You can tell the slashdot crowd has matured when it starts to look up the rules pertaining to something when a hack is posted. While it may be for the better, I like the days when we could push the bounds without question. I don't think the new kids these days are pushing the limits anymore.
Microsoft is disguising "Tips and Tricks" as a way to sell out your lock screen and is having you store your files on their cloud so that the government, Microsoft, it's "partners", and advertisers have full access to all your data.
The National Electric Code is going to start requiring that refrigerators have ground fault interrupt protection. Ground faults are known to fail at random. If your refrigerator had a small, battery powered Wi-Fi IoT device, you could be alerted that your fridge has lost power. Saving you both money and a giant mess. This is even more useful for a second home fridge or a fridge that is less used such as one in a basement. There are certainly other ways to alleviate the failed power fridge problem, such as a GFCI outlet that makes sense audible alarm if tripped, but having another tool in the arsenal isn't always a bad day.
I don't understand the entire thing with this whole gregorian-love where we put so much emphasis on an old and outdated date and time system. Seconds past 1970 should be the only time format we use.
They want you to enable HSTS for long duration (1 year), with certificates that expire in a week so that when you mess with the authorities and don't comply with their demands, they are able to wipe you off of the Internet faster.
I've heard that in a lot of oil rich countries that the stairways of their skyscrapers are used just to store things. Their mentality is that a concrete building would never burn. It's all about the fire load inside of the building, and if your paths of emergency egress is blocked, then your fatality rate is going to be much higher. A regularly inspected fire pump/sprinkler system, automatic magnetic doors closers, and training coupled with a safety plan isn't that expensive or difficult in the context of running a high rise. Followed properly, it will be the safest place you can be in.
Also it's worth noting that many in emergency seevices hold multiple jobs, just like you. Someone that is an EMT at a plant may also be on an ambulance several days a week. That way they have more experience in a busy environment and are able to sit and relax at a job where there are fewer calls. They all generally have the same training regulated through a state ems board. It's not like these companies just hire off the street and have them go through in house power point training.
This is against everything we know about cross site scripting. It is like having ?errormessage=text at the end of a URL. We know the security implications of this, and we know not to do it. The potential for abuse is way too high.
Until there is something that normal desktop users would use (no, not workstations), I would like to see it stay around 4GB so that people writing applications for desktop users don't do horrible things that are solved by throwing more RAM at the problem.
The iPhone has had a small amount of RAM since the start, and this has changed only slightly, and it's been for the better.
Yeah, the solution to get this done is easy, it's just sometimes hard to understand the elitism within some support communities when it comes to answering basic questions for scenarios that don't match the use most common use cases.
Yeah, like when I want to create a kiosk from scratch using linux and want to have it autologin as a user and start x.
Asking on forums just leads to one being berrated and told that it is insecure to have a machine where someone is logged in without producing credentials. Why is it not a valid security model, to have a user called "public"? Especially whenever nothing mission critical is used on said machine?
In America we plug things into other people's sockets all the time, and I think it's even an electrical code violation to make the socket unavailable.
While I'm sure they have the right to ask you to leave if they don't want you using their power, they can't have you arrested for it. It's even the same for a gun in most states, you can be asked to leave and arrested for not leaving after police show up, but not arrested for the gun itself. Granted, the gun example is not true in all jurisdictions, I Am Not A Lawyer etc.
Unless you're hurting someone or breaking something, the only punishment for violating one of these "rules" should be being asked to leave, and then being detained or removed if you refuse to do so or if go back after they told you not to come back on their property. Pretty simple stuff really, granted some areas have hard to deal with people; in a lot of the USA everyone is pretty friendly minus large metropolitan areas where they try to fix this by adding more rules.
Thank you! That makes it less absurd to punish him, although I still think a civil fine is more appropriate than an arrest.
I think that is what happened, from the wording of the summary he didn't get arrested until he started acting crazy about it; thus getting arrested for "unacceptable behaviour".
Slashdot Mirror
I thought slashdot always did paid text links?
This is obviously the government trying to sway public support, the entire story being a red herring.

Whatever happened to pirate radio?

Guess I should consider looking at OpenBSD
That's why a good editor would say:
A naked singularity, or a black hole without surrounding mass, was...

and one of us will send it up the chain if it looks useful
It sure beats the bad car analogies from SCO v IBM
Yeah, why use these data centers when you can just put your data in the cloud?

This is why you should always store timestamps as seconds past January 1, 1970 UTC. In this event, nano seconds.

I wish that we'd get a Star Trek reboot based on a post DS9/VOY time period. There is just so much to work and build from there.
What is wrong with each site being on it's own virtual machine?
They added support for different types of VPNs.

It would appear that the law can be adapted to be either no or never.
A better headline would be, "Are plastic roads the future?"
