still swallowing things like magnets? Seems odd to me. That being said, there are also fake tongue piercing which are rare earth magnets too. Real easy to swallow and they wreak havoc inside the body as well. So I guess even as your child ages you have to constantly keep forbidding stuff.
You are wrong. I don't know about McDonalds, but large-chain supermarkets mix meat from different continents as a matter of course. Since in the Western world we have a fat surplus, they import lean beef from Botswana and mix the two to produce mince. About 60% of your store bought mince comes from Botswana if you shop at large chains owned by Ahold (to name just one).
Okay, so I tried something new and went ahead and read TFA this time. Big mistake. For something supposedly about the icons on electronic you'd expect to see the icons with their meaning printed next to them, right? But not this article! It reads like an SEO meta tag, does nothing to explain what any of those icons mean, and is full of bullshit jargon. Save yourself the trouble and don't read it. As for the slashdot "editors": fuck you guys.
If I saw my CC or Account number in the URL bar...the first thing I would do is cancel my account and look for another service.
My previous bank does this... but it's not a bad thing. I can access multiple accounts from one place: checking accounts of various businesses I own. When changing account, the URL bar would reflect that. But when I entered account numbers which weren't mine, I got nothing. So the presence of the account number in the URL is not inherently bad.
They have posted news about this event on their home page:
Comcast did not help us fix The Pirate Bay. The problem was GBLX using reverse path filtering. We shut down one of our transits because it was flapping. The result was that all outgoing traffic to GBLX got filtered even though the packets took the same path as before. The Pirate Bay is using different paths for incoming and outgoing traffic to avoid beeing traced. We donâ(TM)t even know where their servers are. We resolved the issue by activating our other transit again.

It makes sense to offload e-mail delivery to a dedicated party. SMTP best practices, RBLs, proper headers, server capacity, bounce handling are essential to responsible e-mail campaigns.
Almost no business has the intimate knowledge required to operate such a thing in-house. The BEST thing to do it outsource it to a mailing list provider. And the best practice op top of that is to just copy name + email address to the third party, as they have done. And after the breach they have informed their customers proactively too.
What's funny is that most commenters here miss the point entirely. They're thinking of traditional settings, where you meet someone you've never met, then hand over cards. Of course you're gonna need real business cards.
What TFA is actually about is that traditional way of meeting someone new is beginning to be superseded by first meeting someone online. When you meet someone via Facebook, you are going to have all their contact info already so the point of exchanging a business card to get their telephone number is quite moot. You will already have all the contact info you need.
I suspect in the US/Europe the traditional business card will pretty soon be ritualized even further and be just something to fiddle with while you meet someone IRL. I had stickers made and they do that perfectly. It's been many years since I met someone IRL who I didn't first connect with via email. And if you're thinking in terms of trade shows and the like I have news for you: in ten years or so those will be pretty irrelevant too.
I don't agree. AWS specifically stated they were not ordered but acted out of their own free will. Now that might not be true, but that is what they stated.

You complain that IPv6 people are rude to you, but bring this little gem to the table:
Maybe I need to make time and learn more about it now; but life is busy and other things compete for my time.
The truth is you do need to make time and learn more about it now. Really, if you've grasped IPv4 you will grasp IPv6 too. Spend a couple evenings with an Oreilly book and you will be fine.
Also, bacteria are able over time to resist agents deployed to kill them.
which is true for some agents, but not those found in household cleaning products (i.e. triclosan). These work by destroying cell walls, which is something bacteria can develop/evolve no defense against. These agents therefore will be able to indiscriminately destroy bacteria, regardless of how smart they become.
The Xbox moderator obviously has never been to Asia nor has he ever shown any interest in Buddhist culture. Which is okay in itself (even if a little closed minded) but he really should refrain from making statements like that. The swastika is used all over Japan for instance where it denotes a temple. It's been used for thousands of years, and it is not associated with the Nazis when shown to someone from there. He holds a typical imperialist view and projects that onto his Xbox community. Which is to be expected, given that it mostly targets Westerners anyway. So all bad? No, but very close-minded. From a moderator you would expect a more mature/moderate approach.
Have you been using the same pseudonym since you first went online? If it's reasonably unique it only takes one slipup or one leak and it can be tied to your name. Bam they know all about your leet haxor skills with nothing you can really do. Personally, I use a different alias for every new website. Track that!
Finally we would like to have our web server in house.
Try to get this thought out of your mind. Place your web site with a reliable hosting company and free yourself of 99.999 percent uptime worries.
Other commenters have suggested you move everything to the cloud. This is a bad idea. But your web site? Should be a no brainer. Hosting it some place else is cheaper, more reliable and a whole lot faster.
Your tone speaks volumes. If "unremarkable bits of plastic" are what makes your nieces and nephews happy, stop being a douche and get them unremarkable bits of plastic. If you prefer not to engage in the social interaction called gift-giving, tell the parents just that and stop doing it. Really, parents know pretty well what makes their kids happy -- and a happy kid is a learning kid. No one will be any better off having received educational toys against their will.
That being said, Lego is bits of plastic and this is probably the best gift you can give. Provided of course they like playing with it in the first place. Three crates of the stuff carried over from my childhood and now my kids are playing with it every day. It's fun and educational and if you buy genuine Lego it's amazing high quality. But really, instead of posting anonymously on an internet forum, for the love of your family don't ask us but ask the parents!

They are using SPDY for the client to cloud connection, which is not only very fast but also https by design, you cannot have SPDY over plain http.
Let's hope it doesn't have unfirewalled telnet access like the 747. (See half way across that page)

Thank you for this information. Why is not everyone doing this all the time? Seems like a useful thing to request for negligible cost.
You mean this Twitter account?

Take a deep breath there, cowboy.

Srsly, they did everything 100% right.

Yes, people throwing stuff away, it's the end of the world!
I never use a real email address for forum signups. Mailinator is my friend.

You have heard of things like virtual machines, chroot jails and unix permissions?
This is going too far. If something happens to him, she will have blood on her hands.

Most of your post is very correct, save for this:
