I'm not from the US. But their system seems a hell of a lot better than the European system of having a undemocratic umbrella group controlling what every country does.
A hospital I worked at had a horrible USB stick virus (which I ended up getting). Sophos didn't work, and the IT guy I reported it to just updated the definition file, and tried to scan again (and it obviously didn't work).
The thing that annoyed me the most was there was no way I could easily forward the virus files to Sophos. No way of communicating with them. I guess they just don't care. Making software work costs money. That money is best spend on marketing.
Fortunately there was nothing important on my card, and I have never allowed autorun, but it made me hate AV software even more.
That's not true at all. He has a hell of a lot of support amongst the computer-literate and young.
We all hate that the major parties sold us down the shitter over the S92a bullshit. Everyone knew from the start the raid was over-the-top (fucking helicopters, that must be a first in a NZ arrest!), and are not surprised that the GCSB didn't know their arse from their elbow.
The guy has done nothing wrong in our country. He enabled some people to upload things to a website - that's not a crime. And just because some people uploaded copyrighted things (based on unfair enormously long, and bribed-to-get-that-way copyright terms) to his website, does not make him a money launderer!
In front of the corner of Curiosity closest to the camera, there's a dark grey cylinder with part faded out. Beneath, and slightly lateral to this you can see a motor which has had the top left corner diagonally cut out of it.
The arm was attached to this area, and that why as it rotated the picture here changed. It's the only place there are any major artefacts in the image.
Not to mention that QWERTY enables video games to use WASD to move around. Imagine how hard it would be to play a FPS using Dvorak! W is below and left of S, and A and S are on opposite ends of the computer!
Also, I've noticed the game Starcraft 2 has most of its hotkeys on the left side of the keyboard. Imagine trying this on a Dvorak keyboard!
So I guess my conclusion is that QWERTY was designed with gamers in mind.
And it's not just "right wingers", and it's not just the USA.
The UN is a fucking horrible waste of space and money. They are an incredibly corrupt organisation, and they get the dregs of our troughing failed/retired politicians.
I hate the fact that my taxes go to support this organisation that I have no control of, and can write laws that I have no influence over.
It's powerlessness is it's only good point. I'm glad that I don't live in Europe though - the EU seems a much more nasty (and expensive) equivalent. And they can enforce laws.
Slashdot Mirror
But this is the first time Apple did it. Before then it wasn't innovative.
Yep. She should have killed and eaten the snake - that was the true test.
Sad that most of Slashdot is against it because of the colour of their ties.
Getting rid of crony capitalism corporatism is more important that rep or dem.

Or is it just another judge taking glee out of fining wealthy companies for the sake of it?
Douchebags, hipsters, and the parents of rich spoilt brats.
Go easy on the author. This is politics discussion site, so not all of us understand basic computing terms.
It was a beowulf cluster of pacemakers. Can you imagine the power of this?
These horrible pieces of spy/mal/adware that install from CNet need to be detected. I have not found a program that does so.
"What are metrosexual-wannabes?"
Male Apple users.

Yep. But we keep spending money on this waste of space.
We have to stop spending money on all the world's problems.
Ironically I'm modded up to 5. I assume this was from the Bieber quip.
"Nearly 13"/32 = nearly 40%.
"Nearly 13"/64= nearly 20%.
Almost half. Sure, no exaggeration detected at all. And then you can add a memory card if over 19GB isn't enough for everybody.
Or Apple could do something ethical for the first time in its wretched narcissistic existence.
(Just joking, Apple will never be ethical.)
Heroes don't really exist. They're a concept - it's someone who inspires you. But that person may not inspire others.
So while people may have heroes, there are no actually heroes. It's not a type of person, but an opinion about a person.
Oh no! It's a 3-digit UID Slashdotter who hates money! Fucking typical.
Money ain't evil, it paid for your computer.
Dotcom did nothing wrong, except piss off Hollywood.
That's not true at all. He has a hell of a lot of support amongst the computer-literate and young.

"for once, several of the YouTube comments are worth reading for more details on the construction and specs."
Yeah, unlike the impeccably high standard of comments you see on Slashdot. Mod me up if you hate Bieber!
Why do you defend these scoundrels at Apple?
Take a look at the high res photo:

What did he do wrong? He's had previous small-time crimes in Germany, but nothing since.
He ran a website you could upload things to. What's so "bad" about that?
AES
So that makes it okay?
