I said nothing about all e-mail being untraceable. I said that most e-mail is traceable. That is, it's ease to trace the absolute vast majority of e-mails that are out there. Sure, there are those which can't easily be traced, but they're certainly the majority.
Say what? I didn't think you could do that...I thought it was thousands of dollars to get the entire country! In fact, I'm sure that the fees were something like $10,000 if you wanted area codes for all the States. You could only get up to five for free, no matter what your organization was. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're not quite with it.
This sounds freakishly like the old Do Not Call list. As in, it's a really stupid idea. Why don't we create a list of all the e-mails of people who won't want to be e-mailed? 'Cause, you know, that's smart...no one will ever think of stealing the list and e-mailing all of the people...which would be a great irony, now that I think about it.
I remember how easy it was to get the DNC list from donotcall.gov for five different area codes, for free (if you lied a couple times about your tax information or something like that).
What's going to be in place for this to be stopped in this case?
Does wikipedia seriously need all that? I thought the data they were serving up was mostly just text and wasn't really a huge problem. As in, weren't their current servers enough? Or am I missing something?
Google? Google will have open source code? Is this a first, or am I just nuts? Has anyone else heard that THEY were to be developing open source code, too? I mean, yeah, it's obvious they want to tap into its power with the whole Summer of Code thing, but I didn't realize they were actually going to have code developed for themselves as well...
Yep. Sure did, but don't worry, that/. story has a couple more weeks to brew before it can really be posted. You know, the Summer of George broke down pretty quickly, so how long can the Summer of Code last?
You could just be careful with your money and not buy stuff that you want to sell three weeks later. Really, honestly, it does save you money in the long run.
Okay, okay, fine. I figure this is actually a good thing. I mean, we're all communists here, right? So we want to have the small time guys get just as much of a chance as the larger corporations, right? right?
How are you so easily adept at figuring out exactly how much a product is worth? Have you actually bought Qt? So how do you know it's not worth $3800?
As well, there is no way that you can just flat out say that Opera's interface is cluttered. It's not. By default, yes, there's a lot of crap that shouldn't be there. But it's so amazingly customizable that it takes under 90 seconds to get rid of it all (including the stupid menu bar that every freaking application seems to want to have).
Actually, yes, you can. It's not the default (obviously, IE is) but it's an option an always has been. I believe it's labelled as Mozilla, but isn't that how Firefox IDs itself as well?
Eh? I think you have the wrong country here. It's talking about cities in the United States, not Japan...your examples are completely irrelevant!
And with an accuracy of 40 meters, how does it even know what street you're actually on? There are plenty of places where there are streets inside of 40m from each other.
If you're in a major city, you seriously don't need GPS or any positioning system. Look out the window of your car, ask someone, etc. GPS is needed and useful when you're NOT in the city, when you're out in the middle of nowhere or on a highway getting lost. Cities are the one place a positioning system is useless, so why develop it there?
No. Because, the future that exists was shaped by the event of you being there. For the future to exist as it is, you "already have" gone back in time. That is, there's no change that could occur, as it has already occured.
Now, to find my time travel machine so that in a few minutes I can go back and write this post.
woah, woah....nobody threatened to kill anyone here. the song was just telling a story. jeeze. telling the story of 9/11 does not mean you plan on repeating it using your own airplanes. no one was threatening anyone.
yes, because telling a story of how the president might die is certainly threatening to kill him. because, you know, talking about terrorist attacks certainly means I'm going to commit one.

"E-mail is mostly untraceable"
I believe it is you who is the moron.
Isn't it funny how "PC World" only reports on US stuff? Hehe..

More global?
In other news, Linux servers grew 0% in Burkina Faso this week.

What's with the .5TB? Is it not more standard to call it 512 GB, which, at least in my opinion, sounds far more impressive than .5 TB?
Eh? I didn't think they used databases at all, I thought they were actually doing the calculations all from scratch? Right? Did you RTFA?
with the What the Hack conference! I can now to a double geek europe conference trip...at the expense of my girlfriend, job, and family...

If only we could now get linux to work on wristwatches, we'd be in business. Wink.
Come on, even Slashdot is usually better at reporting news that's RECENT! I mean, how can you call something that formed 25 years ago _news_? Bah!

Say what?!
Determine your location in a building with an accuracy of somewhere inside 40 meters. Oh yeah, that's useful. Which floor again? Which room? Eh?

No sane history teacher would force his/her students to watch people post to /.

yes, actually. many people have been thrown in jail for being pro-communism in the few decades.
