I don't recall seeing this many 4 and 5 digit users in one thread in.. like.. 15 years? more?
Bottom line: Slashdot is not fresh. I still hit it once or twice a day but rarely is there anything not already seen hours (or days) prior elsewhere. I mean I could live with Timothy if at least the stuff posted on the front page was new and interesting. And on that interesting front.. total loss of focus there too. Too much non-nerd non-news that matters (to nerds). Anything that is going to be front page or high up on CNN, NY Times, etc almost certainly does not belong on/.
Apple has already blown half that pile by taking out $100B in combined bonds and 'special' debt in order to buy back stock and pay dividends. By the time they are finished with this buy back program nearly all of that cash will have been spent.
once again our wonderful elites think that fucking over all but the handful of bad actors is a *great* thing to do. Why? Because they can consolidate power. No cash means all transactions are traceable. What a gift to the IRS, FBI, divorce attorneys, hackers or anyone on a fishing expedition. You know what you need to replace the buying power of that $1,000 note cancelled in 1969? $6,530! Put another way, a "$1,000" note today is worth $148.69 of 1969 money. And they want to elimiate the $100? all $14 of it?
I have used uBlock and find slightly better results than with adblock but certainly the barriers to entry for adblockers can't be very high. Completey stupid if adblock sells out.
Yes it does. It impeeds people who have people to see, things to do and places to go. As I stated, this town has had the same population for nearly 50 years and the same speed limit. The one death I am aware of happened in a crosswalk at a major multi-road intersection. So to argue 'do it for the children' because they might dart out is to ignore all evidence, including the fact that few of them even play in streets or yards anymore. Those that do "play" do so at organized sporting type events on gated fields with parking lots.
one area of a town near me just started an "experiment" of dropping limit from 30 to 25. Its all about a) the children and b) money. Never mind town population has been stagnant for 40+ years with 30 mph limit and a stellar safety record or that few, if any, children play in the street anymore.
Can you cut lose whomever Timothy is/are? And maybe hire somebody who will actually take the time from their very busy day to make sure posts are not duplicates, are not clickbait, are reasonably coherent submissions... basically all those things you expect a person with editorial responsibilities to do?
She received material from SAPs which even if markings were removed (if they existed) she would know were highly classified from being briefed on the programs. She had an obligation to report those breaches and did not. The consequences for a DoD or IC community employee doing the same would have included termination and most likely prosecution. Transferring material from a secure system to an insecure one is the equivalent to making a copy and bringing it home. See forrmer CIA director Deutch for an example.
This. She had an obligation to report any mishandled classified information sent to her. In the case of the SAP material, she would have known that was only available from a private network. It is pretty clear that she (and many of her staff) just didn't give a fuck.
But seriously - when was the last time/. had any meaningful story before some other aggracator such as Hacker News? Rarely bother with the comments on something I've already read and seen comments elsewhere that for all intents will be similar to anything here.
It is kind of shocking that the new boss says they aren't going to make many changes (at least not soon!) Might really be dead by the time they try to fix it.
I made my peace nearly 10 years ago when I bailed on Slakware (and I was one of its early adopters in the 90s). While I did like the underdog status of NetBSD, I settled on FreeBSD, have not looked back and use it on servers, desktops and even a laptop (gasp!). Perhaps I'm more easily satisfied because new shiny never was a big thing to me.
Thats an assinine argument. So any commie terrorism would be foreign because of Marx? Are terrorist acts by pro-life bible thumpers not domestic because their inspiration is the Bible, published elsewhere?
It is domestic because it was not (from what has been leaked as "known" so far) directed from outside the US.
And as wtih Paris, the hyperventilating over the death of a small number is sickening (don't confuse that with a lack of sympathy for the dead/wounded). The number killed in terrorist attacks (even using the incredibly lose definitions of the government) is, well, not even microscopic. So yeah, lets just toss away more of our rights and liberties to let "daddy" protect us from something he can't stop and is very rare (see Paris - they knew most of the attackers) After all, those rights and liberties don't serve any real purpose so just give them back to the terrorists.
What I do want to hear from Obama before he creates a new Stasi is who from DHS will be fired for giving her a visa in the first place.
I once wanted to go to Australia, NZ and Scotland. No more. Every time I think they can't slide further into the abyss they do. Heck I don't even want to go to Canada any more.
RELX, the parent holding company in 2014 had revenues of 5.77B euros and net profit of 955M euros - 16.5%. That includes all lines and overhead. In the segment breakout, Sci/Tech/Med revenue was 2.048B euro w/ adjusted operating (not net) profit of 762M, 37.2%
Those figures are hadly that of an abusive monopoly.
That figure is vastly underestimated. It does not account for any human time, either in technical administration or copy editing and proofing. Hosting at a shared host? Are you kidding? The chosen archiving 'solution' strikes me as abusive of original author copyright but regardless, who is doing the day to day backups? Where are they stored? Who is doing restoration? What happens when free helpers leave? Get sick?
This type of setup may be appropriate for something in-house, like a departmental journal but I think it fails on many levels when it comes to the requirements of the real world. I shudder to think of something like Physical Review being run this way.
That way they can figure out was the real cost of editing and publishing both in print and online really is given the limited subscriber baser for their material. Oh. And don't forget archiving.
So then don't buy anything on Amazon? Really if you hate the experience that much, just buy direct from Apple or Barnes&Noble or BestBuy or any of the hundreds of other sellers on the web and bricks n mortar

And you too Hillary! Your corporate overlords are quite pleased with your efforts.

I don't think I made it half way through before tossing it. And I've read a lot of SF.
Apparently nor do you as she was Pakistani.

There will be copious evidence of a bomb in the wreckage - from chemical traces to the way the fragments look. Enough with the propaganda from the IC.
