Butthead impression, if I may, from the 90's MTV series Beavis and Butthead:
"WHOOOAAH. It really DOES work. Uuhuhuhuh huhuhuhuhuh."
Which is more $ - court battles over a manufacturer/dealer relationship, or just starting up a freaking new company called "Tesla Dealership of Michigan" that buys products to sell from Tesla Motors and meeting the law's requirements?
Is a "store" somehow cheaper than a dealership/manufacturer relationship for tax/other reasons or what?
Wang said given the structures' location which faces the main seaborne traffic, they may relate to surveillance.
I'm not sure which is more logical - the North Korea method of 'show what ya got with a bit of enlargement and flare' with clear public view to show off, or the Taiwanese method of showing you're building something with clear coordinates and pre-fabs already made, with a request to "hide" it from the enemies.
Um. An enemy knows where it is and can pinpoint it now, or just sent a few low orbit observation drones over it to have a look once/week.
This must be a distraction and nothing more. It's probably nothing of any true value, but with all eyes focused on it, they can build that nuke-ya-lur facility somewhere else. Or something. This is too stupid to make sense from the angle it's seen from now.
Sounds like wikipedia editors, camping out on a particular topic and not allowing any view counter to their own. I assume some limitations will be there, but seems potential for abuse, because the system is already abused.
Add Humans, abuse and maniacal control will ensue. Just as a relative monitoring method, watch how much stuff gets improperly moderated when the full moon is near. No joke. Ask anyone who works in a hospital/ER.:)
We are a multibillion $ company and the YouTube property makes us a ton of cash.
That said... well, we would LIKE to pay people to help make our site better.... but, well, our executives won't let us... something about buying an island... anyway, thanks!
Since the time this article was posted and now, they probably have all they need. People who want self-affirmation and a sense of control / megalomania. Imagine that. Thousands fighting for a cause that isn't well defined, with no way to combat their decisions or even explain a piece of information they're missing. This sounds like typical Google behavior. Ever tried calling their phone number? *hysterical laughing begins*
Now's the time for the alternate to come in to power.... if only someone had the resources and financial backing, as well as developers and lawyers...
Bastards are too cheap to hire, train, and pay people to censor stuff.
Indeed. And much better to blame someone who doesn't work for them when a suit hits over something stupid. "Look! it's the moderator's fault, not ours!"
What's the use? People are gonna do it anyway to feel empowered. Grumble Grubmle.
Devices that rely on heartbeat, breathing rhythm, sweat etc. only detect (some) emotional states with normal people, but not with psychopaths.
I have a subject they can test it on. If he is beaten by it, it's a world revolution product. Well, until lawsuits start flying about the unhealthy RF noise being emitted by this truth reader bot making you all cancerous and jazz.......... as said plaintiffs sit under a fluorescent light band in the court room without complaining.
So what you're saying here is that MIT have invented a wireless polygraph. Maybe we should build a bunch of portable ones and give them out to reporters.
Not a bad idea. I think it's a good idea to invent sub-dermal nano'tuders to help people cheat. There's $ome profit! Drooling....
Hey. It learned. When you copped an attitude, it would respond with guilt tripping to the fast healing of your body being impeded. Or wait, was that the hologram doc? I can't keep the two separated in my head.
Ever since I can remember, I had the ability to sense electromagnetic emissions from other people to detect their emotional state. I also had an ability I call "aural telepathy" -- the ability to sense a person's thoughts by tuning in to subtle sensations such as tiny vibrations in the air.
Spiders are teaming up as we speak to attack the USPTO over prior art. Just waiting.. Biding their time until...
Greetings, citizen! Your personal stress level appears to be elevated. To ensure a more harmonious life experience and enhance your calm, please report to the nearest behavioral modification center. Thank you for your cooperation, and have a joy-joy day.
And yet none of those are worthy of the attention of Slashdot. Why?
Because this is being done by the biggest tech company in the world, that's why.
Bullshit.
Bullshit for sure. Apple isn't the biggest tech company in the world, Google is.
MS used to be the biggest tech company in the world, but the malware known as Win10 is changing that.
All depends on what your metric for "Biggest" is. Most amount of real-estate held? Most number of employees? Most cash in the bank? Most assets of all kinds? Highest market-cap? Highest stock price?
When corporations get the size of Msft, Google or Apple, the term "biggest" gets to be kind of meaningless without further clarification.
Ok, ok, ok y'all. Settle down. Time for a CEO mud wrestling contest to determine the size of.. er.. the biggest of them all. Pardon me while I vomit after this post.
In fact, the paper bag was invented by a woman to serve baked goods in, at least the white one Apple describes. The brown paper bag was invented by another woman, too.
Ooh, ooh. A kid down the street (when I was a wee tot) cut two holes in a paper bag to put over his head as a Halloween costume accessory. He's like.. a freaking billionaire now! Awesome idea!/smartass
It is.. but you have it all wrong here... this TLD is the Korea Propaganda one. It's all part of the masterminded Kim-whatever's thing... you know, the one to show people about the stuff? Great place. You should go to school there. Hell, we all should. So much to learn from the collective. Details at tc.edu.pk. I can't get to it right now, but it's a very good site to show you all of the bullcrap you want to see before you're attacked by the good marionettes in happy land! Raaarrrrr!
Being a tech site, I'm curious: When did a registered domain become referred to as a single website.
Having looked at the articles, I see plenty of reference to 28 domains, but no mention of how many sub-domains each has, nor how many sites (blogs/static page/wiki/whatever) are hosted on each domain, and so I was wondering why it is being categorically stated here that there are only 28 websites. My understanding has always been that there can be multiple websites on a single domain, but Slashdot seems to be equating 1 domain=1 website here (and on looking at the links, even some inaccessible domains are being categorised as websites, when it is equally possible they are registered purely for email and have no webpages attached).
Come on, now.. They're a growing country. When you grow up, you have to get your own individual domain names. Imagery *coughbullcrapcough* is everything.
You capitalist pigs cannot access it because der Leader has decreed it so! (and somebody just pulled the cable from the PRNK side of our border router).
Reddit didn't do anything! It was ALL part of our plan to get attention....
"Has decreed..." You crazy/. person, you. It was his plan all along! If he can distract a few people for a minute or two, he can launch 42 nukes unnoticed and destroy the Internet-distracted' world! He's so smart! *cough*

