Actually, I really do read it for the articles. The pictures are nice, but stories of things like the high schol kid who murdered someone just to see if he could and the info on future combat gear are erally neat. But no, they don't have tech articles, they have sections about new cool stuff. This was in both of those. How much tech do you need to know about a knife with a USB drive attached?
you know you're on the cuting edge of technology when Stuff and Maxim have both already covered your articles in print. come on, this is retarded. raise your hand if you didn't already hear about this. everyone else, reach over and smack those people.
Why not just return fire? I propose some "hactivism" against these jerkoffs. Luckily, you have to modify the script to make it work, so a lot of potential users won't understand what to do.
1) don't go to defcon, it's over. there hasn't been a good con for years
2) if you fail to adhere to recommendation 1, don't bring your girlfriend. it's a very trying place as it is.
3) if you fail to go with either recommendation, make sure you have a strong liver and a desire to not get anything useful out of a very expensive weekend
Defcon died after 9, I'm just said it took me 'til 11 to fully realize it.

#2 pretty much states that what moore does is not a documentary. What he does is "crockumentary." There's a huge gap in between.
disney told them a year ago it would not distribute the film. they have been telling miramax the same thing, many times, during the whole production. disney owns the distribution channels that miramax has to use. disney has every right to want to save face with anyone who has interest in it (public, private investors, government relationships, etc).
moore and co knew this from the beginning. this is a conspiracy drummed up to gain media attention. moore is a bastard and a glutton who lives off the minds and pockets of the weak. check this out:
you're right, we shouldn't address his work based on his girth. moore's crockumentary* has no merit because it's a lying piece of shit. his words become meaningless the minute he decides to defend them by asking why you need to find fact in "comedy." his poor man's savior facade is killed when you look at how much he charges to speak, the planes he demands he fly on, the hotels he requires he stay in and when he charges the parents of children kill in columbine to prescreen his film he makes about them. moore is a piece of shit and nothing more.
nope, no tabs. but there is an option to "show original" which will pop up a new window and give you plaintext of the message. i know, it's not the same, but it's better than nothing. you can always send suggestions to the gmail team.

First you complain about Google not being able to remove all of your data. When was the last time you removed a user and made sure to trash all your HDs and burn all of the tape backups that held any of that user's data?
Then come the privacy concerns about people's mail being read. How many of you have implemented SpamAssassin or a virus scanner at your place of business or a shell server you run? Don't these both actively read the content of people's mail and actively use that data for beneficial purposes?
OMG OMG OMG OMG! COOKIES! Yes, there are cookies. There are cookies on/., there are cookies with hotmail, there are cookies all over the damn web. Do you think Google is the only company that can potentially use cookies to track you across their site? Has Google explicitly stated that they're going to do this? How can you bitch about something that has no foundation. Cookies aren't crazy little gnomes that no one can take apart and understand. Wait 'til it comes out, analyze the cookie, then complain if warranted.
Oh wait! Another company already has a 1G e-mail service available to the public! I think people are missing the point somewhere. While the 1G limit is the icing on the cake, I don't think that's what Google really cares about. How innovative is 1G? I think the actual product that Google wants people to get excited about is the their ability to take something mundane that has been done many times and make it innovative and more useful to end users. (holy crap, you mean like what they did with search technology?!)
You can all whine and complain and EU can bust a nut all over themselves about theoretical privacy problems... or you can wait until you get your own account to pass judgement. All you have right now is the cover and you're already complaining about the book and calling it's author a hack.
actually, if you want to get technical, they still didn't beat google to the punch. while it's not in wide use yet, i've had my account since april 2nd. seems as though they were two days behind.
by the way, it's not the amount of space that's all that interesting. space is cheap and readily available. the mail system is quite unique.
poor old John? obviously you've never seen him at "parties" or your old roommates birthday party. "ummm... who's the creepy old guy who showed up and keeps hitting on kids?" "oh that? that's crunch. light up a smoke and he'll go away." Crunch lost the hacker title long ago and has been demoted to "creepy old pervert."
i can't stand all the damn liberals. were it up to them, we'd all be living off of tufo and wearing hemp. CA has some of the most insane environmental laws i've ever heard of. if you really want to live without all the fun things that make living in such a technologically advanced place fun, move to a rain forest. i'm from CA, i like my gas guzzler, i don't care about the trees, i voted for bush and arnold. please don't think all of us are hippies.
While working for a company, we had a really old RH (yes, I know, not my choice) machine that was used as our primary code repository. During my time as the SysAdmin, I proposed, on many occasions, things to make the machine more reliable. Due to certain circumstances, we couldn't upgrade a lot of things. After 3 years of service, the company started really went into the toilet and I was laid off.
Three weeks later, they had broken the machine and couldn't fix it. So they hired me back as a conssultant to fix the machine and make it so it wouldn't happen again. At that point, my credibility shot up 100 fold and my opinion was finally taken as "expert." I had proven, in the past, my competence but the risks involved were deemed to great (even though I had proven the safety of the changes). Since I was an "expert," I was able to present my case and force the situation.
I figure, if they're hiring out, because they can't do it themselves, your word should be next to the word of god (no, I'm not religious). Don't allow them to compromise your future credibility, by not pushing your case. If they force you to do something that you feel is wrong, it could come back to bite you in the arse. At the very least, push your case strongly and inform them that not accepting you as the "expert" means that you cannot be held liable.

you sure? i though it was simply an every other week decision. maybe every other thursday...
have you read that book yet? very interesting. i'm a big moorewatch.com fan. it's amazing what that sack of shit gets away with/
this was discussed at defcon, was on bugtraq within a day or two of that and now you're calling it news?

michael moore and his agent have both said it. that makes it true, right?

1) why would they have a prank going for this long? don't you think it would damage their reputation?
2) do you understand who colm works for?
3) is there any way this could proved to you people who still, for some crazy ass reason, think this is fake?
4) have you seen the blog from the UI developer?
well aren't you going to feel stupid, they day you get an @gmail account. can i be one of the people who screams "i told you so?"
