Ads are not a terrible thing. Sometimes they are even of value. I always look at the ads in Circuit Cellar magazine, CycleWorld, Motorcyclist, Rider, and other magazines that I read. The key to have ads that people do not want to block. No animation or sound and keep them relatively small and I will read them. If they blink or move then ad blocker goes into full force.
Slashdot actually has a really good community but a tough one to force ads on. The problem would be getting people to white list Slashdot.
I was mainly commenting on the "Tech is good and future is hopeful" story line vs the CGI or not. A good story and acting mean more than CGI or not to me.
The problem is cost. Back in the day you put up an antenna and got free TV. Now thanks to cable companies their are fewer and fewer network stations. I live in a town of over 200,000 people and I can get one network OTA and like 14 channels. If their was no cable companies I would get all the major networks because they have made deals with those small stations. Now the stations get to double dip. They charge the cable companies and show commercials. The Cable companies also get to double dip and bundle channels you don't want to subsidize the ones that you do. I would bet you big bucks that a lot of people wouldn't pay what ESPN is asking. I can tell you that OTA HD is so much better than the recomppessed crap on cable. If you live in a good sized city or near one I really suggest getting a cheap set of rabbit ears and see what you can get OTA. You may be shocked.
" Computers with natural language engines are, and they are searching for and generating patterns. Human beings come in long afterwards. They don't get to read your mails, what they get is a summary of your preferences, opinions, buying habits, and probably some kind of score indicating (depending on who is doing the spying) if you're a good customer, a potential terrorist, have the right political agenda, etc. etc." Funny but I doubt that the government cares too much about your buying habits.
I said this about 15 years ago and I will say it again. Anyone that thinks that normal email or posts on the internet are private is just dumb. An email is as private as a postcard. It is open text and always was. Get encryption or just accept that email is not private. Phone calls and mail is private and has protections. IMs and TXTs I am not sure if they are protected or not. What you post on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and or Slashdot is so not private and if you think that it is well.... As far as advertisers. Well I am all for targeted ads. I want more ads about motorcycles, model aircraft, computers, and camping and less about adult diapers and viagra.
But it is true. Today we are in the "technology is bad" frame of mind and the "Technology is destroying the planet" mode of though. But it is only because of modern tech that people have enough resources and security to care about nature. When you depend on your flocks to keep your family feed nothing sounds better than killing every apex predator in sight. No more wolfs or mountain lions? And the problem with this is. Too many deer and rabbits? Not if I shoot them and eat them. If you look at older cultures you will see ecological disaster after disaster. Technology is the only way out our problems. Even solar and wind turbines are today pretty high tech devices.
The HD2 is no longer available new as far as I know. Just Google HD2 and Linux, HD2 Android, HD2 WP7 and so on. You will see it is about the most hackable phone around and has a big community. I make nothing but if you want a hackable phone today with good if not great specs this is about the only choice.
umm. You do know that you can also run rsyslog at the same time. AKA not bridges need to be burned.... And if it worse people will not use it. They will use YUM to install rsyslog.
I would think that just writing a patch to Journal or forking Journal and adding that functionality would be a better solution but if that is what you want to do more power too you.
Well yes you can. If you read the post from the developer "My application needs traditional text log files on disk, can I configure journald to generate those? No, you can’t. If you need this, just run the journal side-by-side with a traditional syslog implementation like rsyslog which can generate this file for you." Just run journal and rsyslog and you have both systems in place. Untile journal does everything odds are that it will be run with rsyslog in parallel. A boots and suspender type of solution. if you want to have it also generate a traditional syslog I would think that adding that functionality wouldn't be all that hard. If needed someone will add that feature.
I consider it a must see. If you you are into aviatin then Fantasy of Flight, the EAA museum in Lakeland FL. And the navy air museum. In Pensacola are all very good. If oceanograph is of interest Harbor Branch in Fort. Enev Pierce is worth a stop. Thing is the US is really big. Even I listed in Florida would take several days in not a week.
Media deals. Publishing is just so odd and backwards when it comes to the modern world. You often have to get a different set of deals for every market. I do not if the EU would require just an EU deal or one per country. That is one of the reasons that the US is so important as a market. It is one big market.
What people really want are dumb pipes. Imagine if you could just get a data plan and then pick your VOIP carrier? And if you could just stream the video you wanted at home.. And that is just exactly what Comcast, AT&T and Verizon do now want you to do.
Well if they get into a knock down drag out fight with Microsoft and WP7 and or W8 tablets catch on they could be in big trouble. Samsung also makes PCs and laptops. They really don't want to make Microsoft angry.
Yep you have got to love this line "but even the commenters don't think that explanation flies." Because commenters or such trusted sources. The nuclear powers like Russia will know this isn't a nuclear armed ICBM since they will be part of an inspection protocol. Also these are so not "stealthy" to any of the major powers. They launch will have your typical IR bloom and then the rest of the flight will also shine very bright in IR. Space based systems will have no problem seeing these and compared to the flight time of an ICBM "around 30 minutes" or an SLBM "as low as 15 minutes" the two hour flight time is really long.
In other words WTH people. How about facts for a change,
Slashdot Mirror
Uranium works fine.
In other words the Air Force is acting like the Coast Guard for space.

When did you go to school? The 1800s?
If one is in a hacky sort of mood I would suggest
A Beagle Bone http://beagleboard.org/bone
and then add this http://redpinesignals.com/Products/Chipsets/RS9116.html
and maybe this http://search.digikey.com/us/en/products/ENC424J600T-I%2FPT/ENC424J600T-I%2FPT-ND/2126005
It is only 100Base-t but it would probably be good enough for the connection to your broadband.
Linux plus less power use. Of course a LOT more work.
The HD2 is no longer available new as far as I know.
Just Google HD2 and Linux, HD2 Android, HD2 WP7 and so on. You will see it is about the most hackable phone around and has a big community.

You mean like posting derogatory comments on slashdot?
I know maybe they can start an online campaign to get Firefly put back on the air.
I had not thought of that. You are correct that it might make a great tool after all.
Get an HTC HD2. It does seem to run everything.
Sorry not really.
Get an HTC HD2. It runs linux with a little hacking as well as Android, WM6.5, WP7, and probably AmigaOS..
I would think that just writing a patch to Journal or forking Journal and adding that functionality would be a better solution but if that is what you want to do more power too you.
You are ignoring that you can install rsyslog and run it and journal at the same time if need be.
You can have both styles of logs....
but what if it is actually better?
Well yes you can.
If you read the post from the developer
"My application needs traditional text log files on disk, can I configure journald to generate those?
No, you can’t. If you need this, just run the journal side-by-side with a traditional syslog implementation like rsyslog which can generate this file for you."

No reason why it couldn't except why have a home cordless? Cell+wifi+VIOP= home cordless.
