I am so sick of the term "cyber" being used by people to make their ideas sound sophisticated. It drives me mad to see this not having the opposite effect.
That sounds incredibly 1984 and I'm glad that the media of today has done away with such a draconian idea. Part of the beauty of a free market in information is that opposing viewpoints don't get smothered by the popular madness of the era, think of what would have happened to important new thinking about the gold standard, global cooling and the benefits of deregulation if jackbooted "fact checkers" had been there to strangle dissenting voices.
What I want to know is why it's always college kids who are doing the cool stuff in/. stories. It really sends the wrong message that centers of elitist liberal brainwashing are somehow related to innovation when we all know that it's the hardworking, individualistic, ambitious types upon whom all progress depends.
Bullshit, that's not how a graduated tax scale works. Also, you must have skipped a few decades worth of school if you don't know or can't imagine why a flat tax is unworkable and not even remotely "fair".
Consider the fact that many organizations with small IT departments are considering switching to Google apps. Suddenly, their exposure is to hundreds of such admins instead of the two or three that used to run their local mail system. You need to calm down.
Guys, accidents happen. This "Northrop Grumman", whoever they are, will no doubt be fired and not receive any more contracts once word of this gets out. This will put pressure on them to provide better services, or be out-competed by other entrepreneurs. Our free market system works, you just need to expect this kind of thing when it's government doing the hiring.
Assuming 3 hours of TV time per day, I could watch about 90 hour-long TV episodes on Netflix for just $9/month. Apple wants me to pay 10x that? No thanks.

So instead of "handicapping" yourself, you assume lightspeed travel and simplify the problem to a linear trajectory. Bravo?
Geeks love WoW because it's the closest thing they'll ever experience to working at Foxconn.
People are mostly objecting to the headline, not 'shitting on what others have done', unless you're referring to sensationalizing this story.
it's not college that makes people progressive, it's college republicans
it's practically a design pattern in political rhetoric
protecting yourself is reactionary, real men never leave their basements

Now you tell me! I've been trying to click enter for the last hour and it's been incredibly frustrating.
It really makes you think...
Stop trying to suppress my free speech. I'm going to tell Sarah Palin on you
What about Rackspace's liberty? Don't they have any rights you stupid faggot?
No kidding. This should've been called a 'tweezer beam'
This story is a perfect example of how sites like Slashdot are part of the problem.
I do this too when I read Slashdot posts. On a very basic level you are a self-absorbed tool.
On the other hand, recorded history.

It was $10,000 a year or so ago. I seem to remember a $15k "research" version too but I'm guessing there weren't very many takers.
If you want the raw EEG data, you have to buy emotiv's $10,000 SDK. I'll stick with my Neurosky headset for now.
I actually prefer to watch a show after it's cancelled so if I like it I don't have to wait for new episodes.
