I think the point of a public debate is to... wait for it!.... debate in public.
This way you get the debate, and the presence of an audience means that whatever you say has witnesses and becomes public knowledge, limiting the ability of either side to spin things their way afterward. The public is there pretty much to keep the participants honest.
TFA: The reason I can watch all that hot on-demand stuff is because Comcast doesn't encrypt it.
That rattling/bleeping/crying sound you hear is every sysop at Comcast getting an email informing them they won't be going home as early as they thought tonight.
This is your boss. The network guys tell me you've just used the Company's network to write "hey wanna fuck tonight?" on a public website. You're fired.
While the site says only Gmail is supported, could this be made to work with other web apps? It'd be neat to have something like this for webmail on my own domains, forum-based messages, and so on.
IIRC Shalka was meant to be, first and foremost, a 40th Anniversary celebration type of thing. There was the distant possibility of it maybe going to series, but by the time that even reached the discussion phase the 2005 series came about and it was a moot point.
Nah, don't worry it'll be back. I've lost count of how many times that shows been pulled, revived and then cancelled again.
Three. Once when it was given an extended "hiatus" during the Colin Baker/"Trial of a Time Lord" era, once when the classic series ended with Sylvester McCoy in 1989, and once when the 1996 TV Movie starring Paul McGann failed to get picked up for a series.
[I]f an attacker were to hijack a public Wi-Fi hot spot at a coffeehouse or bookstore -- a fairly trivial attack given the myriad free, point-and-click hacking tools available today -- he could also intercept this update process and replace a Firefox add-on with a malicious one.
This is why you shouldn't be performing anything as heavy as software updates over networks you don't totally trust, least of all the lash-ups in your average coffeehouse.
that I am in no way shape or form associated with Robert Soloway.
For that matter, I've never seen the television show called Firefly.
Is this the stiffest penalty a spammer has ever received?
He hasn't received anything yet, wait until he is actually sentenced to start comparing penalties. Additionally, as others have pointed out the sentence is for a whole host of other crimes apart from just spamming.
They could make a movie out of the customized Sims I once had going, where blocky, unconvincing replicas of the original Starship Enterprise crew stood around alternately talking, arguing, and/or kissing while nothing else of note happens.
...wait, that was already done as "Star Trek: The Motion Picture." Never mind.

If nothing else, I think Xenu can claim prior art on this one.
Looking at that thing I don't know whether to be rescued by it, bring it along on a metaphorical journey of self-discovery with a minor oedipus complex, or buy fabric softener from it.
First Howard leaves Nester, and now this...

What does... God... need... with a particle?
He'll always be Ned Grossberg to me. Now g-g-get off my lawn!
Wizards' patent was filed in October 2003, not 2002. When exactly did Selinker leave Wizards?

For some reason the signs banning camera use on the GWB were unusually blurry that day.

Though I won't go see it, I look forward to the dance remixes.
