If we start accepting news that is for the various sub-nerds then who knows what we will end up with. Slashdot is only for PURE nerds. Do you really want law nerds dating your daughters?
I don't think video is the proper medium for that kind of content. Candid information from an engineer on an interesting project can be interesting, but slashdot already has a mechanism for relating that kind of information. I understand that there are monetary reasons for pushing video on slashdot, but you would be better served with videos of the interior of data centers or production facilities than you would be with someone talking at a camera.
I suspect that the parking garage is where the card numbers were compromised. Someone likely dismantled the credit card reader when noone was around and added a simple device that tapped into the current MSRs signal line and logged everything to an sd card. They could even give it a bluetooth or wifi interface if they wanted to be fancy about it.
I tried grabbing go and compiled a hello world to compare it to C:

This is obviously not a very scientific comparison, but the takeaways are that the go executable was 1.3M compared to the C executables 6.6K and the go compile took over 2 seconds whereas the C compile took less than 0.05 seconds.
We would suddenly have an anonymous currency that can be kept on credit chips (or smartphones) and traded, just like paper money. No longer would handling money require expensive cash registers, safes, and secure collections; your smartphone could be your point of sale.
Anonymous currency stored on a perpetually networked device with a long list of known escalation exploits? What could possibly go wrong?
Unless we develop a source of energy that has all the convienances of fossil fuels and costs less we should operate under the assumption that all fossil fuels will be burned eventually. It doesn't matter how many political drawbacks you attach to fossil fuels. If burning oil is the cheapest option then someone, somewhere will continue to do so. Any resources we tie up in trying to slow down the consumption of fossil fuels will ultimately have been wasted.
We have two options when it comes to dealing with climate change. We can invest in developing a carbon neutral fuel source that costs less than fossil fuels without subsidies, or we can invest in adapting to a change that we cannot stop. Everything else is pointless politics that can only hurt us in the long run.
Your hypothetical situation would be more apt if the two options to vote for were anti-matter and a Dodge pickup truck. Dodge pays for a media blitz and greases a few political palms. Finally the public at large throws their hopes for continued existence into the back of a pickup.
No judge will side with the trolls when the victim is as high-profile as a presidential candidate. This will just give them an excuse to say "See, the system works!" Meanwhile countless little guys who can't afford legislation will be swept under the carpet.
Correct. You aren't going to find a language with a create_innovative_new_3d_interface() function. What the submitter is trying to accomplish is non-trivial and will require a great deal of work.
If you need 3d and you are building your interface from scratch then you are probably going to want to use OpenGL in whatever language you are most comfortable with. Trying to bend an existing GUI toolkit into something it isn't designed to be will probably be more trouble than it is worth.
Unless $200,000 is what it cost to fix the vulnerability that was already there. Would you sue your neighbor for the price of a new radiator if he pointed out yours was leaking?
If what that quote says is true and you could derive the secret key from the public key then one could say that the key is worse than no security at all. Public keys are, by definition, public. They are generally available to the public at large on keyservers like http://pgp.mit.edu./ You wouldn't need to intercept any messages because you could use the public key to encrypt any number of examples. The false sense of security presented by encrypting something with one of these flawed keys would make them very dangerous indeed.

At last, a way to profit from the disdain of the fairer sex. A little baby powder on each cheek and a night in the bar should set me up for life.

Except it isn't really a new payment model. Paying a monthly fee to play on someone else's server has been around since the first pay to play MUDs.

It sounds like plausible deniability to me. "I didn't DDOS that bank, it must have been that crazy Zeus trojan I got somehow!"
Pedantic Penguin was the obvious choice. I don't know what they were thinking.

No, Sam is the one we send back in time. Al just appears to him as a hologram with information from the future.

Install a terminal emulator and a copy of busybox and you can have a bash scripting environment on android.

Sadly, in this context risky is probably as appropriate as risque.
Does the headline indicate that Windows will be released for a new architecture or is it a description of Microsoft's new pricing policy?
