NYC is being a bunch of drama queens. I read an article about idiots complaining about the quake in VA, with no mention of VA. Now a cat2 hurricane hits FL/SC/NC and a cat1 hits VA/MD and by the time it gets to NY it'll be a tropical storm. I'm in VA, sitting in my room, and looking out the window at the wind and rain. Bunch of babies.
Samsung has been anything but hostile towards the CM team. I think this will make Samsung phones more codeable, but unfortunately take Chris away from the CM team, or at least decrease the time he has for them. They still have tons of talent with them. I gotta agree, using the "our phones are even more customizable" is a good angle, if only they'd let you get rid of the crap they bundle, and forcing you to use Bing. That's why I'm swaying away from the S2 phones, and looking at the Bionic.
Preventing Android smartphone vendors from using other services than Google's is exactly the same kind of deal and is highly anti-competitive, as is their favoring of their own services above competing ones.
I'll bite, until you get modded as troll.
Explain how Samsung phones have Bing. Also, are you suggesting that a company bundle all services from competitors? I'd love to see how the WinMo phones do that.
Most of their marketing is really wise social engineering, the best example of being constant bombardment to download and switch to Chrome if you use IE.
Anyone still using IE has no idea other browsers exist, or are MS fanboys. What sort of constant bombardment? You mean marketing? I fail to see how people using Google complain that google advertises their products. Don't like those, try another search engine, there are a plethora to choose from.
Just because Google offers services for free and gets paid for them via advertisements and privacy violating data mining doesn't mean they can get away with everything. Most slashdotters seem to be blinded by the whole free and supposedly open thing, while most of their products are actually closed.
Open how? Free as in beer, or speech? I use them because they are free as in beer, and work well. I've used competing products, Hotmail, Yahoo, and they're stuck in geocities age.

Nice try. I changed the title to the latter, because the former didn't fit in the submission form, which you'd know if you ever submitted a link. -1 for crazy theories though.
Seriously, how likely is it that cancer would be completely uniformly distributed?
When you get a geographic/profession based cluster, you can usually hypothesize that it's an environmental cause, a.k.a. the machines generating radiation that they stand next to. So yes, you are completely correct, but your logic is completely incorrect.
And Microsoft probably didn't see why it was unreasonable to promote their own browser on their operating system. Antitrust legislation is about more than promotion: it prevents you from your dominance in one market to muscle competitors out of a different market. Whether or not Google is actually running afoul of antitrust laws, I don't know, but it's definitely a possibility: you don't think it's possible that so many people are using Google Docs instead of other cloud document editing services because it's right on Google's homepage?
You have a choice of what search engine to use. Theirs happens to be the best. How else would you propose that Google promote their products? Hide them until a person stumbles upon them? Actually, that's how I found fastflip, but the point remains, why should Google have to white-wash their page when Bing, Yahoo, and whatever else is out there, do the exact same thing.
Before the project launched, I knew exactly what I wanted for the cover — a pixel art recreation of the original album cover, the only thing that made sense for an 8-bit tribute to Kind of Blue. I tried to draw it myself, but if you've ever attempted pixel art, you know how demanding it is. After several failed attempts, I asked a talented friend to do it.
It was a hand made pixel art of a likeness of Miles Davis. It wasn't just run through a filter to make a blurry copy of the photograph. That's like saying Andy Warhol's soup can is in violation.
I have no idea what sort of justification he made, but the derivative work always generates renewed interest in the original, so Maisel not only received free publicity for an album for which he gets royalties, but also extorted a good chunk of change from Waxy for something that is clearly fair-use. It's a hand-made pixel art version of a photograph. There is no way in hell that a person interested in Kind of Blues would say, "Hey, you know what, I'm going to buy that chiptunes album because the album art is similar."

I noticed my point was unclear. I meant, no person would buy Kind of Bloop, instead of Kind of Blues because the cover art is similar.

That's like saying you exported all the emails to binary. All the information is there, but making it harder for someone to access is just being a dick, and in some cases illegal. This appears to be one of those cases, as someone pointed out with the FOIA laws.
From my point of view, everyone is discussing the article. Yes, I did RTFA. They stated the three arrested are "leaders of the Spanish section of anonymous." Just because certain people are more active than others doesn't make them leaders. This is just another "tubes" moment where governments have no idea about what goes on in the technological world. The article also stated that no charges have been made, which leads me to believe that this was an order from somewhere high, because someone isn't happy, and wanted to send a message.
The thing with anonymous organizations is that anyone can claim to be in them, create twitter groups, and send out "press releases." Everyone is on topic because the topic is the targeting of the "leadership" of anonymous, in this case the Spanish section, whatever that means.
I'm not really clear on why that's part of the decision. Since when does anything the police do have to turn a profit?
Is that a serious question? It was implemented with a false premise. Everyone knows extending the amber cycle is safer. It may not have to turn a profit, but there's a reason people get more tickets at the beginning and end of a month. Quotas.
who thinks so what? I've been a Fedora user since core 5, but I'm on a single use box. Can't you just simply update all the UIDs to add # so they all start at 1000, or is this more complex than I think?
It would be a waste of time to go there within the near future. What we should do, is wait until we've mastered time travel, travel into the future for light-speed transportation, and hope we don't overshoot and end up when we've destroyed ourselves. Wait a second, why does that sounds like a cheesy sci-fi sitcom?

If it doesn't have that, I won't be getting it.

And anything they plan on doing in the future, because whoever is making managerial decisions there has a plan, and it isn't good.
/. was already removed from the internet. That's why no one is commenting.
Come to think of it, how did I get here? Where am I? I'm old.

It was hand drawn.

Ah ok. It disappeared from the stream, so I assumed they used it. Cheers.
