Slashdot's stories come from elsewhere on the web. Breaking news is reported on many sites around the web. This links to the original Dartmouth souce, as it should, rather than to the place it was first spotted by the submitter, which may well have been Science Daily.
Augmented breasts. "Augmented" clothing. A text box containing what a Google "I feel lucky" search finds on "Girl next Door". (foxmovies.com - booring...)
Humm. So I could define my own reality based on my very own preferences, eh? If it contains a filter for what I hear as well ("Get to work!" -> "Pleeeease...?") I'll never have to deal with that "reality" thing again!
Why is it that people act like AllofMP3.com is a legal service? It's not. It's barely treading the legal waters in Russia, and is definitely illegal outside of it. It's more of a matter of not having the resources to get it shutdown.
It's legal to host in Russia, legal to use in most western countries, and that is all it needs to be. "Having the resources" to shut it down means pressuring Russia to change its laws; specifically decoupling licensing fees for radio transmissions from Internet downloads. Illegal outside Russia? Not to use. Obviously the licensing fees paid by the provider would be different in another country. That's like saying US gas is illegal outside the US because the price is higher in other countries.
If it can be run, it can be read. If it can be read, it can be decompiled. If it can be decompiled, it can be understood.
The core claim in the article is that an attacker with access to the code has no possibility of knowing if a given input will be flagged or not. I can see how someone with access only to the data storage could be prevented from knowing if the gigabyte of noise it stores just changed randomly or if his message was stored there in public key encrypted form. I can _not_ see how the applying of selection criteria can be hidden from someone with access to the code. The code _must_ make the decision on whether to save something or not.
In what cases is a four minute delay noticable if the picture and sound are delayed four minutes too? I'd love this for watching movies that are currently completely incomprehensible to me.
For the 80% part, it's good enough to get the gist of what is said. It won't compete with professional human translators, but it will make translation easily available for those who don't have access to a translator.
Since dark energy acts opposite to gravity, I'd assume more would mean brighter visible GRBs. Also, we have no good explanation for inflation. Could this be it? Speculating even further, if dark energy is weakening the universe might not expand forever.
You may have a point there. If they can show beyond reasonable doubt that they agree on the results beforehand, they actually could have copyright.
Obviously, since satire is fair use, the workarounds for that may be interesting;)
"As you may or may not know, Barry Bonds holds the record for most home runs in a season, at 73. And drugged to the eyballs no less. Since licensing costs for the footage are no less high, here's a reenactment by our very own janitor Barry."
From TFA: "Similarly, the right of consumers to tape songs off the radio has generally been held to be fair use."
Yet, "XM Satellite Radio pulled a PC-based radio receiver from the market last year over music-copying concerns, and the company says none of its devices can now be used to transfer and store content on a computer. XM says it is happy to continue talking to the record industry about its products."
I don't get this; how can the RIAA prevent companies from selling recording devices if these devices are fully legal? Are people getting so accustomed to the recording industry buying legislation that it's safest to do what the RIAA says, or the risk is too great that it will become illegal before you've made enough money to recoup your investment?
Since it's only people claiming to be from New Zealand or Australia who have to get these new, secure passports, why don't you just get a forged US passport?
I admit, it is a little unclear how a product can be a 'datacenter platform' and also a '.NET competitor', given that the two things hardly overlap at all.
As I see it, they are simply going to bundle existing stuff to porovide a standardized platform. Sun hardware running Solaris, with Oracle databases and Oracle's Fusion app server running Java web apps.
.NET is likely mentioned as the competitor to Java. Oracle and Solaris are going to do their damndest to get big business to pick Java. Currently they don't mention any new products at all; all this is is a complete hardware / software package for heavy-duty web applications.
Lest we forget that Wine also proved vulnerable, and it was a clean-reimplementation of the specs!
This is a pretty good point. If executing the code requires a specially crafted file with the length set to one, how on earth could WIne have the same flaw? It's still possible the behavior was inserted as a back door, but unlikely it works the way TFA claims.

If there is a "magic volume" of space a given amount of dark matter occupies, would this inflate the early universe until the dark matter fits?
To be honest, I've never considered autism a touchy subject. Many geeks consider themselves as having social problems similar to autism.
So, apologies if you feel offended; I didn't think of the joke that way.

What's autism all about? Is it good or is it whack?
Hey, it's on topic this time.

It's not that 2005 was hotter than 1800, it's that 2005 was hotter than any of the 205 preceding years.
Ah, that makes sense. I was wondering why the average table had one row and one cell.

Never has that text been so inaproppriate. No, not only because my IP gives me "There is nothing remarkable about your IP address."
And apparently dedicated to trolling Slashdot. With the new and clever idea of submitting dupes. Twice. *twitch* Twice.
OMG that explains it!
"Funny, I don't remember posting that...?"
*pops another pill*
"Aaah, that's better. Look, a story about Google!"
And they could also go vertically!
It's around seven million mp3z, giving a rough estimate of $10^12 annual loss for the music industry.

This is the greatest combat that is actually forbidden by the majority of the human population.
I'm not sure what you're smoking, but I think it's forbidden by the majority of the human population too.
Presumably a Freudian slip. Pretty deep when you think of it.
