Five to ten minutes a week that isn't a sound-byte, but is someone talking about an issue, would be a massive increase to the information most Americans receive.
Agreed. And what's more, even if I don't mind using a second Google account for Google+, it would require me to *logout* of all the other services I'm actively using with my Google Apps account - my email, my calendar, my RSS feed - just so I can login to the Google+ specific account. I'm not going to logout of all that stuff just to access G+, and I'm not going to run an instance of a separate browser just to access G+.
Did you read the link? It would be a stretch to say he was being a dick. According to the link he was banned for writing "Have you sold your souls to the EA devil?"
"The area" is the Chernobyl 30km exclusion zone. It's not like you're imagining. The risk here is with consuming or inhaling particles of irradiated dirt or material.
No, it's a win-win situation. If they cannot solve reCAPTCHA then we get website security. If they do solve it, it means that we can digitize all of that content without any human interaction. This is great news.
Right now, there's no way for the consumer to tell the market what you are looking for. Back when we came up with all this Internet thing, wasn't the fact that it makes bi-directional communication possible one of its best features?
Ah yes, if only we still had that Internet thing. But you're right, this will be better, because it's going to be mobile! Yeah...
If you cannot verify the other party, then you cannot verify your transmission wasn't intercepted. The verification is designed to prevent a MitM attack.
How does something like this differ practically from using sudo, which in many distros grants the user root privileges without any further authentication necessary?
I am surprised to see you describe Netbeans as bloated when compared to Eclipse. I fought with Eclipse for years before trying out Netbeans, and have been nothing but pleased with it. More than anything, it is the bloat of Eclipse that drove me away! Plugins upon plugins upon plugins, all heaped together in some massive directory. Configuration panels that need a search box!
My Netbeans experience has been a breath of fresh air.
It's not an offense, it's a defense. A protected server has all traffic routed to members of large cluster of helper machines (the "good botnet"). The protected server then contacts and collects the content as it is able. Instead of a DDOS attack being able to shovel data down on the target, the data is distributed to the cluster of helper machines. The recipient server then deals with the traffic at a pace it is able.
The article is short, but it kind of sounds like each node in the "good botnet" is serving as a sort of per-connection proxy to the destination server.
Maybe that clarifies things a bit?
Government Maps - of course
on
Open US GPS Data?

· Score: 5, Insightful
The government already creates these maps (TIGER), which are in the public domain. But I'll admit, it's a little fun to pretend that Google/MapQuest/Yahoo and whoever else are driving around all of the Western world with GPSs attached to their cars:)
In summary: There are two girls that look nearly identical. One of them committed a crime, and the other was put in jail for a week. There are photos in the article.
Nobody is suggesting otherwise. You're argument over the terminology here ('source' versus 'storage') is pedantically accurate, but it's irrelevent to the overall issue that the previous poster was commenting on. In practical terms, fossil fuels are an energy source because we are able to extract energy from them directly. We suck the crap out of the ground.
The previous poster was making the accurate point that hydrogen doesn't replace anything. Pedantic positioning over the terminology does not diminish this fact.
There is more than that though - it is a wonderful thing, to be able to seek knowledge for knowledge's sake. Always there is this emphasis on a reason for learning about the world around us. It doesn't have to be that way. There is a joy to be found in discovery, regardless of the implications. This is an important thing.
I don't think this rationalizes traffic going directly to your cell phone. Even if cell phones had terrific bandwith and rock-solid connectivity (which they certainly do not yet have), there's still more convincing arguments to just publish your phone's content to a more traditional server. One is in your pocket, running on battery power, and relying on wireless service. One is sitting in a building, plugged into the wall for power and network, and has IT personnel ready to fix it.
Which just goes to show you--once a scientific "fact" has been established, our attachment to it becomes as dogmatic as any theological notion...
Perhaps for some people, but not for the overall scientific community. This article being the most obvious example. And I need not note the difficulty one would encounter trying to debunk a theological notion...
POP3 access, no strings attached (read, stupid Hotmail requiring Outlook)
It wouldn't be quite as bad if Hotmail required Outlook - the silly fact is it only works with Outlook Express. The logic in that "feature" will be revealed some time around when Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision is proved accurate.

We have that, it's called NPR.

Lonely Planet is an Australia-based company. Maybe this somehow influences prices, perhaps due to tax laws?

I'd say that the response was very heavy handed.

Vimeo may ultimately disagree, but the Leeroy Jenkins video is certainly machinima.
It sounds like Vimeo is getting rid of all the general game-related videos. The writeup here lists pvp battles, raids, strategic stuff, etc.
Did you even read the summary?

I can see this system playing havoc with people too. I have met people with no connection to each other but who nevertheless look virtually identical.

This article is a great example of what you've described,

This whole thread is sort of like Al Gore explaining Santa Claus...
Man...victimized by a 3M joystick mouse. What is the IT world coming to?! :P
You are correct, of course.
There is more than that though - it is a wonderful thing, to be able to seek knowledge for knowledge's sake. Always there is this emphasis on a reason for learning about the world around us. It doesn't have to be that way. There is a joy to be found in discovery, regardless of the implications. This is an important thing.
With utmost seriousness...
Why Not?

This is a wonderful example of why we don't give real babies to toddlers! What planet are you from?
Non-conformity is a wonderful charade we put ourselves through as human beings. Just enjoy what you enjoy and think a bit less about what you call it.

Yes, but what if they turn it on by accident?
