and if someone says something on Slashdot, it must be true!
Well, the fact that this "story" made it past "editorial review" pretty much speaks to that! Seriously, even just a Google would show there's a problem with this "story".
Life will go on unchanged. They will still get their buy-out.
Exactly. After the obscenity that was the mortgage scandal, did anything change? Nope, and the greedy bastards responsible even got a shitload of free money from The Taxpayers...
Actually, it would be more like stocking the BestBuy catalog in the magazine section at Wal-Mart. But really, to fully understand this situation, someone will have to develop a Car Analogy.
But I agree: iProducts are not "open" platforms, they are a branded product that delivers an Apple "experience". There's really no reason Apple should be expected to allow the competition to promote itself on their product, it doesn't make business sense.
Once you deny people and sorts of rights, including due process or legal counsel then abuses and screw-ups should be expected. That was rather the point of the OP.
I agree 100% that ICE has stepped over the line, and we now live in a Police State. But claiming that ICE is rounding up US Citizens here in the USA and keeping them in Black Prisons shipping them out of the country is... Tin Foil Hat.
While we are not there yet, I agree that it may not be too far in the future when this is a reality.
ALL of the cases that you give (questionable) links to are disturbing. But... NONE of those cases involve *bonafide official US citizens*.
I'm not disputing that ICE has stepped over the bounds and that we now live in a Police State. But saying that ICE has deported *US Citizens* for anything other than legitimate extraditable crimes is, as you well know, BULL SHIT.
"American citizen of the brown persuasion accidentally repatriated to some random country that he looked like he might be from, ICE tells his lawyer that they don't know where he is"
Really? American citizens deported? Reference? Names? Or are you just full of shit on this point? American CITIZENS?
Four months later he regained consciousness on the vomit strewn bathroom floor of a third rate Key West motel struggling to remember how he got there...
Wait... Damn... Not again. This happened to me last year...
When I was in that position, I would wake up each morning, go to the washroom and throw up into the toilet.
Are you sure that had to do with job anxiety? Perhaps you should have hit a few AA meetings or something. Jägermeister for breakfast, lunch, and dinner takes its toll, dude.
Tape the foil on tighter if you like, I'm going for the turkey.
They got to you, didn't they? How much did they pay you? Are they holding your family?
Different Source of "Anxiety"...

Anxiety and IT?

To all the server room monkeys and desktop admins...
If my job could be described this way, my anxiety would probably come more from the fear that I was ripe for "outsourceing" or "rightsizing" or whatever the HR thugs are calling it when they ship jobs to the slave labor camps overseas... Not from the possibility of being called in on Turkey day (when I might well be in a black-out drunken stupor)...
Not only does the TSA not plan to make any changes in response to the scanner issue, they have said that they would like similar "security" for Amtrak and Greyhound.
Next up, searches and scanners at malls. Folks, it's too late. We let them have their way for the pas 9 years or so, and they have grown too strong to stop.
Why is it that the editors seem to assume that we all know who Attachmate are?
Because many people do, and many who don't know how to Google? You have enough time to bitch, you have enough time to educate yourself as to who Attachmate is (and was in the past before they became a patent troll).
And Julian Assange seems to trying to cement his reputation as an attention-seeking little boy. I (and most people) don't know what really happened with the whole "rape" allegation, but based on his antics in the press, and his past history, whilst I seriously doubt he actually raped somebody, I don't have much trouble believing he's an arrogant little twat who probably overstepped the bounds of decency with a few girls. It's hardly like he's actually denied sleeping with them, he's just denied actually outright raping them. Poetic justice, if there ever was any.
It's interesting that you should say this and be modded "Interesting", since last week when such a comment would have certainly resulted in "Troll" or "Flamebait".

as long as you name the file bruce.pdf. It saves confusion
This one?
He was in Sweden, not America. But he'll be in a little vacation spot in Cuba soon...
There's a difference between not treating women with respect and raping them.
Apparently not in Sweden...
This seems to be blatant character assassination and should be beneath an international political body.
He had the opertunity to speak to the weeds in person as they requested, but declined. This is the result.

Wikileaks is NOT pro-US, or anti-US.
Oh come on. That's bullshit and you know it.

My first thought at seeing the picture was that this was some new TSA insult.
Four months later he regained consciousness on the vomit strewn bathroom floor of a third rate Key West motel struggling to remember how he got there...

Why don't you have some dirty hot sex with me?

I'll have to check out PCMag and see if it's worth subscribing to.
It's not.
I like the idea of placing "hidden" messages (metal ink or thread) in yout under wear.

If you're so successful, why the fuck are you linking people to Facebook instead of a proper website? Fehkoff, cock-gobbler.
It's probably not the real "Donald Brownlie Fleming" that posted here at Slashdot, just some asshat who wants to make trouble for the guy.
