Well, you know, Stalin was really good at reaching out to, and coming to an understanding with, Soviet scientists whose work cast doubt on the inevitable glorious triumph of New Socialist Man over not only the imperialistic forces of bourgeoise capitalism, but also nature itself. And there was nothing touchy-feely about it.
You might want to consider the result of that policy on the prosperity of the countries of the former soviet union. And you might want to consider how little the regime eventually lasted (on an historical scale).
Some culpability is appropriate seeing as Microsoft took our money and should be somewhat responsible for the damages caused by the vulnerability of their faulty products)
Windows is not cheap, but if liability came in the package it would be much more expensive.
You're crazy, i never talk on the phone while debugging.

Before "civilization", nature would weed out genetic defects like that
And this is nature weeding out the weakest races. If a species has a tendancy to weaken itself it will be less "fit" in the battle for survival with the other species. Other species like viruses that thrive in 3rd world countries we don't really care about and endlessly combine to be deadlier. It's like a wound that we wont heal. Or we can lose to other species that can live without endlessly destroying their environment, which in the end, are the only ones that live.
Now you made me sound like those greenpiece weirdos...
I think there is a fundamental diference here. Copyrighted file sharing was illegal even before napster, and that status is not likelly to change in the forseable future. However the connection sharing is not illegal, it is only against the terms of service of some isp's. Competition could perheaps drive all isp's to at least tolerate the practice. How about having your ISP's name included in your ssid? That's a very reasonable compromise. What if the ISP wants an extra 10$ each month to allow you to share the connection? Well then the cost of access to the Why-Fi network is 10$ for you. Not bad, i think.
Wired.com is reporting that at least five convicted felons secured management positions at a Diebold, including one who served time in a Washington state correctional facility for stealing money and tampering with computer files in a scheme that 'involved a high degree of sophistication and planning.'"
No one can force me to reveal my secure password. I can choose to die rather than reveal it, and if I die, the protected data will die with me.
While i really dont think biometrics is a good idea, enough torture will break you like it breaks ppl trained to resist it. Everyone has a breaking point. Maybe you'd tell your password if it meant they wouldn't burn your children alive. Sometimes it's not as easy as "choosing to die".
Yeah, I do hope we Americans some day figure this out. That last nuclear war with Russia was pretty bad.
I must have missed it in the news. Perheaps you can send me a subscription for your fantasy world newspaper?
You're an idiot.
Nothing beats an insult from some unknown ignorant with no supporting arguments. I mean you should be in Bush's office, you'd fit right in. Regarding grandparent, maybe you'll want to count the towers in New York. That also "could never happen".

"Frankly, I don't want Budweiser knowing when I choose to buy their beer versus another brands."
That was one of the most pathetic things i've read in slashdot in years and i do make the occasional -1 excursion.
Let's all pretend he didn't say that, as a "thank you" for his efforts in this website.

Yes, maybe fsck could unformat their drives.

Cool? But does it run Linux?
Well, whatever peace the US brings to the middle east, it is certainly "Spear-Headed"...
Also, lol @ whole quote. Some good points otherwise.
Give a man a iTMS gift certificate and you'll entertain him for a day, give him kazzalite and you'll entertain him for 10 lifetimes.
Omg i got modded informative. It's a joke, ppl!

Maybe slashdot should add RFID to the stories, so that when they come the 2nd time around we can detect them right away...
Point taken. However i do not consider my cash withdraw daily limit worth dying for. But maybe that's just me.
