I deplore most of those things stated even though I consider myself a progressive/liberal. Too much fingerpointing and not enough work on the business of actually improving citizen lives. It feels like certain things are "okay" when its "your" team in the white house and HORRIBLE when its the other team. Should be wrong no matter what, and we should try to do better no matter what.
All that said, the IRS thing - why on earth are groups like that (of any affiliation) given non profit status when they are obviously political in nature?
I think I hate that more than anything, the undue influence of money in the process. The ability of wealthy individuals to fund these groups anonymously while driving toward political goals.
Great comment by the way, I disagree with your (assumed) politics but well said to call out specific things.
You can't just plug these into "any" ethernet. They require specific switches that provide that capability, so I seriously doubt this will ever be aimed at home use.
I went into it with high hopes, but was largely disappointed. It seemed to barely be about hellboy. While the visuals, background and world were interesting and appealing, they seemed to me to be a completely separate franchise, that very distinctly left the world created in the first one.
Thought the "new" character was an epic disappointment as well.
Felt like the director wanted to make a movie primarily about something else, and dragged hellboy along for the ride in a bit role.
I felt it was more just that things go on. We just saw a brief peek in the life, not a beginning and an end.
Our view into the life of the sopranos cut out, but life as it is for the fictional characters "goes on."
Of course it's all very open to interpretation, but I choose to believe he lives on, at least for a while.
Right, use my dns servers, just netsol registrar. Was about to leave (and go to GoDaddy actually), when they offered to price match, and have let me renew at that same price since.
They didn't defend themselves on PURPOSE. Once they recognized the courts as an authority, they opened themselves up to further lawsuits. From a legal perspective, considering it "irrelevant" was the smart thing to do. So RTFA or something.
Yes, that's the best question yet. Any of you legal eagles know of a proposed law to eliminate riders? And if not, who's in a tight election who needs some "motivation".
Some of my worst computer related service ever was from Alienware.
Bought an aurora 7500, floppy was DOA, took 26 days to get a new one thanks to their ineptitude. Machine randomly locked on cd insert thanks to their extra software, bios had problems, chipset fan died (twice). Now given, sometimes machines have problems, but the techs were just horrible, unskilled, and without a clue. I was regularly hung up on, ignored, and given the run around. I would have sent it back, but they were going to charge a 20% restocking fee.
National Security sure seems to be the wayward byword of the day. It, terrorism, terrorists, enemy combatants, these are just labels used whenever they suit the purpose of the speaker without actual relevance to the true security of the nation. Personally, I'm estatic that -someone- had the nerve to tell the american people that their elected officials -may- be breaking the law. I emphasis may because I don't know, but I damn sure have the right to. And if you think for a minute that anyone "against" us doesn't think we're monitoring their calls already, and that this "leak" caused any surprises over there, you're in for a shock.
I know editor is a dirty word here on slashdot, but with a supposed profesionally publication where the hell were the editors?
Don't most people expect writers to bring drafts and editors tweak before publishing? I mean did NO ONE on staff read this article before it went live? Did they just hand her a publish account and let her loose?
She sounds like scum, but there's some serious procedure problems as well that allowed this kind of work to happen.
It is NOT the coming apocalypse for firefox, mozilla, or open source.
We have levels on vulnerabilities for a reason, they aren't always equitable, I was simply pointing out that reviewing the actual details of the bug made it a much less scary proposition than the various news outlets made it out to be. (See various recent stories/posts about overly zealous *jouralists* and their sensationlistic selling work)

Nevermind, apparently it was my definition of dark fiber that was out of date. Getting old.
What exactly do you think Dark Fiber is?
I did like the tooth fairies though =)
meh, double post, ignore this, forgot to login earlier.

I hope not, I just tried to go to the portal page and got this...

Expensive shit.
Wow, quoting fox news, that's a bastion of unbiased reporting right there. Yessirrebob, they NEVER have an agenda.
Task Switch Powertoy has provided nearly this same functionality to XP for ages.
You better ask your Ubuntu developers where they get their upstream then. Ubuntu benefits greatly from Debian being actively developed.

Threaten to leave. I get my netsol domains renewed for 7.95 a year. Stable, and affordable.
Wow, that's a lot of stupid.

Biggest mistake I ever made, won't happen again.

Because obviously the rest of the world is going to JUMP at the chance of chinese character domains in lieu of what's currently there. Sure.
Because obviously those rascally thieves never towed anything before.
OMFG, that's an extreme example of reading what you want into something.

Its definitely a bug, its definitely a bad bug.
