I'm sure there are probably some stand-up folks who are "Anonymous." But I tend to think that for the most part Anonymous lacks the courage of their convictions—if they believed in the causes they trumpet, they would do so openly.
Why so? Anonymous civil disobedience might actually be more effective than public. If you believe in a cause, you should do what is most effective to support it.
Latency to the local cloud is largely irrelevant. As long as it falls below the threshold of human perception, what tiny fraction of applications is going to care? Not even an FPS game is that sensitive.
Your data is certainly going to be less secure on hardware you control than on hardware in the cloud, barring your being a one-in-a-million security expert. That's a small market for those desktops.
They can vastly outperform airlines in a number of scenarios: Medium distance, where their shorter load and takeoff times mean that their difference in average speed is canceled out. High volume routes, where their lower price per pound due to not having to climb to altitude or provide any lift pays off.
I'm surprised that anyone can read that and read an editorial tone into it. I see absolutely nothing to suggest we should be shocked by the size of the award. Neither was I shocked, nor do I see a slant myself.
Technically, they didn't torrent the copyrighted program, since that wasn't what they got. They got the intentionally distributed via torrent trojan program.
One could argue that if Google allowed the hole it currently fills to be filled by a more evil company, the world would be substantially damaged. As a trivial example, imagine the world if MS dominated search. That would be net-more-evil than Google being a big company.
But if you want to make allowances for idiotic leadership, Google got run almost into the ground by Schmidt who was brought in because the VC's thought Page was too young. Imagine where Google would be today if they had let the innovators continue leading the company rather than some stupid suit.

Slashdot is U.S.-centric. We readily admit this, and really don't see it as a problem. Slashdot is run by Americans, after all, and the vast majority of our readership is in the U.S. We're certainly not opposed to doing more international stories, but we don't have any formal plans for making that happen. All we can really tell you is that if you're outside the U.S. and you have news, submit it, and if it looks interesting, we'll post it.
It is worth noting that there is a Japanese Slashdot run by VA Japan. While we helped them a little in their early days, they essentially run their own content without any real involvement from us... none of us can read Kanji! There are currently no plans to do other language or nation specific Slashdot sites. "

You have one name, out of 7000.
He's passing them onto the EFF.

He's talking about what should be, not what is. What is right, vs what is legal. How the legal system itself should work, not how it does.
Does anyone really care if their search results pop up in 0.5 seconds rather than 1? Is there another google website anyone actually uses?

You'll run that on the cloud, where you'll have access to 1000x the performance any desktop could give you.

Tethered solar satellites will be providing juice to compose aircraft fuel straight from CHON by then.

Well, you can think your rocket is capable, but you can't know until you arrive.
A band-saw, a glue gun, a horse and an antelope will solve your unicorn problem faster than wishing.
You deserve it for being friends with a pirate. Next time maybe you'll think about who you give your phone number to.
You can't look where you're going AND use your smartphone at the same time. That is, not without this app.

I'm pretty sure virtually everyone with genes cares whose genes win out. Only a small fraction in this world care more about memes than genes.
And you know he got his ideas from others patent applications that he buried.
That seems improbable. The Palestinians have all of 20k, access to the necessary materials, and the will to set off such a bomb, so why haven't they?
I'm pretty sure Borat's mustache was intentionally 70's pornish.

That's what declawing and sewing the feet together is for. You may want to hire a new haberdasher.

I'll give you one guess what photosynthesis converts into oxygen.
The water that falls from the sky is not clean enough for most industrial purposes, what makes you think it would be for this?
