I bet you're the type who just sucks it all right up when the prosecutors' expert witnesses tells you just how tiny the chances are that the DNA test might be wrong.
Seems the bankers should take a look at other technologies and consider some updates in how they handle it.
As long as the bankers can force everyone else to pay for the fraud the bankers' incompetence causes, they have absolutely no incentive to get their house in order.
That said, the problem with the obvious solution is that in order to encrypt card information immediately with the destination bank's public key you'd need to update all of the card swipe machinery and software with either a comprehensive database of keys or some way of securely identifying the correct bank and retrieving that key.
The Constitution still applies, but applying it would require an AIG exec to take the matter up with the courts.
Just think, if murder cases were handled the same way Constitutional cases are, we'd never put a murderer in jail because anyone alive "doesn't have standing". That, or since the victim is already dead and the damage can't be undone, the point is "moot".
What the law REQUIRES and what the law PERMITS are two different things. The law PERMITTED them to add diesel to an existing system in order to receive an additional profit from subsidies.
tries to write a word/post in Japanese or any other non-English language.
I think the point is that the site wants to remain in English. There's always slashdot.jp if you want to pretend that you know Japanese.
I do admit that having a submission filter fix the most common copy/paste issues (ellipses, em dashes, curved quotes, etc) should be high on the wishlist for slashdot.
Honestly, this just sounds like he's torturing the concept of "fair use" until it suits his purposes
The problem is that the legal definition of "fair use" is basically handwaving and "I know it when I see it". (Much like obscenity and other laws we're expected to use psychic powers to live by.)
If he waves his hands just right, he'll cast "get off scot free". Of course, any error will unleash the unspeakable terrors of the damned upon us all.
The REAL answer would be for someone to install and maintain conduit across the entire city door-to-door, access to which can be leased by anyone wanting to run anything anywhere.

well, on the commandline it would be find/path/to/usbdrive -iname '*.mp3' -daystart -mtime +{# days ago 2008-10-02 was} -mtime -{# days ago 2008-08-01}
And yes, pointing out that requiring knowing how many days ago those dates were is valid criticism. Ideally, someone would patch GNU find so that the -[acm]time options accepted the timestamps that GNU find produces ("for example `2004-04-28+22:22:05'").
For whichever GUI you use, you're up against the fact that GUIs limit you to whatever boxes the developer thought you should be able to fill in. File a wishlist item in your file manager's bug tracker, asking for an "Advanced Search" option with features like modification date ranges (and whatever else) that can be accessible from rightclicking a folder (like the mountpoint for your USB drive) and choosing search from the menu.
That's because most of the time someone tells you that, it's because you are. The first thing I do when someone asks me why so-and-so doesn't work is to ask what they were trying to do with it. Setting aside the script kiddies trying to compile teardrop.c and stupid enough to admit it, it still leaves a large number of people who have discovered a hammer and sees nails everywhere, or a screwdriver and wants to proceed to screw everything up. For instance, just about everything possible is packaged for just about every modern distribution, but I've watched people cause their system to implode because someone answered the question of "how do I install this (bleeding edge fedora, btw) rpm on my (2 year old suse, btw... but these were mere unimportant details and were not provided on the first go-around) distribution?" because the user in question was throwing a shitfit about all this "dependency hell" bullshit. As opposed to... say... telling them to upgrade their system, or to download the appropriate rpm for their version of suse.
But I agree with Zelig, this is a customer support issue. As far as criticism goes, there's tons of it (for instance take Firefox and look at the numerous complaints about the AwesomeBar. Or the complaints about the lack of enterprisey features like group policies and.msi installers). Free software's problem is that the criticism is ignored.
I guess you don't pay much attention to the.jp gaming scene.

No, he probably lives in Houston.
The more comprehensive the database the more innocents will be prevented from becoming victims.
Or the more innocents will become victims of invalid DNA tests.

If they use Bell's lines to do it, Bell STILL cuts you off at the knees.

then locks down port 22 entirely except for defined, fixed-IP administrative exceptions
This is my default configuration, with a port knock pattern for emergency access.
the way the law forced them to
What the law REQUIRES and what the law PERMITS are two different things. The law PERMITTED them to add diesel to an existing system in order to receive an additional profit from subsidies.
Reminds me of the Dreamcast's VMU, complete with the minigames that provided in-game bonuses.
You had to post logged-in, didn't you?
Actually, I do, since slashdot is doing their part to combat terrorism and blocking me from making more than one AC post every few hours.
What kind of water-cooling system lets the water evaporate into the air?
Your sweat, as an example.

Reminds me of all the spam I get where someone screwed up the template. "Re: [SUBJECT]" or "Dear $TARGETNAME" etc.
By "intended purpose" you mean, of course, the exact same purpose it's always used for
Except for when it's used to remove material that isn't infringing the complainant's copyrights, either submitted by some sort of drooling subhuman (against a file manager) or a pissed off lawyer (numerous takedown notices for parodies) or at random (like this tutorial video) or by someone who just has no clue how this copyright thingy is supposed to work (Protip: unless you design furniture from cardboard boxes, pictures of furniture from cardboard boxes do not infringe your copyright).
It's a slashdot bias, actually. We only hear about the fuckups here. Letters used for their intended purpose come and go all the time without notice.
we take the lenses from the telescope, and make them really large and flat, and put them in front of the face, maybe with a wire or plastic holder
Nice try, but part of the point of this is to re-aim the light to hit a non-damaged part of the retina after it goes through the lens of the eye.

It saves extra typing
I just use mtr in the first place.
I was thinking "Patient" should go to people who hit "Submit" over and over and keep getting told that they must wait to use the resource.
It references a paper published in December, so like the autism article, I'd assume it's either serious, or a prank with a lot of build-up.
