Some of my teachers do that too. I'm in a non-english speaking country, but I'm studying in english, so teachers have to translate their courses. Once I was having problems understanding something from a pdf from my teacher, so I thought I'd look up the subject on wikipedia. It was the exact same text.
I should have figured it out sooner since a lot of the words in the pdf were underlined (they were links from wikipedia)
I'm not sure how the DNS flaw works, but I just thought of something (feel free to mod me down if this is stupid)
If you were to target someone specifically that was using a router that supported auto-update, but it didn't update itself with a fix for the vulnerability yet, couldn't you possibly use the DNS flaw to fool it into getting the update from one of your servers?
Meaning, you could get the router to do pretty much anything you want, and a router can do a lot of bad stuff.
Agreed, I've actually tried to make a RSS reader for video podcasts using html5 and ran into this problem, and that's the solution I found. But we still need browser support for full screen videos.
another problem is that browsers don't currently support full screen with the video tag, which is the main reason I won't bu using this to watch youtube
Google lives on the web. Most of the things they do work in a browser. So the browser has to be good, so they wrote their own. If everybody has a faster browser, then their products work better. Also, did you notice that in the last year many browsers have started to improve they speed? why do you think that is?
There's no such thing as unlimited. There is a limit, they just don't tell you what it is. At some point, you'll get an email telling you you're using too much resources. Also, providers that have unlimited storage have conditions that you can't upload anything you want (uploading large files to share with people for example)
I'm paying $10 a month for a VPS and I'm getting 20GB of storage and 500GB bandwidth a month. I'm using maybe 2GB which is the OS, a few sites, and some pictures and movies of a trip, my girlfriend uploaded to send them to me. 20GB is more than enough, and I can upload anything I want.
I prefer knowing the limit that having it sneaking up on me.
What does it do anyway? As far as I can see, it changes to user agent to also contain the.NET version you've got installed....Why? And isn't the user agent string unnecesssarily long as it is?
According to the report, cell phones and digital music players have been used to transfer plans related to criminal activity, and therefore presumably could be grounds for suspicion. Podcasting is also suspicious.
Cars have been used to transport terrorists and guns. If you're driving a car, you might be a terrorist
Thank you! I'm all for linux being everywhere, I love hacking as much as the next slashdotter, but until it get's there I'm sticking with that works and has what I need. I'd love to use linux on the desktop and I tried to do it, but there are some things I can't use linux for. The same goes for phones. Until it gets more mature, I'm sticking with something I know will work.
the point I was trying to make is that it took them so long to finish the damn thing that the specs got outdated and companies with more resources managed to make a better one. Don't get me wrong I hate the way Apple does business and their products but the iPhone SDK is a step in the right direction on better hardware. As for Android, I think it's what openmoko should have been on the OS side. The only thing openmoko has that android doesn't have is open hardware.
The thing is...when I first heard about the OpenMoko project, I loved the idea, I thought it was great, I couldn't wait for it to be released.
But it took them so damn long, that by the time it get's released, you've got a better iPhone (not much better, but I'd still rather have it than the Freerunner), and you've got Android which should be out this year. Also the specs for OpenMoko which looked really good 2 years ago aren't so hot right now.
I for one am sticking with my Nokia E51 for know, and will probably get an Android phone when they're released.
Sorry, OpenMoko, you're just too late for the party.
Re:I prefer the iPod Touch over the eeePC

Hacking Asus EEE

· Score: 1
It kind of has a keyboard (better than most phones, but still no match for an actual keyboard) If you really want to compare the EEEPC and the touch, it kind of depends what you want from it. If you want something stylish and cool, get an iPod, but since this is/. you'd probably want something more hackable. I'm not talking about adding GPS and stuff like in TFA, but getting your own distro, and your own software easily on it seems more important to me.
As I understand it they're going for option 1: They went to the labels with the idea of ad supported free music. The labels said fine, if you put DRM on them. Because of the success of the iPod the only viable DRM to put on the music so that people will be willing to put up with it is FairPlay. Apple won't go along with it because of the reason you mentioned, this is their plan. Have a popular music player that only works with the DRM from their store.
i also use opera mini on my phone and it works great...only thing i hate about it is that the default search engine is now yahoo!....i never realized how crappy it was until now...
I guess everyone on Slashdot is a military commander who knows about the reasoning behind strategic positioning of aircraft carriers..

I've seen a report on this story last night, including an interview with the Minister of Culture and he said that as far as he's concerned he will refuse to puchase it.
Also I believe that the castle will go to the city of Brasov as that was the wish of the royal family.
I'm not to sure about all of this as I wasn't really paying attention to the TV.
when i was about 8 years old (probably even younger but i don't want to exaggerate), me and a friend of mine started to mess with things like batteries, lights, small electrical motors, and so on... we would open things like toy cars or tanks and play with what's inside...my dad had a lot of old telephone receivers (with working microphones and speakers) in the attic and other cool stuff. one time we used a motor from a toy car and something from the same car which looked a lot like a propellar and strapped them on to some other plastic toy that was hollow inside so it floated. the remote was a light switch with batteries taped to the bottom. we've tested it once and it kept going in circles...i know it doesn't sound like much but we did it when we were very young and these are the reasons I am now in my first year at a technical college studying electronics and telecommunications.
Slashdot Mirror
From I could tell, the string looks something like this: http://example.com/#@"onmouseover=">"
my guess is this is come bug related to how they handle hashtags/user profile links
I think they're regularly running a script that takes out the # from the link from old tweets

IANAL, and i'm not sure how relevant it is, but as I understand it, unlike the states, precedents aren't so important in the EU.
