Right, what Google does and the warez newsgroups are identical.
You're an ignorant idiot, once you get out of high school and actually have to work for a living I suspect you'll change your tune.
Its very sad that slashdot is now filled with morons like you who actually try to push such an ignorant argument as if anyone with a tenth of a clue will believe you.
Let me try to explain this another way:
There are two types of people in the world: People like you, who think others are stupid enough to believe the obviously bullshit excuse you've made. And everyone else who looks at you like an ignorant fuck when you start talking like this.
NO ONE BUYS THE RETARDED STATEMENT YOU ARE MAKING, YOU ONLY MAKE YOURSELF LOOK DUMBER BY CONTINUING TO SAY IT.
Yes, if you're in a sub that doesn't have a screen door installed, then you don't have to worry if it can hold water out/air in, which is basically whats going on here.
The code doesn't get pulled in without the hardware being detected. No hardware, no udev, no exploit. If the hardware is there, then you'll have a udev and an active driver, at which point you can do something about it, since you are aware of the hardware in your machines generally when you're that paranoid about security.
Hyperthreading is not truely multithreading. There is still one execution core, Hyperthreading basically gives it too execution pipelines so one can fill its cache and load data while the other is executing, and then switch to the other. Its just an optimization to deal with some shitty performance of the massively oversized pipeline that intel created.
I cannot understand why in a Representative Democracy we allow this to occur
Because the majority of us would rather be allowed to make our own way in the world and don't want to be subsidized by the rich. Some of us accept that there will be people who are capable of more and have more stuff in their lives even though we are not in that position. We want to have the ability to become filthy rich ourselves and don't have any ill will against those who were capable of doing so.
It seems as soon as someone gets elected to Congress, they are immediately bought by the wealthy elite to represent their interests.
This is an entirely different issue, which while it does exist in the same system, its not directly linked, but it is a bad attribute the system lends itself too.
We can stop this, without stopping the rest of it and without turning into a welfare state.
Facts are beautiful aren't that? Distortable into implying anything you want.
There will always be a 'The XXX corporations controlling most of the global economy', just like there will always be 'kills the most people in this group'.
And for reference, 'most' to me, is more than half.
A handful of companies can make sure that you get the media attention, or not. a handful of other companies can decide whether you get the funds to be able to get the media attention, or not. So it goes.
Yea, that was true right up until the Internet got popular. No longer is it true, you can find safe harbor somewhere to post just about anything, and with a little effort you can probably even find someone else to pay for it.
Wikileaks has been a prime example that exhibited how crooked people can be while flying a flag of good intentions. Do you REALLY think they couldn't publish all this shit in a torrent and solve all of their hosting problems? If you do, you're a moron... oh wait, too late, already flagged you for that one.
They did massive amounts of work with 0 funding, now they need $3.5 million? Why is it the less they accomplish the more resources they require.
You've been ripped off and just aren't smart enough to see it yet.
Note that Wikileaks had not (and still hasn't) done anything illegal in the United States
Well, good for them that legality is all that matters and public opinion has nothing to do with it.
Their behavior is what fucked them over, not any government. They made it clear they wanted attention and money, not to show the injustices done in the world. What they are doing is nothing like the Pentagon Papers.
Has Wikileaks ever lied, or provided demonstrably false information?
Yes, they posted a video that was clearly manipulated to the point of not even being close to 'the truth'. I know, I saw both the full version and the edited version, there is no mistake.
The video showed they have an agenda and they'll manipulate facts into lies in order to further their agenda. From that point on, everything else they do and have done is tainted. If you're too stupid to start thinking for yourself, nothing we can do about that, but we're still going to point out that your a moron.
what makes you think stopping them would make the price go down
Really simple, and its something you shouldn't need to go to collage to understand.
Supply and demand. Schools will either go out of business or lower prices to increase demand. The million dollar deans will soon become 100k deans, and as that trickles down through the organization, professors who spend more time doing their own shit and wasting university resources will have to put more effort into doing their job than getting a free ride on someone else's bill because they spend 75% of their time playing rather than doing what they were hired for.
Without student loans, the price will go down. Making less money is preferable to 0 money, assuming you can stay in business. These smart people certainly can figure it out, don't you think? If not, than they probably weren't our money in the first place and again, things will be better.
and that a move like this will freeze out a pool of candidates
Only for a couple of years, and its a nessecary evil.
After a couple years, every university in the country will radically adjust their prices and cut waste in order to not cease to exist since no one will be able to afford the ridiculous cost anymore.
And for reference, there is no reason that your typical account needs to go to collage, as with most jobs, the requirement for a 'collage degree' is more of a way to weed out those who didn't out the effort into going to collage.
Do you normally pay attention to weather forecasts? They are invariably wrong. You're better off flipping a coin than listening to a weather forecast in most cases, the exceptions of course being major weather patterns like Noreasters, hurricanes, and the weather in Las Vegas. If they tell you its going to rain tomorrow in Vegas, then thats wrong too.
This summer, out of 87 days that I checked and logged the weather before a fishing trip, it was wrong 79 times. By wrong I mean it was raining when it wasn't supposed to, or not raining when it was. We're not even talking 'the temp was off by more than 5 degrees' or anything actually accurate. On another note, my predictions resulted in about 20 incorrect guesses. Not that I have skills or anything, its just that weathermen have gotten utterly retarded and depend 100% on computer modeling from some guy in another state to give you their forecast. They'll tell you its sunny and 95 degrees outside because THATS WHAT THE COMPUTER MODEL SAYS even though its been cloudy all day and its snowing so hard they can't even drive home.
Well, if you think that its name isn't intentional than you're an idiot, I assume you think its intentional, in which case than you should be fairly clear that they are copying Siri... in which case, Apple would probably be fairly justified in suing them out of existence.
Its roughly the same as walking up to a cop, shooting him in the balls, then expecting his partner to watch you walk away. You have to be pretty fucking stupid to do what they did, its clearly an attempt to ride on someone elses coat tails.
You do realize saying stupid shit like 'fondlebrick' makes you look like a 12 year old and makes your opinion pretty much valueless to anyone except other rabid fanboys such as yourself right?
Pull your head of your ass and take a clear look at the world, you'll find it far more enjoyable.
While I think Siri is very impressive (not the pure tech, again, its the polish), it can not currently work with any non-Apple apps, there is no API access to other apps or anything like that at this time. Its good with built in apps, but it wouldn't know to use your Urbanspoon app either.
It works fine in anything I get in except my car. My car is a 2 seat convertible so road and wind noise is MUCH higher than any normal modern car. On that note, in general the problems I have are solved by speaking up or holding the phone to my head. Typically it sits on top of my steering column, so I just speak up a little and it works fine. Occasionally it won't stop listening quickly, but it still tends to realize that I stopped talking earlier on and doesn't (most of the time) throw in the wrong thing.
In my wifes car (A 12 year old Saturn) it works well enough that my wife can use it without me being able to understand what she's saying.
iOS has had voice commands since at least the 4, I think the 3GS supported them as well, but Siri is not 'voice commands' any more than Word is 'a text editor'

