Considering the amount of effort in getting a job there, the hours worked, and the cost of living in Mountain View, I think that roughly equals minimum wage. Maybe they need a software engineers' union.
My kid sucks at chemistry and, like all pussy-ass parents today, I don't have the heart to tell him that he's not incredible at everything (and don't want to risk him finding out by taking a class where he doesn't get an automatic "A").
With the exception of Tivo, I've yet to see any of these new DVR's I keep hearing about lately even mention if they work with cablecards or switched digital video. If not, what the hell would I buy one for?!? My cableco and all of the satellite networks encrypt pretty much ALL their channels now (and my cableco uses SDV extensively too). WTF good does a DVR do me if all I can get on it are a handful of over-the-air channels?
And as far as connecting to online services, big fucking deal. My Xbox, TV, and even blu-ray player already do that. And even if this wasn't a standard feature on pretty much everything sold today (pretty sure it will be built into my next refrigerator too), I could buy a Roku box for $60 that will do that.
Can someone please tell me what market these things are aimed at (or if any of them beside Tivo *do* actually support cablecards and SDV)?
I just want to know where they're going to find cloud services lining up to host TPB. Seems like a sure-fire formula to have the police kicking down your door.
At the end of the day, you need an IP address, and physical server(s) somewhere. The only way to make yourself invulnerable is to take yourself off the net completely, and that would rather defeat the purpose, no?
Exactly, a hacker should be tried in the country WHERE THEY ACTUALLY DID THE HACKING. That's pretty basic. I certainly wouldn't expect the FBI to put a U.S. hacker on a plane to the UK for hacking some server there. The crime was committed at a terminal in the UK, and that is where it should be tried.
My son is really interested in robotics and hardware stuff. Is there some site out there that has a list of components and accessories for sale (like robotic arms, led displays, etc.) that will work out of the box with Raspberry Pi's? I've seen a few of these for other prototyping hardware controllers, but the prices were a bit steep.

Hey now, I have it on good authority that over half of the /. editorial staff can now say their ABC's without even humming the song.

I thought the Libertarian candidate was Mitt Romney.
Will no gentleman stand forward to represent the people on the slavery issue?!?

That is what happens when you don't do what the U.S. tells you to.

Someone isn't paying for that in BitCoin.

Well, you earned you paycheck for today, shill. Go take the rest of the day off and rest beside the pool.
I thought they were all already mentally ill to begin with.
There are companies that dont treat you like a slave?
They're rumored to exist--in the same way Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster are too.
I guess in the new version, they'll all just get busted the second they skip out on school. That won't make for a very interesting movie.
I don't know, but why always a congressman sticks his nose in something it starts smelling fishy.
Maybe because Congressmen rarely do anything when they don't have a direct vested interest in the corporation involved.
It's probably completely unrelated to the fact that Google has a huge presence in Boulder, CO now.
If I shoot someone from across a border, where was the crime committed?
Where the person pulled the trigger and actually committed the crime, unless you think getting shot is a crime too.

Agreed. He is probably guilty, but he should be tried in the UK, for the crimes he committed THERE, not in the U.S. (where he's never even been).
It means he should have gotten a third party to help proof his review.
gut feelings say a tiny little car hit by an SUV is going to go splat.
I'm pretty sure that's more than a gut feeling. More mass = more boom boom.
No one told them that bigger isn't always better.
The era of governments using malware as part of their standard military/security/intelligence arsenal has arrived.

The difference is that the WWII planes could only do it in a near-suicidal dive. The X-1 could do it intentionally, under normal powered flight.
