Because this is slashdot, news for nerds. News relating to technology. Go to cnn for main news. Would you chide epsn for talking about the game cancellations of a hurricane? No, they report on sports news, relax.
Not even the article was needed or even the summary. Protesting cuts led me to the obvious conclusion that they were cutting their funding. OP is just a grasping troll.
. . . Another way would be to eliminate secret courts, and secret court proceedings, which is an absolute requirement if we want people to believe we're a democracy.
"THE decision by the United States and Israel to develop and then deploy the Stuxnet computer worm against"
This hasnt been proven beyond reasonable doubt. Even though we all think US/Isreal are the curprits, all articles should start with an appropriate preface. This really needs to stop.
Ok, but would you even want to work for a company like that? That wastes money going out of their way to find cheaper talent? That just reeks of a place that pinches pennies left and right.
You have a valid point against some of these company's structure, but places like this dont need to be in business.
Meh, it works well enough for me. Which is what matters. Along with the mobile app.
Someone already said in a reply, but it'll take years of gross neglect for 900 million people to switch. G+'s major flaw is it was beat to the punch. It happens.
In all honesty, I like G+, and if it came around before FB, I would probably use it since I use a lot of Google services, but they just came along in the game too late and messed up opening to the public. I have 800 (legit) friends on fb, why would I bother them to migrate everything to G+ when FB works well enough?
Sorry, that is incorrect. And I currently do work supporting the war in Afghanistan which I just came back from in '11, so this is the experience I am talking from.
Take the two wars the US is currently involved in. The war on "terror" and supporting S Korea which is technically still at war with N Korea. Yes, both still involve boots-on-ground action, but everything you mentioned is in the past. Which is correct. But is the old ways of fighting wars. My statement of "anymore" means the bulk of the pushing, seek and destroy missions aren't done with boots on ground. Count up the cause from causalities of troop fighting and drone killings and you'll see the difference I am talking about.
Wars arent fought with ground troops anymore. Whats a machine gun going to do to a Hellfile missile sent from a predator? Miss horribly while it and its wielder melt.
And there is the disconnect between geeks and non geeks, or on a broader term, laymen and non-laymen.
EVEN IF OF THEIR OWN DOING, people are going to construe an app that takes information they themselves provide and use it in such a manner as creepy.
I understand they need to lock down their profile. But that isnt the point. Its the perception.
There is a staunch difference in the scenario you are depicting and what this app was aimed to do, just as there is a difference in what the app is aimed to do versus what Facebook and Foursquare are aimed to do.
Dont get me wrong, I am not saying the users should not carry most of the blame because they should, and yes, legally they are (the app maker) doing nothing wrong. And im as liberal as they come when it comes to rights
. . . but its still creepy as shit

Next time, read more than the first sentence in your quest to get first post.
Why don't you have a seat over here.
^Very insightful and spot on.
Nailed it.
Nah, even if we start over, we would just return to the current state in a few years.
Yes.

I've never heard of a continent not having, or for what it matters having a police force.

But . . . we arent a democracy . . . .
My text to voice translators have no problem saying profanity.
Yea, you may want to revert to the QWERTY :p
Because that what they say they will return. Regardless if you pass in unchecked arguments.
How can you properly debug code if documented fuctions dont behave in the way documented and acts inconsistantly??
Although you're being a smart ass, there is a stark difference.
New Orleans was built below sea level . . . I dont know of any other metropolotian cities built beloew sea level.

Sure.

True.
And as a pen tester, I've yet to use this on an online network. 100% non-issue for me.
