...Cambridge, New York, Seattle, and the San Francisco Bay Area, has now become "throughout the US". And yet Slashdot thinks it can comment on social issues. Are all 4 of those areas in the top ten wealthiest metropolitan areas? Probably pretty close.
Government wasn't about your qualifications, but about which party is in control and how much the person put in that position could further their agenda.
...a manufacturer to be named once they get around to fixing it...
Someone got paid off not to name the manufacture. Doing a great injustice to their customers by not letting them know their routers can easily be compromised.
Sure, maybe not letting the criminals know which manufacture might seem like a smart idea, but in the same process, they don't need to know, they can just start checking them all. Your customers aren't safe that way. At least if you tell them there is a problem, they can use secondary measures, like turning off their router when they aren't using it. Maybe change their password every hour or so, or maybe pay attention to anything connecting to it. At least that way you can do something about it.
Going to boycott which ever manufacture that is because they don't have my security in mind when they do stuff like this.
I bought the AVGN Adventures game from within the Valve software on my Mac. After downloading the game using the Valve software, the software said the game was Windows only, so I could not install it.
At the support forum I asked for my money back, since it is ridiculous to sell a game using Mac software and then it will not run. Support refused to return my money.
I complained so many times, the support time cost them more than the actual game cost ($10).
Idiots.
Since the games say what they run on when you buy them, I wouldn't give your blind ass a refund either.
The sad thing is that a lot of serious trolls aren't 13 year olds. They're 40 year olds, with kids and wives who you think would have some brains, but sadly still seem to get off on just being miserable pricks.
Well, that's the problem. If they had brains, they wouldn't of got married and had kids.
Seriously, just buy a good CRT. Stop fooling around with all this line doubler crap
I still have 3 Commodore era monitors I use for my older console gaming. In fact, I like to have my wii hooked up to it because I get the best looking emulators running that way. (going to point out while I have some consoles, I don't have them all, so emulate I must)
On top of this, at least in my city, you can get a big ass free CRT TV for free, all you have to do is pick it up. Check Craigslist free section.
Trying to use old consoles on modern TV's is silly, as they don't scale well at all. Even the Wii, which does 640x480p looks crappy on a 1080p TV.
Okay, after I did this post, I did some research and we apparently have other DSL providers. It's possible that you can get them in the same area's as Centurylink, i'm not going to bother to ask them If i can get there service.
If there is research to do regarding what service to choose, how does comcast have a monopoly?
I'm not sure what they were saying, I live in Seattle and the areas that aren't covered by Comcast are covered by other cable companies. And as far as I know, Centurylink can access all those various areas because as for DSL centuraylink doesn't have any competition. Yep, while Centurylink is bitching about comcast monopoly, they, at least here in Seattle, is the only DSL provider. Of course, they say they don't offer internet, they just rent the connect to you and MS is the one giving you internet.
Takes some seriously Orwellian doublethink to pretend copyright enforcement isn't censorship.
If copyright issues are your biggest complaint, you have a pretty good life. I am betting you have electricity, running water, and toilets, things much of the "free world" doesn't have, much less relative freedom of speech. You simply have no idea what life is like outside your environment. Please do travel outside your local country. Hopefully, it will be an eye-opener (and heart-opener) for you.
ya, no. Traveling requires going thru the TSA, which is something those 3rd worlds don't have. Which I think most americans would be glad to give them.
As for me? I'll never fly air again while we got the TSA going on. If half the people who fly took that stance, the TSA would be gone in less then a year. The government would have to remove them because the airlines wouldn't be making profit for their shareholders.
Give me a little censorship in the States any day over Quebec's crazy-ass "cultural heritage" laws. I never have to sorry about being thrown in prison in the U.S. because I dare to put up a sign in the wrong language, or dare to piss off some crazy French nationalist by suggesting that England may not be so bad.
Fuck the censorship and fuck the crazy ass French Canadians.
Both the summary and headline (on slashdot - it's different on TFA) are a bunch of horseshit. Here's what the headline looks like on TFA:
A Law Enforcement Encounter: If you ran a Bitcoin related service before the thing hit $100 you prolly ought to be somewhat concerned and/or prepared
The rest of the article suggests he was only interviewed because of that service as well. So unless every single early user of bitcoin started up an exchange service, the part we have on slashdot is almost entirely fictional.
Yep, my take on the article was what you said, and that they have crappy records for that service, so they were on a fishing expedition to see if they could find anything good/relating to the silk road stuff. In all honesty, it sounded like due diligence to me, in other words, the Feds were doing the detective work they needed to be doing.
The biggest problem for streaming games is going to be the ISP.
They don't like it when people use netflix, think about something like a game, where you are sending more stuff, not to mention upstream is being used more on these.
Streaming games would kill any download limits you have on your ISP and pretty much all of them have some sort of limit in place.
But what is the good of this if your ISP cuts your account, or nutters the connection so you can't play because you went over the 200-400gb limit for the month?
As far as I am concerned, no one should comment on it unless they've seen it. The arm chair quarterbacks who are removed from the issue and not exposed to it should shut the hell up.
The video is horrifying and Youtube and other services removing it is an injustice to humanity. People should see this and remember it. Just as people should see the horrors of the holocaust and remember. All removing the content does is ensure people are ignorant to the truth. Look how well banning Nazi memorabilia has worked out in France where they now have a HUGE uptick in the amount of anti-semitism.
Hiding the unpleasantness in life does not make it go away.
I've seen the video and they do NOT show him getting his head cut off. Very disappointing. If you are going to spread terror, why cut out the best part? I've seen so many horror movies that a head on top of a body with a little blood leaking out the neck doesn't look real to me. Doesn't scare me.
We The People need to take our government back. Our leaders have failed us, our politicians have failed up. Time for them to be removed and place. The NSA needs to be removed and dismantled in it's current form.
Our government is the terrorist problem, as it refuses to obey the constitution and puts corporations over the people.
I am not saying we need to do this violently, but we have to do this, no matter how it goes down. Our government won't fix itself, it's up to WE THE PEOPLE.
The stores are still selling brand new PS2s, I bought one in the beginning of 2014. I also have a modchip for it that I have not had time to install yet.
PS2 is my favorite console, as it also plays all the PS1 games.
And they are using such tech that we really can't see them, or know how they work, don't leave heat signatures, etc, I'm not sure this would be good for finding those Alien planets because chances are they got their shit together.
So it might be good to find other aliens who are as stupid as we are and don't mind polluting their planet and we love to pollute ours. I don't want to meet those people, chances are they are as fucked up as we are.
Of course, not saying we'd meet them as we are stupid and instead of spending money on science, we spend it on killing each other so a few people can make money.
Seriously, after that sawing off a live man's head, I have NO problem with blowing these assholes away. In fact, I would be happy to pull the trigger to launch.
Now, the real question is, did this interfere with an on-going operation? I would hate to think that showing them how easy it is to find out info from their propaganda would stop its flow.
Did you watch the video? I did and they have another hostage ready to chop his head off. And they taunted Obama at the end, saying it's your move. So ya, blow these people up, another journalist loses his head. It's all fair, you know, democracy & thank. Kill them, they kill us, kill them, they kill us, kill them, they kill us, etc....
Good luck with that plan, because well, it's the same crappy plan that has gotten us into this mess.

