That hasn't been the case so far. And it's easy to see why.
Allegations of police brutality (and the controversy surrounding it) gets eyeballs. Police just doing their jobs is boring. Guess which one "the media" wants.
The national media didn't hardly even touch it. In this case, if the police want to video everything (which they had), fine. I'll accept evidence if they have a defense. However, nothing should ever be erased or destroyed, and all captured video should be subject to FOIA requests if they aren't. Most of all, if these allegations are true, those responsible should be immediately fired and be brought up on multiple felonies. However, history has taught me that 9 times out of 10 it doesn't happen.
Then they should stop confiscating the cell phones and cameras of protesters if they have nothing to worry about. The difference is, the only real attention the media will give will be to the police, and this AP article illustrates this perfectly.
Most laptops don't provide recovery discs, but have utilties right on the Windows install that allow an ISO to be made and burned of the install. I can't tell you how many people I know get up fudge creek for not doing this when their hard drive dies, or they try to install a different OS.
Not to mention you may void the warranty if they want to be jerks about opening the computer and messing with the hardware.
Being this was an ubuntu-specific bug, I no longer trust Ubuntu and simply use Debian. When the changes you make undermine the very core security of your distribution flavor, you lose me as a user. This change to apt-key added nothing useful.
No one should dismiss the likelihood of rogus developers submitting changes to key components of popular distros like Ubuntu to exploit. Combined with a MITM attack, your Ubuntu system is owned. This is one reason I no longer use Ubuntu. This news also appeared on Slashdot, but it's mysteriously disappeared since then (this is where I originally heard about it).
So we shoud submit stuxnet and flame? That is THE definition of terrorist content that executes actions -- far more dangerous than the simple free exchange of ideas, even if offensive or morally wrong.
Simple - You're on camera and expected to be at your computer. If you fail, you get a visit from a roaming school official. If you don't want to behave, you get put into a classroom. You don't have to be physically present to watch a live lecture or to corroborate with peers.
How about instead of building and maintaing huge buildings, school busses, etc. why not build a municipal fiber network for your school district to each student as well as the public, and promote home-based learning? Companies already know that telecommuting is serious cost savings for many jobs. I think that with videoconferencing and many other tools, this could transform learning for middle and high school students for many courses.
I don't buy it. Microsoft would give their left nut to maintain their revenue stream from governments. 1. Sign code. 2. Deny and denounce the practice, promise to "fix the problem". 3. PROFIT. 4. Repeat.
Respectfully, what? I don't feel like writing 128 bits in decimals.Sorry, I enjoy my hexadecimal ethernet mac addresses, thank you very much. And IPv6 is compatiable with that. I will not succumb to NAT by my ISP because of the lack of address space. IPv4 was NEVER intended the way it has been utilized or to scale that large. If you only knew how much wasted energy is needed for the core routers to support IPv4 vs IPv6....
Probably AT&T. Regardless, the 2wires are DSL devices. Sadly, most of them are still running WEP out of the box, with the default unit-specific numeric key on a sticker under the unit. Ridiculously easy spying for government types.
Can it discern the difference between say, an engine backfirin, transformer blowing or a person lighting off fireworks? I highly doubt that. If it has to be sensitive enough to pick up a.22 being fired off, there's probably a lot of other things that also sets it off.
Slashdot Mirror
For Google, absolutely they are. Without them, they can't charge advertisers.
Yet Wikipedia and Google were both scared shitless and opposed it, and they have far more than 17 million users.
Just imagine if SOPA had passed. They would have been shut down overnight for taking a stand like that.

See how that works?
I'd love to see the videos that the police took of this: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/have-minnesota-cops-been-drugging-occupy-minneapolis-theres-some-interesting-video/

The oldest non canonical texts to date actually list it as 616. :)
Funny, because that's the area code from Slashdot's birthplace

12 little words to suggest to the world you must be an alchemist.
Five little words to inform the world you know nothing about economics.
Economics?
Isn't that the science where theories are used to refute reality?
If you're John Maynard Keynes, yes.
I'll stick with gold, thanks.

Avoid the Mariott at the Renissance Center in Detroit. But wow, if you pay for it, the speeds are incredible and stable (ethernet).

Sure gives this more credibility, don't it?

Cancel your support contracts with the federal government NOW.
Which isn't exactly secure, especially if used out of the box to avoid changing the SSID and other settings.

Get a nintendo wii, go to a populated building, and leave your access point as "Linksys". Enjoy figuring out which one belongs to you.
Obama SSIDs will also arrest and torture you if you leak the key.
