What's the point if they're outright blocking file extensions like *.mdb (MS Access)?
I teach a Technology class and most of my students use Gmail. Basically, I've had to teach them to trick Gmail by changing the file extensions just to turn in a single homework assignment!
What's the point of outbound virus protection if Gmail isn't even giving Access databases a chance?
FINALLY they get it right! This is exactly what I did as soon as my Inspiron 9100 came -- wiped the HDD. At least they'll save a certain breed of desktop owners the trouble.
Google Print will, by default, include excerpts from copyrighted works if they can get their hands on it.
It's kind of sad that you really have to be in tune with the electronic world to know that fairly soon your books are getting copy & pasted into a public company's database. Hopefully Google's actually attempting to get the word out about this service to as many publishers as possible. A web page, blog entries, slashdottings, even a press release aren't good enough for the partly unwired publishers.
As a user, I like the fact that as much text as possible is searchable sans the books whose publishisers opt-out. But if I were a publisher, I'd rather have the option to opt-in to this public company's service than to automatically have my written products copied into a database without my permission.
Wal-Mart employees have leaked the price of Microsoft's next-generation console.
Now just how many Wal-Mart employee paychecks would it take to buy an XBox 360...?
My thought exactly. What a pathetic thing to do.
Thanks for wasting my time, timothy. Even though I already knew about the Wiflyer like most others Slashdotters, I continued to read the article in disbelief that this was actually on the front page of Slashdot.
Is this going to become a common practice -- blatant advertsement on the front page?
Aside from this annoying psuedo-article, I would've bought the WiFlyer a while back if it were 802.11g-compliant so it could better double as a faster broadband router.
Finally some saucy Slashdot news!
Hopefully Microsoft had him sign non-disclosure agreements on the bits and pieces of their search "trade secrets."
This should be quite a lovely little battle.
This signifies the beginning of the end for Windows.
They ditch two major features of the operating system and fuck us with this.
Very stupid idea during an infamous open-source era. This sDRM (Shitty Digital Rights Management) defies all laws of backwards compatibility and for the first time, I'm actually willing to boycott the OS.
'Goodbye, Windows. Hello, Linux.'
My informed customers will chant the same slogan.
About 7 years ago, I ripped all my CD's to MP3, amazed at how much precious HDD space I could save while accessing all my music via the same source! Now, here I am, in the hard disk gigacheap days, stuck with these lossy-format buggers while the new kids on the block rip to their slightly larger lossless formats.
You lucky, spoiled bastards.
This isn't a big deal at all. I just wasted 1.23 minutes of precious time!
Let me know July 7th if there are any NEW features for Google Toolbar worth mentioning.
Particularly, try the Price Comparison Shopping category (Shopping > Price Comparison Shopping). Use the "PV" (Power View) feature to power through the sites.

VirusTotal... it's free, web-based, and uses many different AV scanners: http://www.virustotal.com/
... at least for the most part. Encourage your viewers to download instead of stream, if at all possible.
There's another program called Festoon (previously titled vSkype), which intergrates into Skype decently. I've enjoyed the video

Nah, I like this outlet! GAWWWD I hate the term "Pod-cast"!
Honestly, though... it won't bother me describing this as AJAX.

Run around the world trying to stop a terrorist from carrying an attack. Expect a full-fledged investigation from the Patriot Act police soon.
I want one... bad... so very, very bad.
More importantly: How can we, as consumers, change this in America?
Well HERE's some links: general Price Comparison Shopping sites: ranked. Also, not meant to be an advertisement.

I can't wait until the download completes!!!!
I hereby propose a Consumer Petition Button next to every controversial and petitionable /. article.
E.g.
HD-DVD / Blu-Ray - For A Merging of Formats
Sony / Microsoft - For Easier Code Portability
AMD / Intel - For A Free-for-All Mudwrestling Challenge Between Engineers
Nerds, unite!
Awwww... poor investigators...
SUCK IT UP! We share your pain.

War-driving: Very Pringles Appropriate! (Those of you who shop at the grocery store Albertson's and listen to their intercom ads will understand.)

"Navel-gazing," huh? This topic would get a triple-X rating and pulled offline if the ESRB had anything to say about it.
