Prior to the trial, you shouldn't be sharing such an opinion with the guy on the next bar stool if you really care about justice.
He came to town to see a hangin' and by golly, a hangin' he's gonna see!

Maybe we need a new section for speculative fiction here. We could call it soundingboard.slashdot.org, and everyone can go there and post their "Wouldn't it be cool if..." rants.
We can even simplify the comment section by just having one big "NO!" button.
I want to make sure I never hire you to do any work for me. You are obviously too short-sighted to deal with reality.
After you give us yours so we can make sure we never work for you. You're obviously going to demand that we spend twice the time developing the site on two rapidly diverging technology levels, essentially requiring us to make two copies of the site while only paying for one.
Your answer is probably "Not Yet". The "original" non-OpenSSH has had a configuration option for this for years, Portable OpenSSH (the one you're probably using unless you're on OpenBSD) has a bug from 2005 that is still drawing patches (last patch from Jan. 2010)
What? You've been using this as your excuse for driving an SUV? Sorry about that.
I drove a Geo Metro, you insensitive clod! (Man, that thing was like the TARDIS: tiny on the outside, *tons* of space inside.) Now I drive a slightly larger coupe.
What I've always wanted to know is why the brake pedal is higher than the gas in nearly every car I've driven in. Since I'm tall, my knees are up under the steering wheel and I cannot lift my heel off the ground to "stomp" on anything, and once when I was trying to "stomp" on the brakes my foot ended up under the brake pedal (managed to figure out my mistake pretty quick).
Somebody steps in a puddle and puts their foot on the brake but it slips off... whoops! unintended acceleration!
In Linux, people seem to add their ssh key so you can logon to pretty much every computer in your network.
Spreading your public key around like that isn't a big deal. It's when the user removes the password from the private key so he never has to type anything to log in, THAT's the real bad one.
I think most states allow you to post a bond for the minimum amount in lieu of insurance, the catch being that you don't get interest from your $50k being held.
Can someone turn that into English? I'm trying to figure out how the hell reading news about someone allows me to participate "in the same activity as the another user".
As far as I can tell, what this patent means is that if my friend sets his status to "brb getting stoned" and there's a news article about a drug bust, I'll be invited to the address of the bust so I can get arrested too.
Yes, but if your distribution is sane (ie is Debian) and you're sane (ie not using Unstable), you won't have a version of Gimp that requires libraries that the rest of your distribution can't use, unless you try to get it from somewhere else.
What if "item"s came from the users in the first place? Most databases don't return the strings pre-escaped for reuse in the database.
Personally, web programming is where "Hungarian Notation" style variable names shine: I have htVariableName, dbVariableName and the original inVariableName, and it's blindingly obvious when I'm using the wrongly-escaped string in the wrong place or re-escaping something I already escaped.
The idea is that instead of creating a "users" table and filling it with your users, the user is created as a database user, and their username and password is handed straight to the database during the connection process. If it connects, the user had a valid username/password. If it doesn't connect, the user didn't. If you have a million users, then your database server would need to be able to handle having a million different users each with different levels of access on different tables/rows/columns/etc.
Aside from the problem of having the database wade through a million users to decide if you have permission to perform every last query, the process of finding out whether a user has permission to perform a query in advance is usually a hairy system-level (possibly db-version-specific, new system catalog next version) query, but if you don't do that, then you get users raging at you because they spent their time filling out a form and it threw an error at them when they hit save and now it's all gone and they want that 30 minutes of their life back.
The other problem is that for most database servers, db accounts are server/cluster-wide, meaning that on any kind of shared hosting, everyone's usernames have to be distinct across people you don't even know about.
or are uninsurable due to preexisting conditions. And treat it as actual insurance that only covers large expenses
The large expenses are usually what makes people uninsurable. See, "actual insurance" works because if your house burns down you take the money and get a new house. If you do this often the insurance company charges you more. If your TV gets stolen you take the money and buy a new TV, if this happens often the insurance company charges you more. If your car gets wrecked, you take the money and get a new car, if this happens often the insurance company charges you more.
If your body gets wrecked, well, you're just fucked. You can't get a new body, the best you can hope for is that your insurance company will pay to keep you alive, at least until they come up with a reason to drop you, usually by charging you more and more until you can't afford it, or just waiting until you can't work anymore and lose your job and benefits.
There are only two ways I can think of to make health insurance work: 1) Insurance companies can get off their fat lardasses and do something to reduce the cost of healthcare. If they didn't have to pay so much, then we wouldn't have to pay them so much. Maybe WellPoint should take a piece of that $2.7 Billion profit and invest in cheaper drugs. 2) Ditch the employers and sell health insurance like life insurance. Buy in young and healthy and your rate is fixed for the term of the plan (say, 50 years from 20 to 70 then you go on Medicare, or maybe buy an extension if you're healthy enough?). There is absolutely ZERO reason for $3M of health insurance (most policies' lifetime maximum, the vast majority of patients will not hit this before they get to Medicare age) to cost more than $3M of life insurance.
Er, no. Unless Aussies have really different ideas about corporations, once the company incorporated, it's no longer "his stuff" it's "the corporation's stuff". If the CEO just sneaks in at night and takes things from the corporation, it's typically called "embezzlement". At least here in the US anyway. Now, if the shareholder board said "hey Mike, go take all the things of value from the company and ship them out of the country to keep the government from seizing it for back taxes and wages" then I guess he's just following orders. I wonder if Australian corporations have limited liability for direct orders to commit fraud?
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe if everyone stopped crying about elitism when people suggest that we elect smart people to run the country, we wouldn't be having this problem.
Sadly, stupidity seems to be bi-partisan.

Bah, showoffs. I prefer to get real work done with my computer, so I stick to GNU/Hurd.

In fact I would say his actions show he is perfectly aware of how screwed he is/could-be.
The USB stick is a red herring. The REAL evidence is on the microSD card he shoved up his nose.

The whole point is that the driver should be in control of the vehicle at all times.
The whole point of cruise control is that a pedal is a shitty way to control a numeric value.

If it was actually doing something USEFUL like protesting censorship or whatever, it'd be a perfectly cromulent stunt. This is just attention whoring.

Actually, hospitals don't get the money until AFTER they show that they're using electronic records.

Yet that's the ONLY reason for such a database to exist.

the first thing I think is "this is completely unfalsifiable."

a car must be built like a tank and get low mileage to clear the regulatory environment in the US.
Ford was probably right when they said Americans wouldn't pay a dollar more for safety. Ford just pissed everyone off by throwing it in their face.

Er, no. Unless Aussies have really different ideas about corporations, once the company incorporated, it's no longer "his stuff" it's "the corporation's stuff".

now I'm curious at to what the 1080s proved
That whoever invented interlacing and those who later refused to get rid of it when we got rid of CRTs should be dragged into the street and shot.

Dunno about this press conference but if you're talking about a famous athlete with a gun problem, my go-to choice would have been Arenas.
