Commit to who you want to advertise with, don't just run an adnetwork.
In theory, I agree. In practice, how should a newly established web site go about finding advertisers? It's their problem to solve, so what should they do to go about solving it?
Why are there so many monetized VEVO channels in the top 25 YouTube channels? Would they exist if you couldn't monetize YouTube videos?
If copyright owners couldn't monetize YouTube videos, then even more of them would set their Content ID policies to "block" and deploy overzealous takedown bots.
Where you do a search for "video capture cards" and stores that just happen to be local to you mysteriously show up in the first 5 results
You shared it by choosing to connect with your IP address rather than a VPN elsewhere. And because you shared it, the search engine decided to present links to stores near you rather than hundreds of miles or km away because nearby stores are more relevant to most people.
I think some sites make their articles available without charge with ads because paywalled articles are less likely to get cited in other publications.
AT&T and T-Mobile are the big GSM carriers in the United States. Which bands do they use, so we can compare them against the bands compatible with the phone?
I tried PyPy last night, and it was very slow at calls in and out of Pillow, the Python imaging library partially written in C. CPython 2.7 handily beat it (we're talking 15 seconds vs. 1 minute 52 seconds). I might try PyPy later on workloads that don't involve Pillow.
Theora, based on VP3, is roughly H.263-class technology comparable to Sorenson Spark (FLV) and MPEG-4 ASP (DivX and Xvid). H.264 and VP8 are a generation ahead of it in rate/distortion performance at Internet bitrates, and Thor is intended to be a generation ahead of H.264.
I've played Halo 2 on my PlayStation and Halo 5 on my Dreamcast. Whether you can play them on RPi2 depends on what audio codecs Windows 10 IoT Core supports.
F-Droid's Inclusion Policy states that it distributes only apps whose source code is in a publicly readable version control repository and distributed under a free software license. Its Inclusion How-To states that all executables come from its own build farm and that new apps are suggested by forum users. This would at least give other forum users a chance to review apps' source code for obvious "anti-features". Or are you arguing based on the same phenomenon that caused OpenSSL defects not to be detected for years despite its source code being available?
I'd love to, but Python is kind of slow. Has some implementation of the Python language recently become remotely comparable to Oracle HotSpot JVM in execution speed of equivalent programs? If so, which?
Where I live, the bundle is cheaper -- for the first 12 months. Then the price goes up so now those live sports and politics are worth an extra $100
First move to a city that has both a cable company and a viable competitor such as FiOS. Then follow sheetsda's procedure every year. This may keep you on the bundle pricing.
How do you design your broadcast and delivery systems to continue to support legacy hardware in a sustainable manner without [rolling] trucks
Self-install kits. Comcast used this a couple years ago when it switched its expanded basic SD service from analog to "Digital Transport Adapters" (the small decoder boxes) so that it could compress all channels to make more room for DOCSIS channels to deliver "Blast" Internet. Give a few months of notice that service on the old protocol will be going away, ship boxes that can handle both the old and new protocols, transition the higher tier channels first so that you at least have their revenue if you absolutely have to roll trucks, and then transition the rest of the channels.
I'm not saying I can't handle malware. I'm saying some other people can't. Otherwise, we wouldn't be getting occasional stories on Slashdot about CryptoLocker and other with the same m.o.
If they wanted to make a buck in the 21st century they could release emulators themselves and sell the games RIGHT NOW and people would buy them. They don't.
Then what's Virtual Console or Rare Replay?
[ScummVM] kicks the fucking piss, shit, bile, and brains out of most android games.
ScummVM works well on Android for two reasons. First, it's relatively easy to rip games from authentic floppies or CDs. Second, many LucasArts adventures are turn-based with point and click control, which adapts well to touch-screen devices. I don't see how games made for a gamepad would adapt well to touch screens.
Slashdot Mirror
When you were given a binary you did not have the freedom to modify it.
Try telling that to a reverse engineer like doppelganger, who disassembled and commented an NES game.
So how do site operators in group 2 efficiently find a merchant in group 1 willing to advertise on a particular site in group 2?
Another option, as others have already mentioned, is to bring control of ad content back to the sites' actual owners.
I agree. So how should small site owners find advertisers for their sites or vice versa?

Ubuntu Server, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu don't have the "shopping lens" that Ubuntu Unity has.

Why can't the GPU do the work? Or do video codecs require special kinds of processing that GPUs are bad at?
Marvel shares a parent company with Pixar, which has released OpenSubdiv as free software and just announced plans to do the same with Universal Scene Description. On that basis, I can think of companies more evil than Disney, such as The Tetris Company co-founded by Alexey "free software should never have existed" Pajitnov.

the ONLY way to be even semi-secure with Android is to only download "curated" Apps
True, but Android lets the user choose more than one curator. Other established curators include Amazon and F-Droid.
Any vulnerability in Debian, Fedora, or Android is Linux-gate.
Hell yes [my date] got screened for that.
It's a bit harder to screen family.
Is this true even if your IP address isn't associated with a valid pay TV subscription?

And don't get me started on CBS, a free to receive OTA network, charging a monthly subscription for internet streaming of current season programming
Why not just connect an antenna to a DVR and get the "current season programming" that way?
a normal fridge (1400 Watt-hr/day) would use up a car battery (12V * 50Amp-hr) overnight.
I think FranTaylor's idea is that a bank of car batteries would bridge the time from one period of solar power generation to the next.

In context it could be interpreted either of two ways.
