If Wired follows the acceptable ads rules they'll not be blocked on my ad-blocker anyway. This is all an excuse to migrate to subscription based business under the cover.
Apple should be allowed to charge a large sum, say a few thousand dollars for unlocking each phone. That would deter most of the casual requests and provide financial incentive to companies to aid in law enforcement.
Fake news just based on word of mouth. Take a look at the original article referenced in the referenced article and you'll know that not a single aspect of the news is verifiable. No company has been named. No people have been named. Just one person's statement has been bloated into a short article.
Some of the UI restrictions can be evaded just by pressing a special key like "shift" or "ctrl" while using the mouse and it does not require to disable javascript. I was so frustrated once that I copied the entire text from the page and posted it as a comment to tell them look, I can copy and paste.
No Muslim is terrorist at birth. They join such groups at some point of time in their lives. Thus even if a handful of them do so, it is needed to monitor activity of all of them so that such a transition can be discovered as it happens. This, however, is a costly process. A long term solution is to educate the public about the effect of fundamentalist religious ideas on the development of minds of our children. Passing on such ideas is a social disease that perpetuates itself. All we need is 'that one single generation' free of fundamentalist ideas.
Pickling in brine is very unhealthy as it increases sodium content of the food. Similarly smoking produces chemicals which not only control microbial growth but are harmful for human beings. Refrigeration is in fact a constructive technology. There is no benefit of labeling it as a destructive one.
It was a software hack to use macbook touchpad as pressure input device. I could discern 22 different levels of pressures which was more than enough to carry out deformation of free form 3d shapes. I read somewhere that the these days touchpads can easily detect 1024 different levels of pressure which is quite amazing if true.
The beauty of C++ is that it supports unlimited design patterns. Boost showcases so many of them. More are yet to be discovered. More will be made possible with future revision of the language.
I'm not a computer programmer or a software professional. Still I have not touched or used a windows system or installed windows on my personal / work computers for last 9 years. I was using Ubuntu for about 6 years and Ubuntu Gnome for another 3 years. I have no problem making excellent presentations, writing reports, documents (libreoffice), editing basic images (gimp), editing music (audacity), making basic 3d animations (blender), video editing (openshot/cinerella), making brochures (scibus) or even setting up my own server (apache). Everything is damn easy (software center/apt-get). I enjoy gaming sometimes (gbrainy/majongg/wesnoth/supertuxcart etc).
I don't install flash and youtube works. Over the time other video websites have automatically started working without flash.
Life continues and without privacy issues, security issues and hassle of maintaining an up-to-date antivirus, life is much better.
For last 9 years I've been using combination of Mac and Linux (Ubuntu Gnome). When I see people discussing these interesting features of their brand new versions of Windows... 7 then 8 and now 10, I sometimes wonder if I left Windows behind or is this really the case that Windows has left me behind.
i think it's time to recognize that a model of rights or no rights will soon be outdated and as more and more research happens in behavioral science, neuro science and evolutionary science, we'll soon be convinced that we have to assign varying grades of rights to different species according to their emotional and rational IQ.
No service is less important. There can be a dedicated line for emergency services. All other services are equally important from a humanistic point of view.
How can Mr. Snowden be not right when we are not yet ready put each and every action of our government (including security agencies) to a "democratic test"?
You didn't have to write such a long explanation to my small comment. Whatever you have written is all well known. JavaScript got its JIT module some time around 2008-2009 while PHP is still trying to locate the axle. JavaScript is beautiful not just from the programming point of view but also as an embedded language in virtually any software developed in any programming language. You are correct that Node.js is still getting there but only time will tell what will dominate the already divided market.
Let an author release first book in public domain. If readers really like that work, there will be enough fans to fund the next work which can again be released in public domain (as it has already been paid for).
Had this model been an ancient and well established old model of publishing all works of art there was never a need of IP or any domain other than public domain.
By the time they receive our signal, our Sun would have eaten us up. Of course those bacteria would be more interested in newly discovered sexual mode of reproduction than our signal falling on them and would be hoping to completely switch over to the new mode before their sun eats them up.
If you are one of those kinds who easily blend with younger people then it's fine but you don't have to be one like that if you are not already that otherwise it's going to be an disaster.

No thanks dear Mr. Wolfram. I'm happy with Python and Sage.

And I wonder how this fallacious argument (the original post) got approved to be highlighted on Slashdot!

What if vendor is FCC licensee. The system would fail as now vendor can willfully do anything. Open sourcing the firmware is the only REAL solution.

Just an observation: Windows 10 release has been placed exactly in the midway (July) between Ubuntu releases (April and October).

Reed-solmon is theoretically best. I hope this new encoding is practically better than Reed-Solmon.

Why not use Node.js that has already got the wheel (JIT) rather than drilling holes in PHP to fit an axle?
It would be stupid to continue with Spreadsheet and not realizing that SQL was a better choice.
