That would be true if he simply clicked a public link that lead him to the data. He clearly did more than that so closer to scaling the wall using special equipment.
Also he admitted to deleting his tracks which makes it even more evident that he knew what he was doing was wrong and would get him in trouble.
I find locking a telescope onto a planet is hard enough to do on solid ground in my back yard... Not sure waves, engine vibration and the wind you get on upper decks of a ship would assist in a clear picture unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong because I love the idea.
And when people read the list of sites that went black today they will see that Slashdotters are so strongly against SOPA that they were willingly shutting down their site for a day.
It's about setting an example as well as raising awareness. The more names on the list, the better.
Who knows, maybe the "normal" people think slashdot might be FOR it! Without taking an active stance this website appears neutral in the matter.
Or put it on a thin wall display and call it art. People can see it change tiny amounts every time they visit and I can guarantee it would be a very cool topic of conversation.
Well are they using them for anything or are they just sitting in warehouses gathering dust? Because I wouldn't feel too bad stealing a moon rock which isn't currently doing any good or garnering any attention in some box Raiders-of-the-lost-ark-style. If I knew they were actively being used for Science(tm) then I would be a whole lot more apprehensive about it.
From the article: In two cases, one researcher still had nine lunar samples he borrowed 35 years ago and another had 10 chunks of meteorites he kept for 14 years. Neither had ever worked on them. Another researcher had 36 moon samples and kept them for 16 years after he had finished his research.
It doesn't exactly sound like they're in very high demand for research either... They're just novelties at this point. Just focus on getting us some Mars rocks that we can catalogue and promptly forgotten about.
Well that's curious because I ran > 4 gigs of ram on my 64bit version of XP just fine for graphics rendering. The 64 bit version can use up to 128 gigs.
The only reason I felt (keyword felt) the need to upgrade to 7 was because XP/2K (yes.. some of my boxes ran 2k) were getting too old for my liking. Windows 7 is not by any stretch of imagination old so I do not FEEL the need. This is something which will dictate a lot of consumers interest in buying it. In addition there is no game-changing upgrade which invites you in. With 7/Vista it was DirectX 11 which, frankly, has not been showing itself for the majority of time.
If someone tells you repeatedly: "You have to hear this, this is the funniest joke ever! hahahhaaha.". Then it usually ends up being not funny at all.
This could be because your brain is actively turned into alert mode where it's refusing to make assumptions so it can't be fooled or just because hype ruins everything because usually things don't live up to it.
I don't know about you, but the social interactions at my workplace are crucial to keeping me happy. You can sit at home with your high speed internet and IM system, I'd rather be able to see my co-workers face to face and occasionally through the scope of a nerf gun.

Surely you mean Episode 1: The Phantom Menace? Which is exactly what Iran is.
Yes, I'm sure taxing users to access slashdot will go down well. I doubt it would have much effect on traffic either.
This information is pointless without a time-frame. Was this in the 70's? Was it last week?
Just the other day I saw at least a dozen people who should have been working who were messing with their phones. How's that for anecdotal evidence!
If that's your proof I think you'll find that the prize money does exist, but only if you don't wish to observe it.
I'm not an expert, but what about the audio signal? Does that alter the available video bandwidth?
Damnit, I was planning on watching Die Hard this weekend.
Now it looks like I don't have to.
Jerk.

You don't have the full technical knowledge to fully appreciate a DSLR?
Learn it.
Trust me, the basics are a lot easier than you think. The rest is experimentation, play and frankly, photography.
You'll thank me in the long run when you're not stuck with a million lenses for a camera you've outgrown.
Well maybe you should watch the trailer, it's only 2:32.
It features old Bilbo telling his story to Frodo before cutting to young Bilbo for what I assume is the rest of the movie.
It does not introduce Frodo as a companion or anything that breaks the story.
Make the maker make more makers.

I don't.
Why?
The only reason I felt (keyword felt) the need to upgrade to 7 was because XP/2K (yes.. some of my boxes ran 2k) were getting too old for my liking. Windows 7 is not by any stretch of imagination old so I do not FEEL the need. This is something which will dictate a lot of consumers interest in buying it.

I imagine renaming it the sporadic table of the elements wouldn't go down too well with the academics.
Wait, is friendly fire on? Games seem to be forgetting about this function lately...
+1 for having never heard of them. To me the internet is the same tomorrow as it was yesterday.
What good are they to me if I've never been to their site or even know the name?
Hype ALWAYS kills a joke.

I know someone who knows someone who lives in LA who knows a movie exec who knows Kevin Bacon.
That's 3-4
How is that impossible?
According to the theory, all of the above actually.
Is it because it's an e-mail that they lie more or because it's a constructed piece of written media?
Did they find the same results in normal letters/mail vs oral/IM communication?
I suspect it's all because lying is a lot easier to do when you can edit and rewrite what you're saying before you've actually said it.
Colbert tried that already.
