Why was Tinder allowing 13 year olds to access their Creepy People Database anyway? I mean, Iâ(TM)ve seen some pretty hot teens that make my wiener twitch a bit, but, uh, no. Just no.
When I was in college I made a VERY decent living buying used books at garage sales and library sales and then selling them to used bookstores like Powell's World of Books (Portland)
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
And if the US Government gets ahold of Snowden, these three things are what they will charge, just look at how the definition of "terrorism" has evolved in the last 10 or so years. Most "judges" will accept it.
Snowden can come back and be the stand-up guy that will throw it all away for the slim chance at "justice", but chances are that means living the rest of his life in a Federal Prison. He can talk math with Ted Kaczynski who actually is a dangerous and crazy guy...
Snowden will live out his life in Russia if he is smart, which is a shame. Being an intelligent and educated man, I'm sure his Russian language skills are pretty good at this point.
Who here installs such an app and simply takes the default permissions? Well, probably not anyone that reads Slashdot. And the other Facebook users? they don't care.
So, they ALREADY collect, have, keep, access this data, it's just that they have decided to use modern methods to better access it?
In other words, this is not a new problem, it's been going on for many years, they are just upgrading their IT?
I'm shocked. SHOCKED I TELL YOU!, this from a government that has CCTV and license plate readers on every single street corner everywhere in their country, and have for many years.
You use a free service you have to accept their structure and design. Seriously, I'm tired of all the bitching about Facebook, don't like it, don't use it.
By the same logic, everybody does not need to learn about literature, history, mathematics, woodwork, PE, geography, chemistry, physics, biology, civics...
The whole "everybody needs to learn to code" thing has got out of hand. Everybody DOES NOT need to learn to code, and in fact many if not most people have no interest or aptitude for programming . Some people need to learn to weld. Others need to learn to cook. Yet other need to learn to drive trains. Some people (but obviously not Slashdot "editors") need to learn to write and edit. And quite frankly, there are the vast majority that will never move beyond learning how to drop a fry basket. But everybody DOES NOT need to learn to "code".
No one cares about your Scientology obsession, because no one cares about Scientology. If you were stupid enough to get sucked into it in the first place, you're still stupid.
With GPL3, GPL is essentially dead. Most people use a different, more reasonable, Open Source License like the MIT and BSD licenses. With all due respect to one of the great fathers of Open Source, RMS killed the GPL with his unbending Socialist influence.

I think it's less hyperbole and more a sign of what Oracle is considering. She's let the cat out of the bag - Oracle must be exploring options to charge even more for their products.
I'm sorry, this is news? It's been more or less the public strategy for Microsoft and every other big software house for the last few years. There's no cat in any bag anymore, the cat escaped a few years back.
The word "hacked" is overused. Making a fairly easy assumption that the default UID / PID has not been changed by some rube North Koreans who didbn't expect anyone to notice the demo site is hardly a "hack".
On the other hand, I'll bet that the REAL North Korean intel guys gathered a whole lot of data from the honeypot site.
you have no right to identify me via face recognition.
What if I kept a big book of photographs taken in public places where there is no expectation of privacy and did it by hand, no computers? Would that be OK?
You are going to stop me, a private individual, from taking pictures in public places, and the - just because I that kind of neurotic guy - suit at home and correlate images with other material publically available on the Intertubs?
Look, at a certain point, you have to decide if you need to live up 10 miles of dirt road in rural America. Been there, done that. But your issue with you being in public, that's not my issue.
Annette Hurst, an attorney at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe who represented Oracle in the recent Oracle v. Google trial, has written an opinion piece for Ars Technica in which he urges...
As usual, great Slashdot "editor" work here... Unless it's a transgender "dude" or "lady"...
Timothy is still around, but that seems to be it. And yes, Whipslash was very enthusiastic and receptive to feedback - initially, but apparently the management is stressing over the fact that they are unable to monetize Slashdot to the degree they had hoped.
Servers cost money, staff costs money, but thinking that Slashdot would ever be a "cash cow" indicates mental illness. Break even? Perhaps.
Slashdot CAN be a part of a money making enterprise, but only as a accessory, a "value added" component to a bigger picture.
Given how bad Dice fucked up with Sourceforge, I'm not sure they can ever recover that, and Sourceforge is really the "diamond" they need to work on. Slashdot is the "social network" for people using Sourceforge, but first you have to have people come back to Sourceforge.

A "manifesto", eh? That'll get people's attention!
"I swear, officer, she said she was 19" will get a lot more credible now even for people who're caught with a girl that has no tits...
Clearly you have not seen a lot of nude 13 year old chicks...

VK is where I search for my porn. There's some wild and crazy stuff on VK.

I just use my dog's name. Fortunately, I named my dog, "x:65=;V@Y|Dg#OdJ!T"
Now I know your password, idiot. All you bases belonging to me!
All of my passwords are 32 char random strings using all the available chars.
The only drawback is that I have to write them down on a yellow sticky.
Fortunately, none of the hackers have physical access to my collection of yellow stickies...

I have a much better approach: My social life does not revolve around Facebook "friends".
So, they ALREADY collect, have, keep, access this data, it's just that they have decided to use modern methods to better access it?
In other words, this is not a new problem, it's been going on for many years, they are just upgrading their IT?

If user dissatisfaction causes people to move to other services or use Facebook less then Facebook will have no choice but to make concessions.
Because that approach has worked so well with Windows 10...

Correct.

Reminds me of a flat-bed plotter. A little faster, perhaps.

Well now, Mr. 1,444,407, clearly you have been around a long time and know all about what matters at Slashdot.
Interesting how all comments, no matter how constructive, that are in any way negative to Slashdot get modded down...
