  1. Reboot on North Korean Internet Is Down · · Score: 0

    Did they reboot the core router? Might want to leave it off for a few days so it won't get fried. Otherwise, no one will notice the internet being down except the Jong-Un children, who are trying to download torrents of "the interview".

  2. Re:This has been known ... on Google Partners With HTC For Latest Nexus Tablet · · Score: 0

    Slashdot has to post lots of articles everyday to keep their karma up and their ads paying out!

    Taiwan is China. China is the '"People's" republic of verbosity in the land that people including geography and history call china and is known a china'

    When I read "lock in syndrome" I was expecting a story about phb only going with non-fud technologies, and are locked-in to ab^H^Husing it My condolences.

  5. Re:Seamless fallback on US Wireless Carriers Shifting To Voice Over LTE · · Score: 0

    I've watched www.google.com/voice versus a cdma phone versus a gsm phone receiving a text message that was simultaneously sent to all three, and the Google Voice website showed up first, then the GSM phone, then the CDMA phone about two second after the GSM phone.

  6. she's boring on Facebook Refuses To Share Employee Race and Gender Data · · Score: 0

    Anyone else find Sheryl Sandberg boring? Seriously, come up with some new and interesting technology. All she ever says is "women women women blah blah blah..." and I'm all for extreme fairness: the best person to do a job is the best D*MN person to do the job! To HELL with all this "fit in with the corporate culture", that's discriminatory!

    Install classicshell on it. Heck, I install classicshell on windows 7, just because it's more responsive than the native shell.

  8. Re:You're Doing It Wrong on On MetaFilter Being Penalized By Google · · Score: 1

    It's a great site. I miss seeing it in the search results. It's like Yahoo Answers except the people are much more intelligent, the creme de la creme of the web. I wish Google had a way of "voting up" websites such as metafilter in my personalized results.

    Perhaps you drop the bomb in the water where everyone can see it explode. You demonstrate the power of the atomic age without using it.

    Hmmm. They could have dropped them in the water to prove the superiority. It would have destroyed fish for decades, but, as Kurdt Cobain says "fish don't have feelings"

    Just sign in and disable those features. Or I believe that you can disable them when you're logged out.

  14. Re:Surprise, anyone? on Yahoo Stops Honoring 'Do-Not-Track' Settings · · Score: 0

    I'd like to see a lawsuite concerning crawling information in robots.txt. I don't think it would stand up, it's a voluntary, community-created standard. It's a polite way of saying "this is dynamic information or private". If it's private, then don't make it public! The first things hackers and pentesters do is traverse robots.txt

    If they really gave a **** about kids behavior problems they wouldn't sell coca cola and junk foods and would use taxpayer money (a la the free lunch program) to provide healthier foods.

  19. Remember Video Dialtone? Fiber To The Curb? on Major Carriers Shun Broadband Stimulus · · Score: 0
    To quote http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2007/pulpit_20070810_002683.html

    This is part three of my explanation of how America went from having the fastest and cheapest Internet service in the world to what we have today -- not very fast, not very cheap Internet service that is hurting our ability to compete economically with the rest of the world. Part one detailed expected improvements in U.S. broadband based on emerging competitive factors, yet decried that it was too little too late. Part two explained how U.S. broadband ISPs are different from most overseas ISPs and how those differences make it unlikely that we'll ever regain leadership in this space. And this week's final part explains that this all came about because Americans were deceived and defrauded by many of their telephone companies to the tune of $200 billion -- money that was supposed to have gone to pay for a broadband future we don't -- and never will -- have.

    So it's illegal to backup a dvd, but it's not illegal for VLC media player's Libdvdcss to decode it in realtime by allowing programs to treat it as a block device? And if it is legal, then it should likewise be legal to decode to another format, rather doing a perfect backup.
