"Davis submitted his resignation on October 4, 2007..."
"Colonel Davis is not just any JAG officer. He was an up-and-comer widely viewed in his peer group as someone in line for a star, and ultimately perhaps, to be the Air Force’s Judge Advocate General. He is also no whining civil libertarian, but rather a no-nonsense conservative, whose prior scraps with civilians in the Pentagon came over the restraints they put on his ability to charge forward and prosecute cases."
The only reason this isn't happening is that the manufacturers want more money. The patients are basically asking for the data so that they can go wherever with it, do whatever with it, and that looks like dollar signs flying out the window to the manufacturers. What the patients might achieve with the data is irrelevant.

And if all the routers were open, who would that hurt? Not the children. It would be AT&T and Comcast, Sony and the rest. That's why the intimidation is so important to them. They know we don't actually need their overpriced, crappy services.
Somebody send the pope a copy of William Gibson's book, Idoru, where the main character wants to marry a computer character. That'll really get him going.
Seconded! Alpha baby is very neat if you own a Mac. http://alphababy.sourceforge.net/ You're on your own with protecting the computer from the toddler, however. Little fingers can pry up keys easily. You will definitely need to supervise.
CodeBuster is referring to this: http://www.sonomamarintrain.org/ It may not be "high speed" but everything else he said is accurate. The measure was passed with 3/4 of the vote, but it will be a miracle if we see any progress made before the ice-caps melt.
If all cars could do this, would we still need cell towers? If every single car on the road was an open mobile hot spot, wouldn't a lot of the services the telecoms currently charge a great deal for suddenly become nearly valueless? (Assuming range and bandwidth was decent, of course.)
"With bandwidth and storage increasing exponentially..." In the last ten years I've barely seen my bandwidth improve at all. Oh wait, he says he's in London. Maybe someday faster internets will come to America.
Switching to Dvorak worked for me. As a life-long Qwerty hunter and pecker, teaching myself to touch-type on Qwerty was too difficult.
Of course, by doing so you will freak-out other people who try to use your keyboard, but I actually enjoy that. Plus, it's easy to switch back and forth.
Considering that the post contains a link to a page that has a link to the trojan, I think we can all expect the trojan to be even more prevelant by Monday. Not sure who to be more upset with at this point: the people that wrote it, John Pospisil for posting a live link to the infected page (seriously, remove the href already), or kdawson for linking to Pospisil.

It's just a way that the owners of an archaic and dying business model dream of making their customers pay over and over for the same crappy product that is slowly losing the artificial value it once held. Distributing music is dirt cheap now. Suing college kids will only generate so much cash before some law students settle their hash in court once and for all.

Wouldn't bittorrent work well for podcasts? Seems like the perfect case but I've never heard of it being done.
You haven't really been following this story, have you?
The defense attorneys aren't military and some of them are quite outspoken against their client's treatment.

Does the CIA call for secrecy to protect our freedom or to cover its incompetence?

I'm simultaneously for and against this.
Schrödinger? Is that you?
And to be fair, Zappa was exposed to a lot of dubious chemicals as a child. Maybe the exposure to one or more of those can cause people to become iconic band-leaders.

True enough. But as far as thoughtful contributions to slashdot discussions go, CodeBuster could have done much worse.

Also, great article.
Should an autonomous car be called an auto-automobile?

Whatever you do, avoid discussing whether or not Dvorak or Qwerty is superior to the other. Dead-end conversation. http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/18/210216

Bye bye RIAA. It sucked knowing you.

I'm sure there must be other small businesses as well who would love to sell you an Ubuntu box. You just have to look a little harder.
