If anything, they should have just reminded her to quietly take down the picture, so she would not go through the hell of having her students find out about her 20-something escapades.
But no, when small-town redneck buttfuck USA sees anything that goes against Bible 2.0, you're screwed. If you do anything but suck Jaysus' cock in these towns you're a t'rrist and don't deserve to be treated like one of them.
Shit, I've had some bad photos taken of me. There's probably still a midget with a bondage fetish out there jerking off to that set of pictures.
I'd mod you down, but there's no "-1, Some Jackass Jumping To Conclusions"
Really now, stop it. There's no reason to believe, at all, that Google is ignoring link structure. Google probably sees a certain percentage of inbound links (with the exact same title) in a short period of time (say a week or two) and marks it as a potential Googlebomb.
Whoop-di-friggin-do. Yeah, it hurts shit like blog pranks, but it also fucks up spammers big time. Remember, a Googlebomb isn't just fun and games, it's also plenty of Viagra spam.
Meanwhile, the rest of us who work at getting high search rankings honestly have not been hurt. Amazing.
I don't really see this as a "lapse" in security. I mean, it was an XML file with updated scares, not a SQL database with every known Social Security Number. The application in question (a flash scoreboard) doesn't exactly call for some kind of PKE scheme.
... after reading all of this, does this mean that China is starting its own root, isolated from the rest of the world, or is it starting a roo that can understand chinese characters?
I'm thinking the latter, though I'm at work and don't really care either way.
While I can run the "client software" on legacy hardware (whatever they define that as), I still can't run, with any decent performance, a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP2 on my 386, whereas I can pop in my FreeSCO CD and use the machine as a router (or Slackware and use it as a terminal/IRC/MUD/Bugzilla/CVS/Whatever server).
It's not what I can display on a monitor with my old hardware, it's what I can get that damn machine to do.
As far as gaming cheaters are concerned, it means almost nothing. The system hooks are still present and useable. The only thing that would stop cheaters are games that stop trusting the clients.
doesn't take take the fact that stores make a profit into account
I don't know what distributor your retail store goes to, but the top three distributors of video game consoles usually sell at a higher cost than MSRP per sale, with minimal discounts on bulk orders.
For example, Dayton, one of the largest distributors, charges $400.16 per Xbox 360 unit, $399 for a bulk order of 10-20, and minimal discounts (if any) for larger orders - that's assuming you can even get a shipment that large.
Once you factor in shipping and marketing costs, retailers (especially the smaller ones) take a loss on selling a console. Why do you think so many of them religiously preach suggestive selling?
Funny, I haven't had to uninstall Firefox since 1.0 was released. Since then I've only had to click the red-tree-button-thing in the upper-right hand corner when an update was ready, run the installer, and be done with it.
Hell, now that I'm on Ubuntu I just wait until Synaptic has an auto-update ready, click on the red button in the notification area, and *poof* - my OS and my third-party software is updated.
Of course, to counter your argument "is this acceptable for a production enviornment" I would say that, yes, it is. Microsoft, the king of production enviornments to date, has shown that regular updates to the core operating system, its components, and provided software (IE, Outlook express, Office, etc...) is not only helpful, but required on a monthly basis. These updates often require rebooting the machine, whereas Firefox only really needs you to install a piece of software. Heck, the upcoming version will be modular so you won't even need the installer.
As for your question "why is the testing so poor?" It's not. The OSS model, for the most part, is to release beta software so users can, well, use it during normal day-to-day operations. This ensures that the product will, in fact, work when nominal conditions are met. The real problem is anticipating extrordinary conditions, which is almost impossible - a lesson which Microsoft has learned the hard way over the past 5+ years.
You could, in fact, turn your own argument around: "Well, another bug was found, and now we have to wait until patch tuesday. Unil then, we'll have to hold our breath and hope that an exploit doesn't spread in the wild. When patch Tuesday comes around we'll all have to hit windows update, download the large patch, install, reboot, and hope that the atch doesn't break any of our third-party and in-house products."
The truth is OSS and Closed-source are two sides of the same leaf: programming. Bugs are a part of programming. When you're dealing with multiple class inheritence, nests upon nests of loops, parsers, lexical analysis, et al. bugs are just a part of life. I've never met a developer - FOSS or otherwise - who has developed a program that is bug-free and 100% to spec.
Because that's 20 lawmakers who were either bought out by the industry, or are clueless about technology in a technological age. In either case, they can heavily influence their cohorts. It can (not saying it will) be a viral effect.
What's the angle? Have you not been keeping track of what exactly Google is?
Google is, first and foremost, an advertising company. They are going to offer "service and location based" advertising with the free Wi-Fi.
This is just another service built on top of their advertising network.
Almost everything Google does is built on top of their advertising network.
What's in it for Google? A few million people being forced to see the Google Ads.
That's not a bad thing, in my opinion. A few ads for 300kbs wireless Internet connectivity in the United States? Sign me up.
Keep in mind that this is not like NetZero:
NetZero was trying to build an ISP out of Ad revenue. Google is trying to enhance their advertising network by offering an ISP.
The ISP side of Google can simply be a loss leader in order to obtain a wider understanding of their audience. Hey, it adds a ton value to AdWords, which means they can charge a premium for that service over Yahoo! or MSN, and still remain a dominant force in that market.
If they roll this out nation-wide, this is going to make Google a ton of money.

Dear Slashdot,
We don't need a literal translation of every sound made during the interview.
Thank you,

I think the submitter found 12 different ways to say "the iPhone is not running OSX"
IIXIV? Did you just do subtraction with roman numerals?
I thought Philips had a much larger role in developing Red Book than Sony did, whereas Sony supported the format with their devices?
This rise in spam is actually an elaborate plan in order to get through John C Dvoraks spam filter.
You mean 32-bit, right? The desktop 64-bit processors out now are x86 processors, unless I missed the memo that we were all to move to RISC.

No fair. I was expecting poorly drawn fox chicks spanking goth rabbits and all I get are women kissing each other. What gives?!
