1158 comments in 13 hours. All on a story about a crabby old whiner whining about a popular, dead egomaniac. Is that all we have to talk about? Geeeeez, come on slashdot. There ARE things that matter still going on you know, even though your god of all technology has passed on. We can do better than this discussion, can't we? Apple has not died with its visionary/task-master/sideshow, and Stallman is still kind of a turd.
P.S. Just because you bought 4 different devices to do mostly the same things doesn't mean you knew Steve Jobs as a personal friend. And maybe you should look into the conditions in which Jobs' company employed foactory workers (via Foxconn), and all of their suicides. And cheaper competing devices with equivalent functionality.
We do have a high adaptability to tasks in space, but we have a decidedly low adaptability to being in space. Long stints in space (meaning as little as a few months) are linked to muscle atrophy, loss of bone density, depression, sleep disturbances and a number of other problems that may or may not prove to be seriously detrimental to the health and abilities of astronauts. And with trips of greater duration and distance there are increasing concerns over cancer and other things, as well as a higher probability of accidents. And of course there are the technical conerns, like the necessity of 100% protection from even short-term radiation and 100% uptime for life support systems - having oxygen and a pressurized environment 99.9% of the time is not good enough for humans.
The answer is to continue to develop both manned and unmanned space travel, progressing as technological advancements allow while pushing the envelope, within reason, and assuming some level of risk and tolerating occasional losses. Our goals should continue to be to better understand the universe, find life, and find intelligent life, and also to eventually colonize other worlds. This will take great patience, but equally great resolve to push on relentlessly.
Encryption is great, but it is not the ultimate answer to preserving our rights. Yeah, it works to maintain privacy and security, until they compel you to hand over the keys and potentially incriminate yourself or be presumed guilty. The 1st and 4th amendments are being eroded severely, and the 5th is beginning to be assailed. The next inconvenience to eliminate will be the 6th amendment, which is itself integral to the 8th amendment. I'm no Libertarian, nor a Ron Paul wacko, but I am VERY suspicious of some of what our leaders and courts have been doing lately, especially in the name of national security. Do not turn a blind eye or become too comfortable with government decisions, as it is our duty to keep them in check and protect our own rights. Governement is people, and people are fallible.
Is this not in direct contravention of the 4th amendment?
The 4th Amendment doesn't always apply anymore, especially in high-profile cases (this relates to Wikileaks, i.e. front page news), or much at all in California, where the courts and Governor agree that your phone (think about what a smartphone does) can be searched without a warrant. If this doesn't scare you, it should. This exemplifies a recent and major swing in the balance of power, in favor of those in office or who already have the power. Most of us will still be okay most of the time, but if we piss someone off or want to unseat the powers that be, well...
If the trend of the accelerating erosion of our civil rights continues, bad times are ahead for the common man, and a new age of corruption and blackmail will be upon us. I for one welcome our new Soviet-esque overlords!!!
Jake, sorry to hear about you getting into trouble with the big dogs, and hopefully you get out of it. And if you talk to your sister Bonita Applebum, tell her she's gotta put me on.

Steve Jobs Dead At 56
·
· Score: 0
In reality, though Apple has produced a number of slick and innovative products over the years, Jobs was driven not by a desire to make things easy for the world or by altruism, but by his own ego and greed. Building Apple into a profitable and influential company, twice, was quite a feat, and I would never harbor any ill will for anyone who had not wronged me. But I also had no particular love for Jobs or Apple, unlike a lot of people here, I guess. Didn't anyone ever get the feeling that Apple was just another money-sucking corporation with a really good marketing department and shiny, over-priced products? Sorry, but Steve Jobs got ridiculusly rich by telling you what you can do with your gadgets, Macbooks are over-priced, iPods have not helped end world hunger, and you COULD live without one. Tonight's news was sad, but come on, this guy was not your friend (except maybe for the three/. users who actually did know him, for whom I am sorry).
