I have a twitter account and have never posted, a facebook account and never posted, a youtube and + account and never posed, xda account, yahoo groups, etc. I doubt I've posted on/. in years, but I still read every day. I'm a consumer. And to me these are more news services then social interactions. I post to reddit often, but usually drunk and those accounts don't last long...
I'm sure there's a lot we don't know about the story. But if there's 146 people in this "study group" then why is one person being targeted? Under most universities rules, if I had given you answers to an assignment, you would be just as guilty of cheating as I would. Simply organizing the group doesn't seem enough to single him out, as every one else still had to subscribe to the group. I agree thought, regardless, this _should_ come down to policy review and discussion.
I think the displays for the London busses can best be described as an estimate too. (or maybe just random numbers?) we all know the busses don't run on any sort of 'timetable'
I'm no expert on the GPL but this sounds correct to me. Which is probably why Mr. King is asking for "[any] peoplewhohavetouchedanyofthefollowingcode: -PCIsubsystem -IOresourceallocation", to come forward.
the 5 seconds it took to skim that site and decide it was a total waste of time was total worth having to look at that bloody ad that popped up for/. referrers. thanks!
If this site is unusably slow or does not load, you can get more information about MindCandy from Maz Sound. For ordering, check Fusecon's MindCandy ordering page.
This despite their consistent claims that cell phone radiation is harmless.
...they also put life jackets under your seat in large airplanes regardless of the fact that there's never been a case where they've been put to practical use.
How cost effective is it to go after every last person saying "Windows sucks!"?
Stating a personal opinion does not qualify as slander or defamation. What is against the law would be making false allegations. ie. Saying "Windows suck!" is different the saying "Bill Gates used my copyrighted code as the basis for MS windows." Now obvisly this would not hurth Bill's reputation in any way. But it is slander if it is a false statement or I had no way of proving it.
What DJ article said was that "Gutnick had been involved in various questionable financial dealings." (mycareer.com.au)
This is why often in the news people are "alleged" to have commited a crime.
You can't turn this into an ani-Americian flame war because that's not what it's about. US law protects business people from defamation just like ever other country.
Also, I'd like to think that it would not matter where the trial takes place. The man was either defamed or he wasn't. What is being questioned here are borders on the internet. A ruling in this case should set precidence internationally.
I think that if the defimation suit is justified then Gutnick should be given compensation for the harm the article has done. It shouldn't matter whether this was published in america on american servers. He obviosly had american business dealings or else the Dow Jones would not have written the article.
I am curious about whether anti-noise or noise cancellation could be a solution to the noise problem. I've read through half the posts and haven't seen it mentioned and I really don't know the state of the technology but i'm sure someone out there does.
Also there's sound deadening. At B-Quiet.com there's material about 1m thick that you can get 9 sq ft for $25. Could be worth a try. Line your case with it perhaps? They also give free samples...you could get together with your friends and do it for free!! ; )

yes
hardware's been hacked, the secret's out. but Sony got its restraining order against Geohot http://www.tekgoblin.com/2011/01/27/sony-wins-restraining-order-against-geohot/ , the new firmware's allready been hacked http://twitter.com/KaKaRoToKS/status/30458152793149440# , and I personally think the update had more to do with COD hacking http://www.ripten.com/2011/01/27/firmware-3-56-ban-hammer-hits-cod-hackers-hard-mauler/ . Might just make me think about playing it again.
agreed...slashdotters are not mechanics.

From a torrent freak article http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-team-charged-080131/: "The prosecution claims the site generates annual ad revenue of more than $4 million." Shouldn't take long to get over it then...
But all I have to say to either side is Prove It! Until then, I really couldn't care less who thinks what theory is correct.
..." absolutely, 100% false :)"

actually the Register report specifically states that, "None of the arrests are connected to the recent SQL Slammer Worm, the NHTCU states."
that is all,
