This guy was a rogue and clearly not following Apple policy. Apple states explicitly in their policy manual that spying on customers in any way--through their webcam, microphone, user accounts, etc.--is strictly prohibited for all Apple employees except Steve Jobs.
I shudder at the thought of letting Slashdot actually run all the shitty scripting stuff they want to run.
Don't worry,/. scripting is like the weather. If you don't like it, just wait till tomorrow and they'll change it. Every day brings a brand new opportunity for them to screw it up in new and creative ways.
Why do I have a feeling that the Steve Jobs story is going to end with him and a large number of followers drinking arsenic-laced kool-aid in an effort to travel to the alien home planet of Klatlun?
Now I have an Eclipse window running on my computer at all times (literally), plugged into a remote SVN server on a remote dedicated server that I bought for that purpose alone, with Cygwin and (later) MinGW integrated and a remote Linux headless build on the dedicated server that "shows" its screen to a VNC client on my PC (which gives me Windows and Linux, 32- and 64-bit, GPU-accelerated (high GPU bandwidth) and unaccelerated (with low VNC "video bus" bandwidth), responsive and latent clients, at least three different versions of gcc to test-compile on etc. in one fell swoop) and several 10's of 1000's of lines of code that I've wrote from scratch.
Yeah well, until I can kill dragons in real life, I'll have to be content with videogames. And I'm also pretty sure I'll never get to join a REAL special ops unit.
May I remind you that the N64 and Gamecube didn't exactly set the world on fire (the former lagging way behind the Playstation 1, and the latter lagging behind both the PS2 and Xbox 1)? In fact, the Wii is the first time Nintendo has outsold the competition in the console market since the SNES.
I haven't gotten much use my well-stocked bomb shelter since Y2K. Sure, religious types keep predicting the end of the world, and guessing wrong every time. And bad predictions aren't going to justify the money I've put into this goddamn thing. Did you know that a generator's gaskets will dry-rot over time, even if you don't use it? Well guess what, they will--and that shit is expensive to fix too.
Man, if only we could have one nuclear war. Then the neighbors might finally stop laughing at me.
Shit, that monster is way bigger than a PSP. It's like the Hummer of videogame controllers. Finally, another way for me to compensate for my tiny penis!
Good lord, that's the first thing I thought too. I love the specs and games they've announced, but Jesus does that controller look like it would be a pain in the ass to hold for any length of time. I get carpal tunnel syndrome just looking at it. Damn thing is almost as big as an iPad (and a lot heavier I bet).
If you think the CIA and FBI don't have plants in most of the major hacking/computer-underground organizations I have one three words for you: Daniel Domscheit-Berg.

Besides, if you want good advice, everyone knows you go to Joel Hodgson. He was the one who figured out how to escape.
My PC is a Commodore 64, you insensitive clod!

Get with the times and come into the 21st century, grandpa. Steve Jobs is the new evil overlord.

poisoned with Valium, chloral hydrate, cyanide, and Phenergan.
Too messy. Steve likes to keep his products simple.
Unfortunately, they also introduced a plan to make pot bars illegal for tourists.
Incidentally, anybody not stockpiling food right now is going to either be hungry or poorer by next year.
On the upside, those of you looking for that little extra incentive to finally go on that diet you've been meaning to go on are in luck.
Yep, Lemmys are able to withstand decades of incredible amounts of abuse, and still keep going.

I heard that Beck never even bothered denying it.
I don't think you appreciate the vast amount of canned peaches I have at my disposal.

Your a grammar nazi.
I left the coffee pot on again, didn't I?

People in Italy speaking Latin?!? That doesn't make any sense at all.
You should have seen the Power Glove. It was so bad!
I saw one in a museum once.
Believe it or not, Nintendo is indeed capable of making mistakes. If you doubt it, I have two words for you: Virtual Boy.
