I don't think it's a second currency needed as much as there needs to be an organizer for small change transactions... there's a reason why candy bars went to $1 or more, allowing a 40 cent transaction via debit card isn't profitable. PayPal's an example of such a thing, but it's reputation has been trashed in the past.
Slate is the national online magazine that the Post bought from Microsoft about a decade ago. So, it's a co-owned property. Seems like they programed the Post's website whenever a title is mentioned, link to the appropriate Amazon page.
Bitcoin is falling in value so rapidly that it doesn't work. Ads are still the best way of paying for content, other than Slashdot-style subscriptions.
LimeWire's problem was that it never had legal content... there was nobody willing to pay the content providers, just downloaders taking what they could. Without a good "that's my content, pull it down" system, it's not legal and the authorities will pull it down.
Well, it's the weekend when US business isn't doing anything... I'm not sure who declared it "China Day on Slashdot" but it's not that unusual to have a SlowNewsDay on a Saturday.
Yep... WWW stands for World Wide Web meaning public servers... if you have to know the person you're contacting via the Internet, that can be HTTP or whatever protocol you're using, but that's not WWW.
Yesterday, Slashdot ran this story about China moving data inside the borders, and therefore presumably inside the firewall... it seems like they could turn the firewall off if they have everything they want there already.
We seem to have a bunch of things failing somewhat on the same day... is Cisco effectively saying "We're taking back what you have... please pay more!"?
GMail doesn't accept all comers. Get too many complaints and they'll reject you... this is just new ideas to add to that filter. There's a list of words you can't say on GMail without it getting read, they don't publish those lists because that'll never be said to them.
This is why we have a Nexus database. You can't destroy old news reports... you can just make them expensive. If you're reported about truthfully, there's nothing you can do about it. If you're reported about wrongly, then new reports will retract once you prove the initial report wrong.
That's exactly how the LTE system works these day... those who use too much are billed or throttled depending on what provider and rate card they subscribe to.
I have plenty of idea how a mobile connection works... I explained GSM to people who were arguing over TDMA and CDMA in at Syracuse University....
There's a big difference between anything wireless and wired connections. Wired will always be faster to transmit data, wireless will always be faster to deploy.
Think of how many TV channels you get over broadcast, compared to how many you can get over cable. Think of why DirecTV has to do more compression work (and degrade when weather is in the way) compared to cable TV. Wire allows an entire set of frequencies to be used. wireless is limited because it can't interfere with other things.
I don't think people like to be forgotten unless they've done something bad... and bad shouldn't have the right to be forgotten.
I think this right to be forgotten is by people who want to control the news, as having knowledge of the non-historic past in the news is power... it allows people to discover how things were solved elsewhere and solved before, and that allows good to triumph over bad.
Sorry bad, everything said in public that was captured and on an record should be available cheaply... the present price of old news is too high!

The thing is, blocking Slashdot ads can cause you to miss things. I wouldn't know about UDoo or their obvious problem without that ad.
Bitcoin is falling in value so rapidly that it doesn't work. Ads are still the best way of paying for content, other than Slashdot-style subscriptions.
Ad blockers repel content providers....
So apparently Washington Post has joined the Amazon Affiliates program.... that's so 1990s of them!

Proxying actually increases bandwidth under a cap... what you actually want is somebody else to run a wire to the Internet for you.

Yep... WWW stands for World Wide Web meaning public servers... if you have to know the person you're contacting via the Internet, that can be HTTP or whatever protocol you're using, but that's not WWW.
Firewall knock downs require two sides... somebody wanting the content, and somebody willing to send the content in a way that passes the firewall.
Yesterday, Slashdot ran this story about China moving data inside the borders, and therefore presumably inside the firewall... it seems like they could turn the firewall off if they have everything they want there already.
Was there a 10 year warranty on that? Seems like to fail all at once now is a sign of something intentionally wrong.

Nobody follows a bot just for bot sake... you need to write something, get users to follow, and then when the feed repeats lose the user.
Can my hospital detect DLNA in my blood to identify my blood?

There doesn't need to be a communications tool just for porn-only, any general use tool can support porn.
Porn games? How does that work?

Are you on somebody else's bill? There's not very much area that doesn't have all four license holders to operate....
Who's doing porn as an app in the jailbreak store? It's a website with video these days.
That's exactly how the LTE system works these day... those who use too much are billed or throttled depending on what provider and rate card they subscribe to.
Moderators... why does this guy currently have a 2 and I have a 0 for Troll in this thread?
