I'm glad again that Riverbend is out of Iraq now after anonymously using Blogger for four years. Considering the danger that revealing her IP would have entailed is pretty frightening.
This also means that, evil or not, we should rely on Google at most for easy access to information, not for our privacy. Bloggers in countries with dangerous censorship laws rather need to be informed about and able to access anonymizing services like Tor.
I would say that the Danish PIs are either the result of complete cluelessness (hey, Old European geography isn't so widely taught, is it?) or - what I find more likely - a deliberate stunt.
Foreign license plates, flash photography - this is not the best covert investigation money can buy. I think they want to be noticed.
Not only is the optimal speed for achieving melody road playback a mere 28mph
And behold; we've solved the problem of speeding inside urban areas.
Except that everyone outside the car experiences the tone as a standing noise (or a tiny snatch of a melody), which is repeated whenever cars go over the road. I dare say you could go stark raving mad if you lived next to something like that.
From context I assume it is a very impulsive and unprofessional employer who keeps saying "you're fired" by way of criticizing without meaning it. Personally, I wouldn't stay there.
This is the first time I've been angry at the Slashdot editors (so I'm kind of a newbie). The title of this article is not only misleading but a bald lie. A federal court barred its own ministry from violating your privacy.
As an example of what other laws have to be followed by the government, but not by its citizens, look no further than website accessibility. Have you ever been told that your blog (or even your online shop) was violating the law because its horrendous HTML+Javascript doesn't even show up on lynx, let alone screen readers or Braille displays? (Assuming for the moment this is true, which it hopefully isn't.) Government websites have to follow accessibility standards for disabled viewing.
"If they allow it, we become a surveillance state, if they outlaw it, we become a police state." This stance is ludicrous - decide! If you are a privacy advocate, this article is one of the ones you cheer about, not rant about encroaching fascism.
Not all news posted under YRO conclude that the world is sliding towards fascism. There are actually things to cheer about, and this is one of them. It is good when the government is not allowed to log your IP.
One would hope that, 2,000 years from now, our descendants will all look back at Sputnik and see it as a great triumph of all mankind, not just the accomplishment of one tribe trying to best another.

If some random guy walked up to a woman at an art exhibit, and decided to bond by saying, "I can't believe the artist chose to portray such a fat, disgusting woman. I bet she can't ever reach her vagina," I would be kicked out of the establishment.
Even though you had nothing to do with it? That sounds very unfair!

Duh. That's what encryption is supposed to do.
Screw those nosy spooks. I'd like go to this demonstration tomorrow if I had the time.

+5 Insightful. What a pity my mod points expired yesterday.
Is it working? In the US, I mean?
In Japan did Scott McNealy

Yeah, lame.

Yeah right, the military budget could sure use a boost. It's not as if trillions of it are already being spent on occupyi-- oh wait.

Ahem: Imagine a Beowulf----
Oh wait.
After reading the summary, I am not quite clear on who sued whom, who infringed whose patent and who the, ah, "good guys" are here.
I know, RTFA. But the summary could be a bit clearer.
Wow, I had no idea. That *is* bad.
Does it come with two buttons?
I just read the same story - definitely one of my favorite out of his shorts!
Five years is pretty impressive considering that the name Firefox didn't exist until three years ago. :P
Sure you are willing to extend that amount of trust to a robot without the Laws?

Could it reach 5 Gigalols?
(Wait, make that 5 Gigagroans.)

Quick - someone tell the Chinese that Bush called them all a bunch of slit-eyed Japs!
As if he anticipated it being the second to last...?
Does it come with an "Eviscerate" command as well? There would be a high demand for pwning annoying coworkers via remote control.
