I call BS. It may take time but computer errors can be detected pretty damn easily by competent programmers.
If telephone companies advertised themselves as the "best way to plan a terrorist attack" it would be because somebody decided that that was the best marketing strategy. and if so, it would be legal.
When dealing with a massive corporation shoveling buckets of money into the hands of the senators, the "won't somebody think of the children" argument is remarkably hard to hear.
Okay I hate to be the douchebag you're baiting for, but that map clearly shows that innocent people are raided at a very common rate, and that the SWAT teams in question are actually doing an EXTREMELY good job at determining whether there's a serious threat right off the bat, and responding quickly.
I expected a shitload more pins in the DFW area, especially with the amount of corruption in our police force, and a heck of a lot more innocents raided. And I was sorely disappointed to know that the police are apparently doing a pretty good job.
And if you take a look at New York, you see an extreme amount of innocents raided, and no deaths. Are you seriously trying to use this map to try and convince us that SWAT teams are deadly to innocents? It looks like the opposite to me.
Hell, this "Prank" probably did more good than harm. Kudos to the cracker who kept the police force on their toes without leading to the death of an innocent. If our SWAT teams can't be assured of the legitimacy of the report, they shouldn't be listening to them without verifying first.
New laptops come with Linux. You just have to manually start the install. The Vista on there is just so you can configure the fingerprint scanner prior to the real OS being installed.

It was a "Nazi Death Rape Machine." Get it right.
your black hole theory sucks.
Just in case he's wrong, I'll say you're in front of your nintendo DS, posting from there. like I can.

There are quite a few things that the US is (supposed to be) able to do that businesses are not (supposed to be) able to do.

+1, WHOOSH!
The cake is a LIE.
Lieutenant Colonel North, please stop trolling Slashdot.
If that were the reason, the douchebags would have made ALL their (other) music free so that more people would hear the other songs.
I'll ask my dentist. She's Korean.
As wonderful as you make it sound, the real reason is that the WTO guys are pissed about not being able to gamble in second life. :)
The average age of video gamers is over thirty and has been that way for a while.
You ARE the major demographic, you just haven't had any reason to point it out to the people in charge yet, because you're having too much fun.
Unfortunately, in order to accept the award, he would have to have gone up a flight of stairs.
sure, it's eye candy.
What else is there to improve?

Oh god. They're turning the internet into a big truck.
640 PB should be enough for anybody.
You're posting on slashdot. You're a geek. You wouldn't be driving off with it. They'd likely catch you in the thing as you're mid-climax.
Yeah but you had to walk to the store, and that means risking your LIFE to a TERRORIST.
You could have DIED, man! DRM's quite preferable to that.
Well fuck that.
Microsoft: It can only be attributable... to human error.
Yes, but how much would it cost to bribe them to pass a bill allowing that?
