Duh. But I thought those were sequels, rather like an expansion pack for WoW. Something 'new' like an online CCG is out of character for the old, fat, slumbering behemoth.
All indications are that Verisign and others were compelled to turn over their master keys, so what's left to crack? Seriously, via MitM they can own just about any internet-using box on the planet, and failing that, there's always the cousin of Stuxnet.
The only solution at this point is a human one - make them stop. Technologically, it's already past game over.
This 'megastorm' was a non-event in Dallas. Yes, they messed with flights, but because of the de-icing and general paranoia, rather than any actual weather.
It's an absolutely beautiful, if cold, day outside my window today.
You keep saying 'self respecting slashdotter' like this means a single, measurable thing. Some IT people are hardware types and some are software types and a small handful are both. They are called 'silos'. Look it up.
Also, among that few who 'like' to work on hardware, many of those are wise enough not to stretch their comfort zones - due to bad experiences, just like the one you replied to above.
As a 'self respecting slashdotter', you really ought to know this.
You like Apple and feel like the repair issue isn't a thing. Fine. That's your opinion. How's about letting the other folks express theirs without replying to every. single. post?
We're talking about 'feeding and housing' 164 detainees inside the existing federal prison system. You're claiming that the President lacks the authority to make that happen.
Okay, fine, so if we busted up a drug cartel and made 164 arrests and subsequent convictions, does Congress have to approve their incarceration?
If so, how many prisoners were set free during the shutdown?
OF COURSE the press is a 'paid propaganda tool'! It has been since the words were put to paper.
Nobody but nobody does something for no reason whatsoever.
Here's the chain:
1) Government employee gives the reporter something to print that will sell copies, ad impressions, etc. 2) Reporter prints it in such a way that doesn't burn guy from '1' above. 3) People consume it and hit the profit buttons as applicable. 4) Profit
Also, whoever gets the 'best' sorts of '1' above gets the most '4'.
Ethics are like that, aren't they. The prosecution may feel there's no ethical difficulties with withholding evidence from the defense "because they're sure he did it".
There is some corroboration by the photo to be considered. And if the tweets had been libelous then they would be actionable. So either the guy decided not to (threaten to) sue, or he knew he couldn't win a suit, logically speaking.
That's not quite true, ethically. Legally, okay sure. But ethically, it is considered inappropriate to eavesdrop. You have a number of options, and the least someone could do is notify the speaker that they are not in private. Even a knowing glance would do. Like you or I would do for a normal person.
Liveblogging everything you catch isn't typically expected behavior.
Not saying the 'dose of your own medicine' thing isn't awesome, because it is. But it does come up a bit unclean.

WoW is old and tired. Star Craft is old and tired. Diablo is old and tired.
Hearthstone, at least, is new-ish.
Go Blizzard. Glad to see there's still some life in those old bones!
Duh. But I thought those were sequels, rather like an expansion pack for WoW. Something 'new' like an online CCG is out of character for the old, fat, slumbering behemoth.
I'll admit it, I'm mildly surprised to hear Blizzard is still a company, outside of Panda loving, anyway.
No reason other than every browser on the planet warning its users not to trust your certificate authority, you mean?

I agree. 'Wall Street breaks record' is just a sign of the end of the bubble.
Expect it to come down hard and fast once the QE backs off.
I agree, and this is also why I tend to unplug my Kinect when I'm not using it (or keep the Xbox powered down).
Plus there's the whole 'turn it on by remote' thing, like the Feds do to mobsters via Onstar.
Based on a study of how many dead people?

If you'd like to know what really happened, post your slashdot username and password in a reply, and I'll let you in on the secret...
...hopefully they'll leave the cholera at home this time.
Subsidies are still costs. Someone has to pay it. If you don't know who is paying it, chances are it's you.
While this is clearly true, the people you moderate would be free to describe how that makes them feel in any way they see fit, as well.
In turn you're free to ignore them, respond to them, or do whatever floats your boat.
You're even free to try to shush them through appeals to authority.
Right so you think you're defending your faith against an athiest. Guess again.
Look no further than the church's positions on homosexuality or their view of Islam to find your answers.
How is '2' relevant? Are you the AC? Or Captain whoever from Parent?
That's just insane.
So a person-to-person conversation, which was new tech about 20,000 years ago, is okay and less intrusive somehow.
But add a new device and out goes all concepts of right and wrong?
BULL.
SHIT.

I'm talking about 'most people', so YMMV.
If you want to draw those equivalencies, that's completely fine by me.
But to claim 'de-humanizing the enemy' isn't a "Christian value" is absurd.
There is some corroboration by the photo to be considered. And if the tweets had been libelous then they would be actionable. So either the guy decided not to (threaten to) sue, or he knew he couldn't win a suit, logically speaking.
I'd guess the simplest explanation is true: He's probably just a busy guy. Don't you work on the train, too?

And you genuinely think that each Federal prisoner's costs are individual budgeted?
Or is it that you think that the Navy doesn't have enough boats and the Army enough trucks to transport them?
The 'budget' argument is bullshit. People threw a fit about having them in their states, and Obama caved.
