It seems like anybody talking about this at facebook with it's amazing no-privacy policy indicates who should get hit with those ads. It's a "you can't hide!" situation.
Yep, and in the real world you're now required to carry a card with your database "primary key value" in order to get the real price, doing so otherwise causes you to "miss sales" or really "pay a surcharge".
We also need better tracking of men who make women pregnant! See, for a first child, she's going to go through things she's never experienced before. They need to learn the Gerber brand, need to learn what diapers are about, told what's current at Toys 'R Us (are their any competitors left?) and more.
Sorry, you just can't opt out of that one. If you don't want it online, it's going to land in your mailbox.
I think we've got a problem here... there doesn't seem to be anything current in analog-video-in ports right now... I think you have to go all the way back to XP to get a driver for those things.
That's the domino effect... if pay is low, and costs are low, people are happy, but that's still an error to anybody who wants the economy to be leveled out.
Computer science is almost a "solved" technology... how's the current compliance with Moore's Law?
And for the kids who may be reading this... Moore's Law is the statement that computer power doubles quickly... we were moving up exponentially in the 80s, 90s, and still are even now in about all of the number specs in computers like processors, disks, and RAM.
This is essentially a report that says local cost of labor are off by more than 100% in those two areas for the same job. Seems like too many teachers in one place, not enough in another.
There's a lot of media these days telling kids what to do... even if the parents don't want them to. If you don't think so, you're not watching the right feed of Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, or any other kids network. We could have a very smart generation in their teenage years right now.
So, everybody, look out for smart programmers ahead willing to change things and then uploading their programs to smart system admins who make sure it gets onto the Internet. There's a new generation ready to challenge us, and hey, if you're part of that, welcome to Slashdot!
Please, everybody who's teaching programming skills, mention that Slashdot is a point where controversial ideas need to be discussed... projects can gain power for good things, or be told what's wrong here. I haven't seen an Ask Slashdot on the homepage in a while, do we still do that here?
Yep, and for the same reason websites can't publish your buying history of music to anybody but you... I have a lot of "teenage" music in my collection that I purchased while I was a teenager... get that?
BAD: This is a violation of Net Neutrality because it's giving Netflix right-of-way on other people's ISP links. GOOD: Netfilx is now placing servers even closer to users, so they have to travel less distance in network terms to get to the users.
Warning to IE8 fans... it goes away with Windows Vista, which is the next Windows OS to cross the "no longer supported" line like Windows XP did this month.
There really should be some effort to distribute Firefox on SD card or other non-download media, or at least a placeholder that contacts mozzila.org without needing Internet Explorer. We've been reading about this kind of thing on Slashdot for years now.
There's too much common ownership between Comcast and Charter... this is really the managers of good customers selling some systems to the managers of not-so-profitable customers.
Uhm... discredit today.com because that isn't NBCNews.com and they forgot to disclose Bill Gates as controller of Microsoft is mostly in control of MSNBC. If he wanted to report this, it would have come out as from NewsNation or some other MSNBC brand. Sorry, no match and the board goes back.
I'm not sure everybody is an IT worker unless we have a really broad definition of information. I'd rather say workers are now affected by IT, not always working in IT.
Remember, the WWW is a system of requests, then the site usually hands you what you wanted or an error. What they're saying is that if ad data gets so good we can tell what race the user is, more targeted ads and content could be served.
Can anybody report what the major differences are between the races right now? Aside from the obvious ones like blacks would visit BET.com more often... what is going on here. Slashdot is supposed to be an all-races site, but is the tech audience actually a representative sample yet?

I'm not sure that works anymore. 1999? Yes, broadcast.com was sold for a billion.
Now, Million Dollar Home Page was worth uhm, what was that number again?
Yes, but you can't force a teacher to sign a contract... there's a line between persuade and force. So, if the pay is too low, no teacher will sign.

Sorry, this is making the server better. Rate goes up when that happens.

If your goal is "functional" and you wind up at "mostly functional"... aren't you admitting you've got a bug in your program?
I would have called such people "Programmers" but that's just me.
What's GOOG's definition of "engineer"? Do they always do drive the train to work? Do they all have to design something?

Netflix has always been the most content leader, giving them an ability to charge more. Will there be a competitor price hike soon?
