"A website with pure graphical content is a shitty website, and unusable by anyone with vision problems."
And when it comes to a product that no SANE person with vision problems would use, where's the issue of having a website selling said product and not making the website accessible to those that would realistically have zero need (and would in fact be at greater risk of further damage,) of the product?
Plain and simple, your black and white world has a ton of exceptions, and your thought path appears too narrow to be able to think of any.
'I like how everything is now "under-secured" as if you have any first hand knowledge of the nature of the attack at RSA or the security measures they had in place."
We don't need the knowledge you tool. If a man can make it, then a man can break it, and a man can fix it, it's that simple.
'The topic at hand was the accessibility of web sites. It does not matter what business you are in, there is no excuse for not having an accessible web site."
Actually, there is, especially if the website in question is pure graphical content.
Per hour of operation. Yes, even the company selling me my '300w' panels is only half-powering them. This is apparently common practice because China is too incompetent to figure out a decent thermal solution to allow the diodes to be driven at full power, so they drive them at half power instead.
Yes, I know of many blind people that have jobs. My investor being one of them.
You are simply unaware of the inherent risks in my particular industry and blindness is a major one. When you work with high intensity photon emissions in a narrow range of wavelengths that can cause eye damage or aggravate existing eye damage, you simply don't put blind people smack into the middle of it. Yes, you give them a peripheral job such as handling documents and phone calls.
Also, again, we specifically advise people with eye problems to avoid using our products, and if they insist, to use eye protection. But the fact is, most blind people aren't growing plants, and our equipment is hazardous to those people.
"Most sane people would independently verify everything they have heard from salespeople before making any decisions."
Practically impossible in the sales related to my field. 99.9% of the salespeople are lying out their ass, and so are the companies providing them (and me) equipment.
Did you know that most companies selling LED lights actually advertise by their total wattage of LEDs instead of teh actual power consumed? I at least knew better, and I state explicitly in the Specs that my '300w' consumes only 150w per hour. Salesmen will say something along the lines of "Line quality causes the extra energy savings" when the reality is the drivers simply are not capable of outputting such power.
I will guarantee you most people are simply not capable of verifying whether or not the claims are true when it comes to my section of geekdom. They've been mislead by so many different forums and/or simply not had the education to know how to begin to check and verify the claims.
"They hacked nintendo get steal valuable information. plain and simple."
Actually, no, because any competent hacker would already know if data worth stealing would exist on the system. Knowing how Nintendo works, they already know that there's no data. There never was, and as long as Nintendo keeps the system the same, there never will be.
EXACTLY! This is why the SD slot was put there! I can't believe people haven't thought about this. ESPECIALLY geeks on Slashdot. Hey guys, you know where the data is stored, you know it's on a removable medium, why don't you save, turn off, and REMOVE IT, then make a copy of the SD card and then stick the thing back in? Your laptop is your Wii backup (assuming it has an SD card reader, which most do.)
"You are an institution or you do commerce on the Web? You can no longer discriminate against the sight impaired ever again."
That's not fair, especially in my line of work, where blind people would pretty much have ZERO use for my lighting products, and in fact they could make their blindness WORSE.
Way to unintentionally hurt people without thinking, and you managed to do it on BOTH SIDES AT ONCE. Bravo!
Yea, that's me, overseas in my UK office, ensuring my database modifications didn't compromise my website.
Come back when you actually get to my 15+ years of experience, okay? You're still behind me and it's apparent with your attitude and mindset you're going to stay behind me.
"Other powers are reserved to the states, or to the people"
If you fail to see the Constitutional aspect of what I've said then I think you need to go back to school, perhaps Junior High civic class refreshers might help out, as well as a few lessons in inference/critical thinking. No offense but apparently you simply weren't paying attention that day.
"Don't at like this haiti situation is America's fault- Where do you think the billions USA has given to haiti has gone? to the bank accounts of the corrupt politicians, including the Haitian president."
Apparently you forgot the Haitian president we spirited away back in 2006. oh yea that didn't get any media coverage.
IT *IS* America's fault, nimrod. The current person in power was PUT THERE BY US.
Slashdot Mirror
Yep, as soon as Prop 8 dies or we move to a better state. Thank you.
"At 1080p this is a LOT of pixels to push"
Nope, because you're still only displaying a 1080p stream overall. Different Camera views is trivial.

Fast enough for you?
I'd start a campaign to stone those fuckers to death if I were a parent with a child that was spied upon.
Especially if pictures of myself were taken without my explicit permission. Damn the courts, that's an invasion and I will repel it with lethal force.
I love text to speech.
That was meant to say 1080p, I'll bet you a new WiiU!
Rob was almost entirely made for the games Gyromite and Stack-up.
Seeing as the Wii was really just an overclocked gamecube, I would be willing to bet it would play them.
"Yeah, it looks like what the Sega Game Gear would have looked like if it had been designed by Apple"
To quote my fiance: "That looks like a Game Gear raped a Kindle and this is the bastard child, but without all the buttons."
Apparently they didn't teach you Rhyme Scheme.

Whoops. Didn't think about that, did you?
That Wiki means "What I Know Is..."
And what most people know is BULLSHIT.

"A good sales person wouldn't risk loosing credibility by withholding critical information or lying."
Oh this is bullshit. Experience: My passport holding stamps from UK, China, etc, as I deal with semiconductor manufacturing companies.
Please, these fuckers try to pull fast ones on me DAILY.
I was going to say *points at sig* Considering I do almost every last bit of it myself.

"come back when you have spent ~10 years in forefront of php development trenches"
See my website? Everything database-related on that site is much easier to modify, or update, than your piece of garbage.
Come back when You actually have a clue about my 15+ years of experience getting the big shit done for multi-naional companies.
Yea, that's me, overseas in my UK office, ensuring my database modifications didn't compromise my website.