Trump will build an habitat on mars and claim a 20 billion tax break for himself.
A habitat for what? Human feces? /humor
OK got a good laugh from that. Thanks. Unfortunately, prior art.. Lemmings. Did I just say Lemmings? Ooooooooooo! Bad mouth. Bad.

This sounds more like the Star Trek Medical Bed.
Yay!

Apple is going to eventually end up selling paper bags. And Microsoft is going to do the printing.
I have exclusive rights on selling apples in a paper bag. Dibs!
In fact, the paper bag was invented by a woman to serve baked goods in, at least the white one Apple describes. The brown paper bag was invented by another woman, too.

I thought Best Korea's domain was .bk
It is.. but you have it all wrong here... this TLD is the Korea Propaganda one. It's all part of the masterminded Kim-whatever's thing... you know, the one to show people about the stuff?

You just killed a North Korean system administrator

Come on, now.. They're a growing country. When you grow up, you have to get your own individual domain names. Imagery *coughbullcrapcough* is everything.
On the upside, with only 28 websites they don't really need domain name services, right?
Are you suggesting they should use... HOST FILES?
No, not at all. I'm suggesting that in a few minutes a person could access and bookmark all 28 websites via IP address.
Oh, come on, y'all. Go easy on the poor bastards. They're still practicing on their training wheels.
...is number of websites a good criteria to judge level of technology?
When 28 websites represents an entire fucking country in the year 2016, yes. Yes, it does.
Well, that, and an entire generation of shitty haircuts.
I think each of the sites, themselves, can be declared (bullshit) adware.
We see what you did there
And, unfortunately, can't un-see it.
Just think about Barney. The whole dirty vision in your mind will disappear quickly. *runs*
