On a slightly more related note, they once got a call from a shuttle astronaut saying he was something like "700 miles over Hawaii" which they played along with pretending it meant "North of." He proceeded to describe some of the characteristics of his vehicle (0 to 17 m/s in 5 minutes, fuel tank holds 20,000 gallons or whatever, etc.) and of course the brothers wanted to know what color it was.
Face it, if you're not screwing the gas cap on correctly, there is a high probability that your careless disregard for the gas cap has caused a band of squirrels to take refuge in your fuel line.
In short: Space guys were hanging around drinking a slurpee (I swear one had a 7-11 cup!), got into the giant silver toaster-mobile, drove down the huge road to the vehicle building, and that's it. Waiting for press conference at 4PM (Eastern time, I am assuming).
The article just says "Windows ID management is bad. LDAP is better. Why is Windows' ID management bad? I'm not telling. Why is LDAP better? I'm not telling." It does nothing explain the position the title purposes.
This isn't to say I disagree but calling this article "news" is like calling the OpenLDAP FAQ news.
I fail to see your point. Broadcast TV, aka free TV, continues to be how it always was. You said that. Good.
However, cable TV now has commercials. And? Your point? It is their service. They can do what they want with it. They want to put up commercials, tough. Don't buy the stupid thing. Buy another stupid thing. Just don't come to Slashdot and bitch about it (that's what blogs are for!).
The "Internetworking With TCP/IP" series was written by Douglas Comer, not Richard Stevens.
Stevens wrote the "TCP/IP Illustrated" series and the "UNIX Network Programming" series, along with such other titles as "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment".
"Corporate America"? What about "political America funding science thus resulting in completely false results like the graph you cited"? Most global warming studies are funding by groups dedicated on proving that global warming exists. Yeah, that doesn't harm the results. No, no.
Lastly, nothing has been shown to link pollution with global warming. It is much more likely that global warming is part of natural climate cycles (but why would chicken little let fact get in their way?).
So, in other words, he modified the source code, which was being distributed. They didn't attempt to obfuscate that they didn't allow it from other hosts. They didn't entangle the code or anything. The code was wide open.
In other words, big friggin deal. All you had to do was grep the code of an error message and a little snipping of the code. Any fool could have done it. Or even screw that, it was domain-based. Setup an HTTP server, modify your hosts file to alias "video.google.com" (or whatever the domain was) to 127.0.0.1, and you're done. Or just modify VLC to know the MIME type "application/x-google-vlc-plugin" and you can play your heart away.
What "crack" will he do next? Take the VLC code to dump the file/stream you're playing, add it to Google's code, and create a Google Stream Ripper? Wow... how... amaz... ing. Or maybe add some awesome skins to the Google player? Yeah, that'd be great. Best part of all, he'll do it in 48 hours, while standing on his head, without sleeping, pizza, or coffee, and while playing the banjo!!!

URL to an MP3, if possible?
I thought the real geeks were in the Airstream.

Conspiracy in 5, 4, 3, 2...

I believe the Revolution is suppose to support monitor hookup out-of-the-box. Or at least, that is what they once said -- We'll see.

UNP comes off my shelf every time I have to write network-related code.
;)
Maybe you should try reading the book instead of using it as a reference.
2009 will be the perfect time to officially throw away your TV (Well, keep it for parts) and curl up with a good book.
Oh, but I know what you're thinking: "But HyperChicken, I need my PS3/Xbox360/Revolution". So hook them up to a monitor.

Donald Knuth? Created his own typesetting language. Can't get much more "do it yourself" than that.
Yes, it wasn't a logical flaw, but a mild attempt at small-time comedy. Both were, in fact.
Stop pointing out logical flaws.
One word: Free PR.
Page 31 of that thread: "he admitted to lying."
I'll take the word of someone who is saying someone is a liar over the word of someone who is saying they are telling the truth.
For the record, you're all liars.
Dupe: How Slashdot Lost Its Touch
It was a joke. Don't take it to heart.
Um... It was a general jab at Mac OS X being loaded with eye candy. Not so much a jab at Microsoft for copying the Mac UI.
Ooh-wee, eye candy!
;)
They're just copying from Apple.
I once read that the best way to get someone to swallow a lie is to mix a little truth into it.
Seems to work for Slashdot.
That second graph you point out has long since been discredited. The algorithm used to create it will always create similar looking graphs, no matter what data it is fed. Source: http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/04/10/wo_ muller101504.asp

Uh, if you alias "video.google.com" to 127.0.0.1 then you wont be able to view any videos that aren't hosted locally.
Thank you, Captain Obvious. Your services are no longer needed. Back to your Obvious Cave to rest and fight another day.

What is so difficult about knowing when to use then and when to use than?
Well, they sound similar for starters.
