Slashdot tells us to love EFF, and hate patents. Besides, that's copyright, which we're supposed to hate except the GPL, and this is patents. I know it's complicated, but you've got to keep track!
In a certain metaphoric sense, yes, though not in any remotely concrete way, which would involve a violation of the Second Law.
Wait, do you mean
"A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law" or "the entropy of an isolated macroscopic system never decreases"?
I'm unsure what either has to do with the discussion, although I admit I have had problems with entropy in my MySQL databases.
"Getting closer to identifying the authors" means "we have no fucking clue where to start looking". If they were really closing in, the last thing they'd want is a press release.
This is Google... am I supposed to be mad at them or mad at the government? Couldn't the NSA help them? This is all so much easier when Apple does it first, because then I know I'm supposed to like it.

Depends on your scale; with this, you can use six large Full HD televisions if you like, rather than those dinky little 22" LCDs.
Good advice, since it's impossible to set up a wireless network in infrastructure mode without expensive equipment.
You're assuming the porn is graphical, not written.
Zippy? Zippy the Pinhead? Is that you?
I find the Citation Needed Police annoying at times
[Citation Needed]
as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration
He's thinking of APL, not BASIC.
I know Macs have model numbers and I know they have CPU's which also have model numbers. I don't know any of those numbers.
You can hand in your five-digit Slashdot ID now.
This has not changed much in the 25+ years I've been working with computers.
Does that mean the computer I *really* want is still $4000?
Sorry, I'll get off your lawn.
That's because nVidia pays game developers to use the features that prevent crashes and lockups.
If you use Firefox, you use a database.
Yeah, because SQLite has heavy processing requirements.
If you want to *really* be pedantic, why not argue that Excel is a database? Or Notepad? Or the MRU entries in the registry?
sigh. You do realize that the worlds biggest warlord was behind the Somali gov "collapse"
I don't know if the nytimes.com is the world's biggest warlord. Sure, it's annoying to have to register to read the article, but warlord?
That's a whole lot of plastic bottles.
The stuff Spinrite does stopped working 15 years ago.
What, bullshit? That still works just fine, most of the time.
"It was horrible, ones and zeros everywhere... and I thought I saw a two!"
For a while they were even pin-compatible.
Wait, so you're saying the Alpha 21064 and some Athlon64 share the same pinout? Or do you just mean that they both have pins?

What do they call it when you *are* the most amazing person in the world, and you *do* succeed at everything? I'm asking for a friend.
Eating a bullet on the steps would have gotten him on the local news, flying a plane into the building got him on national news.
Just because it's real doesn't mean it's not computer-generated...
Yeah, all we have to do is burn the sky, and we can kill all the machines.
I find your lack of variable initialization disturbing.

It's not there yet.
