Now whether timothy can lend some community cred to anything is a whole other matter.;)
Neither Weichert nor Facebook's privacy officers would comment on the record, but a member of the ULD who wished to stay anonymous said "We're glad we could come to this agreement. Facebook is a wonderful free service. We hope to continue to...accommodate this...wonderful...free service," as he caressed his monitor and looked over deposits to his bank accounts.
Tensions erupted during a meeting with about a dozen executives at Google's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters about 18 months ago when Messrs. Page and Brin shouted at each other over how aggressively Google should move into targeting, according to a person who had knowledge of the meeting. "It was awkward," this person said. "It was like watching your parents fight."
Mr. Brin was more reluctant than Mr. Page, this person said. Eventually, he acquiesced and plans for Google to sell ads targeted to people's interests went ahead.
I often go back to that article when I hear Page-did-this, Page-did-that, and I love to, because everything that has gone wrong with Google, its transformation into a marketer paradise, and Brin's general fawning for him since, can be traced to it. It's easy for people to love you and build your goals when you give them no other damn choice.
Yup, sounds like your usual solid waste slang. Yes, it uses an extruder in the "printing" process but would I really want customers to remember it like that!?
I'll eventually get some sort of 3d printer in any case though. At some point I'd want to print out swag witches and staves and stuff to go with my ever-longer attempts to make a game. The experience (and money, and government regulations) would be fun.
Concur. If you absolutely must make one of those marketing-porn pics the sole content of your next tumblr post, at least put some damn alt and maybe longdesc* attributes with meaningful info.
Those of us who still can see get stuck with elinks sometimes, after all.
Wednesday's announcement marks a rare show of consensus at the International Telecommunications Union meeting in Dubai, where delegates remain deeply divided over whether to endorse greater government sway over the Internet.
Say what now? I'm pretty sure we have consensus here that that's Complete And Utter Bullshit. The only point of dispute there is which government(s) get the greater sway (because they all want authoritarian power over content and delivery for their own reasons); and the only dispute here is whether the US or one of the other govs would be less horrible (and the comments I've read thus far mostly sway toward the US).
...sought any favors from Google, in exchange for having its fiber service included in the list despite its small service area?
...made any attempt to encourage (with money, etc.) any the listed ISPs to offer their high-speed services in more areas, despite the utter failure of the US gov and other groups to get them to so serve a reasonably large proportion of the country?
I'd consider Yes answers to 1 and 2 somewhat bad and (if any money changes hands after evidence of buildout) very good, respectively. (Not that any answer would make me want to sign up for Netflix.)
All VLC donators should withhold their money until VLC's devs can prove they no longer wish to legitimize Windows 8's closed "ecosystem" and radically wrong "Modern" UI. They should wait until the devs can agree to skip this version (and instead improve support and integration with earlier Windowses as needed until 9 arrives). Even one dollar will convince MS that people think 8 is some "necessary evil" and keep them from immediately apologizing for that dreck.
It's one thing to, say, force programs (by default UAC settings) to save docs and settings away from the Program Files folders (which should've been the norm anyway), as Vista and 7 do; it's another to drop the Start button to make people want to buy a whole new computer with an inherently less-precise touch interface, or ban freely-developed programs outright (on Windows RT, at least) to force programmers to pay for admission to the API and app store. There are other (larger?) problems, but those alone require us to send a friendly reminder that developers (developers developers...) within and without MS made prior Windowses usable in the first place, and that we have not authorized career marketers to fuck up what could've been a decent OS.
Yeah, if the "depressed-hipster 'can't live with unity' meme" line didn't drill it in, Shuttleworth finished the job and made the big leagues there. What a jerk.
T-Mobile USA CEO John Legere said while speaking at the Deutsche Telekom conference Thursday that it will carry the iPhone and will offer it in a different way. 'What was missing? A certain number of customers wouldn't come to the store if we didn't have the iPhone,' Legere said.
In the story as submitted, the Link to Original Source is to the proper article, but that link was not used within the blurb, so I guess UL just didn't add it to the blurb either.
Maybe the LtOS field should be removed, and submitters should be told to just link to TFA within the blurb and bold it or rel="mainarticle" it or whatever.
But this forces users to pay twice: once for the use of Google, now that they'll charge per search; and once to view the full article after reading the abstract on the publisher's site! You don't want the publishers to earn money twice!?
(a)...until Microsoft requires PCs to have mandatory Restricted Boot to have its shiny Windows Logo, or (better yet) for "protection" from patent lawsuits.
(b) see (a) and replace "mandatory Restricted Boot" with "soldered-on storage" (see also Intel). It meshes perfectly with people's slow migration to solid-state.
I hope for neither but expect both, at least as long as Ballmer or Larson-Green run anything there.
To all of Slashdot's out-of-US readers: On behalf of the United States of America, I apologize for this event. I do not live in Smith's Congressional district; nor would I have dare voted that anti-freedom, anti-technology SOPA author and professional monster to Congress (let alone this apparently influential committee position) if I did.
Smith has left great bruises on the certainty of a free internet and will now leave a great and lasting scar on Science and the Useful Arts. He will not endanger the science of "climate change" or "global warming", he will endanger knowledge itself.

Without kWh statistics, I call shenanigans.
The GIFT gave them a giant excuse as well. Thanks, Penny Arcade! Thanks for fucking up the internet.
Foxconn will buy the rest of the company and accept a buyout offer from Microsoft.
Microsoft's Visual FoxPro cameras will become all the rage.
Maybe Facebook does not want help. That's a good thing, because no one should want to help Facebook.

Golf courses all the way down...
Took me a while to figure out if that was just bad spelling or a chant to Cthulhu.
It also says he hasn't really changed much in the past few years.

Yeah, this falls right into the "Good luck with that!" pile--even if this were a serious proposal, it's already a dead one.
Flickr holder YHOO and FB are now in a "strategic alliance", and it's very safe to say the less financially successful of the two would rather listen to their more profitable partner than...
So expect nothing (if not less) from this.

Exactly. I have two questions for Netflix:
Has the company...

Just don't tell their salespeople the submitted version has a working link!
Now I wonder if any of those customers acted like this.
...probably a good idea.
An RTBF would harm Facebook's private use of the data they've gathered from their products.

Irrelevant. He's a server-room system manager, so that implies he's in wizard mode and not getting his score counted.
