So in otherwords, you're talking about basic Kerberos Authentication we've had since Windows 2000, and MIT invented in the 1980's. Wow, amazing stuff. Using this new pioneering technology, we'll be able to finally treat individual services, functions and resources in those services as "security resources" that are controlled by access tokens verified and given out by a "domain controller."
They refused to allow the story through the submission pipeline for the first WEEK that the story was brewing, and when people wrote about it in other stories (their only discussion venue left on this site), those people got down moderated to nothing.
The funny thing about Freedom Of Speech (yes, I know the Bill of Rights doesn't apply to businesses), is that its sole purpose is to protect offensive speech. Why? Because inoffensive speech doesn't need to be protected.
Contrast that with Reddit, and you'll see why people are furious. Because their practices contradict the values that many people in the USA grow up with. "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
Lastly, some interesting people have commented that what Reddit has done is take a bunch of toxic subreddits with their toxic members and instead of them being contained to their echo chamber, they've now been forced back into the wild with all of the rest of the members. In effect, their strategy to "reduce harassment" will actually increase harassment.
I agree with most criticism of Reddit but THIS has one error. MODS cannot hand out shadowbans. ONLY administrators, who are "paid" (probably minimum wage) to sift through anything someone clicks the "report" button on.
If you're on company time, you can be fired for anything you do. If it's your phone, outside of company time you can do whatever you want. If it's their phone, it's their rules for their phone all the time.
It's pretty simple, really.
However, one thing I will NOT DO, is ever attach my own phone to an exchange server and allow it to have permission to control literally everything on my phone, from disabling wifi, access to the camera, to forcing a operating system reset. When I first got my phone and that prompt popped up I thought, "You've got to be kidding me. This is real?"
Dude, you realize half the people that voted for Obama did so to keep Sarah Palin out of office? What alternative did you think we had? A race between Obama VS a clone of George Washington, and we chose Obama because he's black?
We ABSOLUTELY should make allowances in our "compete to be the first to take offense" culture for men and women like this. We shouldn't just care about the handicapped people that make us feel better about ourselves, or make us feel pity ("Aww, look at the wheelchair kid."). There are just as many people who are handicapped and are NOT pleasant to be around, but they're still people inside.
I started checking out his videos and he most certainly has something wrong in there (a VICE article mentions he has schizophrenia), and while the words he uses would offend most people, I don't think it's out of calculated malice at all. He really doesn't seem to be "all there." He has trouble putting sentences together, repeats himself. He believes God tells him to do this, and that, and speaks very casually about having a direct connection to desire of God.
IIRC, Schizophrenia is a disease where you're adapt at finding connections and relationships between ideas (like a typical smart or genius person) but the difference here is that the connections are false. Like "the Jews," "the blacks", "the Illuminati" or whatever are controlling X/Y/Z. Hence they tend to be vary paranoid because it's easy for them to put together connections (someone looks at you as you drive by == government is spying on them) that aren't there.
If we truly want to understand other people (and we should), we have to allow for the fact we're going to find a lot of uncomfortable ideas and actions. But trying to understand someone who is broken doesn't make us broken. They're not an actual threat to us and our ideals. Reaching out, and understanding these people is far more important than protecting "need" to feel comfortable in our environment. The only other option is to completely ignore and deny they exist at all.
Here's a thought. Major in a career that pays itself back. And then when you have a REAL job, and your bills are paid, take part-time classes in anything you damn well please that "educates you" for as long as you like. You seem to think that education is something that happens in your teens and early 20's, and ends when you graduate college.
Alternatively, if you don't mind having a low wage your entire career being in something as over-populated under-demanded as Art History:
If you went to a state school to begin with (the state pays typically HALF); and your parents weren't jackasses and actually contribute the expected funds (see Expected Family Contribution), you should be able to work part-time (or not at all) and have ZERO student loans at the end.
The only people taking out loans should be people with super promising careers (Doctors, Lawyers, child prodigies going to super schools), and people whose parents are cheap bastards who don't mind getting a tax break for their children and not using that money to pay for their children's college.
They should have gotten degrees in gender studies. At least inbetween serving coffee, they'd still get plenty of national news attention as well as a spotlight on Slashdot every week.
Uhh... Microsoft is also an operating system company. Which is why their Office products have only been for Windows Phone up until they realized nobody wanted one.
It's entirely possible that Google intentionally takes a smaller MARGIN on the Android revenue. Which could be them intentionally trying to help the Android market flourish with lower costs.
I've posted elsewhere in this thread so I can't mod you up, but I have to say that's a pretty insightful comment. It may be wrong, since I myself definitely went out of my way for an Android. But you certainly could be representing a different demographic than I'm used to.
I recently got a Galaxy S5 for me, and my wife got a cheapish LG L90. She was telling her younger, teenage sister about her phone. She mentioned the LG L90 and her sister went "Meh." then she mentioned my phone was an S5 and her sister went "Really?!?!".
I'm officially an old fart because I don't see what's "cool" about a phone. But she definitely thought my phone was.
The article reads like an Android hit piece.* The ONLY thing Android has to do is wait for Apple to slip up. ONE bad PR move and people flock to the competitor. One story of an Apple contractor selling user secrets to China and poof.
Remember Intel's Itanium failure? AMD swept in with x64 and their Athlon 64 and owned the market place for the first time in their competitive history. Unfortunately, AMD then had a huge failure of their own (somewhere around Bulldozer) and Intel went right back to washing the floor with them.
Remember when Apple gave away a free U2 album and their users were furious? They were furious because it was hidden from them and done without consent--not that they were getting something free. Something as small as that drove people away from Apple because of what it represented: It showed that upper management at Apple didn't understand your privacy or will at all.

