Some enterprising young PFY is going to run around the google campus tomorrow shouting off about all the hits to a new google subdomain.
Any number of PHDs will be fevorishly amending their projects to fit into this new domain. The stock price is going to rocket based on yet more speculation of features and we will have even less reason to leave google.
I'm Sorry, the posting you just made is against the Slashdot posting terms. We believe you are a terrorist trying to hide data within your non-conformist post text.
After a detailed analysis of the contents of your posting, the waveform coeficients do not conform to standard slashdot thinking, more precisely, your posting failed to contain the phrases "first post", "in soviet russia" or "hot grits".
Ahhhhhhh, I have heard this before, and your kind of right, but thats only half the problem.
There has been a hurricane in YOUR town, your local power is out, you have no inteference and you are sending out SOS signals.
People in another unaffected town who would normally be able to hear your weak signal can no longer hear anything but static caused by their own localised BPL fuzz.
I would assume that the Ham radio users would be the first to know about disruption to their signals in the same way that us geeks are the first to know or care about SCO lawsuits. They will oppose anything which further clouds their airwaves.
Constructing templated emails and blasting them out to multiple servers doesn't require a full mail server. They are better using customised software which doesn't care about inbound mail.
Imagine being able to print your own newspaper as you walk out of the door for your daily commute.
You are just about to spend 45 minutes sat on a train or bus whilst you go to work, your daily read contains all the latest feeds from your respected news sites, your daily comics, a roundup of the sport and also the emails and project outlines you need for the day ahead.
You could arrive in work refreshed, updated entertained and alert.
Group think can be avoided by having a rating system tied to the actual rating rather than in +-1 steps.
Instead of 20 people all saying "yer, that was funny, +1" and instantly making a rather amusing comment blasted up and down like a yoyo (After the overrated mods kick in) you can have many more people saying "Funny=3" without the overrated mods. Concensus means its less likely to be over modded and doesnt bounce around.
Of course I Have seen Linux servers in use in lots of businesses, and I know they exist and do the job well. However, the customers I deal with barely know how to use a computer let alone requiring their own servers. If I still worked at my previous employers I would be giving completely different answers now (5 years ago, Linux installations were growing even back then), but in my current backwater environment, talking about Linux and OSS in general is a foreign language to them.
IDC stats and industry figures don't mean much to small companies and partnerships dealing with local customers, they go with what they see working and tbh its a nicer simpler way to live.
Basic reality is the people I am around on a day to day basis. Slashdot and the web in general are a large scale MMORG.
If I pushed for full OSS solutions to the majority of my customers they wouldn't be my customers for very long. Sure, a long term solution is in the works, and starting small with OSS projects helps (converting the offices to Firefox for example). I am certainly not against OSS, and someday hope to see offices full of tux, but as of right here and right now, there is only one customer who would be willing to even fire up a Linux disk, the others would just stare blankly.
We pay more for ready made items every single day of our lives. Sure, Linux is excellent, but until a critical mass of support confidence arrives managers won't even look at it (at least from my own experiences)
Mountains make for very tall starting points as well.
Whoever modded you as troll must be on something, its obvious the higher from ground level you are, the greater the distance your signal can travel before the earths curvature stops you.
I had an original 1.3 a500, and later got a 3.0 a1200. My ears must be more susceptable to the noise then, I remember clearly the noise subsiding with Noclick, but never totally vanishing. I'm still the same about noise, I can hear a dripping tap from the other side of the house, and on occasion am driven mad by outside repetative noises, however this is nowadays only when the pc is switched off, it does a good job at drowning out those edge of hearing sounds.

Re-entry?
I thought SS3 was going to be the one way journey?
We have to cull the super rich somehow.

All because you made a first post joke.
Congratulations.

Shooting a terrorist bomber in the head doesn't sound helpful.
How do the cops know if the person is
a) A terrorist in the first place? (See Jean Charles de Menezes for more info)
b) Isn't holding a dead mans' switch?
Shooting first and asking questions later seems like a scary way to be, the terrorists have already won if the police will do their job for them.

I don't want everyone to know.
By the way, are you interested in some viagra?

There will be partying in the care homes when this news spreads (via email of course).

I would love to have this capability.
With the amount of wireless data currently floating around, why are you more concerned about sniffing this kind of interference?
The question has never been is my data private, its always been are they interested in what I have to say.

I just noticed the missing pages as well, it was just getting interesting, and then it broke off.
The comical objections from Heise and Greenwalds calmness to it have made it a joy to read. Greenwald is so in control of the entire proceedings.
This is the google earth/maps imagary, short of writing a robots.txt on the roof, I don't see an automatic way to stop it.
However, the first thing they should have done is spoken directly to google who should be able to do something about it.
CD/DVD drives are slow. Hard disks are fast.
I am aware of that, but it hasn't dented the playstation or xbox so far.
A swift linux boot and the large cache available on modern pcs could make this a feasible option.
Just for the amusement factor of this video, I suggest you build an Intel Windows system and install Realplayer on it.
Mountains make for very tall starting points as well.

You forget, the evil-bit is also patented and not included in this processor.
Google executives have been monitoring developments carefully.
Hmmmmmm product placement.
After a hard night stealing cars I like nothing more than going round to a friends for "hot nescafe".
I had an original 1.3 a500, and later got a 3.0 a1200.
My ears must be more susceptable to the noise then, I remember clearly the noise subsiding with Noclick, but never totally vanishing.
I'm still the same about noise, I can hear a dripping tap from the other side of the house, and on occasion am driven mad by outside repetative noises, however this is nowadays only when the pc is switched off, it does a good job at drowning out those edge of hearing sounds.
As I recall Noclick was a later addition (more 1200 time), and that never even stopped it totally.
Lying in a silent room with just a distant clicking drove me nuts until after the hard drive went in (245mb quantum fireball).
Granted it was a lot noisier, but it was more like engine noise than a constant tapping, so I was happy.
It has not worsened.
The absolute 100% worst noise I ever had from a computer was in the Amiga days.
The Floppy disk click used to drive me potty.
It was like a dripping tap, and practically nothing could stop it.
At least the noise of a computer is a static stable background hum rather than a rythmic tapping (unless you own a deathstar of course)
