100GbE is huge demand for core infrastructure people due to backbones being strained everywhere by the explosion of online video usage. Tier 1 providers are simply at a demand level that current foundries can't even come close to providing. Thus no one has an incentive to slash prices.
That is the main notion I got from the summary: I have an idea for a cool technology but it is a long way from becoming reality. Same fate as interplanetary travel and zero-calorie beer.
Just considering the personal information that could be stored on those machines and possibly accessed by someone with the intent of ID theft. It should have been a month for each machine compromised.
Playing devil's advocate but he did not access the personal information, he provided access. Should an ISP be liable for their customer's actions?
What are the percent increases in fatalities? Twelve thousand is a small portion if a million people use the highway per year. I guess for most people the risk of an accident does not jump up enough to warrant slowing down.
Having Emergency vehicles depend on an ad-hoc network seems risky at best and a potential disaster at worst. Might be best to just stick to the telephone (or whatever you currently use) and leave the flaky network to the non-life-critical tasks.
The requested functions are already mostly available via gnome shell extensions, allowing users to customize gnome to their preference.
That could work for most/. users but most regular users neither know how to enable extensions or care enough to learn. It it is not enabled by default most installations will never see it.
Make a cute little maskot that looks like one of those lawn gnomes. Maybe it could be a penguin or something. Totally the key to success. User comfort is waaayyy overated.
Stop adding features. Make the product do one thing well, and then use the profits to make a completely different product if you need something else done well.
Be like the ratchet.
That works for an open source project where the ultimate goal is to provide a usable product. If the project is already usable then do not add more features. Adobe though is a commercial product. They have to constantly change things and add new features so that their customers will need to upgrade to the latest version. This constant upgrading inevitably introduces instability.
Somebody send Geordi La Forge over there to straighten those people out.
Nobody is going thru life poking their finger every which way, even blind people realize how dumb that looks.
Hell even Google's got the camera on glasses figured out, and you can do a earbud or cochlear implant if you still insist on doing sound waves.
The article says that these are just a proof of concept: tight now the device only can identify currency, text, pricing information on tags, and colors. The idea is that it can be used to develop the glasses to give the blind information about their surroundings.
The reddit crowd already went over this one in detail... it wasn't pulled down...the petitions have a limited amount of time, and there was a standard maintenance window near the time this particular petition ended. So no big conspiracy...just normal network maintenance...
"How to configure Windows XP to use a proxy" is not news. It's a not-for-nerds tutorial.
Since the Olympics are such a major event an exception was deemed appropriate and it is something most of us probably did not know before reading it here on Slashdot . But I agree with both you and mj1856 in that I hope this is not going to become a regular occurrence.
Next thing you know we'll have all the bullshit that goes along with ask.com and ehow.
Slashdot's official mission is "News for nerds", I think that this qualifies. During a major event like the Olympics a common complaint amongst techies and non-techies alike is that they are unable to view coverage because of their location. This is informing people that their is technology that enables users to bypass the restriction. I clicked on the story and read the comments because I found it interesting.
So no one at Nvidia replied when some random joe off the street sent flimsy evidence of a vague exploit to them unsolicited? Can't say I am surprised...
That is the way medical science works. Nothing is one hundred percent. It is all about probabilities. If by using a certain drug people have a lower chance of having a degenerative neurological condition I think that drug is worth taking.

TechRepublic noted this a while ago and provided detailed instructions on how to work-around the issue.

Yes and porn is watched for the acting.

Google Trends looks at when the number of people searching for a specific term spikes and the correlation with major news. Ted is not a new idea.

Using all user's "anonymous" information to offer a better experience. Lets of people accept it from Google. Will they accept it from Microsoft?
Does it come with a spittoon and those rickety, swinging wooden doors?
Saloon also means sedan (car) in Britain and Australia.
Slashdot falls for another obvious fake article.
That could work for most /. users but most regular users neither know how to enable extensions or care enough to learn.
We're talking about desktop Linux here - "regular users" aren't really a concern.
This exactly why the perennial "Year of Linux on the Desktop" prediction is never realized.

Is worked for linus.
The one strategy that GNOME has never tried is asking users what
Almost all software has that problem.

Here is the reddit thread.
Maybe it is referring to the senator?

Any Turing-complete language is a legitimate data analysis tool.
The question is not whether or not it is possible but whether or not it is realistic and practical.
"may" or "may not" rubbish.

Sounds the same as having a web cam or an xbox. They both have cameras that can broadcast images.
Nothing to see here...
Does /. really not understand the concept of a plea bargain?
Judging by the comments attached to this story I would say they do not.