Except for a few government parties that are willing to host it free of charge for you ...
So basically what you're saying is they have to manipulate it into something other than what it is for people to care?
Has Wikileaks ever lied, or provided demonstrably false information?
Yes, they posted a video that was clearly manipulated to the point of not even being close to 'the truth'. I know, I saw both the full version and the edited version, there is no mistake.

Yes, actually, it more or less is. Its one that we do for the good of the person getting the loan, but that doesnt' change what it is.
what makes you think stopping them would make the price go down

Have you even been to collage? What idiot makes the implication that tuition is the expensive part? Thats the smallest part!
Provide examples that "democrats" pull this kind of "crapola" too. ANY examples.
Ready any day's log for congress anytime in the last 4 years and you'll see exactly that.
If you REALLY believe the democrats are different, you are REALLY oblivious to the world around you.
and that a move like this will freeze out a pool of candidates

Didn't the old services like AOL used to restrict the number of messages you could send?
Depends on your definition of 'restrict'.
AOL used to be warez central ;)
You could only have like 20-25 recipients per message, but that was the limit. You just forwarded the last message you sent to another 20-25 people.
Well then it wouldn't be a problem as the summary is wrong and its 500/1500 PER SENDER.

Siri also requires a data connection to function.

Do you still write Micro$oft and Nutscrape too?

But ... Siri doesn't work without Internet access.
