Haven't these folks in Texas heard that Pat Robertson, the Mouthpiece of God, is staunchly in favor of legalization of weed? PAT ROBERTSON? Come on, you Texas Bible Thumpers, get with the program.
Can we become better educated on patents -- maybe just a little -- so that we can not panic every time somebody patents something?
On the one hand, you're correct, people make this mistake in understanding just about 100% here at Slashdot.
On the other hand, it's still just a series of very vaguely described but fairly obvious actions â" sort of like describing how to skip across the street.
Now, if they had a truly unique programming method. But then we get into the ratâ(TM)s nest that is software patents...
Until the 3D image is actually some sort of functional 3D projection, what's the point?
Quite so.
Today's 3d technology is not at a useful level. It's much like the video phones in 200A Space Odyssey. A cute "Sci-Fi" fad, but not a truly useful consumer technology.
Yet.
Much like the 3d televisions: A curious and half-assed implementation held back by the state of the technology, and of dubious value other than as a curiosity. If you're rich enough to by a 3d big-screen, why not? But otherwise, it's just not much of an experience.
The other point I want to touch on is this: For some reason, there are many people that are of the opinion that applying advanced technology to something automatically makes it better (like electronic balloting). But it is very rarly the actual case.
How much value would this really add beyond the kind of 2d 360 viewing technology we already have (think NewEgg)? Maybe for some things, but not a lot if any for most things.
My favorite new minority is dickhead internet posters who make absurdly broad generalizations which don't even have the benefit of being premised on a nugget of truth.
And how fucking delicious that you have been modded "FlainBait" by the/. Group Think... Perfect!
Like you, I am a cheap mother fucker. I went with Verizon and took the free phone they gave me. Recieves text fine from all my friends who spen $100+ a month on their phone. Me? Not that moch.
Oh please, people, these "burglars" are clearly "White Hat" and were simply penetration testing. Is it their fault the homestead was so easy to break into? The owner should be grateful and offer these Security Researchers a job watching their house.
Slashdot Mirror
Bullshit. This article *is not* about software, and you know it.
It's about the Liberal point of view that when a Black Man and a White Man "get into it", the White Man is always wrong.
Parent link is bad. Try this:

If I recall, Slashdot said "sponsored" Slavertisments would be clearly marked.
Snicker!
Fucking RMS cock sucking cum guzzler... I'll bet you were really holding yourself back not to say "Micros$oft".
Good grief.
so, um, yeah - how'd that beard-trimming go?
Is that a euphemism for cunnilingus?
As any fisherman knows, a treble hook is a three-pronged hook.
Why haven't they published a video of the jump? Just some footage of him at the capsule and that's all.
I'm sure the footage is *for sale*.
Wow. Browser sniffing. What year is it?

Cops aren't above the law, or accountability...
I'm sorry, where have you been... forever? There is very strong evidence that in fact cops ARE above the law and accountability.
The thing to understand is that most cops are bullies, being a cop is the ultimate license to bully without repercussions.
Also, Anonymous has been around a while...
Yes they have. And they have been stealing and selling credit card numbers the whole time.

Joy, great joy! Another damned monitor [almost] no one needs ...
I'm sure it will make subtile brand suggestions at the direction of Marketing...
No one never told you about backups and hashes?
I think the parent knows all about hashish.
Unfortunatly, it's all about building killing machines and machines that support killing machines...
That's where the money is.
RoboCop!

Fad.
...of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of Linode.com
Allowing a "super user" password to fall into unauthorized hands *is not* negligence of Linode.com?

The patent office rubber stamps whatever comes in, and lets the courts sort it out.

most of its money -- millions of dollars per year -- comes from the very companies whose labor practices it is supposed to scrutinize
Where *else* would they get their money?
The UN is funded by *GASP* its member nations!
Your local police department is funded by *GASP* you!
So what?
