That's easy for sites to work around by adding a date of birth field to the sign-up forum. From BugMeNot TOS: "You will not submit sites that have any form of age access verification (COPPA)."
Unlimited data plans have been very cheap for several years now.
Not in Slashdot's home country.
In some more remote parts of the U.S., the only option for high-speed home Internet is satellite, and satellite doesn't have unmetered data during waking hours. In other remote parts, such as East Buchanan, Iowa, DSL is harshly metered as well.
Cellular carrier T-Mobile has introduced an unmetered plan, whose name reminds one of synthetic motor oil. But at $70 per month for the first of four lines on a plan, it's more expensive than metered plans, and it puts the subscriber at the back of QoS after using 25 GB in a month. Furthermore, in some parts of the U.S., Verizon is the only cellular carrier with adequate coverage, and Verizon has refused to offer unmetered plans.
Lossless compression, such as PKZIP for Microsoft Office and LibreOffice documents, FLAC for audio, and PNG for images, makes it less trivial in the general case to find "only the parts of files that have changed". A protocol like rsync would need to have specific support for each archive container and lossless codec in order to identify said "parts". This story is about Google Play Store gaining such support for APK files, which use the PKZIP container.
But do the major repositories that distribute Chromium (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, etc.) use this binary diff technology? Or do they still resend the entire deb/rpm?
Be careful. Bringing a core Disney character to top-of-mind awareness could cause Mr. Trump to align with the entertainment industry even more closely than he already is and lead to yet another copyright term extension.
Though you appear to decry use of derogatory nicknames, it is among the rhetorical tactics of the apparent President-elect.* During his campaign, he used such a nickname for each of his opponents: Low-Energy Jeb, Little Marco, 1 for 38 Kasich, Lyin' Ted (which some of his supporters attempted to reclaim as Lion Ted), and Crooked Hillary. Now watch leftards turn the practice back at "One-Term Donald".
* Faithless electors could yet keep Mr. Trump from officially becoming President-elect on December 19. There are eight so far.
If you can't communicate your ad with a static image, a video
A scripted vector animation has a smaller file size (and thus costs you less to view in overage fees payable to your ISP) than the equivalent H.264 or VP8 video. But I don't see how a scripted vector animation of considerable complexity can be done with CSS transitions alone. It's usually script writing to a canvas or script manipulating CSS element styles or SVG paths.
You underestimate the power of the Alt+Right. It can undo presses of the Back button in your web browser. If you end up on a Dimbart article, and you click the Back button to escape what you see as reactionary bullcrap, pressing Alt+Right will bring it right back.
You want to support the bands you love? Buy tickets to see them live
That works only if the band is touring anywhere near you, which is likely not true of foreign bands. It also works only if the band either plays at all-ages venues or is still together after you turn 21.*
* In Slashdot's home country, many smaller music show venues require all attendees to be at least 21 years of age because of state alcohol control laws.
We don't need regulation on the internet for instance
Yes you do, even if only to obtain easements to pull your last mile across non-subscribers' land.
we can get that by eliminating the regulations hindering start ups from rolling out new services/lines/infrastructure.
Regulations are needed to allow companies to "roll[] out new services/lines/infrastructure." Otherwise NIMBY holdouts can block anything by reporting a startup to the police for trespassing.
Phone makers that lock the bootloader or otherwise intentionally obstruct community-maintained distributions of Android OS for the phones they make are also part of the e-waste problem.
I assume that people watch videos containing major label music instead of Creative Commons music because major label music is more familiar to them. Then the question becomes how major label music became more familiar to them in the first place, despite Creative Commons music being readily available for both download and streaming. Is it that people without a big cellular data plan still listen to FM radio, which plays almost entirely major label music?
Authentication over Telnet or FTP sends a pre-shared key called a "password" over the wire in cleartext. This means of authentication is subject to a replay attack. SSH and SFTP lack this vulnerability, so long as the server can be identified out of band.
Considering how many stories we get about Marvel this, Star Wars that, Pixar the other, and people holding onto cable because ESPN owns exclusive broadcast rights to professional and collegiate sport matches, there are probably a lot of fans of Disney products and services who read Slashdot.
[Kernel-level DNS blocking uses] Less power/cpu/ram + IO use vs. DNS/routers [...] + less security issues/complexity.
Eh, pihole is faster.
You still need to provide power to that Raspberry Pi. And you didn't address "complexity", as you also need to build your Pi (or do they come in cases yet?), install Pi-Hole, configure Pi-Hole, and keep Pi-Hole updated.
I think the intent was that "a worldwide infrastructure" exists, but it depends on providers running the last mile to each subscriber. Thus a town doesn't need to build "a worldwide infrastructure", but it does need to connect its residents to the infrastructure that does exist.

Instead, try SSHing into the printer and typing directly into printer memory with copy con.

What is a legitimate use case where you want to print something out, but are nowhere near the printer to collect the output?
The same legitimate use cases as facsimile.

but telnet and ftp are generic protocols with clients available on most systems
As are SSH and SFTP.

Finland's population density is less than that of the United States.
Why can't each of the several states, which is about the size of one European country, manage to deploy of high-speed Internet within that state?
