Currently there is nothing to stop me from making an account called "Larry Page", putting up a few images of him and then making outrageous claims about how Google plans to sacrifice puppies to Cthulhu.
Yes there is, you'd be sued for breaking your NDA. Those plans are available only to a very select group.
It makes me feel like my friends are being forcibly outed. It makes me feel like they're being attacked for having unusual names. It makes me feel like they're being attacked for using the name I knew them by because that name is kind of unusual and doesn't show up on their driver's license.
Do you think maybe you're taking it a little personally? I mean really, whatever the pluses or minuses or this, it may be a ridiculous bureaucracy or a bit of a hassle or just no fun but Google really aren't 'attacking' your friends for having unusual names.
Can we get some insight into why the above was modded down? Does anyone disagree that Omnifarious' feeling that his friends are being attacked is completely ridiculous?
Looking at pictures of naked children is 'one of the most heinous and despicable offences'?
Doing so deliberately for purposes of arousal, yes it is.
Where do you put things like theft, rape, assault, or murder then?
Rape and murder are also some of the most heinous and despicable offences. Assault can be, depends on the details. Theft, absent aggravating cirumstances, isn't.
It's not necessarily adobe's fault that the address is misleading. Of course it's their fault. They shipped the software.
Would you actually take this attitude with other industries? "Oh this item I bought does [bad thing], well it's not necessarily the manufacturer's fault, I expect they just plug random components in with no idea what's going to happen."
If they don't know what domains the software they ship contacts then yes, that's their fault.
But in our experiments the sound was really tinny, just like a paranoid voice in your head;) The voices in my head aren't "paranoid", they're just cautious. And they want to know how YOU can tell they sound tinny.
PS... STFU about Ebay, douches. FLAMEBAIT? That was a joke. A slightly self mocking joke by mfh, one of the great Slashdot icons of our time. If you don't get it then you're too young to have mod points. What'd you do, just buy them on ebay?
How about uncensoring your bank account numbers and passwords for me.... Cause you know, all censorship of numbers - especially to protect your economic resources - is bad.
Read my post again. Slowly. Concentrate on the bit where I say "some censoring may be GOOD and other censoring BAD". Read it again. Think hard. Could I be suggesting that censorship isn't always bad? No? Try again.
If they find this content objectionable (they do) and therefore seek to suppress or delete it then they're engaged in censorship. Yes, the same goes for your social security number. I know, that makes the world a scary place when some censoring may be GOOD and other censoring BAD. Welcome to the real world. Please drive carefully.
Tags can contain numbers but mustn't start with a number. It won't give you an error but you'll see that it doesn't "remember" your tag like it normally would. Don't think the dollar sign works at the beginning of a tag either either. So the tag needs to be something like : hex09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0
What does a TLD have to do with finding porn, or anything else? Are you gong to make a list of words, append.xxx, and type them into your address bar: aardvark.xxx,.... zygote.xxx?
Greetings, I have come back in time from the year 2007 with exciting news. In my time we no longer have to type in random words to find domains under a particular tld, instead we have a powerful and strange technology called "Google".
For example, to get a list of.org domains we can just enter the following into our web browser:
"But", you say, "of what use is a mssive list of all domains? You could never click them all!" The truth is that we can go EVEN FURTHER and search for key words within sites in those domains, but I fear the culture shock from showing you this would be too much for you to bear.
This may all sound like science fiction in your primitive era but one day this technology will seem almost common place.
The range isn't really a round number of standard measuring units. In fact it isn't even constant, depending instead on a whole range of conditions and on the equipment in use. 100 meters and 100 yards are both approximations that are sufficiently inaccurate that it really doesn't matter which you use.
If the TOS say you can't sell content out-of-game then you are a cheating lowlife and should be banned from the game, if not dragged out into the street, forced onto your knees and shot in the mouth.
See, because you suggested letting them off lightly like that you got modded troll. Try to suppress your misplaced sense of mercy. Some people aren't worth it.
The only difference between God and underpants gnomes or FSM is that the question of God is a central question in philosophy, including discussion of what "God" even means to different people from different real living cultures around the world.
So to be clear on this, you agree; no difference with respect to the scientific evidence for either?
Sure I didn't own "stock" in Sega when I was 10 - but I had a Master System. To a 10 year old, that's the equivalent of owning a lot of stock, because it's not like you're going to get two consoles.
It's fine to disagree with Zonk but implying that he's a 10 year old seems a bit trollish to me.
Discussion2 has been in beta for a few months now on Slashdot Initially available only to subscribers, it now should be available to anyone willing to login and click the checkbox at the head of every discussion.
I've had it since July 13th and I'm not a subscriber. Is the above statement incorrect or was I just accidentally offered it?
The statement is accurate. You're just having trouble getting your mind around the concept that "a few months" streteches back EVEN FURTHER than July 13th.
Initially subscribers only... time passes, things happen... OMG Mini-Geek can use it too... time passes... we reach today.

What would you say to an American cop that wanted to search your EU located servers based on American laws?
"I can't let you do that as it would breach data protection requirements."
That's the same answer the EUcrats will get.
Really? The US must be more advanced than I thought. I would have expected something more like "how much will you pay for it?"
They are *not* transparent! Trump's dad was a real man and Trump will tweet you to death if you say otherwise!
His dad, maybe, but I heard Trump himself wasn't man enough to join the army. If you know what I mean.

Possibly William Henry Harrison.

Freedom software... that's 'freedom' as in 'fries'.
Or as the summary puts it "compensated for by too-easy games".
It almost looks like you agree.
It's fine to disagree with Zonk but implying that he's a 10 year old seems a bit trollish to me.
Can you cite anything at all to support that?
Really? Where can I buy them? I hate to say this but the Xbox 360 is ahead in every type of game so far; all else is vapor.

I'm going to need more clues. I can't begin to guess what job that's perfect for.