I liked what I heard, but I really like to have a demo of it to check out.

Okay, me again. I actually decided to do a search and this is what I came up with.
I live on the edge of Downtown Seattle and Capital Hill. Not even a mile from the heart of downtown Seattle.
I have the internet choices of:
Cable: Comcast
Satelite: HughesNet
DSL: Centurylink
So my middle post doesn't matter. I don't have a choice of providers, I just have a choice of how I get the internet. Sat, DSL or Cable.
So sure, we might have other DSL providers in Seattle, but they can't overlap with any other providers. Total bullshit system. Time to open it up.
Okay, after I did this post, I did some research and we apparently have other DSL providers. It's possible that you can get them in the same area's as Centurylink, i'm not going to bother to ask them If i can get there service.
So maybe my post is wrong. Sorry.
well, YIFY means: whY Is Film Yucky? Remember that.
Also remember that if you want great quality 720p, go 3gb+, 1080p 4gb+ (if you go stereo, better audio makes those files bigger).
While DVD movies can fit onto a CD and still look great, HD movies can NOT.
If there is research to do regarding what service to choose, how does comcast have a monopoly?
I'm not sure what they were saying, I live in Seattle and the areas that aren't covered by Comcast are covered by other cable companies. And as far as I know, Centurylink can access all those various areas because as for DSL centuraylink doesn't have any competition.

Of course it can, it's has a computer right? Runs software? Oh ya.
But just so you know, if a Google Car does run him down, they will be looking at you first (and probably me second).
See ya in jail!
