Data mining is data mining. A checkoff box to provide some form of 'consent' is just an excuse. The fact that Facebook was approving of Obama to the point of being deep up his rear so that the data miners could enter through the Front Door is really irrelevant.
Anonymous Cowards are crapflooding that. It's boring and disappointing. The older non-political crapflooding was at least a little amusing. But rendering 'impeach' as a word with similar weight and meaning as 'benghazi!' is productive, so carry on with your tedious role.
What a load of garbage. Assange is not not out on an epic quest toward world domination, nor does he want to control me. All he's done on a world scale is point out certain truths by providing information.
Also, he has he has helped stub out a few political dynasties that needed bright light shined on them.
When we had Comcast installed last year the scheduled day they were supposed to install was the afternoon of Easter Sunday. Unbeknownst to Comcast, our house, on a rural county highway, had never been wired for cable before. The hookup guy ended up escalating the install until eventually there were three trucks of installers involved. We didn't pay any more than the ordinary default, even though I asked for the service entry to be at an entry point that ended up being on the exact opposite corner of the house than where they pulled in the overhead service line. We got a pretty good deal, imho.
Sounds like a creative DoS. Spoof different IPs and spam the login to the site with known accounts. Lock everybody out.
That's useful on poorly set up Windows domains. Is there a public pc somewhere in the building. 'Log on' as you least liked co-worker to get their account locked. IT needs something to do that is less boring than the toner in the LJ4 up on third floor east.
Let me get this straight. So the NIST is saying that when a new user creates an account on a site, that site should immediately shuffle a copy of that password off to another site where it can be compared tona list of passwords on that site.
That sounds a little shitty. When I sign up for an account somewhere, the password I create and give them shouldn't be passed around to other entities. It sounds like a great opportunity for somebody building a password dictionary to log a copy of everything that's being sent to that site.
I like (don't love, that seems a bit extreme) my Samsung Galaxy J. I bought it outright for a Virgin Mobile pay-as-you-go plan for $120. It does not have dual sims, but the 128 g micro-sd card I added gives it storage the only the most expensive flagships sport.
So, in your analogy, who is the US bombing campaign that forced the rural population into the cities where they would all be when the US military cut off all aid and dumped the problem in the Khmer Rouges' lap? Is that Tim Cook wearing the latex Kissenger face mask?
Lines drawn by the European powers in the 19th century do not constutute historical national boundaries. The area now known as Israel has a complex history. There have been christians and jews living there for a very long time, not just islamics.
The Arabs are nomadic, in ways their territorial claims are similar to those of American Indians. For better or for worse, the land claims are complex.
And anyway, the Jordanians keep quite a few of the 'Palestinians' penned up in camps, to use as a weapon against Israel. They will not allow the refugees to absorb into their country. Who are the humanitarians, again?
Slashdot was never a 'Tech' board nor ever meant to be one. 'Tech' is a sub-category of the rather gregarious interests of the nerd subculture. It is a topic, among many others' that is of interest.
You pinks and vanilla mainstreamers can get kinda annoying with your assumptions. Yes, CS was a worthy 'career choice' and now you're in IT and doing fine. Keep outta the way with your assumptions.
No, you don't pay 'one way or the other.' The limited service the poor can afford means they don't survive to the age of 74 where they cost an astronomical amount for their last two years of life. That sort of expensive care is reserved for the more prosperous.
Low cost preventive care is sort of a myth. People avoid medical treatment for many other reasons than the cost. Extremely indulgent free medical services would transform into a habitat for the idle if made unconditionally free. The people who needed it would still avoid treatment.
The people advocating for universally free non-critical care (i.e 'free checkups') are generally the vendors of said services. Which is okay. Just be honest. The hot dog seller in the street is honest about his advocacy, and you can be too.
In the end we are all dead. Health and nutrition are an extremely complex matter. It's largely a matter of culture.
Since we're all dead in the end, the trip along the way is much more important than the inevitable destination.
And really, initiatives like this are about flexing power over others. Those 'poor dumb fools' who we can help by imposing our rules over.
It's the same as it ever was. Information can be valuable in helping others make beneficial choices. Imposition, on the other hand, is mostly negative.
My point was mostly lost in this thread that grew on it. The government involves itself in a lot of our personal business. I really doubt in the case of the bakery/wedding cake that there was no other choice available to the wedding organizers. There were plenty of other places to obtain a wedding cake for the celebration. It isn't like the jim crow south where blacks found themselves locked out of towns almost completely. So the legal action against the bakery was a targeted and organized attack on a business that a community didn't like. Almost like the kind of stuff the Klan commonly did.
Incidentally, the Klan wasn't an ad-hoc lynch mob, or even much of a secret organization. At it's peak, it was a powerful mainstream social organisation with local roots all across regions of the US, like the Lions, Shriners, or Freemasons. In some areas blacks weren't even the main target. The Klan attacked Jews and Roman Catholics very aggressively. It was just a nasty flavor of social organization, with smaller militant wings that are kind of like antifa is today.
I use Seamonkey as my primary browser, but not the email component. The Composer component works perfectly withe the browser component to cut-and-paste web content into nice local html files. Then you can open said files with the browser and use the 'edit' button to continue to clean them up and add to them. The composer, with it's 'preview' and 'view html' tabs lets you freeze out and eliminate active web content from your saves.
The table building capability of Composer lets you drag and drop web content into your saves and organize things. If I could only have one high-level piece of software on a machine it would be Seamonkey.

Or am I thinking of some other association of shysters?
The Democratic National Committee has too much long-term name recognition value to just change their name because of some indiscrete email leaks.

'He picked on muh Hillary.' 'He wuz supposed to be on "our" side.'

The NIST says "send all your users' new passwords to us. So we can check if they are compromised."

Is 'the most profitable' really the highest praise we can give a company, on Slashdot, in 2018?
WTF has happened here?

That is a recycling of the cold war 'missle gap' arguement.
You comment is insightful, but GP commenter is just going to beat on their bongo drums and recite a 'what is evil?' bromide.
And definitely, neither do you.

No, now when the terrorists want to hold a big meeting, they all dress appropriately for a wedding.

Only young people haven't grown up yet.
Don't worry, the rest of us don't. You'll figure it out eventually.

I first started using it on NetBSD but right now my client sits on a Windows 10 machine. It's in pkgsrc and should be available on any freenix.
One of the nice things about Sylpheed is that it nests mail threads properly, so if you subscribe to ant mailing lists the threading flows properly.
