wait, what "their services" ? is skype now financing internet connections to households ? last i heard it was households/individuals getting an internet connection to use for data transfer... which would be like somebody buying a car and then getting told by the manufacturer "oh, you will transport pumpkins with it ? there's a 30km limit on it, after that it's 2.5 units per km !" (there's a car analogy; and i might be in favour of it as i don't like pumpkins)
Some people will say, "but they advertise to me a 10Mbps connection so I'm going to use it," ignoring the realities of internet connections being oversold as the reason they can get a 10Mbps connection out in suburbia for $45/mo. Yeah, we can all max them out, but if we do we have to expect prices to rise.
wait. isn't that a bit like "you can get two rubber boots for $45, but you may only take one of them with you, the other one has to remain in the store" ? fuck it, either you provide what you advertise, or you get charged with false advertising. is something you advertise more expensive than you say it is ? wonderful, LET THE PRICES RISE. i would highly prefer honest service over slightly lower prices.
how braindead would a teen have to be to delete and discourage such pictures ? or more like it, how fucking braindead must a grownup be to expect them to ?
if i received any picture like that (best phones we could get could barely send sms;) ), i can't even imagine what i'd have thought of some idiot who requested me to delete and discourage girls from sending such pics...
eh, i guess my jealousy of these things has not turned into a sickness, at least not as huge one as some puritans have it
a glance at the article only seemed to touch on bios controlling, it didn't seem to imply full remote keyboard/video/mouse control. if so, ssh would be MUCH better.
it only mentions "install an OS", which is very vague and doesn't imply the above.
i'm also somewhat suspecting that in cases of police violence or other offenses the camera recordings... mysteriously would be lost. or camera would turn out not to be recording. or something.
it seems to me like large part of the problem is not pleasing the technical customers. many years ago hp printers were nearly guaranteed to work just by relying on a standard set of drivers. a new device would often "just work" with some ppd. snmp monitoring was there, and snmp mibs were easily available.
as for servers... _their_ servers never were that good. compaq was much better, and it seemed like hp realised that, judging by their server transitions:)
then printer mibs got worse, were harder to find (a hp rep told me they don't even provide them at all...), raid array controllers started hanging when queried for their state (and the "fix" was a wrapper shellscript to limit query rate...), raid controllers became more limited (unable to expose drives directly)... network equipment didn't seem to degrade that quickly (at least mibs were somewhat better:) ), but the attitude from printer & server guys was "fuck off, we sold it to you, use what you get". that didn't inspire confidence much.
omfg. you just type "firefox" and somebody plays a viola ? or do you magically get flowers ? that sounds very awesome, wondering what kind of nanotechnology assembly is used there. do you need new hardware ?
will you go on religion sites and ask people there to shut the fuck up ? pushing religion is much, much louder than "pushing atheism". latter barely exists in some comments on the internet, and you get all wound up because of those ? on a technical site ?
doesn't seem like backing off - more like designing special classes that would not be abused, thus reducing the complaints. start with those who fly most often, but are still a small enough group to have everybody else remaining...
x11 in general - seems to work just fine. remote x11, especially over a high latency link... ouch. it is an extremely chatty protocol and, as far as i know, no reasonable caching is built-in.
granted, for the time it was developed (and for local use today) it was just fine. but i have to use remote x fairly often over slow connections. well, not really, i'm using nx (because plain x is totally unusable) - but that's closing source and it's session management is extremely terrible.
this just prevented me from creating g+ account. i have some not-too-critical gmail account, am not on other "social" networks and was considering registering on g+, if only to harm facebook a bit;)
but having such draconian tos and then closing _all_ accounts ? thanks, no.
do you - downhole - personally feel that sexual abuse in prisons is appropriate ? including all the innocents getting convicted (think movie witch hunt or other similar cases), all the minor convictions (smoked some weed) and so on ?
personally, i would not have guts to condemn a person who would in the end find the means to kill off those who got them in the prison wrongfully. and i believe we should not make prisons a place to breed people like that.
Yes. They seem to be from the MS School of thought. You remember those people...everything must run MS and if it doesn't, it sucks. The guys who run Ultimate editions of everything even though they don't need it, and brag about having a beta version of Office. Well now they work in IT.
the manager from the summary... why not publish his name so that we can ridicule him ?;)
And some general advice: don’t go too crazy trying to do _everything_ in Linux for the principle of it. If it’s easy, do it, if not, just get a windows VM up and running
is that an offer to cover the cost for anybody, or a suggestion to pirate it ?:)
could you please point at reputable, conclusive studies, showing standard consumer electronic devices like digital cameras having a significant possibility to disrupt a passenger aircraft ?
given the resources devoted to ensure no operation of such devices i would expect there to be a lots of studies showing conclusive outcome.

A security guard has the right to detain you and call police to have you arrested.
i seem to recall that pretty much every member of the public has this right :)

i know, i know. slashdot users could figure out some very, very rude meaning for word 'eric'. and use it a lot. would it end up on your list ? :)

yes. just - yes. second carma. then it could be cleaned up from "fancy" things...
GOTCHA
you should be able to patent the process to make that steel, not the material itself. with a reasonable expiry date.

i don't think it's nerds. more like silverlight designers and developers trolling slashdot, trying to keep their abomination alive.
oh, and the two developers for it as well.
Children in school yards are easy targets for rifles.
did you just compare fbi to children in schoolyards ?

that' not reverse engineering. reverse engineering is getting those specs without any access to the original spec.
my brain fails me with recalling the name for what you describe, but it suggests names like dark room implementation/specification.
