You can check out a fairly entertaining interview of Brian Greene by Stephen Colbert from last Thursday on Colbert's web site [colbertnation.com].
No I can't. Neither can anyone else outside the United States.
I'm in France and can also watch it here (without a proxy). The trick with it and the Daily Show is to watch all the video clips and not the full episode in one go (i.e., that is, use this link and not this).
Next thing, they will want you to declare the illegal drugs you carry...
That is just about as logical as this. FTFA, "Making a false statement to a customs officer carries a fine of up to $11,000 dollars while bringing in objectionable material, such as child pornography, can incur a fine of up to $275,000 and 10 years' jail.".
What kind of moran will declare ANY material with that kind of deal?
I don't condemn Drudge at all! I congratulate him for putting "real" journalist's feet to the fire like Jon Stewart (oh the irony).
My point is: how exactly is he different than Wikileaks? That's my point! He was famous for headlining the Monica Lewinsky scandal -- exposing abuse at the expense of the American interest. He's as much a journalist as anything Wikileaks exposes! Likewise, my hope is that Wikileaks will become a prime bookmark (maybe not homepage) for journalists in the future but the QUANTITY of novel information they have provided is unprecedented. But the "real" journalists still use these antiquated guys as critical tools for their "journalism" to lead their stories. Not much of an investigative journalism budget for MSM now-a-days.
Again, non-wire, original journalism is NOT in the MSM. I think we can both agree on that, no matter what your views are (unless your the head of CNN/Fox/MSNBC)...
Really, I think everyone in the US can agree that the MSM is shit and we need to finance independment (non-corporate) media. I know the tea parties have my back on that. Liberals would probably agree on that as well!. They would just have to STRICTLY restrict corporate financing.
Probably at least 14; you remember Drudge's influence on "journalism" during the Clinton years? He's just a linkmeister like most of the web now, certainly not more of a journalist than Wikileaks providing resources to NY Times, etc. But still influential and drives the news narrative since most journalists (supposedly) have him as a home page to launch their leads. Or that's what he became famous for from the late 90's anyway. It's hard to say if he's a leader or follower now from my POV... My point however is that journalists haven't driven the news by original, non-wire "news" in a long-time. It's been agenda-driven no matter who the "journalists'" leaders or masters are.
I think they should just require implementation of a copy-right bit in the DMCA. First bit of the binary file indicates if it's under copyright by a member of the RIAA? That'll work best for everyone right? **crickets**crickets**
Wall warts are just any unattractive thing that takes up space on you power outlets (ala warts). Big AC adapters are the usual, but I think these will fit the bill if they hang off the wall.
OK, I see your point to an extent; I was weighting the likelihood of someone having your password equally between the different critical vs non-critical sites. While the approach you're suggesting would reduce the probability of arriving at a worst-case scenario to begin with if the less-critical sites are more likely to steal your password. But considering the success of banking/email phishing (critical but sketchy) in the general populace I think my strategy still may be better in general.
LOL! That's just as bad. If you lose the third critical password, you could be royally 0wned. Better to use three passwords and mix and match each one of them among the critical/secure and insecure things. Then if you lose one, you might lose one critical thing but not all the critical things.
Actually, a nerve is not the same thing as a neuron (or "nerve cell" if you like). Nerves are bundles of axons extending from the neurons that travel to and from the sensory/muscle systems to the nervous system. For example, we have 12 cranial nerves and about 30 spinal nerves.
Of all the devices that unnecessarily have DRM, why a calculator? How can TI possibly think this is helpful? They just seem to be neurotically following Apple's lead when they could make their device so much more useful. Ugghh... (and no I didn't RTFA).
Well, since this apparently was just put online recently you probably made the right decision. But since there seems to be so much interest in this thread, hopefully it may becomed polished rather quickly for future needs.
I just don't think that's true. Some of/.'s usuals are egregious egotistical bastards (myself included). I don't trust any individual here... But I like to think the meta-meta group outweigh the fags...
I can understand an occasional AC post. When you know the group-think is going to smack you down as a troll and you think it's right and you want your opinion at least heard. Also, as you said when it's work related it's nice to be Anon.
People should have the opportunity to be anonymous I think, you/we just don't have to value it as much as people that back their POVs with their names (or pseudonyms).
That's the genuis I believe in/.'s system. Posters with names automatically are modded up a bit, while Anons still have a tenuous chance at being modded Insightful.
No other boards that I'm aware of with mods have that, and I greatly value it... Certainly, with semi-professional mods that simply smack people down that disagree with them. That's why again, the meta-mod system on/. is a great equilibrator...
Just my 2c
What, even if I'm not logged in anymore I don't see trolls like I did 10 yrs ago. Your ID is on the same order of magnitdue as mine and I know I lurked here for earlier than that and imagine you did as well, but in anycase, I would like whatever you are smoking please. Blatant trolls are a thing of the past on/.; at least in conventional viewing. Yes, if you lurk at -1 whatever...
Right on, but Slashdot perfected the mod system ten years before these craptacular news sites did (I'm looking at you HuffPost -- uggggghhh). As far as I'm concerned it has been effective and got rid of the GNAAs (which are about the worst trolls on the web I've ever encountered). Every other sensible site should follow/.'s model. I'm not just being a brown-noser. CmdrTaco et al. did something very innovative here as far as I know. If they were Amazon, they would have had a patent and made MILLIONS!!;)
Bruce Schneier already knows Alice AND Bob's secret; all he has to do to detect cheating is eye a test taker until their lies burst into flames. Nothing hides from Bruce Schneier... Nothing.

How about a link to the paper?
...cyberlithium....
Isn't that just /.?

500,000 square feet == 11.48 acres
So, I suppose that means the new datacenter will be 12+ stories high.
I'm sure they don't censor criticism of the Iranian government (see Green Revolution).

What would the world be like then?!

Your article is far more interesting and substantial that the little blurb in the /. post.
Microsoft have made several contributions to the Linux kernel...
ORLY? I'm genuinely curious what they have contributed to the kernel.
D'oh, I'm still not used to /.'s whacky "new" comment system. My previous post was a response to you, not the gp.
