You think you've got it bad? I learned about Lagrange Points from slashdot comments. Blech.
But to get back on-topic, "the oldest trick in the book" only lasts so long before it has to be retired. This is just the next logical evolution in social engineering methodology. And it's not nice. I hope something will come along soon that will put a damper on it.
And hey, isn't the CA supposed to revoke certificates used for crime?
I got the book for Christmas from Amazon, it's been an interesting read. I've certainly learned a few things and had a few ideas on safer future implementations because of the book. Thanks for writing it:)
By reading the page history, and encouraging other users to do so. I think Wikipedia should have a little notation in the heading that shows the number of edits in the past little while, and allows you to quickly view them - perhaps merged into the same document.
Now now, it's not fair to randomly call people nazis.
Unless you mean Robbins Parking, in which case, yeah.
(I only started in 2004, so I haven't been able to get a company spot yet... gotta convince some of the TC people to quit and move on first *HINT HINT* lol:))
I think the point of the article passed you by - you can monitor and change the oven's settings remotely. You can SEE if your turkey dinner is about to turn into Chernobyl Jr., and deactivate the oven before it causes a mess.
Well, you've nailed it on the "sub" portion; most other sites had "mini-sub" in the headline. However, the Octopus *is* giant. It's the name of the species. One was reported to be 600lbs, though that's obviously above the statistical average.
They're strong buggers, too. If you were underwater and had a choice between a shark or an octopus attacking you, go with the shark. You have a better chance of survival.
I live on Vancouver Island, and the BBC knew about this before Slashdot. A minor newspaper in the UK picked up the story (at least from what I saw) a week ago, and since then it's hit (in order of my observation) BBC, then CNN, then CBC, then MyBC, then Slashdot.
Interesting how the trend flows:)
Of course, the Chirac hoax went CBC->BBC->CNN, which is even more amusing:)
If a company succeeds in bribing politicians to changing laws in their favor, that company wins.
To bring this back on-topic, I should point out that the newly-elected Prime Minister of Canada is very chummy with a certain American president/party - and he has a vested interest in seeing that this dispute is resolved in RIM's favour. So Rule #3 may be invoked by RIM:) (Not by bribes, though, just by simple requests)
Well, would you rather have 16 billion junk IPs, or a few hundred thousand that have confirmed Web Browser variants (UserAgents) and geographic regions on the other end?
I heard from someone that the Pentium-M is better than any of AMD's offerings for mobile CPUs; is there any truth to this?
I know that the new MacBook is running on the Core Duo line, and I understand that's a whopper of a mobile CPU, but I thought that AMD had a strong competitor to the Pentium-M?
... which is precisely why Firefly was such an endearing TV series; the crew had to struggle for their basic needs, rather than having everything handed to them on a silver platter. If it had been part of Star Trek cannon, it might even have made it more than one season.
Slashdot Mirror
*shrug* it only needs to be retired until people forget about it, then it can make a comeback.
:)
Sort of like Pauly Shore, except more evil.

We call that other group "tasty".
Come on, man. Hemp can handle most of that. Go green! :)
You're talking about Mark Cuban, aren't you? :)
I saw a display unit with a ton of them at Royal Bank once. Scary.

Two montreal DJs pretended to be (new) PM stephen harper, and managed to get through to french president Jacques Chirac.

I work across Kings St from you, at the plumbing place (ASL). :)

It's called a webcam, and no one with a Y chromosome (or two) should have one. :)
Hrm, I thought my math had been off. Oops :( Thanks for the correction.
If anything, that just makes my analogy Double True :)
... specifically to MS, I believe ... :))
(Due to IBM outsourcing PC-DOS and possibly parts of OS/2 development
Isn't that like saying "IBM yields OS Dominance to Microsoft" when talking about IBM PC-DOS or OS/2 vs. Windows XP? :)

There is nothing remarkable about your IP address.
Well, *I* could have told you that.
But seriously, don't you think that this site might potentially be trolling for vulnerable systems?
Well, if you perform an aggregate analysis of all the slashdot subscribers, I think you might find one or two savants.
:)
Certainly more than one idiot.
Myself included.
but you can always plug in somewhere and recharge

Well, almost always. But thanks for the response; I thought that the person was smoking some fine ganja, just wanted to confirm.

It was certainly better than Enterprise.
