No one needs to hear it. It's better to just filter what this guy has to say. I don't care what he has to say. He no credibility and the act of listening to what he has to say only harms everyone.
Yes, we need to check everything. That being said, this feels like game theory. Don't you get the sense that the NSA wants us to doubt the technology. If cryptography was widely used most of what the NSA does would be made obsolete.
When a whale buys or sells a sizable amount of stock in the public market it moves the price. When they execute the trade it doesn't happen all at once but in blocks. When bids and offers are made other players in the market see it and they try to jump on. This moves the price. The whale would like the price not to move so they can maximize profit. When trades are executed in a dark pool the market doesn't see the trades until they clear at the end of the day. Who trades in a dark pool you might ask? Other whales. Stocks traded in a dark pool are usually fairly distributed between groups of buyers and sellers so no one trading party has an advantage.
Fuck off! My genes belong to me. Our genes belong to humanity. The corporations own nothing. The law and the corporations are becoming less relevant daily.
Microsoft as gatekeeper to PC hardware is a non-starter. You can not have one company determine who will and will not use a PC. When I mean use I mean loading the operating system of the user's choice. That is using a computer, running the programs and operating system that the owner of the computer wants. One company determining how a user will use their computer best example of a monopoly.
I found that when unemployed or when your employment has been threatened that stress and fear are you number 1 enemy. You have to do something with that stress or you will not be psychologically capable of meeting the challenges you face. For myself I found getting up early, getting sunlight, and working out was critical to relieving that stress. Don't get a membership a a gym. You don't need it. Walk, run, or lift dumb weights.
After that I had to create a specific plan to get myself into that new job or out of the toxic environment. The end goal was to get to a place that would provide the funds I needed for living. How to get there wasn't completely clear at the time. I would create a daily plan of what I was going to do and work that plan. That was my job, to work the plan. Plan items where like, get resume together, call recruiters, work the phone, scan the job sites, etc...
There is a job market. You need to know what skills are needed in the market and work your resume to address market needs. If you have to update your skills get access to the best textbooks and study them page by page until you have mastered the information in them. Build working prototypes. Open source your stuff if you think they are good. Notice I said "get access" not buy. Libraries and B&N are great. Take notes.
Don't stop. Never stop. Don't watch TV or waste time on stupid entertainment. Live with only a few goals in mind.
Patents were created to encourage development. It's obvious that patents do the opposite. Abolish patents, remove patent protection from the constitution, and ban patents by constitutional amendment. This nonsense is intolerable.
I've been a coder, UNIX admin, Linux admin for close to 15 years. I've seen one crappy programming/scripting/whatever language come and go. COBOL is reliable, effective, and easy to use. COBOL was designed by Read Admiral Grace Hopper, a founder of the technology we use today. I wish I had COBOL for Linux. Then maybe I wouldn't have to listen to some dev squeak about some amazing, fantastic, BROKEN, INEFFICIENT, and often STUPID programming language. And what do I care about what some CTO thinks? It's not like he knows anything other than the art of bul!@#$.
I'm sorry but i'm not happy with my slashdot experience. The karma thing hasn't work for me and I don't know why my karma is so low. Low karma reduces unpopular speech which makes this a more repressive system. The "Karma haves" speech gets louder while the Karma "have nots" userbase die away. This system directs speech. Why would someone with "bad" karma want to stay with slashdot?
Also, authors have to much control on what is presented on slashdot. They act as barrier to what we see.
Digg authors put stuff out there but the value of the story is determined by the users. That's better. People see what they want to see.
Slashdot, stop trying to make something and start letting things emerge.
PS. why is my karma so slow anyway?
You can't have it both ways. Linux and the GPL are insperable. If Linux isn't free its dead. The linux was built to be free.
Doesn't BSD have a binary kernel driver layer? Build off that.
If THEY (Companies/Corporations) want it THEY should build it. This may be a great deal of work. I don't know. I'm not a kernel hacker. I just use this stuff. If THEY add it, its good, and its GPL'ed then it will catch on.
Obviously, GPL'ers don't like it because it bring non-GPL code too close to their projects. If a Binary Kernel Driver Layer leads to less free code, then I can do without it. I admin linux because it works and its free.
Nice going Sony. Hacking users PC's for profit and gain. That sounds like a crime to me. Sony you deserve every criminal indictment and you law suit brought again you.

Get this bullcrap off the front page. Complete nonsense.

The only way to address an information void is to fill it with good information. Hopefully everything is standardized.
I worked at a dark pool.

The term "metadata" being used by the politicians is off the bullcrap meter.
Didn't we learn anything from the Secret of NIMH?
Hey, I have an idea! Let sell pet supplies online via the cloud! Big Data! Analytics! Profit!
Anyone have a sock puppet?
Brought to you by Exxon, GM, TSA, cops looking for a job, etc.... Come on, I can't take the hype anymore. SHUT UP!
Fuck off! My genes belong to me. Our genes belong to humanity. The corporations own nothing. The law and the corporations are becoming less relevant daily.
Pay up like the rest of us and more.

I get a kick out of these short sited corporations handing their profits to lawyers. Good luck with that. Fork war anyone?
US employees are suffering from stockholm syndrome.
I reject the courts decision. I will not observe it and if I have an opportunity I will penalize any person or company that does.

What, no mention of Ruby? I admit Ruby has it's issue but it has been adopted enough to get a mention.

6 years for what? This is insane. No actual violence occured. This should be a misdemeanor.
