Just because he committed despicable acts doesn't justify others doing despicable acts as well. He should have been punished through the legal system, not through a criminal organization.
I don't understand why this is moderated funny, because a lot of it is true. I've visited China often, and it is the case that the pop culture sucks, and that you can say pretty much whatever you want in private. You can also buy pretty much anything on the streets. So why is this funny?
There was no vote here to reduce government's intrusion -- there was a public outcry and thousands of individuals who were prepared to just violate the law and become criminals. This is what I like to see.
YOU ARE THE LAST PERSON I AM SAYING THIS TO. DEMOCRACY != VOTING. Democracy = the ability for the people to decide their governmental actions. Thus this was an action of democracy, not the free market. Free marketeers really have very little to gain from preventing the censorship of a myspace or blogger website. In fact, they have nothing to gain, no incentive to try and repeal this. None.
Here is proof that voting is irrelevant -- you can change government by demanding that they stop what they are doing. Put yourself forward and refuse to accept their law and their regulations and their restrictions on your inherent rights that all humans are born with regardless of their citizenship. You have the right to speak freely using your body, your tools and your property. No law and no politician can change that.
I'm tempted to "speak freely" by luring you onto my "property", then attacking you with my "tools", and then kicking you with my "body". And you, by principle, should not try and stop me. Anarchy inherently ignores the neighborhood effect or the respect of others' rights.
Good going, Indians. I just returned from a business trip to India back in March, and I also noticed that most Indian entrepreneurs ignore the business regulations, tax requirements and licensing regulations, too. Here's a competitive country that we should be watching very carefully. They might be living in our mansions and driving our leased cars in a few years. I guess they deserve it, they're the ones loaning us the money to splurge.
There are two things wrong with this statement:
1. It's China and Japan lending us the money, not India
2. This once again assumes that the government does nothing and that anarcho-capitalism works. It doesn't. Look at Somalia as an example of an anarcho-capitalistic country.
Better than the free mods and add ons for the game? Is it worth the price?

Back to the Moon

· Score: 2, Insightful
It's because, as many have already said, going to the Moon serves as a sort of beta test for future manned missions to other planets (since it's so close, it's relatively safer) and as a way to possibly discover a new way to send people into space more safely. After all, the Shuttle program needs to get a replacement somehow.
For Google. Look at it this way: MSN has been the default web page for years on IE. Their search bar is RIGHT THERE.
But enough people still use Google to give them a near monopoly in the market. In fact, despite the fact that IE basically starts out by forcing you to MSN and that search bar, Google still beats them.
Since when is "too-costly" an excuse to do what is necessary? This is non-fiction. If you're not going to fact check, don't bother publishing it at all, because for all you know, that book about beavers might say "Beavers explosively attack people with their menacing teeth. They are the most deadly animals alive."
If you read the constitution, the federal government has NO authority within the State borders and it is unconstitutional to restrict travel.
Tell that to the 14th Amendment. It basically gives the Federal government the power to intervene if equal rights aren't extended to all citizens in a state.
Not really. It's more like CNET, except it calls itself a blog. In essence, as previous people have pointed out, these blogs, put together, are just a glorified online newspaper.
The comment's supposed to be sarcasm. It's basically mocking the fact that Entertainment Weekly translated "closure" into "this is the end, and I'd hate to continue" with Firefly.
What efficiency do we gain by having the government know where every VoIP phone is located? Only this, clueless individuals who have no idea where they are can call 911 and help will be on the way to their location.
Or maybe people who are too injured to tell the operator where they live or don't have the time.
What might we have to lose by having the government know where every VoIP phone is located? Only our liberty! If anyone should ever gain control of our government the tools would be in place for him to know about every communication, who participated and where they are.
Likewise, if anyone ever got the tools to become, say the majority share holder in Vonage, they could do pretty much the same thing.
" the sum of the angles of a triangle add up to 180...."
Euclid wasn't a scientist. This was an arbitrary definition made by him. Euclid could have simply said that Triangles added up to 40587309468093486093463409 degrees if he wanted to. 180 is just an easier number to work with.
" their mathematical geometries had NO parallel lines (lines meet at infinity)"
You fail to understand the concept of infinity. It is NOT a number, it is literally just a continuation. There is no place called infinity that can be reached at all, therefore the lines never meet.
"So many posts here are concluding that ID must be false because it hasn't been proved true--and that is, I think, calling the kettle black."
Wrong again. It's not that it hasn't been proven true, it's that it can't be proven true. Even if it was somehow scientifically possible, it's still not a theory since it can't predict anything.
Since when did left or right leaning play into anything about Microsoft? Do you think anyone really cares about that right now? More importantly, since when was the BBC left leaning?
But why produce only Cinematech? The last time I watched that show, all it was was online video clips posted into 30 minutes.
On second thought, this makes a lot of sense.
What were the actual results of them going face to face? I mean, it's great to talk about all of that free beer and arcade games, but I think at the very least people here on slashdot would like to know how Google vs. Exploiters turned out.
"No slashdot is not a blog. You just seem to be retarded like people who don't understand the difference between engineering and technology either."
I'm sorry, the last time I checked, people posting interesting news stories and or questions from other websites and then having others comment on them was the very epitome of blogging.
... other than the bloggers, themselves? I don't read blogs or post to blogs, so what impact will this have on me? Why should I care that blogs get spammed?
Um, it's not blogs getting spammed, it's blogs being used to spam links and bump other blogs up in ratings to increase pageviews. Besides, you're reading a blog right now, because that's what Slashdot is in a sense.
Portable gaming. I can see the Nintend DS in a unique position to become very popular through WiFi.
Two things work in its favor: the stylus (Which allows for at least a few RTS style games. Imagine versing your friend in a game of Pikmin on the DS)and the mic (Hey, you could talk to people real time through the DS).
If anything, this might spark a golden age of handheld innovation.

I know that nobody likes spammers, but why does that make this murder justified?

Today's featured article on wikipedia is ... you guessed it, the Bill of Rights. Hilarious.
I didn't see anything on the 2006 list that became a buzzword in 2006 - maybe they will in 2007, who knows.
I dunno, Ajax was on that list, and it became pretty big.

This finall happens after Google reaches over $400? Why wasn't this done earlier?
And what willl they do if (or when) Google's price drops down.

I can't imagine the web staff are qualified to do on site rescue work so can't be so busy that they can't produce something for the public.
Gee, did you think on clicking the link called "Press Room"?

Blogging is a personal "web log" of some person or some group. Slashdot is a news aggregator.
So Slashdot isn't the personal web log of CmdrTaco and his friends? And since when could a news aggregator not be a blog?
