Censorship you say? Not the kinda thing slashdot was built on. No matter what a person wants to say, censoring it is not the answer... ever. As much as I might take offense or disagree with someone it doesn't give them any less right to say what they wish.
Thank god, someone else who remembers litestep, everyone else thinks I'm crazy. I hear windows 7 has them? But I'm not going to bother finding out for sure because I don't care.
Are you suggesting censorship? I think the current modding system does the trick in most cases, but if you'd like I'm sure a slashdot.cn can be arranged.

This time around I was allowed 1. I used to take them and pass them out at house parties and raves. Got quite a few people interested in Linux that way.:/
If you honestly see this as only being used for charging cellphones you are seriously blind. This sort of technology if expanded upon has a great number of possible uses, some that may even save lives.
Lets stop innovation entirely and let technology sit and stagnate for a few hundred years. It's a good thing you showed us the error of our ways or we might have advanced by leaps and bounds.
They've already used rubber bullets, batons, and fucking tear gas... A friend of mine has been out there for the majority of this week. Seeing that they only just used this now it's pretty pathetic.
There have been some cases such as the release of The Man From Earth where online piracy led to wide spread sales of the film. The director himself posted on several scene release sites and setup a paypal account where people who liked his movie could either donate a small amount or pre-order the dvd. Cases like this are far from common but I can see where this might be the future of entertainment. Surely if I like something enough and someone makes it easy for me to throw a few dollars to the people actually involved in the making of said entertainment instead of a greedy corporation I'm down with it.
Slashdot Mirror
Don't forget they made an animated series that.... oh wait... it failed horribly and no one liked it at all.

SciFi changed their name to SyFy... not the space channel.

You realize of course we'd also have to stop people from using dangerous third party dns services for their own protection..

Honestly I was thinking Q.
The nexus never occurred to me.
We would but we're afraid some assholes will come along 2/3 of a decade from now and decide it's not a real cloud.

As long as the side effects are less harmful than death I think it's still ok.
The the same should apply for tape/cd players, mp3 players, and radios.
Why stop at just phones and gps devices?

Hey get RIAA on board, they're fantastic at this sort of thing.
Ah yes the rule that dictates only one person on the slide at a time, this is definitely not to be forgoten.

Everyone was already thinking it long before that robot chicken episode aired...
Unless of course Mars is actually the cure for aging.
You've obviously never been hit in the face with an iMac then.
When the hell did the Ubuntu Forums become a trusted/valid source of news?
Slashdot is going downhill fast. I tried to deny it but this is just crap.
What's to stop me from using port 80 for things other than http?
Not a god damn thing that's what.
But they do become sentient and murder millions of people. Few humans ever do either.
