"Ties to fascism" could just as easily be spun as "ties to those who were fighting the Colonial oppressors of Egypt." Have you ever heard of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend?" You don't have to agree with each other, you just both have to hate someone else more.
Well, now that the MSM is leveraging "web 2.0" so heavily, the only thing left for Slashdot to do in order to differentiate itself is to let the MSM scrape the web 2.0 stuff for them, then scrape that. This is web 3.0. Welcome to the future!
I'm not a Limey. My family has been in the US since the 1600s on both sides. But yeah, it does sort of suck over there these days from what I've heard. When I was visiting it didn't seem as loony as the Internet would have you believe, though.
I think last year it was CentOS that got hit, not Fedora. Also, the nature of the attack was different and I believe some packages were compromised, or at least the repo signing keys.
Vatican City is an independent country. He is its Head of State by virtue of being elected Pope. So, he is an elected politician and a head of state. just because you disagree with the basic premise of his State and his authority doesn't make it go away, so deal with it. I'm not Catholic, I don't give a crap what he has to say either, but I'm not bitter that he's saying it. Its not like anyone who can affect my life actual listens to him, like Pat Robertson and his so-called "Christian Coalition" bullshit.

So, Google, a company that makes its money selling ad space, is distributing software to help block advertising? That seems either incredibly counter-intuitive, or incredibly cynical ("no one will use it except people who know how to do it anyway, so why not get some good press"). It'll be interesting to see which it really is, but I'm going to have to lean towards cynical on this one for the time being (call me cynical...).
1) Choppers are loud. You can hear them coming and its not a secret when they're there. 2) Choppers have live people in them. The police are in there and if they see you, they really saw you. It's not streaming from a camera to a location which has the capacity to record everything and be reviewed over and over again, at will. 3) Drones are just creepy. Even the word creeps me out.
With all the bad press from stupid shit that Schmidt has said in recent years, this isn't exactly an unforeseen turn of events. If Larry Page has been thumbing his nose at the world at large with his blatantly anti-privacy statements, he's been much more quiet about it, as I haven't heard anything to make me automatically suspicious of him.
I'd rather them wait to make 4.0 stable than release crap and hope to have it done by 4.1. I mean, c'mon, who do they think they are? KDE? But seriously, I was using the FF4 beta for a while and it was pretty slick, and faster than the last stable release. However, it had lots of issues, such as the flash plugin container freezing or crashing constantly. The new features in FF4 did warm me up to trying Chrome though, and I may have become converted despite being late to the party on that one.
What happens if you buy a refrigerator specifically for keeping food cold, but I sneak in and put 400lbs of rotting meat and vegetables inside of it? Then, when you open it, the overwhelming stench causes you to throw up, then your wife slips on the puke puddle and breaks her leg? Yeah, I could see how GE might be responsible for making the fridge. Call it an attractive nuisance, I guess.
First, I'm pretty sure the garbage collection is defective on it, since the longer i let it run, the less responsive it would get. I didn't even really run any third-party apps on it other than google maps and a twitter client. This is probably why, even though Objective-C 2.0 supports garbage collection via reference counting, it only does so on the Mac and not on the mobile stack for i(Phone|Pod|Pad).
The touch screen was not particularly accurate and typing was a bitch.
The phone is not phone shaped, and thus difficult to talk on and hear people on at the same time.
These are just off the top of my head. There were others, but I've been spending the last year trying to block the experience from my memory.
There are so many parents who believed (the media interpretation of) the first study that they kept their kids from getting vaccinated. As a result, it has been more common to see childhood illnesses which had been virtual eradicated with the help of vaccination, particularly measles, as well as some other more dangerous diseases. Lives have been put at risk because this guy gambled (correctly) that new parents are easy to freak out and take advantage of. Now there is the daunting task of convincing those same parents, who aren't going to want to admit they were basically taken in a huge scam and put their kids at risk because they were dumb, which means a large number of people are going to convince themselves the retraction is a scam/conspiracy/etc and that the original study was right.
Is there a degree of felony high enough to cover this?
then block vpn traffic, too. in fact, encryption should be banned, including SSL, except for banks and online merchants, as we wouldn't want the ECONOMY to suffer, now would we?;-)
There was no charge to use the GPS with Google Maps on Black Berry, even though it undercut the $5/mo or whatever they charge for the VZ Navigator. Of course, the Storm was the worst, pos phone ever made and i got rid of it a year ago for a 'dumb' phone. I may investigate this iPhone situation though.
What good is a brand if your company doesn't make enough in earnings to meet expectations? Just because people know how you are doesn't mean they're buying your shit.
I saw a video of a talk Ballmer had given about a year ago, that was linked on Slashdot. One of the things he said in there was that he and people of his generation are a lot more reluctant to give their personal information out on line, but that his son has no issue putting whatever out on facebook or twitter. The problem is, Zuckerberg is of Ballmer's son's generation (so am I, although I don't fit the mould) and has no problem asking for people's personal information.
I think one of the reasons that MS always seems "late to the party" with this sort of thing is that they just don't think that way -- they come from an age where products are things, and it was revolutionary that bits of magnetic material would be considered a product. So yeah, Ballmer or Ellison, while they may be pretty ruthless and cut throat as businessmen are at least old school enough that the current trend doesn't really seem like a great idea to them as much.
That's my interpretation of it, though. Your mileage may vary.
Perhaps (s)he believes that the Bible provides a good moral framework and appreciates that, while at the same time understanding that its literature and as such uses metaphors in an attempt to make points accessible to as wide a number of people as possible. If the GP is here, then likely they're smart enough not to take literature literally, but just accept it for what it is.
Not since Congress won't approve anything good and keeps forcing them to work on bullshit they already cancelled until the money runs out, since apparently that makes good economic sense or something. Besides, NASA probably has one of the highest concentrations of nerds anywhere in the world. They probably know a thing or two about SciFi (as opposed to SyFy).

Can't we just save the effort and convict 'Anonymous' in absentia? It'd be much more efficient.

There, fixed that for you
Well, if it has government-grade digital locks, then the keys will probably be on Wikileaks in a matter of weeks and that'll take care of that.

This book is more about forming an incident response team than actually DOING incident response or forensic analysis. Since most slashdotters are going to lean towards wanting to know how to do things, I'd recommend Incident Response & Computer Forensics by Kevin Mandia as Real Digital Forensics: Computer Security and Incident Response, both of which are quite good.
Yes, it is different:
1) Choppers are loud. You can hear them coming and its not a secret when they're there.
2) Choppers have live people in them. The police are in there and if they see you, they really saw you. It's not streaming from a camera to a location which has the capacity to record everything and be reviewed over and over again, at will.
3) Drones are just creepy. Even the word creeps me out.

You don't know that. Maybe Microsoft is just **WAY BETTER** at hiding and shuffling pedophiles around the world than the Catholic Church is?

No, because before h was operating on the "what I don't know can't hurt me" principle, which, as we all know, really works...
eh, hes probably just pissed off that app stores make it easier to not have to spend money on wikipedia donations and he doesn't like the competition.
