Frankly digg has already become more useful to me than Slashdot. I really just keep visiting here out of very old habit. I've been using this site for years and frankly it has been neglected by the "editors". Maybe this will actually encourage some innovation at this site for the first time in years.
Right you suspect because there are no Chinese who can/would speak out against their government without harsh retaliation. You are probably right that large numbers of Chinese are okay with how they are living, if it was otherwise there would probably be more uprisings. However, there were more than 70,000 uprisings in the rural areas last year. How often do you read about those on the BBC? Why?
But this guy is an ass. There are plenty of Open Source products that people don't pay for. Does Google pay for Linux and Apache? Does Yahoo pay for FreeBSD, does Apple? Nope. If you don't like it, don't use the license.
Someone would probably give OpenBSD a grant, but Theo has already proven he doesn't know when to shut up and has problems playing with others. Cry me a river.
There are some people that are going to be pissed off no matter what. If we followed this attitude, we would still have Jim Crow laws because people like you would be trying to placate the KKK.
Instead of coddling the KKK (terrorists), let us make sure that these groups have a ready outlet to protest the discrimination and poverty they undoubtably face. We need less Bin Ladens and more MLK Jrs from the Middle East, and no more Western apologists.
Do you keep backups forever? Most places I know have a well defined cycle when their tapes get reused or their backups get deleted. Google has made no such assurances.
If you were a prosecutor with any amount of sense at all, wouldn't you request the same thing? It isn't some big conspiracy theory to hurt Google, this is someone doing their job, and a pretty good one from what it sounds like. It will be interesting to see what records pop up.
I was running Java in 1995. I was also running Slackware Linux in 1995, so it would be hard to call me a Microsoft moron by any means. Sure is easy to snipe at people as an anonymous coward.
z0mg you are a dumbass for not understanding the difference between userland and kernel. Like I said earlier, most Solaris admin tools ARE written in Java. Twit.
No, and no one is saying it should be. I love how people fail to distinguish between kernel and userland. In fact, most of the GUI admin tools for Solaris ARE written in Java.
Slashdot Mirror
Take a look at Go and then ask yourself why there are no good Go AI programs. Chess is easy to "solve" with computers, Go isn't, yet anyway.
So what operating system has MP3, DivX, WMV, MKV, etc without installing software or codecs?
You know there is a difference between megaBytes per second and megaBits per second right?
Yeah, we should prevent anyone who doesn't have a Myspace account running for office. On second thought...
WTF is right. I've never seen anything like this. Why is it always ScuttleMonkey promoting shady stories to the homepage?
What the?

Explosions RULE!

How much did LWCE pay for this story? Can we look forward to more? I can't wait.
Anyone else remember when Sony was a respected brand? What the hell happened?

Or VALinux
I think that SELinux has the potential to be a more secure kernel than many of the *BSDs.

But but but, Google has a web page that says they won't be evil! This can not be!
Yeah, no other type of TV uses caps.
You suck.
