No, they're not an aggregate. What slashdot does is completely different from Gizmodo. Gizmodo tries pull out 20% of the info claims it as their own story and sticks a "via via" link down at the bottom and then promotes those stories as their own. They do everything possible to pretend they wrote it while doing the bare minimum to give credit to where it came from.
We only have Gizmodo's word for that. This is a site that seems to specialize in stealing stories from others to generate ad revenue. Other than this iphone crap, 9 out of 10 front page gizmodo stories are via via stories. When I saw these stories I was shocked to learn that Gizmodo actually made their own content.
They also claimed this guy's facebook app was on there and logged in. Did he try calling any numbers listed "home", "parents"? Publicly naming the guy was a dick move, and as others have pointed out they have more options to try and return it.
My 17" laptop display has a native resolution of 1920x1200, but I've got to go to like a 23" desktop display to get the same? any 20" desktop display I've been looking at here in Korea doesn't go above 1600x900 or 1050 (depending on the aspect ratio) I've been using this laptop for years and I'd appreciate keeping the same resolution when I finally change back to a desktop, but I don't want to have to put some honking monitor on my desk that is going to take half the thing up.
Whose line is it anyway often did that. Weird Al also always asks permission and won't put it on his CD if asked not to (in the case of pitiful, but he released that for free since Blunt was okay with it but his label wasn't)
Just because they got 6.8% of the vote doesn't mean they actually affected anything. Correlation doesn't equal causation. The environment is an issue that transcends the green party it is a media heavy topic that is constantly being discussed. File sharing in a positive sense is not. While occasionally discussed, it is usually done in a negative sense. Green is sexy, being on the side of file sharers isn't. Let's also keep in mind it took them 24 years to get to 6.8% of the vote.
The Green platform is also much bigger than the Pirate one. It affects more of people's lives and more people are genuinely interested in it. While there are a lot of file sharers in Canada, people for some reason seem to care very little for it. You bring up some of the things that are going on that Geist is talking about and the average person really had no idea about it. File sharing isn't a media friendly topic (unless it is for promoting big business) so it won't get the attention the environment does.
How? They don't do anything because they have no real stance on anything but their niche. The few people genuinely interested in that niche take them seriously, the rest ignore them. The green party hasn't even managed to get a seat yet. Unless all the hardcore pirates move to a single riding these guys will never get a seat and will never matter. Would you actually want a government run by the pirate party? Free files for everyone else? Defense? Just download it! What do you mean we can't download it?
It is based on media reports and government reports, not observation of a single school. The problem of high schoolers not sleeping and spending all night studying is a country wide problem repeatedly covered in the media.
you really are in training. Any account you create on a website in Korea is verified against the real name database run by the government, the phone has to match that same name and number, it is an extra step against ensuring against theft or "borrowing". To start with, there are no GSM phones in Korea (you're on the internet, would have taken you a short time to check that) While Korea is very wired, they're way behind on that. The only phones that come with SIM cards are dual mode phones that are marketed as "international" phones that allow for roaming and other use in GSM countries. In addition to that, you can't walk into a shop and buy a prepaid phone here. You need ID which is verified before the phone is sold and activated. That ID, which includes a photo, is checked against the government database. But the original poster's point was about generating numbers which is utterly useless. Years ago Korean sites used to just look for patterns and allow creation. These days they actually verify against the database. You can't fake a number. If you got a hold of a KSSN card and a less than reputable dealer you might be able to create a cell phone in that person's name to fake an account but that is a lot of work to get on an MMORPG and if caught (say through your IP address), it's a minimum $10,000 fine.
So short of hacking the government database, there is no way to fake a number into the system and short of finding a criminal cell phone dealer (who wouldn't last long, they'd know who made the phone), you wouldn't be able to fake an account on most sites in Korea. There are a few sites which don't need cell phone verification still, so you could on those, but as it becomes more prevalent, that will also decline. Real name verification is pretty serious business in Korea.
In the off-chance you're not a useless a troll, in firefox: view->character encoding->Korean (UHC) will show it properly. But unless you can read Korean it isn't much different.
If it isn't on the list right away, go to more encodings, east asian, and find that one.
You've never been to Korea. 6 hours of sleep for a high school student would be luxurious. Most of them only sleep 4. They're often studying until about 2 am and up at 6.
There were also a number of government sites wide open you could google to get KSSNs, while I was still living back in the west I googled one up to get access to a couple games. it seemed like it was a health care site or something. They've since closed that down, no longer displaying the full ID number. Now that I'm here I just use a friend's ID who doesn't play video games.
Generate them all day. it won't do you any good. Your name and the number is verified against the database. Any site which implements this system (which is all of them) must actually connect to the government database to verify. You also often have to verify your account with an SMS message to a cellphone registered in the same name. You cannot fake them. you can steal them, but you cannot fake them. So yes, they're completely worthwhile for verification. Other than people using stolen/borrowed ones, they know who everyone is.
This article is all over the place. They write the guys name a couple ways. The one under the picture is the more correct romanization, and yes it should refer to suspects. The papers often print the names of convicted people here.
For us techies there might be a way around this, but ordinary VCR enthusiasts and owners of other recorders are left in the dust. Anyone know a good antitrust lawyer?
I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that kdawson might have changed his name... it seems strange that all that kdawson used to be every story and now that I don't see him anymore timothy seems to be here. And every time I read a story and go "Goddammit kdawson" and then look at the summary it says "timothy".
I can't imagine that many "techies" who would still use a VCR (and yes you few outliers who are going to reply and regale us with tales of how you use a VCR powered by maggots and compost are excepted)
what is with the sensationalist talk of antitrust lawyers. Is there a clause in your user agreement that states you must be provided with channel switching capabilities that go on forever?
Czjzek's team compared the microbial genomes of 13 Japanese people with those of 18 North Americans. Five of the Japanese subjects harbored the enzyme, but among the North Americans, "we didn't find a single one," says Czjzek, whose team reports its findings tomorrow in Nature.
such a big sample size, how could they possibly be wrong..
An online game requiring you to be logged in and have a subscription is "draconian DRM"? How else would you do it? Would you prefer they release the game for free? Sure, we all want every company to give everything away for free. It isn't going to happen.
They provide a monthly service, which requires you be logged in. It doesn't require you install drivers, sweet talk a CD, or sacrifice a chicken. Nothing draconian about that.

actually it's not piracy until you pull up beside them and board them.

This is the same website that bans you if they think you've commented too quickly on a video. If they didn't have ZP, I'd never go there.

They've never gotten a single seat.

Don't both.

Most students don't get home from school until 10:30 pm. They go straight from public school to private academies all night.
You've never been to Korea. 6 hours of sleep for a high school student would be luxurious.
Most of them only sleep 4. They're often studying until about 2 am and up at 6.
Accounts require real name verification here. There is no making multiple accounts unless you steal/borrow someone's ID and usually cell phone.
There were also a number of government sites wide open you could google to get KSSNs, while I was still living back in the west I googled one up to get access to a couple games. it seemed like it was a health care site or something.
