I guess it's cos no-ones heard of him, and by being on the front page of Slashdot it's sort of in everyone's face.
People need to get over this whole `ooh isn't trolling terrible` whinging on the internet. It's not going away, and it's just people typing the sort of thing people have always said to their friends anyway. I know there are people who love to archive every last fart on the internet because `you never know in the future what you should have saved in the past` but most of the stuff on the internet is without value, and this trolling is no exception. If you expose yourself to comments from people you don' t know (as opposed to purely using email, google+, facebook etc) then I can't see it ever going away.
I want to avoid meetings but not be left out of the loop. If only there were some way of communicating ideas or instructions between people without everyone concerned having to physically sit in the same room at the same time...
You pay loads of money for software because of, amongst other things, the supports. Pirates aren't going to get support, so remove that from the cost.
By your reckoning, I could take a photo of my cat, burn it to a CD, stick it on eBay with a price of 100 trillion dollars, and if anyone copies it from me and sells it for $100 they're the biggest, most successful criminal of all time. They're not - they're selling disks for $100.
I think nobody cares either way. The site is unpopular, the owner is...well, the owner of an unknown site. (I went there a few times back in the day - it's basically a blog for drama-queens with a moderation system even more broken than Slashdot's). So I'm sure Facebook etc don't really care whether people are dead or not, as long as they can say `meh, someone told us he's dead. He's not? Oh, ok. Whatever. What's the share price?'.
I never deliberately select caps lock but I must be pressing it sometimes but I notice occasionally that when I go to enter a password I see the `caps lock is selected` message and have to press it to make it go away. Removing the damn key sounds like a result to me as I'd never see that message again.
Feel free to remove sysrq, pause and scroll-lock too - they either do nothing or are no use to me. Some of this stuff could be stuck on to other keys the way laptaps do, accessible via Fkeys or something. This would help standardise their location so you could move between devices with less pain.
Wrong. It's essential for them to be able to bypass the protection and see who is talking to who, and perhaps also what they are saying. It's not essential that they make it appear to be ineffective, as some people are still going to use TOR anyway as an extra layer of protection if for no other reason.
I moved on from Ubuntu to mint KDE thanks solely to unity. There's absolutely no way I'd replace the perfectly function, sane Android interface with that crap.
In little more than a blink of an eye we're going to experience the heat-death of the universe, where there will never be anything - ever, anywhere - again. And you want to talk about kids?
Reminds me of a mate who runs a few sites - every few days he gets amusing emails from irate idiots who've received spam from spammer's who've randomly selected his site's email addresses as `reply-to` addresses, threatening to report him to the `internet police` or name and shame him etc. He used to reply to them, but now he's got a bunch of rules to just delete them, amusing as they are.
So yeah, `naming and shaming` the ISP responsible for temporarily allocating a dynamic IP address to some granny who's used some Microsoft browser to access the wrong site and has ended up running a zombie server for an eastern european crime syndicate is as amusing as it is futile.
Presumably it's quicker and easier to fund a complete new version of VLC that it is to work out how the fuck you're supposed to launch and run a program under Windows 8?
Exactly. I'm sure TOR is effectively broken, at least in the US, as I'm assuming the NSA has access to every single exit node. I'm sure there's either official or unofficial access to all traffic at ISP level. It's just an extension of Project Shamrock. The NSA has the money to build and make the kit and do the maths to crack a lot of encryption but it was probably decided at some point in the last 20 or 30 years that they couldn't continue to assume that domestic or foreign traffic could always be defeated technically and that other means would be required.
How does that work? Either you can get to the site or you can't. Perhaps the IsItDownForJustMe type sites can be extended: IsItDownForJustOtherIsraelisOrEverythingElseToo.com perhaps?
Juggling is boring though, performed by annoying, attention seeking arseholes who always get in your face. That's why I support anything that will encourage jugglers to experiment with knives, chainsaws and fire. Here's hoping.

That was 4 months ago. People have started to become annoyed with Apple in the last two months? People are addicted to Apple.

Google just brought out a map product for Apple and Apple's sales have again risen far higher than usual - people were holding off buying their products until it was fixed.

I hope you're right (I'm an Android fan boy, apparently). But I think you're wrong. For now at least the numbers don't lie.
Yes, once you've seen what was called Metro before Microsoft discovered that they were going to have to give it another name, and you've googled for `uh..how do I do stuff on my computer like..uh..get the control panel up...shut it down...exit full screen mode on that ugly application` you'll find the Windows key, which allows you entry into a whole new front end, which is a little like Windows 7 only the stuff at the bottom of the screen is missing. You have to move the mouse around in the corners and the edges of the screen and usually the same stuff will appear that appeared last time you sort of moved your mouse around that part of the screen.

I was too busy attempting to parse "Would that more in both major parties thought like this.".
Sounds like trawling. Perhaps one word is a corruption of the other?

There's no need to elaborate, is there? The analogies you conjur up in your mind are sufficient to tell you just how stupid an idea this is.
What does this have to do with Unit Tests?

I see your problem.
I never deliberately select caps lock but I must be pressing it sometimes but I notice occasionally that when I go to enter a password I see the `caps lock is selected` message and have to press it to make it go away.

Might as well give it a go if they're Chinese. They weren't going to use the pleasure centre part of their brains anyway.

If anything they would simply have evolved to not attack humans.

It could have been worse - this could have been another tiresome Raspberry Pi ("the cheap crap computer money can't buy") story.
