If, however, you mean he doesn't allow users to edit content in a collaborative, possibly vandalous way, then yes, I'd agree to that. Bear in mind that you're applying Wikipedia standards, which are pretty much unique to Wikipedia and its derivatives.
erm. Wikis pre-date Wikipedia by a number of years and Wikipedia is more controlled than the early ones where anybody could edit anything anonymously. Right now some Wikipedia pages can't be edited anonymously and it's not unusual for a page to be completely locked for a period of time.
The UK is probably the worst place you could choose for saying mean things about people and so forth.
I know, which is why I pay a regular monthly fee to a non-profit that lobbies to protect online rights and freedoms, and regularly write to my MP in an attempt to educate him and the Government on the damage they're doing.
Orbital hosting will be along in the next decade, that'll be an interesting one..
At least we can put to bed the suggestion that yeseterday's story was a hoax.
Next can we please retrieve ICANN from US control and cut off the US DNS masters? I think it's pretty clear they can't be trusted to run the internet:(
I change my mind as I learn more and my general outlook evolves. I've watched the video and it clearly shows acts that break international law.
As for the rifles, you think it's uncommon for journalists to have an armed escort in many parts of the world? You think it's illegal to own a rifle in Iraq? You shoot anybody carrying a gun as a matter of principle?
Your attempts to justify a deliberate, callous and at times juvenile act of violence discredit you, albeit not as much as your apparent defense of torture.
Torture is wrong[tm] and counter-productive (in a number of dimensions) which is why even the CIA handbook said not to use it.
If you're a former marine then you've been trained badly and should be assumed to have no fucking clue how to operate in a hostile civilian population. That specific issue was identified prior to the Iraq invasion and was a clear cause of much of the subsequent civil unrest.
Try putting your own life on the line and stop shooting fucking civilians you cowardly piece of shit. Or get the fuck out of a country you have no legitimate purpose in and stop trying to justify your illegal acts there.
Actually you bought the science for the bomb. To claim sole credit would at best be naive and disingenous. The UK handed over a ton of material, and gave access to the Germans and their research.
You did however indeed win WWII. Shame you bought that victory with European and Russian and Japanese lives, but your assistance was noted and appreciated.
Although traditionally it is common for people on Slashdot to ask "Do you have any references for that unlikely and troll-like statement of alleged fact you just surprised me with?" and [Citation Needed] is a de facto way of expressing such sentiments for illiterate and lazy people.
Four people can pack 8lb of explosives* and although I'm sure it'll be uncomfortable, if you're willing to die I'm sure a few hours of sitting uncomfortably isn't going to be an issue.
Be wary of queues for the in-flight toilet...

The wikipedia page mentions his reputation for fanatical zeal and mentions his role in the Spanish Inquisition; he's a bit of a "public face of the worse excesses of the inquisition". No idea whether that's justified or not but frankly he's been dead for half a millenia so I'm not too fussed.
Slashdot Mirror
Wiki derives from Wiki Wiki which in Hawaii means 'quick': http://c2.com/doc/etymology.html
The first Wiki was called the WikiWikiWeb (amongst other names).

Wikileaks is not acting like a wiki.
I would argue that sure, the USA probably is better than other countries
By which metric?
Quality of life? Nope.
Longevity? Nope.
Equality? Nope.
Education? Nope.
Health? Nope.
International sports? Nope.
Look, the USA does do some good stuff, but is it better than other countries? It's better than some at some stuff, but.. Nope.
There's no reason you couldn't have a backpack mounted mortar tube with electronic guidance on the projectile.
Sit down, lean forwards, press 'Go'.
Of course you'd need to make the firing tube project up past the head to avoid a comedy beheading as you fire..
I concur. Pithy, accurate, succinct and to the point.
Shit, if you go around making stupid statements don't expect me to put a lot of effort into correcting them.
Only the power of the state is sufficient to qualify as censorship.
That's nonsense.
Odd, I'd assumed they were ads provided through Google's mobile ads service which embeds ads into otherwise free applications from the appstore.
But my Android phone is currently with an iPhone developer so I can't check directly..
Windows Phone 7 isn't Windows 7.
I strongly suspect Apple would be very welcome to write a version of iTunes for Windows Phone 7. They already have a version for Windows 7.
Thank you ORG - I'm delighted that the Open Rights Group are actively campaigning on this issue.
Interesting. What aspects of their driving cause you such concern?
Btw,odd moderation on this thread!
Yeah, but he's Finnish. That means he was taught to drive properly in real life, even if he never went racing.
Knowing how to properly control a car plus knowing the track inside out means he had a pretty good start point, as proven by the actuality.

Hang on. You're suggesting that access to software running on the most popular home OS ever is a bad thing?
I'll accept that the base of software supporting touch-screen input is lower, but I don't see many two-screen apps for the iPad either..

Hell, the EU has nuclear weapons
Joyfully the EU does not. It's bad enough that the French do, but putting nukes under centralised European control? That'd be nasty.
Of course not, Slashdot is and always will be user contributions of expressed views and opinions. Facts or not this is not an encyclopedia.

Not to mention co-conspirators.

If you're male and you see a naked woman (when you haven't seen many) you are going to feel something, no matter how you are raised.
Bored? Disinterested? Ambivalent?
May just be me, but either a woman is attractive to me or she isn't. Fully dressed or naked doesn't actually matter.
(Partially dressed is a whole other story, and don't even mention paraphilias..)
Actually... outside of the bedroom (or whereever you prefer to do it), what do adults do that kids should be excluded from?
Make complicated decisions that have severe health or financial implications.
Such as driving a car, consuming vast quantities of vodka and working for a living.
Sometimes all at once.
If they're pigs, absolutely. Pigs taste good. Baby pigs taste good and are soooo tender.
Or.. he may have the daddy of all surveillance systems.
