Will Goldilocks let down her hair too?* The modern state exists primarily to protect corporate profits.

Perhaps you missed all the mergers and acquistions going on with the TLA's, CyberCommand, etc., but bear in mind that Alexander controls[->ed?] actual military assets and (IIRC) two batallions.
You can't call the NSA a civilian agency any longer.
He conjectured that the reason the game isn't "twenty five questions" or any other number is that the data capacity of the human brain is about this much
Huh? Haven't you ever continued the game until the person won? In the car as kids we'd regularly get into the mid-30's with unique questions.
I got up early for Motorola's Black Friday sale to get a developer's edition Moto X. They launched three hours after their advertised start time. Once their systems came online, I got an order in in less than three minutes. I got an order confirmation and hours later Motorola staff was posting on social media, urging people to buy the model I got. The next day, they send me a cancellation notice saying they have no stock and they're not going to honor my order, despite offer and acceptance.
Google sucks at anything that requires anything that resembles customers service. Humans don't map/reduce well.
You can stomach bear, if it's spiced up in a meatball, but it's not what you'd call great. Compared with, say, elk.
But dogs? C'mon, my dog will eat a rotting squirrel. Maybe the "neighborhood grizzly" was sick - grizzlies don't ordinarily inhabit human neighborhoods, save the usual caveats about garbage.
All this does is worsen the divide and entrench the relatively few 'bad guys' said other nation may even have running the show into their positions against us. *headdesk*
I just want to back up your point, and note that "all this does" could be interpreted as handwaving away "endangering the safety of future generations", which is what the stooges in DC are doing.
They are at least as dangerous as whomever they think will learn how to do something useful that they're afraid of. It's entirely consistent though - they uniformly reject the notion that education, opportunities, and markets can lead to peace and prosperity, and continually fight against it with their bombs, regulations, and embargoes, despite the clear track record of it working every time it's tried. It's not surprising to the cynic, though - to do otherwise would be to admit to their own innecessity.
The only advantage I can see for blu-rays is in random access performance, but for a rarely used cold archive system, you'd think that wouldn't matter.
One might assume they want to re-use the same technology further up the stack as well.
Just yesterday, a friend wanted to see a picture I took of some shelves I built in my greenhouse (yes dear reader, it's time to start prepping for the food you'll eat in September). I had a picture on FB from a couple years ago. The thumbnails loaded quickly, but bringing up the full-resolution picture caused a page load time of nearly 30 seconds. Nobody had probably touched that file in 2 years, so it was being pulled off of _some_ HSM tier that's not #1 or #2. I don't know what their current implementation is, but they seem to have something in place already (which only makes sense) that's not quite as online as the article infers.
Yeah, next month I'll be decommissioning the last Solaris-based machine that any of my clients use and replacing it with some flavor of linux, and they're very happy about that. I'm super happy about it since administration is so much easier on Linux, with proper tools for all kinds of things Solaris can't do, or only does poorly because I've cobbled up a bunch of scripts to merge information from several management utilities to get data that's readily available on linux in/dev/,/proc/, or/sys/. I realize there's still a small niche for Solaris, but it's growing smaller and smaller every year.
Now, if wordpress would just bloody start supporting PostgreSQL I'd never need to visit oracle.com. HyperDB is murder compared with a Pg cluster. And, yeah, Maria - good effort but people still want something they've heard of.
What? I actually read the article. The 54g I got in 2002 had '802.11b only', '802.11g only', and '802.11 b&g' as its three available modes.
What's new here?
Oh, and multicast still sucks over 802.11n, it still falls back to the base symbol rate - is that what they're talking about? Don't try to run PulseAudio over multicast if you don't have IGMP snooping on your switches, or you're gonna have a bad time!
Would you post links to Google maps pointing people to houses in your neighbourhood that are not locked?
'Unlocked' is one form of 'unprotected'. There was already a Westchester NY newspaper that published a list of houses where the owners were protected with a firearm. The exact inverse of this list is houses where the owners are not protected with a firearm, which makes for easy pickings by home invaders, or even 'just' robbers (no "herd immunity"). So, yeah, there is precedent.
Good idea. On my phone, FB running in the background was using over 15% of the battery life, according to the Android power consumption stats. I can handle CPU pigs in the foreground, but my battery doesn't last long enough as it is for important things.
Some people rave about Tinfoil for Facebook, but I prefer using the 'Desktop' site in Browser, the few times I need to.
And yet, we don't see any of their executives behind bars as a result...
Oh, but they had to pay *several* hours worth of profits in fines!
Can we stop pretending now that the banksters don't control the first world governments? I mean, Christ, the US, France and Britain went to war with Libya and had their soldiers anal rape their leader to death with a broomstick because he threatened to offer a better deal than the Bretton Woods regime.
When evaluating a hosting company of some flavor, you also have to know if they are hosting anything that could be interpreted as permitting its services to be used for child porn, terrorism, drug talk, insider trading, prostitution, seditious speech, pornography, hate speech, sins against the Father, sins against the President, or campaign finance.
If so, don't depend on that service for any privacy.
Basically, if there's a US nexus, you cannot hire a hosting company and expect any privacy.
The terrorists hate us for our freedoms. Go shopping.
Congress has a pretty poor, or at least erratic, track record of actually enforcing the 'under oath' part of testifying in front of congress.
Congress remodled their prison into conference rooms something like 50 years ago. Not too long after the 17th Amendment was ratified and the majority of the Senate turned over.
Accountability is _not_ the desired outcome (for the power structure).
There's nothing you can do about the speed of light, but you can put a drone operator in a tundra orbit over a theatre of operations with a few hours' notice in an X-37C.
Chillax, dude, it's simply a matter of implementation and preferences.
While archive.org might think this is a new idea, I've been using Errorzilla mod for the good part of a decade. When a 404 is encountered, you get the regular error page, and then it adds some buttons that let you look at the Google cache, Coral cache, Wayback archive, etc.
I have no problem with the GPL, but the zealots that seem to think it is the only way EVAR that is ok and that people who want a less restrictive license like BSD are bad get on my nerves.
I used to always say that there's individual freedom, which BSD maximizes, and community freedom, which GPL maximizes.
But a recent post by, um - a very well known Internet pioneer, but this was not in a public forum - makes the point that by using the BSD license, one can ensure that the proprietary software vendors embrace the open standards technologies that are essential for Internet freedom. There's some embrace-and-extend that can happen, but the 90/10 rule is satisfied.
License choice can be strategic in multiple dimensions. Stalman is correct on his axis, but coopetition is not a bug, it's a feature.

