Is Dice Holdings just floating this story in order to get quality feedback on how to justify their next attempt at seizing "abandoned" projects on SourceForge?
Morons like you should learn how to read. I never said that they were my ideas of property and wealth. I was commenting on the convenient re-defining of "theft" to exclude oneself from moral censure. Grow a brain.
You realize that you just made me google confirmation bias on a Friday night? I'm sorry, don't see your point.
I wasn't saying that I was wise enough to know who is on the right side of history, just that there is a right side on every issue, and what is right doesn't change regardless of how many people agree with it at any given time
I take "the right side of history" to mean the side that promoted right over wrong, as considered at some later date.
This does assume that right and wrong exist, and that we can tell the difference between them. 100 years ago, there would have been a small minority of people on the right side of history vis-a-vi gay rights, but it would still have been the right side of history.
Why do they have a twitter account? An enemy of the U.S.A. has been detected in your building. Ordnance has been dispatched, You have 30s to evacuate your family. Thank you
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that much of the history of Europe is the story of unbelievable brutality conducted in the name of Christian orthodoxy. Google "inquisition" or "Salem" for starters.
The only way Kodak can really make a difference... is to equip the Kodak branded smartphone with its own 50 Megapixel CCD sensor
If they released a 100% open phone with complete and transparent control over what data gets transmitted and stored, that would make a difference. Somehow though, I expect the 50MP sensor is more likely.
From TFA: Apple said it was a very common practice for workers to nap during breaks, but it would investigate any evidence they were falling asleep while working.
...her chemotherapy medicine, Temodar was $11,000 (not a typo) for a one-month supply (one bottle of pills)
The people setting the $11,000 price on a single bottle of pills will be able to afford good healthcare. I don't think the government is the main problem here.
Most people don't think too highly of the folks behind Standard Oil, but an honest assessment would suggest that they did more to save whales than anyone at Greenpeace -- by making whale oil a less cost effective heating mechanism
Actually, the primary use for whale oil was illumination. Its use was superseded briefly by natural gas, and then permanently by electricity - so there's no credit to Standard Oil on that point.

A mod-point, a mod-point! My kingdom for a mod-point!

Stealing has nothing at all to do with the intention to deprive others. Stealing is the taking of anything that does not belong to you.

I just bowl them down. I'm taller and large bigger than most, so if I think they're being oblivious or careless, down they go!
OK, so might makes right.
...or maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop
I go with meeces (which I also hate to pieces). Jinks the cat predates Engelbart and English.
Nortel also went bankrupt because China based hackers had the free run of all of their computers for a decade. That's a lot of R&D to give away.

As an inveterate hater of the Harper Govt. I am deeply pissed that they have done the right thing here.
If on nothing else, on this issue, they do seem to know their ass from their elbow.

Just wondering where all the Hughes supporters in this thread stood during the recent Dice-Holdings-foists-Beta-on-Slashdot kerfuffle.
TFA is published by Popular Science, which was also a major proponent of flying-cars back in the 60's
I'm not sure how this would profit them - unless there is some unknown backdoor in TOR.
Apple could be in a position to leverage advances in sensing technology to make medicine cheaper
I wouldn't be betting on Apple to make anything cheaper.
Wow. First time in my 5 years here that I've encountered the word "fucktard" on /. (google lists a total of 1310 instances over the entire history of the site https://www.google.com/search?as_q=fucktard&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=slashdot.org&as_occt=any&safe=images&tbs=&as_filetype=&as_rights=&gbv=1&sei=52n4Up6oI8z_oQStwYL4Bg )
Looks like there is something here to defend.
Thank heavens no German tech. companies were implicated.

It fails the mom test badly.
Yes, but any moms who are editors of respected international journalistic institutions are probably smart enough to understand and use encryption.
They didn't come for Lavabit, Lavabit caved. They didn't come for Groklaw, Groklaw caved.
