Many wiki articles cite the sources they use. Why not refer to the original instead of wiki? Often those sources will give you much more information than the wiki.
Sorry, I don't buy this one. Employers almost always have the upper hand in the negotiations. Government's job is to decide what is allowable and what is not.
Contracts that involve illegal activites are automatically non-enforcable? Why? The government has a public interest (real term escaping me) in seeing that illegal activities do not occur.
If the government deems non-compete to be economically detrimental, it CAN say that it is not enforcable. And many states have already said this. Most have some exceptions. However, I don't see Microsoft winning this one.
I do not know, nut he is my new hero. I checked IDs around his to see if he spammed a bunch before getting the right combination, but I see no evidence of this.
Yeah, you are right. Just a shame something so imaginative has to get flushed into the crapper. I would have thought geeks would appreciate stuff like this more.
This is more amusing than 99.9% (3*3*3*37/2*2*2*5*5*5) of all the trolls out there. I generally dislike trolls, but this guy is unique, and worth of at least a short-term boost in karma.
Not sure they keep their opinions to themselves, but I know what you mean. They are more interested in policing their own house, and educating friends, not picketing the Capitol building.
And yeah, no responsible parent is letting their 12 year old play this game. Not sure I'd play it myself as a full grown (physically ) adult. I don't understand the thrill in these type games.
Yeah, this is true. Have a cousin that went through such a process. But if they are going through that kind of review, they are going to know the arrest wasn't indicitive of anything bigger.
Agreed. I can see the Christian parents: "Gosh.... I thought Johnny was only killing police officers, stealing cars, and using foul language... I had no idea he was seeing boobies"
But any time, we can take a swipe at a group we don't like, hey, go for it.
So "boo hoo" these people were arrested and released, right? Now, every job they apply to, they will have to tell their employer-to-be they were arrested
No. They don't. Your potential employer only has the right to know if you have been convicted of a crime. And most states limit that to a period of years.
Because he is a geek. It is fun to hack things like this. It is more a mental puzzle type thing than practical. Of course, if I have to explain it, you ain't gonna get it.
Doing your own research is good. But what these articles fail to point out is sometimes "Medical Mistakes" are due to your doctor treating something very serious with a very affressive treatment. Imagine a disease that kills 8 out of 10 people within two years, but the treatment kills 3 out of 10 while extending the life of the other 10. Articles like this would lump those three into medical mistakes, but neglect to mention that five folks were spared.
This article also fails to mention that the reason some causes of death dropped in the list is BECAUSE of medical care's improvements.
Now, does this mean we don't try to improve medicine further to reduce the mistakes? Of course not. But articles like these seem to suggest that we don't visit our doctor. That is dangerous and irresponsible.

And, for some reason, you still come to Slashdot...

You need RSS, man.

Kinda funny that a dude with a unimaginative troll sig would be calling the gp a "moron". His trolling is the most unique I have seen on Slashdot yet.
Sure, it will get only in about a month, but I am sure getting a kick out of it!
You probably even missed the "FP FP" acronym!

Try again.
And i think you missed mine....... ;)
Newbie... it would be 1. ... h8xe1
And since the passwords are put in with Copy and Paste, there is no keylogger weakness.
I think it would be easier to monitor the clipboard than to log all keystrokes...
I have a rebuttal to your comment, but I can't go into it at present. (Sorry)
Second rule of Slashdot: Never leave yourself that open.
Crap... descriptive notation is a pain for ME to read. Give me algebraic any day ;)

Who cares? It is kinda cool someone even thought of this. Methinks you need to review the definition of "nerd".
How would you experiment? On yourself? Yup -- ingesting heavy metals is the way to health an wealth...
But tell you what... if you want me to experiment, I'll let you be my lab rat.

I take it you didn't do too well on the humor level.
I hope your job gets offshored to Russia. It ain't illegal after all.