Patience may be rewarded. Somebody will start using @N at some point, and that person will have a money trail to the criminal.

The most likely answer is one-time-use credit card numbers, which many banks offer. I haven't seen them yet for debit cards, which is a shame.
if we put our minds to it and actually dedicated serious resources to the task instead of sitting around and debating Creationism.
I'm certain that a rotating habitat ring could be build around the ISS by SpaceX for less than the cost of one Iraq War.
And there's no oil in space to not cover the costs of the war either.

Good idea. On my phone, FB running in the background was using over 15% of the battery life, according to the Android power consumption stats. I can handle CPU pigs in the foreground, but my battery doesn't last long enough as it is for important things.

Did people not get the message loud and clear?
1) Belief that you are capable of success
2) Awareness that you have not reached your potential
3) Impulse control
Those may help, but we already know that impulse control is sufficient to explain the outcomes (marshmallow experiment). Perhaps it's:
1) bullshit
2) bullshit
3) impuse control, as proven 30 years ago
But that sells fewer books.
P.S. Slashdot, your <ol> is broken.

TFTFY.
No wonder the politicians are in a panic.
Latency and jamming is an issue

The couples will have to go pay full price at a fertility clinic for sperm. Is that not a logical consequence of this case?
You say that as if supporting the cartel the State imposes isn't *the purpose* of this case.
Really, these people are living up to the worst reputations of capitalism.
No, they're living up to the expectations of corporatism.
Or do we need to start unionizing the programmers? I mean... it sounds drastic but this is a serious issue.
When you've applied a bad patch, you need to back out the bad patch, not add a new patch that works around the bad patch.
