Commenters can opt to have their comment posted as an update, along with a link to the original story, which spreads the story link inside Facebook’s walls.
By linking original articles back to FB the site using FB's comment system will certainly see an increase in their Google rankings in pretty short order. Unfortuneatly this will make it a pretty serious consideration for many.
You mean sort of a/. effect on the number of people the prosecution has to check into? We might still be able to do that to his blog but I doubt the video is still on YouTube. Of course, if we all posted links to 'Rick Rolls' & Goatse on his blog I'm pretty sure we could ruin someone's day.
Case in point, iCarly, a Disney show which features computers with a pear-minus-a-bite logo on the lids. Why didn't they just use an Apple?
Because Apple didn't pay them to do so. Maybe because Apple didn't think iCarly's audience was a good target demographic for their products, or maybe iCarly was asking too much for the number of viewers (or sale conversions) expected from the product placement. Having the art department create a few 'Pear' stickers is cheaper than having them create a few fake computers.
I'm a senior developer at one of the world's biggest software companies. The only reason I didn't move to management is because I want to continue writing code. I dropped out of college in the middle of my second year.
how is this amazing. there are an infinite amount of things in the skies... I wouldn't be surprised to see a new Galaxy that had an outline shaped like a Penis
I think they've already found one in the Porn Cluster... I think it's called the Sheen Galaxy.
That's all well and good for you, but how do those noobs acquire any experience if everybody in the industry follows your logic? And that's hardly an idle question: at least in my area, you'd probably have a better chance of getting hired with a felony conviction on your record than having no experience because you just graduated.
You are absolutely right. When I was starting out (30 years ago) I went to a small programming & accounting school in a strip mall. It had a PDP 11 and a few of these new fangled 'PCs'. We learned how to program in a handful of languages, manage green-screen real estate and do accounting. My first computer job had nothing to do with programming but fortunately I was considered 'knowledgable enough' about computers to be trained to do it.
Today's expectations are very different. Most employers don't want to invest (time or money) in their employees' abilities - they just want them to be able to do the job. With the transient nature of employees (at least before this recession) most employers don't want to spend their resources training someone for their next job. I prefer hiring smart, trainable younger talent because they are not set in their ways yet. I have nothing against aged & experienced talent, but let's face it, one stubborn inflexible dinosaur is usually more than enough.
Most IT hiring requires experience! Noobs are OK for some stuff but there's no way for any school to train them for what everyone in the real world is looking for ('cuz we all want something different).
I'm not sure if you're focusing that at one particular browser or just your disappointment with the whole add-on culture that helps browsers do what they should be able to do in the first place. Either way I can't see how you blame this on someone who's a doctor, milkman and delivers pizza. He's certainly doing his jobs (unlike, say, some browsers I know).
If it's only $12k - $18k for the system, well, that's a bargain. If it's $12k - $18k for using the service, well, I doubt my health insurance is going to cover it.
What? They'll change the pronunciation to 'noookes' and we'll never be able to get that voice out of our heads... not to mention they'll eventually name a hockey team after them.
First of all attacking the computers of an operating nucreal power plant is quite dangerous as it might cause a meltdown if they don't act fast enough, and if there is an explosion or fire then the radioactive debris can be swept by the wind and blow into the face of the israelis and neighboring countries.
The computers that Stuxnet affected were controlling centrifuges that were attempting to enrich uranium, not in an operating nuclear power plant. In fact I don't think this nuclear power plant has ever been 'operational'.
Buying time is important. If enough time passes that some form of 'peace' can be established in the Middle East then Iran (and others) may not want/need to pursue nuclear weapons. If that never happens then buying time means using up Iran's limited resources which slows the process even more. Believe it or not there are already enough nuclear weapons in the world... and so far only once country has used them on one occasion. I doubt we'll be able to make that same claim once everybody has them.
Personally, I would be more than happy of all of those assholes nuked each other.
Let them kill each other and let their God sort it out!
If/when that happens the price of oil will skyrocket and the world's economy will take a substantial enough hit that every other country will suffer drastically. War in that region of the world - especially a war that could leave the land radioactive for a long time - will make transporting food so expensive that many in the world will starve or steal (and die trying as others protect their own). I'm not sure anyone would really be happy if/when that happens.
I think this is supposed to be news because the President who did it wasn't named 'Bush'. Though we generally expected more from Obama (eg, less of this stuff) we're all being reminded that whomever runs the show acts more like the one they replaced then we wanted/hoped.

I'd prefer he find honest work .. the alternative is he returns to his past.
Do we believe in rehabilitation or vengeance?
I'd like to vote for 'vengeance', please.
The correct name is Yuggoth, not some Disney character name. (Dog or God, take your pick.)
Which one is Disney?
If it stops companies tracking your location, sure.
It will only stop some companies from tracking you ... this troll's company will track you or one of the companies he licenses his patent to.

I love House, but seeing every computer in the World as a Mac just turns my stomach a little. Well, a lot.
How else is Steve Jobs going to get a consult with Dr House if he doesn't keep giving him free stuff?

That there's a duplicate Earth on the exact opposite side of the Sun!
OK, just for the fun of it: what would be the most efficient method to check this hypothesis?
Um, ask someone on /. ? (but not the guy who keeps posting 'First Planet!')
North Planet is the best Planet!

With a flick of his magical cane he can diagnose anything.
I think i'll wait until theres a app for my iphone for $2.99
The first thing that app will tell you is "I don't care what the symptoms are, it's not Lupus."
All that for only 12 to 18 thousand dollars.

I think we should give them all to Canada.

How, exactly, is this news?
I think this is supposed to be news because the President who did it wasn't named 'Bush'. Though we generally expected more from Obama (eg, less of this stuff) we're all being reminded that whomever runs the show acts more like the one they replaced then we wanted/hoped.
So how is this different than HP inkjet cartridges with with chips that prevent refills?
When the ink cartridges stop working you can still hit them with a mallet.
Unfortunately it is. Ignorance is being portrayed as acceptable, cool and even fashionable.
Yeah - that Zoolander movie really set us back.
Now all they need to do is give it full access to the Windows Registry and we'll be right back to where we started.
I think it is more like the character George Clooney played in The Men Who Stare at Goats.
That movie was so much better than The Men Who Stare at Goatse. I really need to pay better attention when picking a theater.
