Doubt it, Israel is more likely. Even if they are one of our allies, I don't believe they are an ally we should trust completely, much like how we view China.
Besides, I doubt that Iran can get good quality help with something like this, especially since they would most likely have to know a good amount of how the internal security is set up. Russia isn't stupid enough to help them with something like this, neither is China.
Ok, so I understand that these computers are to never be connected to the internet, but why does that mean that they don't put security software on them?
Yes, they would have to do updates manually, and it's a low risk situation, but it is a prime target for foreign adversaries and allies alike.
A lawyer is paid to know what is going on and the ability to think. Reading/. can help him stay informed, and reading other peoples opinion gives him insights he would probably not get on his own.
Not that I like lawyers in general, but you just fucking suck even in comparison to a lawyer who reads slashdot during conference calls.
I would guess the "This is the first submission by such and such." might be there to remove the illusion that is usually just the same five people who always get articles posted.
Now although there is more than five people submitting articles, the majority of the content is linked from a small set of websites. Many of which are just blogs that link to actual articles.
Yes, but once a comment is made it can get replied to or moderated, if it gets changed after the reply or moderation the reply or moderation wouldn't make sense.
Editing the submission, sure no problem, editing the comments though is not a good idea.
shorten the time to repost after posting one comment as AC
Then join up and be part of the community. Or don't post as AC as often. I hope you aren't one of those self righteous assholes who begins their AC posts with.
"I am posting as AC cause I am such a fucking chickenshit that I could never be able to deal with being downmodded."
One of my wives cousins interviewed him for NPR a while back and during a recent family reunion he told us a little bit about meeting Leonard Nimoy and one of those things is do not bring up the topic of Star Trek with him, he hates it.
He has done quite a lot of stuff outside, but I like most people don't really give a shit about it and apparently that pisses him off.

The virus may be being spread by detachable hard drives that contain map information, they need to be updated frequently.
Yes, it would be nice if the OS itself didn't get infected, but you still need to dis-infect the drives that you plug into it either way.

Excuse me while I patent that idea, hopefully the potato clock isn't considered prior art.
It's not easy but you can get a +1 Troll score. I recently got a +1 Flamebait.
What +1 Troll could be used for is covered by +1 Funny.
Please get rid of the Borg Gates as an icon for Microsoft stories.
What happens between when you hit reply and you hit submit?
Normally I would just blow off your comment as more paranoid bullshit, but I haven't had mod points in forever even though I have excellent karma.
I stopped receiving mod points soon after a number of comments and up mods regarding poor editing and story submissions.
I used to receive somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 mod points a month. I have even tried meta-moderating, not much, but some.

The commenting is what makes Slashdot Slashdot.
From what you are saying you want a blog.
Yes, but once a comment is made it can get replied to or moderated, if it gets changed after the reply or moderation the reply or moderation wouldn't make sense.

2nd'ing the motion to let us moderate articles.

If classic mode is ever disabled I will never visit again. I cannot stand the default mode.

I think it's missing cameras and wings.
That is too dumb for anyplace, I see why you posted it as an AC.
Why is this something that has not been made yet?
Get a small wireless surveillance camera, attach a battery, and put it in a container that is throw able and will always land upright.
Toss though the window, and have it try to scan the room as quickly as possible.
This should cost less than $300 per.
Something like this could be used as the base camera.

I agree, at that price it looks like tablets could get as commonplace in real life as they were in Star Trek.
Force someone to recognize that the Ipad is a giant Ipod Touch, not a giant Iphone?
Yes, much like the OLPC was a $100 dollar computer that cost $400 for an individual to purchase.
Why is it the educations systems responsibility to provide incentive to learn for the sake of learning?
Although my wife and I have talked about polygamy I think it would be just too much hassle.
Can you imagine two wives, both on the rag at the same time?

Look under the coroner post.
