Google makes assloads of money off of web advertising and uses it to strongarm their way into other markets, usually by either taking advantage of their dominance of the search market or by simply hemmorhaging piles of money into the project.
Really? I thought that Google's "strong-arming" was due to 20% time, not "hemmorhaging piles of money". Furthermore, (at least at the moment) Google appears to be doing more to promote competition than deter it. (Look at iCal/Jabber/POP support for calendar/talk/gmail, webAPIs for maps, search, etc).
While this behavior is subject to change, the only way I see that happening is over the employee's dead bodies.
There are three basic components to controlling masses of people. These are religion, Television/Media, placation, and education. Four. Four basic components to controlling masses of people. religion, television/media, placation, and education...
Walmart is stealing the smiley face. They are either stealing from the public domain, or from someone with a prior claim but make no mistake they are coopting it for themsleves.
Come now. Walmart is not stealing anything from anyone. At best, they are merely infringing copyright/trademark/whatever law!
Right; and tobacco doesn't cause lung cancer, people who were going to get lung cancer anyway are probably drawn to/self-medicating with tobacco. When people get hallucinations long after taking LSD ('flashbacks') that's not the LSD, people who get random hallucinations are drawn to/self-medicating with LSD.
Except those effects have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt. In marijuana's case, the reports are inconclusive at best. Instead of lambasting the GP, you should provide references to otherresources, and encourage readers to develop their own opinion. Granted: this may be too much to ask for on Slashdot, and the GP committed a similar faux pas.
If you want to smoke it then fine, but please don't spread rubbish like this for kids to read and get the impression that it's harmless.
Discussion of this topic (as any other) should not be impinged, regardless of whose kids you feel obligated to protect. With that said, I agree that those lacking mental maturity should not use psychoactive drugs.
No, because everyone has a certain affinity for the force. Obviously what occurs is person A's affinity cancels out Vader's ability to act on them directly. Only by harnessing the vast and extreme power of the Dark Side is he able to strangle them from a distance, and that's still only from maybe 10 feet.
Yes, I know that. I wasn't trying to say that DH was more secure or anything of the sort. I was apptempting to illustrate that the initial exchange of data (Whether it is the OTP, a PGP key, or whatever) is always a problem.
Still, you'd be limited to doing another secure hand-off if you want to ever 'change your password', in effect.
When you think about the problem a little deeper... You realize that it is not the spoon that bends but yourself--er, no.
You realize that the initial key exchange is always a problem. (You can use Diffie-Hellman or a similar mechanism to exchange keys securely, but you still can't be sure that you are communicating with the right person).
What the hell does that even mean? If I understand correctly, "bio-" means "animals", and "piracy" means "stealing".
So Google is stealing animals.
That is not sensationalist enough. Let's try again:
What the hell does that even mean? If I understand correctly, "bio-" means "animals". Puppies are animals. Committing piracy makes you a pirate. Pirates make things walk the plank... making... puppies... walk the plank...
So Google is killing puppies.
Think of the poor defenseless puppies!!! That's the last straw. Google must be stopped.
As to programmers being blue collar workers, I think you would find most people would not define sitting at a desk in an office writing code as a blue collar position. You usually have to at least be performing manual labor to earn that title. (emphasis added)
At my last internship, not only did I get the job with a blue collar (long sleved, incl. tie) shirt, but I was hired as a documenter... Manual labor! Get it? I was working on a manual?? I crack myself up.
From the beginning of history, the two antagonists have stood face to face: the creator and the second-hander. When the first creator invented the wheel, the first second-hander responded. He invented altruism.
At least the first second-hander was still being original--before that, theft didn't exist. What we really should be careful of are those second second-handers.
What would be even cooler IMHO, is when we get engines realistic enough to create alternate physics mindsets... such as materials that react like they do in cartoons (ultra-malleable metals (besides anvils), portable holes, etc). It'd be even more fun to try out "historical" physics systems. Imagine how crazy a game could get with "Aristotlean" physics...

Australia is a continent, thank you!

He's not spamming. He's karma whoring. (or possibly both).
You're right. I, for one, also challenge slashdot to keep this theme up for a week. I'll even visit.

And just like *other* kinds of nipples, I love my TrackPoint as well. :)
Sounds like a flamefest. ;)
I can vouch for this response. It even features a typo!

In my experience, you also have to account for the wind in BF2.
