Anyway, these fuckers need to be exposed and ousted, and now. No more excuses.
I'd say all bloggers even remotely involved with this need to get anonymized now and expose everything on these cartels.
Such an approach assumes the connection from the person to anonymizer is also secure. hell whats to stop them going to the local ISP and threatening an Admin and saying give us a list of everyone that uses this anonymizer, these are not people of high moral standing or people constrained by privacy laws and they certainly don't need to establish some burden of proof, if they get 10 names they just kill all 10 to make sure they got the one they are looking for.
The guy has just admitted they stuffed up. they had a responsibility to protect your data that they force you to provide. This is the equivalent of being raped in a police station and then being happy that the cops admitted it happened and are very sorry about it.
Possibly because they didn't own the patents, that was Tandy and they acquired them through the purchase of Grid and they did sue everyone and farely quickly got settlements. Back then it wasn't IBM making laptops it was Tandy, Osbourne, Compaq and I think Radio Shack.
The current patent system is ridiculous, however your suggestion takes that ridiculousness to a whole new level, by some chance do you work for the patent office? that is the type of even more broken system I would expect to come out of there. You want companies to broadcast their plans to their competitors? you want people with patents to read through what would be thousands of product ideas a day? hell you would need a team dedicated 24x7 to read all of the intended product developments.
Sooooo now email is a function of the OS you use and not a client Application? FFS where the hell does slashdot find these retards, this used to be a place where at least most people had some semblence of knowledge even if opinions were heavily slanted.
To be fair it is not Europe that is broke, It is Greece with a few other wobbly economies, then we have the rest of europe which is generally ok but awefully pissed at the moment they they are being affected by the braindead decision to let the basketcase that is greece join a decade ago despite them being in incredibly bad shape even back then.
source please? While I agree upper management is way overpayed, from what I can see the average is still around 30-50 times. seriously what companies are paying 1000x? at that rate even the less highly skilled industries would have to be paying close to 100 million or more per CEO?
ummmm NO. They are in prison to be punished, part of the punishment is removal of many of their rights and freedoms until completion of their punishment. Any work they do should be well below minimum wage as we are paying for them to be in there. Options should be either productive learning or work, entertainment at best should be minimal and certainly not luxury entertainment items that many in society can't even afford, it is not a resort.
Cowards wouldn't have initiated a challenge in the first place. Cowards don't throw down a gauntlet in front of the Zetas, and then walk away quietly. Something else is awry.
I have no idea whether anonymous are cowards or not, but you are dead wrong, the behaviour exhibited is exactly how the classical cowardly school yard bully works, pushing people around and making demands until confronted and then finding some excuse to back down. whether they are cowards or not, backing down in this situation I think was probably smart, the moronic thing was getting into the situation in the first place, what sort of retard attacks a gang of people with money, resources and a complete lack of ethical or legal constraints. Such a confrontation can only end badly, while saying "ner ner, can't prove it was me" to the FBI might work, it will do nothing but earn yourself and your family an early grave with these people.
Global Warming? of course it is global warming related, Bitcoin mining uses the Graphics card which itself directly creates heat, not to mention also increases power usages, most likely this trojan is the missing link in the whole climate change debate.
The unions have been doing rolling strikes for the last few months, The red ties had nothing to do with Qantas's actions, it was the strikes combined with demands for large pay increases and guarenteed no out sourcing. Qantas is already losing money by the bucket full on international operations, The unions are basically sending them to the wall, makes you wonder what sort of morons run the unions when anyone with half a brain can see there demands will only ensure they all lose there jobs.
I am all for supporting the workers, but at some point the companies involved need to make a profit, Qantas has been going backwards for years now with share price a quarter of there highs, and the demands being made here by unions would probably drive qantas to the wall and it would certainly decimate the share price, What point is there in ensuring top paying jobs if there are no jobs?
Military battles are something that can be effectively analyzed from past experience and knowledge as they are something you can make educated assumptions about what the parties involved would do in different circumstances, you cannot even begin to construct a likely scenario for how the web market would have evolved if the netscape/MS battle never happened as you simply have insufficient information about the players involved and absolutely zero past reference or experience as to what the other parties would have done..
Acrobat sucks balls, but I have to agree, let the friggen web browser do what it does best, browse the web, what is so wrong with having your pdf reader of choice open seperately, more gunk in browsers is not what we need.
The problem is that this "what if" is extremely dumb and started from a flawed premise "no browser wars, no open Web standards", At the time this all started up there was a miriad of browsers out there, however between the 2 propriety browsers of Microsoft and Netscape they killed them all off, the truth is we will never know whether the browser wars were beneficial or detrimental to the web eco system, perhaps without that war all the other browsers would have have flourished into a vibrant and stable eco-system bringing about a web nirvana instead of withering and dying, we will never know and don't have enough information to make usefull "what if" statements to learn from the past in this case.
while I agree our economy has done quite well throughout the GFC on the back of the mining boom, you may want to recheck your debt numbers as while they are not so bad, 2009/2010 was not in the black, it was over 50 billion in the red, I believe the 2009/2010 deficit was our largest ever on record as well.
Apple were borderline going out of business, In those situations short term profits are far more important as you have to still be alive to collect long term profits.
powerpoint is a tool, generally all tools are made to make a job easier, hence why we create them. It can be used effectively, just because the majority use it as a crutch doesn't mean there is something fundamentally wrong with the tool. blame person that is incorrectly using it. do you also try to ban cars because of bad drivers?
They revolutionized nothing. This isn't a apple hate speach but the ipod sent the digital music player market backwards and stagnated the market. It had less features, less storage and worse sound quality while being more expensive than the at the time market leaders in the digital music player industry. However they appealed to the trendy mass market crowd and basically sent all the competitors products to the wall, this wasn't all apples fault of course, much can be put at the feet of the craptastic job the then market leaders did a the time of promoting their products and the huge market fragmentation that existed.
I had a good laugh all week at a few people trying to use the FAIL that is Siri at work, it seems apple forgot that the majority of the world doesn't talk with an american accent. It is less accurate than the voice activation on phones from 4 or 5 years ago.

Law enforcement being scared or bought? Or both?

Why bribe when you can just show them the machette they will use to remove your head if you don't comply?

Bullshit. Every single one of those phones is sold with a contract, and Apple most certainly knows how many phones the carriers are selling.
Oh really? I am sure you will show me in the fine print where places like expansys provide these mythical contracts then? http://www.expansys.com.au/store/apple-iphone-4/

There were already multiple other browsers at the time, there was no need for another to emerge.

You do realise WoW WASN'T the first warcraft game right? Warcraft 3 I think it was that introduced them.
