He didn't have to close the site, only remove the logo. He could have even removed the name (like on the current message on the site). What a coward! He's made is so easy for them. Next time, they won't even think twice. He should have stood up, or at least kept the site going.
Making a book even once an author has completed the manuscript is still time consuming and difficult--not just sending it to the press and saying 'done!'
But with the internet, 'publishing' my blog entry is just as easily as sending it to my server and saying 'done!'. As content creators start to funnel their shit, as the article suggests, towards the internet instead of dead trees it will become much easier for the authors themselves to do.
If I put my server in a room, lock it and then give you a key you could get to my server and fuck it up. If I give you one of these key boxes, the idea is your still couldn't get the raw key out.
there are always people that will have contact with them from the inside
Can't you get cryptographic keys that are sealed inside a black box device so that no-one can access them? Couldn't this sort of thing be done for at least some hardware?
Oh dear, I think I've just justified security through obfuscation.
You didn't get on with the teacher, so it must have been because you're a girl, not because you think you're better than everyone else ("I knew more than 20% of the students") and pissed around in his class ("during the two times I was not paying attention").
If the girls are smart enough to get in, but just don't choose to, why do we want to persuade them? All descrimination is bad, positive descrimination is included.
I have just applied to universities here in the UK, and I looked at the few computer game design courses available.
Most of them are very poor, they have low enterance requirements (someone at my college got in without even a maths A level!), and aren't run by any of the good universities (imagine Oxford doing a BA in computer game design - hardly).
I've opted to do a generic as possible degree, a masters in computer science, at a good, respected university (either Oriel college Oxford, Durham or Bristol).
I can't imagine why anyone would want to do one of these fashionable degrees like "wireless computing", "internet technology" or the computer games ones. People who want to do game design should study maths, physics or pure computer science.
Think of it like this, how many really good directors or actors went to one of these film schools one sees advertised in the back of film mags? Probably not many.
It's the "this is only possible due to the wonders of open source" that pisses me off. You could replicate this exactly in Windows, using Hooks to modify the common dialog boxes. The libraries don't need to be open to do this.
Slashdot Mirror
... and you guys would never post anything without checking the facts or past posts first.
So what about the ask slashdot answers, Roblimo?
Looks legit, does it?
Q: Is this an April Fool's joke?
A: Ah - yes!
Linus is not very good at displaying the fonts
I don't think you can directly blame him :)
This is a public school.
Those "pretty-looking but talentless actors" pay for the minority "who could actually perform music in some way"
Agreed. I never thought it was any kind of trick. Simply the way to clear a register.

When they 'XML programming language' I think they mean something like foo==10foo=barfoo=baz. As in, a programming language written in XML.

If you have to attract students who won't look past the title, you're looking for the wrong sort of students.

I have a non G3 phone (an old Sony J5) but it supports email with the POP3 protocall, which I've simply tied to a normal email account.
visit the gift shop as well! Take a flier too! And tell your friends!
It's a BUG

I didn't realise the word had an exact meaning.
What Microsoft suggested something like this, everyone went mental, and I got bitch slapped for saying I thought it was a good idea.
Bluetooth is on the list, since when has this been science fiction?
No, no, no. It's GNU/TCP/IP/H2O
