You are thinking back to a time in warfare, where men only went to the front lines. Albeit this was recently. In the type of modern warfare we have going on in the middle east, there is no front line, or everything is the front line - however you want to think of it. So since you obviously some how managed to miss it, over the last few years women have more then proven themselves quick witted, well equipped front line soldiers. So yes, they need a special gun to be all the more effective. Deal with it already. If you need citations for all this. Google is your friend.
How can clients recover from forgotten passwords. I'm not saying that using the standard practice of implementing a mechanism whereby a user can reset their own password based on their username and email address is perfectly secure - nothing is - but under no circumstances should a password be retrievable in that manner. Also, the act of a self service password reset should instantly nuke the old.
I remember that once upon a time I used Gnome 2 for a very long time. It was my definitive go to DE. Now this is my opinion, but in the years that followed, the usefulness of DEs took a nose dive into (not always but still crap) bloated garbage with "enhancements" over previous versions of you name it. I spent years hopping from one DE to another, version after version hoping to find something lightweight and that I could actually be productive in. Pantheon and XFCE come close, but aren't my cup of tea for various reasons. Anyway, I've tried them all repeatedly over the years. As someone who spends most of their time working across multiple terminals it occurred to me, "Do I really need a full DE?" A couple of months ago I took the plunge and dived into Awesome Window Manager - most assuredly not a DE. I am absolutely in love with it and now wonder how anyone survives without a tiling window manager.
Typically, I am one of the few that days does not complain when Slashdot makes changes. However, as of this last change they have gone too far.
Slashdot, on top of the gripe that I am replying to, please remove that chat bubble from the story title line and restore the "Read More" link to it's proper place. I am not saying you can't have a prominent social networking link, I am saying put more thought into where it should go. Seriously, please backtrack on this one.
I have been thinking for awhile about building a house out in the country and not bothering to have it connected to the grid. My first thought was to go with a whole lot of solar panels and a couple giant propane tanks with a gas generator. Still, that is a lacking setup, but these batteries just might make the difference. I would probably buy more than one of whatever the top of the line battery would be. Of course, I have already checked the availability of water in the areas I have been considering.
Throw in a couple substantially less hydrogen fuels cells to take over in the event I loose power and I might seriously go through with it.
I think the idea here is that we have only recently achieved the energy density needed from lithium ion batteries for this to be practical. This could not have been accomplished in 1999 - or at least it would have been a lot more heavy.
Why are they trying to drum up demand when they are obviously overwhelmed with demand,can't make nearly enough of the damned things after 6 months or more of round-the-clock production?
I think that's kind of the whole point. I mean we are here talking about it after all. I think there is an economic term for the practice, anyone care to enlighten?
If you are new around here and plan on coming back I suggest you spend quite awhile looking over stories and their comments from years past. This place has it's own... You'll figure it out.
Right now we have the multitudes running a conglomerate combination of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 - I imagine all of these operating system, and remember when we had a single MS OS shared among all people business and personal alike. Part of the appeal of XP was that you could depend on finding it anywhere and everywhere and nearly exclusively. Microsoft has too much out there - and this includes their server offerings - and I strongly suspect MS is working toward that lost, uniform ubiquity that they had with Windows XP. Again, I'm a long time MS basher, but I think giving them a post-Ballmer chance is fully in order. I expect a lot of them over the next few short years, and that includes a single OS to rule them all..
When business first encountered Windows 8\8.1 the resistance has been high with people falling back to Windows 7... Understandably. I've been using Windows 10 from the earliest builds. It was clear from early on: they wanted to appeal to business and consumers with a single, and long term, solution like they had with XP. When it was Windows XP, it was Windows XP for all. This is what Microsoft wants to return to. I am sure there are domain policies you can issue to configure what "start" does and does not do. I think Microsoft might hit their stride with Windows 10. This is signed a long time MS\Windows hater.
Or they simply transfer the data to the NSA for safe keeping after the two years are up. Perhaps a bit pessimistic, but at the same time it would not be a surprise.
I have an old Optiplex 280 and 270 running FreeBSD and Debian servers respectively. They are also stacked. When I turn them on, they quickly outpace any space heater. A couple of unusually cold winters ago, I used them just for that.
Form the first time on Slashdot it can be said, "You must be new around here." and actually meant. If civil discourse dominates your threads, you need to lower your threshold.
I was thinking more like intersolar trade. Water goes on giant ships to the moon every so often, and helium-three comes back. If it turns out to be to impractical to colonize distant worlds for a very long time, we must assume the colonization of the solar system works out barring we don't set ourselves back or completely annihilate ourselves, this could start to take shape in a century or so. Different places in the solar system have different resources, ships sharing resources would need to be in constant transit.
The black hole in question is eating matter near the rate of what is theorized to be the limit of how fast a black hole can consume matter. We've really never seen anything like it. ~875,000,000 is very young for such a structure to be so big in a universe that young. Anyway, when it is said that it is the brightest object in that part and time of the universe, we are speaking of the "extra bright" event horizon: the point where matter is super heated before tumbling into the singularity itself. Since it's all one dense gravitationally bound structure, the event horizon is part of the whole. The great part of this discovery is that it allows us to take a peek at ratios of elements such as hydrogen and helium relative to heavier elements in a still pretty young universe.
We've been following the development of this sort of technology here on Slashdot for a long time for sure. In fact, I find this area of research and development to be among the most fascinating of our time and am course always glad to see people getting help from them. However, I won't be truly impressed until someone can peel the Orange away with the bionic hand using nothing more then the same part of our brain that we would use to control that function in the first place. Perhaps the next time a story like this gets posted.

Allow me to correct this part of your question:

I'm not saying that using the standard practice of implementing a mechanism whereby a user can reset their own password based on their username and email address is perfectly secure - nothing is - but under no circumstances should a password be retrievable in that manner.

Who say that Lessig's campaign will only open the White House to a republican president. You are probably right.
All the same, here is to hoping that those posts equate to Roblimo's post about the first iPod and what actually followed. Well, so to speak.
I would mod this insightful if I could.
Funny enough, I was discussing that very same matter with a co-worker last Friday.

i3 is really nice too, but I settled on Awesome.

Or at the very least only raises more.
1. How big is the asteroid?
2. What is it made of?
3. How fast is it traveling?
4. How far away from the Earth was it when first detected?
I would say we would need to have many different strategies in place based on a mix of those variables.

It was actually pretty good, but had nothing whatsoever to do with aliens. It was pretty much just a murder mystery.
Never say never. We are a notoriously persistent species. If we manage to survive our adolescence, living on Mars will be a cakewalk.

That's great but how about sustaining human life? These could be great jumping off places for solar system colonization.
