As journalists you are expected to seek reliable sources
Yes.
and to accompany reports of controversial facts with attribution.
No.
Sometimes the only way for a journalist to obtain the information they need from reliable sources is to promise to keep their sources anonymous. It's particularly funny that you are picking on the WSJ because they are the paper that brought down Nixon with information from anonymous sources.
Whoa, sonny, I didn't mean to challenge your manhood. I went from a long term relationship with a girl on the pill, to a girl that refused to take the pill and made me wear condoms. Go through that, and you will see the market for a male contraceptive. As the happily married guy above attests, condoms are messy, inconvenient, less pleasurable, and embarrassing to purchase. They'll keep you from getting the clap off a hooker, but using them regularly is a nightmare.
The article describes a potential contraceptive that provides all the benefit of a vasectomy without any of the downsides of a vasectomy (hey, I want to have kids some day). If you can't see why there is interest in this, you've never been saddled with condoms. I didn't mean to insult you, I meant to point out that you have no idea what you are talking about, and I think I was spot on. Take a deep breath before the mods dig you a deeper hole.
Leaking the entire database to identity thieves is part/most/all of the hacker's threat if the ransom is not delivered. If the database is lost and they have to start from scratch -- big deal. If the database is lost AND in the hands of well paying criminals -- uh oh.
2) Anyone who viewed "Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D" (With BRAND NEW 3D technology!!) knows that a crap film is a crap film no matter how many god damn dimensions it is viewed in.
I'm not sure how you got access to my research, but I'm not going to let you steal my idea for the interface to my next-gen MMO. Expect a call from my lawyers.
I took a gander at all the finalists of this contest and I felt like I could point out some problems with most of them. "Origin" had exceptional visuals but the voiceover suffered from poor pacing, another had a good script but Film School-esque visuals. I had a real soft spot for the French entry in a faux operating room - I watched it without subtitles, and I don't understand French. The image of a nurse-chasing Tux speaking an incomprehensible language had me cracking up, but I think it may have been too camp for the judges.
The winner by Armitay Tweeto is probably the most well rounded of the bunch, combining solid visuals with a solid voiceover and a really strong message: your freedom is waiting. Congratulations.
i think if the canoodlians cant make their own space ships they should take their robots and go back to wear they came from. there robot doesnt even have anything but an arm lol
It's an anecdote about a mysterious bird skin that the author was able to track not just to the original breeder but also to the facility the bird was donated to, who turned out to have a tissue sample that the researcher will be able to add to her database.
I suspect the reason she wrote about it is because successfully tracking the provenance of a skin might be an uncommon thing and the researcher would've had to "eye-ball" the skin for classification. Instead, she came out of it with a full history of the bird and an actual tissue sample.
From the article, the board seems to be non standard and accepts pure 12V dc as power, converting for peripherals. Whereas ATX PSUs provide 5v rails, and maybe another voltage, I forget.
As for the ports.. who knows what sort of monster KVM setup they have for all those nodes in a container. Perhaps PS/2 provided them with less complexity and more robustness compared to USB.
It's obviously an April Fool's prank, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was an entire book dedicated to the more obscure uses of cat and differences between GNU cat and others.
My logic for this is reading about netcat, being completely bewildered, and being even more completely bewildered when the description of sample command lines read that it "works just like cat!"
Maybe that's why I love the internet? It's kind of above this bullshit.
It was above this bullshit. Ask a Canadian what they think of Hulu and you'll get a response similar to a Cosmanaut speaking about American made space toilets.
I have no mod points, but the links in the actual story have zero information on actually running a scan. I'm scanning my office network right now solely because of this comment.

Dear Sir ,
I am Plmber, joe, the Represenative in charge of Auditing and Accounting section of AIG of USA with due respect and regards. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to Bernie MAdoff who died on March 12 in a hunting accident and the fund has been dormant in his/her account with this bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself to enable the whole transactions and idea be splendid and successful during the time of execution.
The said amount was USD$ 5000000,Five Million. I am overjoyed to say that with the introduction of internet and Website, I was opportune and lucky to have come across your Contact through this satellite media. As it may Interest you to know, Meanwhile all the arrangement to put claim over this asset as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place.
Directives and needed information will be forwarded to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to helpfully assist us and also benefit your self through this amazing business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because Of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to claim a foreign account, this is the actual reason why it will require a intermedary Or consultant who will forward claims as the next of kin. With affidavit of trust to this bank and also Present a foreign account where he will need the money to be retransfer into. I will not fail to assure you that this transaction is 100% cromulent.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 14% of the total Sum as gratification, while 3% will be set aside upon conclusion, to take care of expenses that may arise during the time Of transfer both local and international like shipping, bribes, e.t.c, while 78% will be for me and my partner.
Please, you have been advised to keep very confidential as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this stunning deal with you. I will be watch the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages indicated and to discuss incredible investment opportunities, either in your country or any country you helpfully advise us to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you When I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me on my private e-mail address: princeamir@worldzia.ua as Soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.
In other words, we have a battery backed cache, if the battery is low or nearing end of life the cache is turned off and all writes are made when the data changes.
A capacitor would probably have enough juice to do an emergency flush of the cache without wearing out like a battery. I am not an electrical engineer.
.. always seem fun and then never seem to go anywhere. Anyone else remember psDooM? Blast away unwanted processes with a shotgun? Sounds great, right?
Well.. turns out, when you actually want to terminate a process, Windows Task Manager, or ps & kill are vastly more efficient, effective, and obvious tools to do the job.

Whooops.
Yes.
No.

This article from American Journalism Review will show you that the practice is perhaps controversial, but common.
Maybe not in the United States..
Maybe this will finally be able to run Vista.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these. (SLI?)
Does it run Linux?
A reference design and one shipping product qualify as a "handful"?
Neat story tho, I'm looking forward to the first netbook with this chipset.
What the hell, Slashdot? My front page is an RSS feed now?

Someone is uninstalling his app without making it past the sign-in stage, and he's bitching about the 1-star rating he gets.
All apps get the same treatment, sounds fair to me.
