You make a valid point. Honestly, I can see where people are coming from - gathering information is not necessarily evil. But by the same token, I don't like my information being gathered.
And your post was modded offtopic, too. I love Slashdot sometimes...it's +5 Insightful if you post how useful an article is, but -1 Flamebait if you deride it for being unworthy.
Yeah, 1.5 has differential update support, but since it's in beta, who knows how much testing that code has gotten (for those who don't know, autoupdate is toggled off in beta and CVS releases).
What part of "Everyone under level 50 almost instantly dies" was complicated?
It's an insanely potent plague. You won't live too long after getting it, and even if you infect other towns, chances are good that someone there already had it.
I read a HOWTO, written by a student in a college which used RFID chips in cards for authenticating students, about building a nice device for artificially duplicating any given chip's signal. I can't find it offhand, but I know it's there...someone on Slashdot has to have read it.
I was curious about this service's updating policy, so I ran a simple search.
One of my friends has an omg lol emo account on LiveJournal, and a few months ago, they went on an omg friends only spree, protecting almost all of their entries.
I searched for their username on Google Blog Search, and it linked their blog - unsurprising. What was surprising was that it also linked to all of the protected entries that I could think of, even those that are currently inaccessable, should you click the links to the pages.
What concerns me about this is whether Google will ever clean its index of these results...admittedly, it will be entertaining if they do not, but when you or someone you care about does something stupid, like accidentally posting that e-mail that their boss sent around with the contact information intact publicly, then realizes their mistake and removes it, how long after that will Google retain the data?
Slashdot Mirror
The DVD's been out for days.
We'd love to, if only they'd tell us what code.
So they finally release a list of what they think was put in Linux illegally, and we can't see it to rewrite the code to have a "legal" OS?
How entertaining.

Yes, if I'm allowed to make a fake one that tells the next person to try and authenticate with it "I AM AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT DETAIN ME"
It works on and off under WINE, but yeah, I see your point, and wonder it myself.
I think they were saying not that it won't run, but that it runs better in the native environment.
:)
Presumably, this is a problem neither you nor I have run into.
I, too, am curious about this.
Codeweavers already announced that they were working on that codebase.
I can't find the announcement, but have a line from the last WINE CVS drop changelog:
* Some fixes for MacOS/x86.
It's funny because it's absurd, thus the funny mod.
:)
Also, I wonder how well WINE runs Cygwin.
Yes - in that vein, how can you patch a bug that's already patched?
I've been using nightly builds for a few months, and the memory issue doesn't seem to come up for me, ever.
:)
I have yet to see Firefox leeching exceedingly large amounts of RAM if I have one tab open, even after I left it open for days.
Linux 2.6.12 kernel, various nightlies (I roll up nightlies once a week, roughly, barring any unforseen bugs noticed).
He linked to a UK torrent site right from the article! He's a legal genius!
The best part, for me at least, about this pipe is that it offers decent upstream.
:D
This will, in turn, increase the general level of KB/s that people cap their upstream to.
This will, in turn, result in faster torrents.

$100!? $40 nets you a nice one off Newegg. Dual layer, too.
Please stop posting articles which the majority of the Slashdot community find insulting to their intelligence.
Thank you.

So I've been told by the one who coined that phrase.
Well fuck me with a chainsaw, that sucks.

At least it's confined to one server...I think.
I agree. It's so very sad how many people believe in the inherent security of all systems, without any evidence...
It's even sadder, however, how many system developers don't care, or don't have the knowledge to implement it.
After reading this, I'm going to.
The sad part is, I'm completely serious.
Already done...I think.
