Please Slashdot, can you stop all these trolls from polluting the Slashdot space. In the past the comments by users were of an interesting nature related to the subject story, but now on 5% maybe is about the story as trolls post rubbish about Politics, Defamation, Racist and such other crap....yada yada
You see that sliding bar thing at the top of the screen? Yeah, that one...
Before Obamacare, the state private markets were based strictly on age.
So?
After Trumpcare they might be based on age and your online habits.
It's only far that your insurance company knows as much about you as possible, right? That way the rich people with easy jobs and healthy living conditions can pay less.
You've inadvertently illustrated one of the problems with the Model 3. How many different revisions of this thing are there and how much more difficult does that make them to repair? What differentiates Rev A, Rev B, etc? That's going to make long-term maintenance, repair and restoration a nightmare. That's why every other car manufacturer settles on a design and sticks with it for a full model year before releasing a new revision.
Does it matter? Order yours now and you can be sure it will be even better than the one that's already a "symphony of engineering".
This judge is betting that the defendant doesn't have the resources to take the case to those higher levels where Constitutional arguments are taken seriously.
I bet there's a whole bunch of lawyers out there who'd be willing to take this case just for the fame (and experience of going to higher courts, obviously).
They probably aren't completely sure you bought it or not.
Really?
In that case there's a LOT of money to be made by telling the advertisers what the person has purchased. That info might even be worth more than the spyware.
Or maybe you're wrong and advertisers really are that stupid.
I don't know how people can stand unfiltered youtube. Really,
It's like every video you watch has a 10 second advert at the start of it and/or popups in the middle. How can this possibly be popular? Beats me. (shrug)
It's not about storage space, in this case. It's about searching through 20,000 lines several times each time you load a page.
Complete rubbish.
Do you know how SLOW a real DNS lookup is? That 20,000 line text file is acting like a local cache. Given that almost every page out there will hit a couple of addresses in that file then it will speed things up, not slow them down.
PS: Your OS probably has a secondary DNS cache, because real DNS lookups are SLOW (did I mention that?).
Since the subject is a database, can't you guys organize a 'database download and cloning' party instead of name-calling on slashdot?
Luckily for us they gave a couple of months warning and put the web site source code and multi-terabyte SQL file on an FTP server so we could get ourselves organized and make sure we don't miss anything.
Oh, wait... my bad! They're just going to unplug the server a couple of days from now.

I'm sure there's an ambitious, fame-seeking lawyer out there that's salivating over the idea of taking this all the way to the supreme court.
Yep. It just means that from now on, anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.
Yep. The problem is that you may have stuff in there that you don't want a bunch of cops leering over and passing copies to their buddies on Whatsapp.
Any cellphone search should at least be conducted in the presence of a lawyer and no copies of data made without good reason.
If it was all as logical as you paint then the world wouldn't need "judges".
What are the chances of carrying two phones around and not knowing the passcodes?
Wouldn't this be akin to a warrant for searching your house?
You can't really say "I lost my house keys"
Sure you can, but the cops will just break your door.
The same goes for your safe (if you have one): "Forgot" the combination? Out comes the big angle grinder.
The problem is that encryption works - they can't get past it by using brute force.
Maybe they want to show you a better or cheaper item so that you'll send the other one back for a refund and buy theirs instead.
They probably aren't completely sure you bought it or not.

Nah, try saying it as Mr.T. It makes perfect sense.

Yep. Just block google analytics in your hosts (or wherever). Clear out your cookies, 90% of tracking will be gone.
Anybody who isn't doing this but still comes on here and complains about "privacy" is an idiot.
Development costs.
Plus you get to vanish into the ether with a lot of money when you get bored of running one.
With e-coins you don't even have to manufacture or ship anything.
Let us know if/when that works out for you.
The money changers never lose, a commission is a commission.
The only question for them is, "Will the commissions add up to the effort needed to support all those other coin types"?
ie. Are there enough idiots to go around?
Apparently: The answer is yes.
Which Universe do you live in? If I start Chrome with no tabs open I get 7 processes.
One of those processes is using 1.5Gb and has 38 threads.
That's without opening any web pages, just an empty tab. No, I don't have any extensions installed. None.
How much are the magnets and copper in one of those things worth?
There's also a lot of scrap metal to be had.
And I can't imagine many of them will be completely scrapped, to the point of removing the foundations as this non-article suggests.
Nope. This is just more fake news sponsored by the oil industry.
(expect to see all the deniers repeating it ad-nauseum starting about a week from now).
