I vividly recall a panel where he made the mistake of asking "okay, now give me any name at all, and I'll look them up", and somebody yelled "Jack Valenti", and then for a brief, blissful ten seconds, we had Jack Valenti's Social Security Number up on the big screen.
I'm sure as a snarky comment poster on slashdot you are perfectly capable of auditing code for 0-day vulnerabilities and then writing exploits for said vulnerabilities. Then you'd be perfectly capable of using them to root a box on the same switch as a freenode server and using ARP spoofing to play man-in-the-middle to all incoming connections.
The first step is fine. The second step might even be okay.
The third step renders you essentially unemployable, should your employer find out.
MIT's The Tech published its first issue online in May 1993. From the Web site of one person involved:
The early 90s saw a number of big changes at the paper that I was lucky to be involved in. We replaced the Atex editorial system and Compugraphic type setters with Macintoshes running Quark XPress and the Quark Publishing System. Josh Hartmann, Reuven Lerner, and I set up The Tech's first Web server using a 20-line Perl-based HTTP server written by Mitchell Charity. We published the first issue online in May 1993.
It is horrible that google actual tells people when their search results have been censored. How is what they are doing worse than doing nothing and just letting China wontonly censor the data with none the wiser as to what was censored.
I don't know any "solution to the China problem." But that has nothing at all to do with the fact that Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft, along with a horde of other first-world companies, have worked together to get money out of China; and none has so far demonstrated any concern for human rights.
This is why Captain Planet always fought supervillains and not generic evildoers: the show's executives were afraid they would turn children against their parents who worked in environmentally unsound factories, agriculture, etc.

"Hi [nane of guy on mailing list whose criticism makes him sound like an asshole], Thanks for your comments about functionality XX. The development team is aware of this problem, and we committed a preliminary patch for the bug to our source-control system about a month ago. We're still working to make sure that this feature fits in with the rest of the system without any trouble, but if all goes will, you should see XX improved in our next point release.
We really appreciate user feedback -- thanks a lot for talking to the YY team! Best, me"
Yeah, I know - those two and three year olds, having no work or school to keep their twisted little minds busy, hang out in all the loony-bin chat rooms discussing their delusional symptoms-of-the-week, right?
That's the Media Lab. Their job is to make flashy things and get funny press coverage (and One Laptop Per Child: that's right, kid with two laptops, I'm talking to you -- get back here and give me that!)
Outside of E15, there's quite a lot of "real" (conventional, Nature-worthy) research.
Slashdot Mirror
Also, people in India are used to seeing those around them have their limbs fall off, so it'd be no big deal.
In a nation of one billion people, I guess they can't bother to care about the fate of *all* the lepers -- or even, as it turns out, any of them.
Is this the same guy I saw at H2K2?

Tee hee. It sounds like KDE is finally catching up with emacs?
"Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Barbershop and Scent of a Woman"
That sounds like a fantastic movie. When's it coming out?
What value would respect have if it was given freely and equally regardless of what a person is or does? What would be the point.
Isn't that roughly what Jesus asked?
People reselling new Dell machines on eBay typically make a profit of $0-$300/machine.
My other car is first.

Yarrr!

Reports are that this works very well for iBooks and poorly or not at all for Macbooks.
Google would only be depriving the Chinese of a tool by pulling out
Heh heh heh.
Are you sure that Google tells people?

Both appear to have implicitly colluded in China.
Every time I looked at Hypercard -- and HTML -- I thought "gosh, what an unnecessarily complicated Choose Your Own Adventure Book!"
"If you look at hard core porn, turn to page 12.
If you post to Slashdot, turn to page 14."

I usually just drag my poodle over the bright green carat.

Other popular MIT mailing lists include reuse-ask, reuse-sell, and reuse-sex.
True story.
This means that software can now patent people.

Worse -- their parents do.
A 50 year old who harasses a 14 year old at a mall is a sexual predator.

Hi,
I haven't really paid attention to the "attack actual spam messages" front.
How is this any different from forwarding my email to myspamaddress@spamcop.net?
