If she did not have access to his profile (being blocked) and he rants about her, isn't this the exact same as getting drunk down at the pub with some mates and doing the whole "I never liked her anyway, she was a bitch" rant? This order seems to say that you aren't allowed to rant or complain about anyone; under penalty of the law.
All other certs are undervalued by dumps. Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco - you name it, all you need to do is buy or torrent the questions online, memorize the answers, and go in and take the test.
Just today I did just that for my Microsoft MCITP cert exams. I'm familiar with the whole lot, been working with servers for many years now, but most of the questions in the exam has very little to do with day-to-day workings or even deployment of servers in most cases. Memorizing the answers is the only way to know you are going to pass the cert exam. I understand why these certificates are undervalued though, since anyone with no intimate knowledge of server environments can memorize a few terms and technologies and be certified. Thankfully my resume has years of references and now (finally) certifications to back it up.
Reading Slashdot every day is starting to make me wonder if I'm allowed to do anything besides spend all my money and work (for less) without getting sued or arrested for copyright, patent, counterfeiting, or violating some all encompassing do-what-I-say law.
Try looking at it from the other side, this security "feature" is a massive time and money saver for wireless device manufacturers. I've worked in retail, and wireless/adsl devices have the highest return rate out of any product sold. Not becuase of faults with the products, but because they "don't work" when the users plugs it in and expects it to go. People don't want to follow instructions, or learn how to use it. Some use the toll-free help hotline provided by the manufacturer. Most retailers will refund to product rather than bother trying to set it up for the end user. By adding WPS users suddenly have a one button setup feature, manufacturers now have reduced the number returns AND the number of support calls they need to deal with. Regardless of the security of WPS, if it improves the bottom line; what do they care?
I see people asking what practical value overclocking has. Why do people tune up cars? Superchargers? They do it because they can, not because "Hey, I can reach the speed limit 5% faster". It's a hobby, something fun to do. It's not about how much you spend, or if you are going to really benefit from that 600Mhz boost. It's all about the point of view, whitewashing it as a dick waving contest, or trying to apply a practical need to it is pointless really.
Just as some illicit drugs can be used for perfectly legitimate medical uses. There are still laws that regulate those, banning a technology may hinder legitimate usage, but who says they won't try and regulate P2P in a similar fashion.
Anyone with half a brain knows that these services were created for the purpose of sharing copyrighted material. Sure they don't condone these actions officially, but they are certainly going to look the other way when it happens. As much as I hate the music/film industry, to defend these services saying that they are innocent and only intend for their networks to be used for legal purposes is lying to themselves. Who used Limewire, kazzaa, etc to download thier linux distros instead of the latest pop album or poorly recorded movie that came out in cinemas last week? The nuetral network defense only goes so far, and I doubt the swarm of lawyers are going to give up just yet.
Somehow I suspect these "Chinese characters" were just random ASCII characters you tend to see when a client with a corrupt printer driver tries to print.
When some security official comes around asking about anything suspicious, John Executive takes to opportunity to jump up and do his part for national security!
Did the shelf life of XP and 7 just increase?
I remember when Windows 7 was just coming on the horizon of release, Microsoft pushed "Buy Vista now, upgrade to 7 for free when it comes out!" - They did it for Office 2010 as well. Chances are if they do this offering again with Windows 8, a lot of end-users will be unwittingly hooking into the Microsoft cloud.
With the recent nuclear crisis in Japan, perhaps Gates has found another upcoming market to invest in.

So instead of burglars breaking your window to steal your gadgets, do they just steal your window?

I hope the commercial airlines hear about this and inform their pilots of bring an atlas!
