The FBI swiped tens of thousands of them in 324 Bitcoin transactions last time. 324 spells FBI on a telephone keypad. Who knew the feds can have a sense of humor.
Probably because solutions that depend on the herd to implement never happen. Not arguing for or against, I am just saying that expecting everyone to do the right thing will not happen. The only way it does is to legislate it. People are generally selfish and will continue to choose the $1 widget over the $10 widget.
I am a phone typist the way my Dad is computer keyboard typist. Slow and painful to watch. I can smoke a regular keyboard (and not bad on a bb keyboard) but touchscreens are a challenge for me, no matter how much I practice on a touchscreen I will never be faster than a 14 yr old girl with tiny fingers on a gossip mission.
I use gmail with thunderbird and generally avoid the webmail unless absolutely necessary. I have always found it god awful. Email is a simple UI but google has managed to bastardize the webmail client for no reason I can really understand.
My only problem with the new theme was the tabs on top and the status bar disappearing. Why are they so adamant about tabs on top anyway, who cares where we put them? For me I just prefer it that way. Classic theme restorer works well for this one feature. But that's two add-ons I have needed to restore functionality now. Will see what it does to performance.
You shouldn't have to lock your data down. I can see GPL'd code and can use it and distribute it but I can't close source it and then resell it as a proprietary app and then say "hey if you didn't want me to use it you shouldn'thave made it available". That is the license we agree to. A clear license lines out acceptable use and it looks to me like they are trying to strike a balance between being solvent and user friendly. But freeloaders will ruin it for others.
that's not how slashdot works. This is a truly free speech zone. That's what moderation is for. It buries but never deletes which is a much better system. For those who truly want to read everything set to -1 and fill your boots. For the rest of us set it from 1 to 5 as per your own preference and you can avoid reading totally horrible stuff.
Better yet, for most of the first world, just drink local water. It's idiotic to ship water that comes from a "public source" (aka "the tap") in a city hundreds of miles away.
Can't anybody just let life happen anymore? No more spontaneous meetups, no more random happenings. Everything orderly, predictable and uploadable for facebook to make money with. I'm no luddite, I spend a good amount of my life working with and using technology, but stuff like this? I guess this is where I diverge from the younger generation. To each his own I guess. Don't mean to come down as judgmental or anything, I would like to hear the other side and how this stuff actually makes life better.
Indeed. It's called Lego Digital Designer and it is a free download from Lego's site. My 5 year old son still prefers real lego's though. I used LDD to design a sweet lego case for my raspberry pi.
You don't need to tweet for twitter to be useful. Many people follow others or use it to keep on top of things. For example, if there is a minor earthquake somewhere there is no better place to really find out what happened quickly than twitter. "Holy crap, #EARTHQUAKE, shook the building for 30 seconds"
After I started learning to code very late in life I realized that I will never finish learning and probably will never be as good at it than really good coders. But on the flip side I don't want to be someone who is paid to code. I am building these skills to enhance the ones I already have and just for fun. It's opened up so many project possibilities for me. Now if I can only keep getting better.

Huh? Read what you just wrote. I would say knowingly breaking your contract is a breach of ethics.
If this is legit you can certainly understand why nobody could ever download these right?

Goddamnit! thought you were bitching about a comment. Nevermind. there are no editors here. baah...back to work.

You might just be joking around but the day I attribute a level of soul to an inanimate object is the day I start looking for mine.

I have a kid, and I love him. But you are totally within your rights not to. Nothing wrong with that.
um /. or is it \. whatever.
he must of hacked into his dad's ./ account.
"Hey man, I have bad news. I have cancer."
Friend: rolls eyes.
