Yes, because if you come here from an RSS link and choose to go to the classic site, you're looped right back into beta. It's more than an annoyance and it took me a few tries befoer I figured out that I was better off cut and pasting the link in direct. I'm really starting to sour on the whole experience - and since 90% of what/. posts lately is stuff that I've already seen on a number of my source feeds, the only reason to come here is for the comments - whcih beta is making it hard to get to. Give it a rest Dice. Slashdot is never going to be a major profit center. Either give it up, or lose all readership.
all the articles would be lamenting how MS gave the kiddies the tools to hack. Maybe all these authors can get off their asses and instead of commenting how bad MS/Apple/Google/Samsung/Etc. are maybe they could do something of value to the effort themselves. Oh, that's right - it's much easier to write and point fingers.
No, banks are protected by the FDIC. Mt.Gox is like leaving your money under the mattress in a hotel and then expecting it to be there when you come back again.
I have a handlheld green light pen laser that runs off of two AAA cells and I can hit clouds quite easily. When demoing for friends I have to be particulary careful as my town is in the flight path of a major airport. I'm confident that if I wanted to (and I don't, of course) I could easily hit any one of the planes on approach.
Run by the townships communications/PR department. Not by the cop at the front desk who is going to look at you with a blank expression and say, "So what do you want us to do about it?" For a crime to be committed, the cops need to ascribe a dollar value to the stolen item. Having had my home broken into by a relative who took only mementos - irreplacable mementos - that had no real dollar value I can tell you first hand that they are not going to call out an APB for someone's Twitter handle. If you believe that they would, then I think you are the one living in a SNL skit.
Oh how I would love to be there to see the RCA Victor Dog expression on the Police face when he tries to describe what the 'stolen item' is. "Your what was stolen now? Your bird? What the hell is a Twittle?"
I wanted to dislike this movie, but it actually wasn't bad at all. It's even more intresting if you compare it to "Lost in Translation"; another movie about romance post separation. Intrestingly enough, these two movies were two different takes on the same subject matter by a former couple, Spike Jonze and Sofia Copolla. Viewed from that perspective the comparison is even more interesting.
of materials from verifiable and curated sources. Bring relevancy back to the library by making sure students understand that just because it's "on the Internet" that doesn't necessarily make it true. That's a place where books and encyclopedias still hold relevancy. Teach your students how to curate and verify their own sources so that when they DO have access, they know the difference. That will set them apart from the students from the 'higher-income' schools who were just turned loose on Google by some bored librarian who didn't care as much.
No one can 'spy' on you unless you invite them in. Google's not busting into your home and forcing you at gunpoint to install one of their thermostats. If you don't want to participate, then don't. But don't complain because others want to and because a company finds yet another avenue to generate a revenue stream. That's what their business model is all about.
No, blame the end user. That's what you get for licensing your virtual entertainment and not reading the terms. I *buy* my movies on *media I own* or stored on a server *I* control. If Disney wants my stuff, they have to come into the house and physically take it. And I think I can take Mickey.
Can you differentiate your accusations from what you accuse him of by included some citations. Not saying you're lying, but it would help your argument to provide some info to those of us unfamiliar with your claims. Otherwise it's no better than TFA.
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds like a round of "Is It Racist?"
And do what, pay back those taxi drivers that already bought their hack license? Sure, that'll happen. Cause the government loves to give back money.
Everyone should know by now that the only people who get rich in ANY LEGAL actions are the lawyers.
Fixed that for you.
All those years selling Windows and security was an after thought... Probably just doesn't wnat anyone taking pictures of that godawful Metro GUI.
And If you're looking for the Superintendant of the District: Bille Rondinelli, Superintendent brondinelli@southfayette.org
..no wait. Actually I totally enjoy saying it in this case.

but I can't feel bad for anyone that trusted a 'bank' called Mt. Gox or 'bankers' named PirateAt40.

+1 - (Never have the damn mod points when I need them!)
Thanks for an informative and lucid reply to an off handed comment.
>B of A and Target credit cards users are protected by Visa/MC/FDIC. Define 'protected'.

Allow anonymous comments, but then let NON anonymous member/moderators decide whether they are full of shit or not. You know, like we do here.
MOD +1 If you're going to copy and paste, at least take a look at context.
