Why does Microsoft need poop to power their datacenter? The MS management should know that there is plenty of fuel: Bob, Clippy, Windows NT, Windows Millenium, Windows 8...
Actually, most cows have an ear-tag that has a number, barcode, and RFID. Why bother the kids with subdermally insertion; just staple a tag on their right ear!
Here's an idea: 1. Take the money from the companies 2. Deposit it in a bank 3. Take out money to donate (anonymously) to people and groups that are fighting against the companies that are trying to grease your hand 4. Feel good about yourself and keep on sticking it to the companies
Look, the quantity of backups you have on phones, computers, RAID arrays, at work, at home, thumb drives, etc looks like a case of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I am NOT a psychiatrist, but I've been treated for it. I'd suggest that you see a psychologist or psychiatrist and see if you manifest OCD symptoms. If you do, get it treated! If you don't, go on vacation and unwind. Putting your business before yourself is the wrong way to live.
Looks like publishers and authors didn't read the contracts that Amazon and B&N sign. The authors gave the rights to electronically distribute their books and even "lend" it from one person to another. Along comes LendInk to help people to find people willing to lend/borrow book(s) with others. Nothing else; no piracy and the actual lend/borrow is conducted via Amazon or B&N.
Does anyone have a list of publishing companies and/or authors that bitched about LendInk? I'd like for my money to go somewhere else.
It can also be deadly. A friend of mine gave me the Chicken Pox which, within 2 weeks, lead to bacterial endocarditis, spinal meningitis, pneumonia and Reye's syndrome. Note that the US didn't start using the Chicken Pox vaccine until 1995; it hit me in the 1970's. Fortunately my parents found the doctors I needed and I'm alive today.
I wonder how many children die every year because their parents don't want to get them vacinated.
Anyone who has worked for the government, a contractor to the government and is/was employed by a company has had a background check done. You don't think said entities simply file away your personal information, do you? You've seen the many stories on/. about people not being hired or getting fired because of their Facebook/My Space/etc account. Well, you also invite the government/employer to use the rest of the information they collect from you to find out who you really are and not the prim and proper job candidate/employee that graced their doorstep.
Face the facts: Our world is a world where collection of information is a hot business and you are the prey. And your personal data that has been given or harvested WILL come back to haunt you.
There are a few things I've seen in work places that really contribute to the bashing: 1. Suits who won't talk to IT staff 2. IT staff that won't talk to suits 3. Both sides bitch about the other behind closed doors and the grapevine still passes the scuttlebutt 4. Both sides having a superiority complex
I'd encourage the IT staffs to go and talk with your management. You'll be glad you did.
All pencils and pens should be replaced with nice blunt magic markers. For math classes or other times when frequent erasing is needed, they can use an Etch-a-Sketch (tm).
Give kids the markers, they can sniff them to get high, then take their Etch-a-Sketch and bludgeon out the brains of the Math teacher.
I'm surprised that the map company won a case on infringement. If I protected my website like the map company did ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbWg-mozGsU ), I'd expect my website to be pwn3d rather quickly.
and I'd like to know if this disabling happens when you get in the car, start it or put the car in gear. If you're in an accident, wouldn't you want you phone to work to call help?

Sadly, many people treat others poorly.
Too bad that the assailants doesn't realize that they are assaulting themselves.
Does this mean that the Raspberry Pi can bake itself?

Now I need to read the next story on /.

Looks like Max Headroom will be the new VP candidate.
At least he has a mute button.
Or any tried and tested methods for testing storage media?
#2 pencil, Scantron sheet and the test.
Works for me everytime.
There is really no justification for the current media pricing.
Really? Ever heard of greed?

Anyone know when the International Space Station goes up for sale?
Just need to work on how to get there.
Just order a few 55 gallon drums of green food coloring.
Presto! Green rocket fuel!
Assess Slashdot's core demographic (young white males with liberal leanings).
That's a bit racist and sexist. Frankly, everyone here looks green to me.
and then get me a beer :)
No, that should be "sudo get me a beer"!
Hell, yeah!
My brain just divided by 0.
Has anyone seen Rod Serling around here?

Two bull sharks were spotted swimming past a McDonald’s in the city of Goodna...
Anyone else think we'll see a McDonald's commercial with an Aussie-accented shark?
And Steve Irwin was right: sharks WILL eat ANYTHING!

Hmmm... What you meant is "Countdown to breeding humans for large insect consumption starts in ..."
And I was looking forward to seeing the woodpeckers making holes in my house disappear in puffs of smoke.
Damn those woodpeckers!