Sad new about Jobs. But I sure as hell didn't need ABC to break into the middle of the Double Jeopardy round and give me a fucking seven-minute retrospective of his career, hailing him as the god of all modern technology. If they had to interrupt the great Alex Trebek and one of the only TV shows that matters they could have just mentioned Jobs' death, asked us to tune in for more later, and given me my program back. Dear ABC, you can't felate a dead man, though your efforts were impressive.
...and now NBC has seen CNN and the ABC report and catches up, 30 minutes later.
Damn, I knew I should have moved to the West coast, for the TV schedule of course.

You could use a different browser for Facebook than for everything else you do. Say you normally use Firefox, you could use IE/Opera/Chrome/Safari/something else for Facebook only. Or set up a dedicated browser instance that runs in a VM, using that only for Facebook. My personal choice is even easier though - I don't use Facebook.
...and why are you dialing a phone so much that it ruins muscle and spatial memory? Having a preference for an upside-down number pad is fine of course, but this is the part I don't understand. Maybe look into "speed dial," or one o' them fancy new mobile phones with voice dialing, and switch fulltime to the qwerty style that is everywhere? Or maybe Zyprexa or Abilify is the answer. Seems like a lot of thought and effort for a non-problem.
...or suddenly drop the charges without explanation. You know, the same tact the MAFIAA take in civil cases - go for it big-time, until it looks like you are not going to get the result you want, then give up, act like nothing happened, and move on to the next poor sap.

So then Full Tilt Poker is just like a major US bank, except with more reserves.
Except that Full Tilt is not backed by a large, trusted organization like the FDIC, they are not overseen by scrutinous regulators, and bank withdrawls don't generally take several weeks to months to complete or result in checks bounced by the issuer themselves. So yes, if you say that anyone that handles large amounts of money is basically the same, then Full Tilt is just like a bank, except for every other possible detail.
Kids have kids because they did not have the benefit of a good upbringing or a quality education. They make a few poor decisions, and another generation is locked into the same misery. It is very easy for you to say "just don't do that," when someone told you what to watch out for. Not everyone had that. And staying in school for a high school degree (generally called a diploma) is far, far from a guarantee of success. Life is what you make it, indeed, but if you don't have any tools you probably aren't going to build much no matter how bad you want to. I'm glad everything seems so simple to you, but your simplistic answers are not cure-alls for folks who had rough starts in life. That's where civilized, successful people like us come in - we can do a little better to help others, can't we? If not, we are not that smart, and not that civilized afterall.
Or due you just think minorities choose to be poorer, more often incarcerated and have higher teen birth rates on average?
You want to know about class warfare? That's when you have people who work fulltime (unlike the unlucky 40 million who can't get jobs or are under-employed) having to rely on food stamps to feed their families because otherwise they can't keep a rented roof over their heads. A federal minimum wage of $7.25, which allows employers to pay wages that employess can not live on, and forcing students to take out huge loans in order to try get a basic education that might allow them to exceed the ridiculous minimum wage, now that is class warfare. There is no American Dream anymore for many millions of American citizens, just dreams of making it to the next paycheck without suffering. Trickle-down economics is class warfare.
I still think the ol' U S of A is the greatest country in the world, and I feel fortunate to have been born here and be doing alright, but I recognize that a lot of things are broken. People here enjoy a lot of freedom, but if we are as civilized as we claim, don't you think we can still do better? If you make a million dollars a year, you should be doing just fine, and you can afford to pay a little bit more to fix America. Stop whining, since with all your tax breaks and loopholes you don't truly pay a higher rate than those of us who only "earn" $30,000 or $60,000. You will need a strong middle class in the future or it won't be long before our nation's time as the world superpower comes to a close, which will be bad for all of us. If we maintain the status quo, with the rich getting richer, the poor staying poor, and the middle class vanishing, your wealth will evaporate in time, floating away overseas, or we'll rise up and take it from you. Rich people have a chance to fix things now before it is too late, if they are not so greedy as to insist on hoarding every last nickel now. The status quo is class warfare, and prolonged class warfare is our road to doom.
Vote for me. I'll work to keep wealthy people wealthy, by convincing them to invest in our future, which will also benefit all in our society. You can keep the power, if you choose to, but you can't have all of everything.
