You think this is a promotion? I guess among drug users, but I don't think that's the majority of Slashdotters. Maybe I'm wrong about that of course. I just see this as an "oh great, the US government is going to crack down on bitcoin" story.
People are bad enough with alcohol and cigarettes. I'd hate to see what happened if you let people have unrestricted access to harder drugs. Most people can barely look after themselves as it is, let alone the children that those type of people tend to churn out, Idiocracy style.
The two don't have to be directly linked. They do both, and they're doing their damndest to make invading your privacy even more legal. I'm sure they do plenty of invading illegally too, when they can get away with it. The government also get money from those they help out, and the privacy erosion helps to ensure that any who want to dispose of the current crooked system get wiped out.
Wow, the people who developed the standard use it, that's life changing knowledge!
Instead, let's look at some of the W3C's "Mission" statements:
Web for All - The social value of the Web is that it enables human communication, commerce, and opportunities to share knowledge. One of W3C's primary goals is to make these benefits available to all people, whatever their hardware, software, network infrastructure, native language, culture, geographical location, or physical or mental ability
Web on Everything - The number of different kinds of devices that can access the Web has grown immensely. Mobile phones, smart phones, personal digital assistants, interactive television systems, voice response systems, kiosks and even certain domestic appliances can all access the Web
This is just one of the groups that I'd have expected to have IPv6 addresses by now. Facebook and Amazon don't either..
At the highest level, it means you don't need 3rd party "services" to connect to other people, or even to connect to your own machines when you're away. The implications of that are game changing.
You know you can do all of that already if you actually want to, right?
You're still going to want 3rd party services to communicate your IPv6 address to friends (or even to your other devices probably). Unless you want to drive to their house and read it out manually. I hope I never have to read out or scribe an IPv6 address manually:/
I don't change mine all that often either, and similarly have different levels of passwords.
What do you mean by "very long"? I think something like 8 or 9 characters minimum is probably necessary to avoid rainbow table cracking these days.
I've taken to slightly modifying my password depending on which site I am using. It helps to lengthen the password but in an easy to remember way, even though my basic password is already above the length that should be easily crackable.
Keeping the same password forever does leave you susceptible to things like hardware keyloggers, and websites storing your passwords in cleartext (like Slashdot apparently does) though.
Boots up faster than Windows, and presumably even faster than most Linux distros.
This was actually the reason I started using OSX over Windows at first, simply because it would boot into a useful mode (browsing/media playing) faster. I then switched to Ubuntu which had a similar or slightly faster boot time.
For Windows you could use hibernate, but hibernate has never worked nicely for me on Windows. Windows is also just.. meh.
I think such scaling is a good idea, but it should depend on the number of patents filed within a certain period of time, rather than in absolute terms.
I'll still say they're idiots for contributing toward an always-available always-working world where one is so distracted by one's so important job that he will still waste hours either end through a theatrical security dance. There's only one sort to blame for the TSA: the man who chooses to fly.
Sheesh!
What about those people that are going on, you know, a vacation?
How can you blame those who fly for the TSA being idiots? What about the terrorists on 9/11? What about the government/TSA themselves for being power grubbing and/or paranoid asshats? Are you saying people should just drive everywhere, wasting days of their lives rather than hours?
Honestly, your comments usually at least have some sense to them, but this.. I don't get.
I missed the Superbowl this year because I was on a flight:(
If only there were some worldwide global communications platform that you could use to somehow stream video from your home to your computer.. oh well, maybe it'll happen one day!
It wouldn't be taught at 5, R.E. classes start around 11. And yes, it makes a big difference which class things are being taught in. You could teach kids Star Trek "physics" in Physics classes and a lot of them would just take it at face value, without questioning. If instead you taught them the same things in an English science fiction module, they would know it wasn't real.
Slashdot Mirror
I rate joints below cigarettes and alcohol on the health damage scale - I was thinking more of stuff like heroine, cocaine, etc.
It relates to Privacy because one of the main "selling" points of Bitcoin is anonymity.

Someone is missing out on a good opportunity.
I actually read it as smoke pot the first time too.
Poker chips? Dirty laundry? TELL ME!

aOh snap!ddiHow humourous! :):wq
Man I hate VI.
are* damnit. Always get myself with the re-writing of parts of sentences.
On a side note, I found it interesting that the Zuck capitalises "Internet". I suppose it's valid, though I've never thought to do so myself.
Things like spacing out ellipses as well as not using apostrophes correctly is a great sign of a computer illiterate, dumbass scam artist at work.
You forgot the government.

Yeah, they should get up to date like the W3C have.. oh, wait.

Bah! I don't waste good passwords on trivial things like money!

And now "the little guy" would have no way in hell of ever getting a patent filed, since only already-big businesses would be able to afford it.

Haven't tried it nope, and I don't really feel the need to now that I have my Xoom. They are a bit late.
You sound like you're talking about iOS a few years ago.
You can install ChromeOS on any PC you want, not just "underpowered systems".
Unity isn't in 10.10. Good thing, because it sucks. I'm now using Mint.
