I'm still waiting on the bathroom-gaming announcement. "Turn your tired old mirrored medicine-cabinet door into the place to smash headcrabs, sap sentries, make headshots, dock your Kerbals' spacecraft, and maybe even brush your teeth."
It also doesn't stop some rival from producing a crop with equivalent properties expressed through some other means.
...and there's the problem. By enabling Monsanto to patent life, you encourage others to do so. Even if Monsanto only used its patent in some copyleft sort of way, you'd have some even greater asshole or two or 37 who decide that once a nice breeze brings some of their pollen into your crops, you've become a dirty floppy-copying "IP" thief ripe to bend over de jure.
At least your orifices will be Roundup Ready(tm) once they're done.
One of the draws to these revenue generating sites is being able to comment. I suspect that when push comes to shove, many anonymous commenters won't bother to comment any more, nor visit the site and read the articles. This will affect the HP's bottom line.
...unless, of course, the big guns of the social-marketing complex are making up for that lost revenue.
"Hey, mind if we throw ya a bit o'greens here and there? Oh, you're very welcome, we just need to see those names of yours so our real customers can use them as, y'know...volunteer endorsements for TV commercials. 'Organic' advertising, y'know, totally not fake or unsolicited or tracked down by the government. The *nudge* 'viral' web. *wink*"
Looks like it might be time to donate again. There's something ridiculous about the need to buy decent government by donating to a charitable organization, but hey, they're doing better than most, and most of "us" (Slashdot readers) can probably afford it. Normally I'd suggest the option of doing it by way of the Humble Bundle, but currently they don't include that option...
...probably because it would conflict with the interests of EA (see the Bundle's current front page).
With the UK's (and undoubtedly US's) despicable attack against Greenwald (the sort of lover-detainment that's quite simply the "evil" of good-vs-evil stories everywhere) I'm now highly convinced the budget stuff is a distractive sideshow, or even exactly what Obama wants of Congress. (If a budget is never submitted, then there's no budget to scrutinize for, say, certain secret departments' expenses.)
This is probably not needed for their drivers though. The use of middle fingers and "FUCK YOU!" appears to have caught on just fine as an industry standard.
Exactly the same as it currently is. Microsoft would make the workers quit, and those that somehow do get fired won't get unemployment status (and benefits) for various reasons.

Seriously, Slashdot should continue adding "(PDF warning)" to PDF links, and add "(Facebook warning)" in the same fashion to fb links.
We're happy to hear about your upcoming protocol. We hope to have...influential...conversations with you as soon as possible.

Don't get me started about their + operator change either...
We give, they take.
...and if the transfer speeds are reasonable, then cut off for "data limit" reasons.
No, I don't think it's just a conspiracy.
Well you haven't exactly avoided being a humor cheepskate.
I dunno, but it would be nice if they were 404 Compliant.
Explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate? Sounds like the US government, actually.
As if Linus needs another reminder about the SSD.

I'd rather not. It's not like we can stop Flo from selling insurance or anything.
They didn't just feed the troll. They gave him all-you-can-eat steak and caviar, catering for a party of five, and coupons for tomorrow's main course.

Speaking of EA...WTF, Humble?
Too big to fai^Wrepair.
I'll just put this Mark Twain work out there...
A real Obnoxious System, as opposed to a real Operating System.
The real reason for those guidelines is so that people can be certain your App Store software is 100% proprietary.
If they cared about viruses and privacy and safety and all that, then Facebook wouldn't have been approved.

They are screened. They only select the finest social networks to send their spammy users here.

Carefully. Microsoft believes any sufficiently nebulous implementation is indistinguishable from something patentworthy.

I always thought "Ridiculous Tragedy" myself.
