Let's say you lived in a valley and couldn't pick up any OTA TV broadcasts. You have a neighbor who lives on a hill who can. Aereo is like your neighbor allowing you to put an antenna on their property (and charging a few bucks for their trouble and the use of their land). I don't understand the problem.
What's next? Getting people to use it after they download it. I suppose I'm counted in that 100 million, but I've never actually had a reason to use the product. Absolutely everyone I know in business and personal life uses MS Office, and I get the whole MS Office suite free through work or included in any new PC purchase.
Not that the idea of a lawsuit against Microsoft is likely, but I think the OP is referring to the source of the attack - not the target. The point is that many DDOS attacks are created by zombie computers, many of which run Microsoft operating systems.
It's even funnier that you were upset by someone mentioning a dumb Texan and then proceed to list Texas as the third largest state. (Hint: It's the second largest state.)
As a reader of Slashdot, you should probably learn that the difference between opt-in and opt-out is more than just semantics. They are not simply opposites of each other.
IANAL: Not sure if that's true. If the police obtained the evidence illegally, it could not be used in court. However if someone else obtains it illegally (who has no connection with the police) and provides it to them, then it can be used.

Those prices seem unusually high, although depending on what "conventional" internet is, a one time fee of $300 for broadband internet access sounds tempting.
Mayor Poopenmayer: Professor Wernstrom, can you save my city? Professor Wernstrom: Of course, but it'll cost you. First, I'll need tenure. Mayor Poopenmayer: Done. Professor Wernstrom: And a big research grant. Mayor Poopenmayer: You got it. Professor Wernstrom: Also, access to a lab, and five graduate students, at least three of them Chinese. Mayor Poopenmayer: All right, done. What's your plan? Professor Wernstrom: What plan? I'm set for life. Au revoir, suckers! Leela: That rat! Do something! Mayor Poopenmayer: I wish I could, but he's got tenure.
So LOOOL (Laugh Out Out Out Loud) is as funnier than LOL (Laugh Out Loud)? While the attempt at an algorithm to discover funny videos is interesting, I hope they are keeping in mind how low the bar is when studying YouTube comments.
Don't go to "college". Come to our "fellowship" and take "classes" where we will mentor you and teach you things. That doesn't sound like a university at all...
The main difference is that they will probably dedicate more time an money for these students which will somehow prove it is better not to go to college... and they'd be right. It is probably better to get taken under the wing of a billionaire and get a free education than go to college.
While obviously it does utilize data storage, lookup, and statistical probabilities to help find and choose an answer, it also significantly relies on machine learning (a large branch of AI) to understand the questions and choose the answers.

Dear Slashdot,
Please consider your audience. This might be the top "science" story on Hollywood Insider, but on Slashdot it's just insulting.
You advocate a ________ approach to calendar reform. Your idea will not work. Here is why:

Based on this data, I am able to learn 100x faster at work than at home. I guess that's why they won't let me telecommute...
Is "exciting" really the proper word for this headline? How about "terrifying" or "catastrophic".
