These are the kinds of politicians that need to be excised from their positions, regardless of party or affiliated ideology.
I've always believed that anyone who actually wants to work in politics should be automatically disqualified from the position on the basis that they are clearly degenerate.
The government already has access to my bank account. They don't need to break into my computer to get it.
They'd be interested in your password though.
Either in case you re-use it elsewhere or to help them guess the type of passwords you'd use for other accounts.
I don't know if this should be +1 paranoid, or +1 insightful.
there are some interesting connections between SSIDs and things like school shootings..
So: school kids are picking up wifi with their fillings (?) and being "hacked" by terrorists so that they shoot up their schools? Wow, that's pretty tin foil hat, even for/.
Depends on which platform (there's an open defect for OSX and I don't know about Windows), but on Linux it's been gapless if compiled from the git repo for maybe six months.
The international version of the Galaxy 3S produces ~6400 BogoMIPS

LOL. Bogomips. From Bogus and MIPS. How many millions (or is it billions?) of times per second can the processor do absolutely nothing. Good argument.;-)
28 gun deaths per day is a steep price for our society's inability to distinguish between anecdotes and statistics.
28 gun deaths per day is a cheap price for our society's continued freedom from government tyranny. That's what the second amendment is about. Not self defense, not hunting, not skeet shooting. Protection from tyranny. It's a recognized right for the people to possess the means to revolt should they choose.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Seriously???
This made sense back in the 18th and 19th centuries. Do you really expect to stand up to the US government with a bunch of hunting rifles, shotguns, pistols and the odd assault rifle? Hell, why aren't the people doing that now, when things like gitmo, DHS overreach and other such stomping of freedoms surely must be considered tyranny? (here's a hint - you'd lose long before martial law was declared).
Lord Percy Percy: I've done it, my Lord! I've discovered how to turn things into gold! Pure gold! Blackadder: You have? Show me! Lord Percy Percy: [takes lid off melting pot, and Baldrick, Percy and Blackadder are bathed in a green glow] Behold! Blackadder: Percy... it's green. Lord Percy Percy: Yes, my Lord! Blackadder: Now, look, Percy, I don't mean to be pedantic or anything, but the color of gold... is gold. That's why it's called gold. What YOU have discovered, if it has a name, is some... Green. Lord Percy Percy: [removes lump of Green from pot] Oh, Edmund... can it be true? That I hold here, in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest Green?
Kudos - you know how to use one particular tool but can't figure out how to use another, well done.
I'd hardly say that you're the only one (especially coming from the Windows camp, where everything is done the Windows way, as opposed to the Unix way), but I think you might be exaggerating when you say "just like all the other people...".
The main problem that you - and people like you (and this isn't intended as an insult), have with Linux/Unix is that you expect it to be a free version of Windows - which it isn't.
Great. I have a question: Has there ever been a trademark infringement lawsuit, where the defendants had both been using the trademark in the market and had originated it before the plaintiffs, and where the plaintiffs won the case? I sincerely doubt it.
"GAIM" changed their name first to "gaim", then to "Pidgin IM" after pressure from AOL, even though GAIM was named long before AOL Instant Messenger was shortened to AIM. Linky. OK, wasn't trademarked, but still.
why should companies like Samsung, HTC, etc etc actually bother releasing their products in the US when Apple will use the courts to ban them?
The US is one of the largest (the largest?) market in the world. Why would companies not try to cash in on that?
It's amazing how many of the self proclaimed 'freedoms' and 'ethics' have been quietly swept under the carpet in the name of capitalism and the next quarters profit margin.
"The land of the free" has been a joke to everyone outside of the US for decades.
I wasn't diagnosed until I was in college... ADHD is not a made-up disease, just an over-diagnosed one
So let me get this straight. What you're saying is that ADHD is an over diagnosed disease that you personally have been diagnosed with... and what's more, you have found that with the intake of prescribed amphetamine, your attention span increases?
Is it just me, or does it seem like every Slashdotter here that has a girlfriend or wife feels like they have to let everybody else know about their significant other, regardless of how out of context it is to mention them?
I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with this.

Just another mindless windows sheep.
Just another mindless linux sheep.
Just another pair of ridiculous fanboys.
Which is why I am considering a PS4....
I HATE Sony, and Microsoft's steaming turd is making me consider one.
You do realise that you could... you know, just not buy either? It's not like you have to buy one or the other or your dick will fall off.
I wouldn't imagine that the FDA would have much to say, beyond the usual cleanliness checks, etc. that any food company faces.
I dunno - if they find that he's grinding up people to make his "food", they might be pretty pissed.

In other words, porn is an ideal lubricant for slopes.
PHWOAAR! No more boring old snowboarding for me!
Why IS it /. Inztead of ./
It's a play on the pronunciation of the URL. Aitch tee tee pee colon slash slash slashdot dot org
Am I the only one around here that noticed winamp just didn't sound very good?
Is that because of the badly encoded 128kb mp3s you pulled from Napster and Gnutella rather than the player?

Compiling Clementine from source.
Foobar2000. The only piece of software I really miss after moving to Linux.
If you miss Foobar, try deadbeef. It's not as configurable, but it's a solid little player that will look very familiar to you :)

Perhaps it's related an olde English discovery?

If your yearly income is 1 million dollars, that 20 seconds is worth about $600.
Um... it's probably a good idea for you to stop drinking and dividing.

"Enterprise" in IT doesn't mean what you'd expect it to.
It usually means "far too complicated for its own good".
Surely in that case, then virtualbox is perfect? Operating systems in your operating systems (yo dawg).
Launch times are absolutely atrocious
That's your disk i/o. Get an SSD.
It was a valid point, but unfortunatley, the /. mods are all on crack.
Arrr.... it's not gay if it happens on a boat.
