As a sys admin I never thought locking users out or playing big brother was part of the job. It was more important to spend my time training end users how to efficiently and effectively use the systems while planning for recovery, fault tolerance, etc.
Some users are potential disasters waiting to happen, but with proper training they can become valuable assets. Think of it more like programming networks of people and systems.
You would have to be pretty dumb to not use science or technology to solve your problems today. Economists may solve many problems, but I doubt they will have much of an impact on Global Warming or finding new sources of energy.
And the only reason social security is necessary is because you forgot that old people can't work. Don't make me pay for your mistakes. Fix your system.
There are too many coincidences. If its even remotely possible to test if the universe is a simulation I think we should. Its bound to be easier than testing one of our multiverse hypotheses.
It would be most profound to verify either possibility, it would be just as profound as verifying the existence of God.
That's very similar to Iraq's constitution. The people have the right to enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of blah, blah, blah
They do not have the right to those freedoms inherently. They only have the right to enjoy them as they are provided by their government.
Here in the US we have a constitution that supersedes the government's ability to regulate these rights. Very different from anything I've seen elsewhere.
If I'm adding an undefined value to a defined value I want to get the result and flag a warning, not get a compile or run time error and halt execution. And personally, I think print (2).("3"); should print "11".
P.S. I won't ever forgive Nokia or Apple for this. Controversy may sell, but I won't be buying anything from them. They messed with the wrong standard.
I'm a huge FOSS buff, but that doesn't mean I have to blindly love everything pushed out the door as "freedom friendly".
Not competitive? Pray tell, how is WMV or RM competitive? The ONLY reason this is being EXCLUDED is because it is FOSS!!! All other reasons are pure bullshit and you know it.
If we agree to disagree then fork HTML. We need a new markup language for the web that is standardized, makes sense and is progressive. Commercial interests should not be allowed to participate in the development. Period.
I get the feeling that if people would actually sit down and look at the issue objectively then it would be obvious that Ogg/Theora being included in the HTML5 spec isn't that great of an idea.
Yeah? Well, I get the feeling we should fork every organization that stands in our way.
If their networks are so sensitive and secure why transmit ANYTHING over the air? This is just another way to use the illusion of security to adopt a police state. In the article they mention sending out armed guards to check on the intrusions, etc. See, they're already thinking in the right direction.
We can't have modern technology here in the US because of all the terrorists. We are just too insecure. They will use these bullet trains like bullets and shoot our cities in the head if we build them. Run for your lives, run for your money, but whatever you do don't let the terrorists have train shaped bullets.
I am impressed with Intel's 45nm Core 2 shink improvements, already, at 5-10% boost per clock. And this is just their first Penryns. Intel has really turned things around, AMD has some catching up to do.. 2008 will be interesting.
And you're A-okay with this? Why do we support doing business with these governments? Fascism is not something to be ignored. It will come back to bite us sooner than we think. Unfortunately we have to wait for the next 9/11 because nobody wants to talk about the last one. If you want to do something about THIS problem RIGHT NOW then demand a new criminal investigation into 9/11. And support ae911truth.org.
Manipulating information and perception will only increase distrust and dissent when you have an opposition like the FOSS or Truth movement analyzing your every move.
If SCO, Microsoft, and the US Government can't do it by now, what makes you think they could tomorrow? They have all the money in the world, yet they can't convince me with their propoganda. Why is that? Because they lack credibility. At this rate they will never have it.

I don't know about you, but I believe the law of conservation of momentum. The only way they will win their argument is to eliminate our freedom. But then the debate is over, and I don't think anyone wants that. I personally enjoy the debate.
People still pay money to watch other people play sports? I bet none of them has even heard of ae911truth.org. What happens when you allow society to distract you from what's important? Oh, nothing, don't worry about it, ignorance is bliss.
This is not entirely accurate. You are also required by the GPL to provide a notice to your customer instructing them how to obtain the source code, if you do not include the source code with your product. And the source code must be in the form that compiles into the same code used in the product.
This is where a lot of companies make mistakes. It even confuses Cisco and VMware, supposedly.
It is not being rectified fast enough. I can only find broadband through comcast in my area capped at 5Mb down and 1Mb up for $50/mo, if you get the $120/mo cable TV package deal. I would rather just get data for $50/mo, and maybe basic cable through some alternate provider, but this sucks.
I'm very interested in what wifi and 802.11s has to offer. Free wireless mesh networking might provide some much needed and interesting competition. If we could only settle for free content such as creative common's and start our own American Idol sort of thing it would honestly be a lot better than what THEY have in store for us "consumers". The network is a utility, like electricity and the phone.
How many households go without TV and basic cable? We still have to pay for electricity, TV, phone and internet service, why should we let them to get away with such piss poor quality? If they want to have their cake and eat it too then it should cost us $10 per month for basic data that includes VOIP, 9/11 service, basic TV channels, etc. Electricity can be separate. If they want deregulation we need serious competition.
You have 10% the chance of dying while driving as someone who smokes. Its like smoking a cigarette a day. I'd kick that habbit if I were you. *lights up*
I have a 25% chance of dying after 70 from smoking. If that's the case, I'll take my chances. Its like waiting to die from fascism, only better.
Now can I please drive without my seatbelt, mommy? I hate you.
That's right, even comments are Copyright (C) 2007 by their respective owners. So by copying a slashdot forum's text into your web browser's buffer and refusing to delete it immediately you are violating the copyright of hundreds or thousands of individuals who could all sue you for $300,000 for each violation. I sure hope they win.
TiVo will still end up being held responsible if any legal shit hits the fan regarding modified versions of the product being used in ways that they, or their stakeholders, did not intend.

More competition would be good, these display prices are insane.
What about WiFi Braille pads? Or network enabled cell phones optimized for working with web pages through audio?
I have no idea what would work best, but I bet new technologies might help fill in some gaps.

iPhone will take over? When is that going to happen?
OpenMoko will put all the pretenders to rest.

But China is a bit different, I don't know.
To get better resolution than the PC you will have to wait for the PS4 with Ultra High Turbo Definition 2160i.
