No. It's like you saying to the news stand guy "Can I have a free paper?", him giving you one, and then when you start reading page two demanding that you pay.
Y'know who could be, totally silently, Firesheeping every non-SSL login you make, and observing all the fun consumer data that advertisers will pay for? Your ISP...
I think it is the cost of the extra server load, not the cost of certificates that keeps FaceBook off https. After all, most of their users don't care about privacy (and I mean that they don't care, not that they "don't understand").
Neologisms are normal in english. All, however, are not created equal. Every made up word does not deserve to become an acknowledged part of the language.
Why not? Doesn't everyone have equal say as to what constitutes common usage? If enough of us express our distaste for it then it may fall out of use and thus cease to be common usage. If not, then it may not. Everyone participates in forming the language. That includes dissing dorky neologisms.
Yes, they could sue you in theory. In practice they won't because there are no statutory damages for patent infringement and so all that they would be able to collect is actual damages.
If travelling at 1c the Universe will be infintesimally short to the traveller (due to length contraction), and thus wherever he goes he will be there in no-time.
Exactly. And if he travels very close to c the universe will be very short and thus wherever he goes he will be there in a very short time. Thus relativity makes it possible to reach any point in a finite universe in human-scale time (but go fast enough and each proton you hit will be as massive as a star).
True. Paper books don't provide convenient means and permission to make temporary partial copies. You have to loan out the whole book. Just as you have always been able to loan out your Kindle.
Except for the stuff I forget, which must not have mattered anyway or I would have remembered it. And if I really should have remembered it my wife reminds me in such a way as to make certain that I never forget it again.
I nearly spelt out explicitly that in order to program a Mac you do actually have to own a Mac, just as to program any other computer you do need to own that computer
I and many others have written software that installs and runs just fine on Dells, HPs, SPARCs, MIPS and ARM based machines without owning or using any of those machines.

Go down the page. Only the top few stories are password-protected.

Citation please.
I await my subpoena with bated breath.
...They're called "computers". Perhaps office workers should be trained to use them.
But since you are a sensible, prudent person you wouldn't be using Gmail for anything really sensitive anyway without encrypting it...
So what?
Then I suggest that you not post it, since Slashdot is open to the public.
The question was about privacy, not impersonation.

What's "private" about anything on Slashdot?

Speak for yourself.

Are you kidding? Visit irs.gov and a third of your income vanishs.

So what you see is that Android is third. Isn't that what the article says?

Works for me.
They want to pass for human. Why would they practice pretending to be Slashdotters?
I and many others have written software that installs and runs just fine on Dells, HPs, SPARCs, MIPS and ARM based machines without owning or using any of those machines.
So what bit of your privacy has Slashdot compromised?
So these free tools do not require Apple hardware? Amazing.
As in seeing to it that we don't have too much of it. Think CALEA, for example.
