my guess on this is NK, because of the ongoing hostilities. they are surprisingly advanced at cyber stuff. i think war will eventually happen, after which SK will have to absorb the impoverished north into a single country, and try to maintain their own standard of living!
I think my mods on this thread and your mods show that the majority of slashdotters are in agreement, correctness matters. virus != all teh evilz! Virus = virus, trojan = trojan. Don't want a trojan? don't install one! btw apple has already blocked this in their malware file, so it's no longer a problem (mountain lion, and lion too I think).
doubleplus good. there's a whole world of knowledge out there, and we have so little time to appreciate it. is this your top priority? do you play a musical instrument? know how to cook fine foods?
here's the deal though: the things that congress actually does in chambers - voting, whatnot - are like 2% of their actual jobs. The other 98% are meetings, etc. you cant do this from palooka MT.
THe Ghostery plug in accomplishes the same thing... It automatically blocks trackers against a big black list. Something cool, it does a subtle pop up wheyou visit a page listing all the trackers on that page. Eye opening, for sure! Some pages,a dozen different trackers! I know Ghostery is available for safari, not sure about other browsers.
Hmm. This would have absolutely *nothing* to do with the fact that posting your comment in its correct (top level, end of thread chronological) position would have been much less favourable to its prominence than as an off-topic "reply" to the highest-placed "leaf comment" in the thread... would it?
umm, duh? What's the point of making an awesome comment if it gets buried at the bottom and nobody reads it?

seriously, though, I have a stand-alone box (not connected to the internet) in my office running windows XP for a specific application. Neither the application nor the OS will be updated going forward, but I'll be able to run these XP-only processes forever. For chrome, once it's gone, I'm forced to transition. This is a MAJOR difference about chrome that people dont recognize! We talk about not investing in cloud applicaitons, but what about an entire cloud computer!!!
For the most common 2-factor authentication in place today (e.g. if you enable for Gmail) the authenticating entity sends a code to your device in order to tie this to something that you have (your phone) and thereby introduce the possession factor.
I would say the most common 2-factor authentication is at the ATM, where you need to present your ATM card and enter your pin.
Asking for people to behave rationally may not always be the easy way, but in my experience it is almost always worth doing. I think as a species we'd be a lot better off if everyone valued rationality highly, so I think we should encourage that in everyone.
glass houses, my friend... could your life undergo such scrutiny? Would you want to be faced with the determinations of such an evaluation?
that's not a real solution though, because if you've been using the chromebook for several years then all of your work and workflow are going to be in the google ecosystem. if they shut that off, then sure you can install linux or whatever, but that's the same thing as getting a new computer. you're stuck at starting from square 1. So the problem of losing your computer still exists, with the benefit of computer recycling / lower up-front costs for a new computer.
I won't be using Google+, or Google Docs, or or Google Drive, or Keep, or Google's NIK software, or Chrome, and definitely not a Chromebook, since any of these can disapear or be rendered unusable on a whim.
The last item is most important - unlike most products, the chromebook costs real money. If google throws a switch on their side (in 4 years, or 10 years, or whatever) the chromebook becomes a paperweight. I wonder if when you buy a chromebook if you get some guaranteed period of service?
dude, my approach is, so what? somebody worked hard to get a little pot of money, and wants to use the money on something that makes him happy. audiophile stuff makes him feel happy. it wouldn't make me feel happy for the price, but who am i to tell him otherwise? Life got a lot easier once i let people be their own people.
i thought the whole point of slashdot posts is that it was a free-for-all, self-moderated through the mod point / threshold approach. they also limit posting from people with low karma (not filtering by post content, but just quieting the low karma people). also, you can block ACs while not changing your viewing threshold. There are many options!
although personally I don't like the posting limits on low karma people. I think this encourages slashdot group-think, where if you speak up against whatever ideas are generally popular (android, google) or speak for unpopular peeps (MS, apple sometimes) you get downvoted and essentially shushed by low karma. This has frustrated me in the past.
tldr, don't give up hope! make a new id, filter reasonably, and enjoy!
I dont understand the arguments about the burden of tracking tax rates. you already calculate shipping rates to every address in the world! in real time! I bet you use a payment processor? Surely there will rise several sales tax management services.

come on, nobody really believes that this was a bank IT error, right? Obv the chinese struck a deal / strongarmed SK to throw its own under the bus.
I thought all IP addresses are unique?

thanks for the link, this was interesting and new to me. ironically, the DMCA takedown notice includes over a thousand links to offending material...

I'd played it a few times on the NES (which had migrated to my grandmother's house),

I'm going to forecast the headlines:
"Google doesn't keep Google Keep"
"What's keeping Google from keeping Google Keep?"
"Keep on keeping: Google keeps Google Keep (for now)"
