I'm tempted to plant some *really* wrong information on any given topic, when I become aware of a term paper that's been assigned on it.
You know, things like 'Bonito Mussolini was named after a kind of tuna fish. He was born in the year 1726 and died of natural causes 800 years later'.
You should try it...you will be shocked at how fast the Wikipedia community removes obvious vandalism. It's the more subtle plausible errors that cause a problem.
This makes each of the UAVs semi-autonomous: they fly straight and level on their own and can be given simple orders using a point-and-click interface on what Williams calls "a simple, flat, moving map".
and later...
The remote pilot has pushbutton commands for each UAV, telling it to loiter, undertake a search pattern, or attack a target," Williams explains.
If this is the kind of game we're playing, we have NO chance against the Koreans.
Poll: was that the best Starcraft joke I could have chosen? What other jokes could I have used?
I've dropped my share of gadgets and I have to say that it is exceedingly rare that they actually break. My cell phone (A Blackberry 7100t) has been through a considerable amount of abuse in the two years I've owned it (partially due to the badly designed belt clip for this phone, if you run or jump with it the phone will fly out).
I think we all know that people who own Blackberries neither run nor jump.
And it is often the only way. Get ahold of a spyware-infected machine, and download the file to which it's logging all its stolen data, then show it to your parents. (You'd be surprised how easy this is most of the time...also you can score some free Myspace accounts this way.) Maximum scare points apply if their PC is already infected and you can show them their personal data in the file. Watch how fast they change their passwords and lock down their PC!
"making voting idiot proof" shouldn't mean making it easier for idiots to vote.
You are incorrect. The right to vote in the U.S. is not based on merit. The administrators of the elections do have the responsibility to make voting accessible for everyone, even those who *you* don't consider qualified.
As a sidenote, my lady doesn't wear diamonds unless they're family heirlooms -- I've gotten her to move to 22K and 24K gold jewelry. It is shiny, sparkles like crazy if cut right, and when it wears down, I have it swapped for a new piece of jewelry in any Indian neighborhood (or in India) for a relatively competitive price. Diamonds are sort of boring for her now -- she sees how little they store value over time versus gold, and they're not very useful in a financial emergency (versus gold or platinum). Plus the fact that she can "trade-up" her softened jewelry for something else really captivates her -- the last ring she wore we "exchanged" for a set of earrings that was traded for bangles a few years later. With the diamond, she's mostly stuck.
You missed the point of TFA. The point is that attackers are using compromised web hosts as a delivery device for the standard malware, not that they are stealing user information for any particular site. The bad guys are counting on the fact that you, as an internet-savvy web surfer, "know" that files coming from www.trustedsite.com are safe.
"Doesn't get the joke" is being modded up as Insightful now??
I don't understand how the parent managed to make a confident proclamation about the attribution of the quotation, then completely failed to get the point of the quotation itself. Oh right...Slashdot.
It's a video game. If we're going to get asinine here, why don't you apply the same argument to "race a real friggin' car," "shoot a real friggin' gun," "use a real friggin' sword," etc?
One of the biggest arguments against the GPL is that if you use it in your own code, you have to agree to its terms. In the case of the GPL, those terms mean that your code must be GPLed.
This is an extremely misleading statement, if not outright false. Your code must only be GPLed *if you redistribute it*. There are, unfortunately, plenty of cases where PHB's decide not to use GPL software because they don't understand this. And apparently neither do many Slashdot readers.
Guns don't kill people. The PS3 kills People. There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals the PS3 allows to live. The PS3 does not sleep. It waits. The chief export of the PS3 is Pain. There is no chin under the PS3's Beard. There is only another fist. The PS3 has two speeds. Walk, and Kill. The leading causes of death in the United States are: 1. Heart Disease 2. the PS3 3. Cancer The PS3 drives an ice cream truck covered in human skulls. The PS3 is my Homeboy. The PS3 doesn't go hunting.... the PS3 GOES KILLING
People spend so much time now gathering useless figures, processing those, and presenting them that they often don't bother to take care of the issues that don't readily fit into numeric analysis, or worry about whether they're introducing noise into the signal (which only needs to be filtered out again later).
1998 just called. They asked you to send back some of the thousands of "highly desirable" out-of-work IT workers...they're in a bit of a pinch.

He certainly can, as he owns a hosting company. However, the point here is that he now HAS to stop giving out music for free because he can't pay in order to do so. The point here being that an artist as popular as EDGEY _could_ exclusively sell CD's but had chosen to give the music away for free...until now.

Looks like about 85% of you. I am pointing and laughing at you.

And they said romance was dead!
So let me get this straight... First the crocodile eats you and then is the crocodile eaten by the snake? Or does the crocodile spit you out first?
Close...replace "spit" with a very similar word...
How could we let the Koreans build a science facility, THEN attach covert ops, AND build ghosts?? I hope they don't have cloaking...
Not your browser history, he meant you actually go back and *ERASE HISTORY*. Cool huh?

Mod parent up. Most correctest post in thread.
I like the idea. I wonder if Google could manage to buy WebSense, who already has that type of information available.

...it's your HARDWARE that's too slow.
Only if you assume I'm one of the 1 instead of one of the 99...
99% percent of the time, employees are not a threat because they're malicious...they're a threat because they're very, very stupid.
