure worked well, so why can't it be the money saver in regular TV programming?
In fact, there would be more realism with product placement in all TV shows. It's much more realistic to see somebody drinking a Coca-Cola than an all read can with no labels!
A co-worker and I put a transparent graphic link on the footer of our company's public websites.