Yes! With one simple install you can make your whole infrastructure; the code your engineers spent so much time writing and maintaining; the third-party software you bought; your support contacts; in fact your whole business - stop.
Highly recommended!(or was your comment a joke, in the not-funny sense?)
Wait, is this the joke? That you think Linux is a joke? Maybe the engineers spend way too much writing and maintaining code in your company, and maybe Windows is the problem? Having bought expensive, broken third-party software is no reason to be a slave to it forever. Transitions take some work, which can pay off dramitcally from both a maintenance and cost perspective. There are alternatives that work, you know. But admitting that, and advocating something that you have no experience with or knowledge about, should put your own job at risk. So I understand your reluctance, though it could be characterized as willful ignorance.
But if you want to make it that big and ugly, even I could accomplish the same exact thing (without sketches). Putting it all into a smaller form factor or more attractive case would make this somewhat notable. Or throw a real computer into the mix. As it is, you could do just as well by taking the two consoles, strapping them together, and calling it one hybrid machine. Good effort, and nice write up, I guess.
I can see it now... Thousands of people on OBX (complete with their annoying, cliched bumper stickers), the Jersey Shore (well, I'm more okay with this one being annihilated), and even New England, dying due to the fact that they bought the Irene hype, I mean warnings, and didn't want to leave their dubiously situated beachfront homes again for a day or two again. Its kind of like lying in the street when there are semi trucks racing back and forth - sometimes they'll miss you completely, they can move right over you without touching you, or they can inflict minor peripheral injuries. But if you play with them often enough, you're going to get run over, badly, and be very unhappy with the result of your refusal to simply move out of the way for a minute, assuming you survive.
Future famous last words of Dumb Guy Who Prudently Evacuated for Irene: "Shoot, I done high-tailed it outta town for I-Rene, and ain't nuthin' happened here, so ain't no way we's leavin' fer Hurricane BillyJoeBob, specially since it's only a cat-A gory 3, er only 1 more'n Irene was at first. We jus gonna get some beer an have a watch party, know what I'm sayin'? We ain't skeered, I heard we live 7 whole feet above sea level!"
Hype? Maybe it didn't kill thousands (thank God), but Irene affected LOTS of people. Untold millions of dollars in damage. Flooding in locations usually immune to hurricanes. I live in freaking Ohio, and it impacted several members of my family who live here - major travel considerations, flights cancelled, days lost to driving, a resulting traffic accident. It ruined the honeymoon of my newlywed sister, who lives in freaking New Hampshire. A friend in Vermont (Vermont! The capital of Nothing To Report, Business as Usual, USA), has lost his dream home to a 1000-year flood . The personal annoyance to me was minimal, as I left the East coast just in time, and thankfully there weren't more deaths, but this was a significant hurricane that killed people who were inexperienced with such matters and negatively impacted many, many more. Katrina wasn't that long ago. You can be glad Irene wasn't as bad as early estimates, but meteorology is there more to warn us than be a perfect predictor, so don't be caught with your pants down next time a big one lives up to the hype.
Looks like you're admitting to being a real idiot if you live in a place that sees ridiculously destructive storms on a regular basis, and you're proud of your hurricanes. I nominate you for a Darwin award, in hopes of sparing the life of someone else who might be caught off guard or not expect a bad storm to be as powerful as they can be. They families of those killed by Irene, and those folks who live in areas that are traditionally much safer, are not so amused. Even something as "mild" as a tropical storm can wreak havoc on many areas, like what has happened in Vermont. Unprecedented destruction there. Get over yourself, and be thankful you've been so lucky sleeping through hurricanes, since you certainly haven't outwitted them.
I suppose that FBI agents are so technically inept that they commonly carry wifi routers in their vans (which would be completely unnecessary) and name their networks this obviously? I've seen "FBI" networks at least a couple of times, when not wardriving, so I doubt I it is easy to just stumble upon such stupidly named but authentic networks. Why didn't the person who submitted this article, or the one who approved it, realize that the moron of interest is not really smart enough to uncover an FBI investigation of him?
