I like pr0n as much as the next guy but a Slashdot groupthink seems to be developing that any entity restricting porn is bad evil censorship. Even if that entity is not government and it's not telling anyone else what to do except on its own site.
Tapping all phone calls and monitoring every email has tremendous benefits as well. Child pornographers can be caught. Racists can be tracked and cataloged. We must think of the children. And Trayvon. Do it for the children and Trayvon!
I agree we have too many unlicensed/uninsured drivers in CA. But the cure they propose is worse than the disease.
If you put in place all the pieces required for massive surveillance on citizens, sooner or later somebody in power will abuse it. Most likely sooner than later.
The price of freedom is not just eternal vigilance, it's also the willingness to put up with inconveniences. Such as having illegal aliens with no insurance ding up your car.
researchers should wonder if exposure to nanoparticles will disrupt cancer cell function or antibiotic-resistant superbug function and devise a strategy to shoot them with the appropriate nanoparticles.
This is a freaking school election...not a federal / city/state election..it is college, it means NOTHING....
I can see them being punished by the school, but WTF...Federal Prison?!?!?
Well you would have a point if all he did was rig a school election by distributing flyers telling people the election date has been changed or something of that nature.
However you seem to have missed the part of TFS that says he put keyloggers on other people's computers and stole their id/password. That's illegal and a jail-able offense. Or do you believe somebody putting a keylogger trojan on your computer should be legal?
parents of a child killed in a school shooting research for DNA markers that trigger violence. They succeed.
Nationwide program is created to find potential killers before they can strike. Everyone submits a DNA sample. Original researcher is flagged as having the bad DNA. He runs from police, jumping over maglev cars and spoofing retina recognition systems by having a new eyeball surgically implanted.
I find a surprising number of people who don't know the difference, not just dumb people but even those with normal intelligence who are competent in their fields.
Perhaps we can illustrate with movie examples. CIA = Jason Bourne, assassin we send abroad to kill foreign nationals who create trouble for the U.S. gov't. They only operate outside the USA, as they are forbidden by law to spy on or kill anyone inside the USA.
FBI = Jodi Foster in Silence of the Lambs, police who catch criminals inside the USA. They have no jurisdiction or power outside the USA.
he doesn't watch the TV in the living room, which is an older 60hz model. It might as well be a piece of stone, he doesn't acknowledge its existence.
However in the bedroom is a new 240hz LG LED with "tru motion". He frequently runs up to it and barks at it whenever he sees other dogs or people wearing dark-colored clothing.
In what alternate reality is 30 megabit-per-second an acceptable speed for accessing terabytes of data?
It's meant to intercept Cloud storage (like Dropbox) requests and put it on a local USB drive. 30 mbps upload to your USB stick is still hell of a lot faster than 768kbps upload speed most people have at home with their "broadband".
Suffer what consequences? You must be from the Midwest where people are clueless noobs when it comes to earthquakes. ZOMG earthquake! Run for your lives!!
Kind of like how Southern California drivers freak out when they have to drive in the rain and if there's even a tiny patch of snow or ice on the road, it's armageddon and traffic comes to a complete standstill with accidents all over the place. People from Wisconsin or someplace cold laugh and make fun of us.
TFA: Most of these quakes have been small, but some have exceeded magnitude 5.0.
5.0 would be like going on one of those mechanical toy horses kids ride for a quarter at the supermarket. Yes you will feel some shaking but any halfway decent structure built to code will suffer zero damage and maybe a few items on a shelf will fall down. In Sept 1987 there was a 5.9 earthquake, we were pretty close to the epicenter (~15 miles) and I remember it well. Our school didn't shut down, classes went on as normal. Power never went out. There was zero damage to the school. It happened just before the school started, and in first period everybody was all talking about it excitedly. The teacher said she hid under her desk and she was very scared, but she came from the Midwest and this was her first earthquake.
The Northridge quake in 1994 was a 6.4, it was a pretty big quake and when I woke up at ~4:30 AM from the shaking, I was very concerned that my house was going to collapse because it was shaking so hard. The power did go out that time, the whole city in fact. We went outside and it was pitch dark and you could see thousands of stars. I never saw so many stars in my life.
We did a damage assessment to our house, and the only damage was a crack in the brick chimney! We were amazed. It wasn't built like a fortress or anything, it was just an ordinary wood frame house built in the 1930's. I suppose the builders did a good job back in the day and maybe we were lucky. But Santa Monica (where I was) apparently has a direct connection to the epicenter (via bedrock under the SM mountains? not sure but that's what the news reports said) and the earthquake was stronger in Santa Monica than anywhere else except the Valley itself.
Anyways the point I'm trying to make is that earthquakes > 5.0 are trivial things and it's madness to abandon cheap energy just because you might cause a tiny earthquake. Focus on groundwater contamination from fracking or something, there may be a valid point there.
About the only thing the company has done right is the Xbox and I don't think that makes them any money.
You forgot mice. Microsoft still makes a very good mouse, I am using one now and it's my favorite. In fact everyone at the office here likes Microsoft mice better than Lenovo mice. And the rumor is, their Mice division is quite profitable, unlike the Xbox division.
So what Microsoft should do is fire Ballmer and install the guy in charge of Microsoft Mouse as the new CEO.
The data are stored in a five-dimensional matrix - the size and directional orientation becomes dimensions four and five, in addition to the usual X, Y and Z
So my cock travels in the 4th dimension when I watch pr0n?

Global warming is a lot like Jesus. True believers see them everywhere including things like toast, whereas normal people cannot.

you can fight for my rights anytime~~
Yeah, the native americans that white people met when they arrived in the 16th century.
We have no idea what the native americans did or didn't know 8000 years ago.
yeah, hope that never happens to Slashdot.

He's a 1 year old chihuahua btw
Spock dropped out of graduate school to join Starfleet and never completed his Ph.D. Therefore it is illogical to call him Dr.

yes, and in a few years when only the police has guns, don't be surprised when they trample all over your rights and do whatever they want.
so they operate on an honor system?
One would think they'd weigh the container themselves and charge accordingly. But then I'm not in the shipping business so I dunno...
I'm sure those profits were a direct result of Ballmer himself appearing on TV ads and pitching Windows.

PCWorld can just rename itself MobileWorld or CloudWorld or SocialWorld and it will be thriving again!
Treadstone is all but decommissioned at this point.
But Black Briar... really feel has good traction. It's got legs. It'll run and run.

Pave Low that I shot down last night. Do I get a killstreak reward if I were to swat it with a flyswatter?