Wikipedia has had lots of high profile problems lately, like when they refused to let the author of a book, correct the Wikipedia entry about his own book. BUT, he could write a blog post, and then LINK to that post, and it'd be okay because it's somehow more verifiable.
It also has lots of problems with hardcore progressives / gender warriors (::cough::slashdot owners::cough::) going ape-shit on all of the gender-related articles and reverting, censoring, and forcing out anyone who disagrees with the people who squat on those pages. So the highest user council on Wikipedia eventually had to ban them from editing those articles. At which point, the progressives cried censorship!
Wikipedia has passed its high point of reliability, now that people realize they can control it for their political agendas.
The AC brings up a good point. You bastards never give us a break when we have to decide between a giant douche and a turd sandwich, so why should we give you one?
I don't care if Hot Topic owns them. I rarely buy anything from ThinkGeek anyway with their "Best Buy"-level price markups. I can't imagine them raising their prices much more for something as silly as a "USB powered Pacman LED lamp" at $32... plus $7.00 shipping (more than it actually costs to ship).

Or Slashdot 2.0. Or Digg 2.0.
Ah, the circle of internet life continues...
Except I voted for Ron Paul, he failed at the primaries, and we were left with Palin and McCain.
Is there anyone left here old enough to vote, or understand the absolute most fundamental and basic tenants of how elections work in the USA?
Are you too young to remember 2007, or just incredibly stupid?

I for one, support our new Dice overlords being hanged.
You're joking but THEY ALREADY DID IT.... in 2013! High frame rate, stereo, and 4K editions. Talk about planning ahead!
Remember when Dick Cheney declared himself to be his own branch of government so he wasn't subject to law?
Dude, you realize half the people that voted for Obama did so to keep Sarah Palin out of office? What alternative did you think we had? A race between Obama VS a clone of George Washington, and we chose Obama because he's black?
I love that Slashdotters are all about VR, but "nobody can see 4K" and "there's no point in going above that."
Meanwhile, their 1080p 5" phone has a dot pitch 10 times their 1080p TV and they don't go "man, I wish the screen was lower resolution."
They sure have a fickle love of new technology.

Duh. A domain identified as malicious gets banned universally on Facebook. Not on a single protocol level.
If you saw one IP address pelting your computer with spam, would you block a single port, or the whole damn thing?
