Any particular texts you'd recommend for finding out more? I didn't know that the Senators couldn't visit Egypt for those reasons and would love to read more on the subject!
For all the complaints about Facebook posts on Slashdot, I really find it useful that someone is keeping tabs on the site that I have open every time the browser is open, posting the most recent scandals, news, and peer-reviews of the newly released features.I don't subscribe to Facebook's update blog and most of the
The only reason I ever knew about Beacon back in the day was because of Slashdot's coverage of the story. The legal issues surrounding the ownership of Facebook have been interesting to track constantly, because Slashdot often has the daily posts of relevant updates to the cases without having to Google it to find out what's changed in the legal cases. New privacy features (or their loss) are extremely important to know about, and I've valued having it brought to the public eye so quickly by having it posted to the main page of Slashdot.
(And by the way for anyone willing to respond, what became of Beacon? Did it transmute into their current information harvesting, or was it abandoned?)

Have Google sweeten the pot with a fiber optic rollout to the town free of charge - you might have tech startups move into the town that could find uses for nuclear wastes and produce something useful with it, with all the added publicity for the town, the site, and the arrival of a highly-touted ISP program.
I want to ask this of the community:
We regularly see stories about Facebook and I imagine we will see many more about Google+ about how there are privacy issues that affect millions of users, above and beyond the natural scope of simply sharing your information on your profile. I understand that on a social networking site, one setting/bug will be simultaneously affecting hundreds of thousands to millions of users. As someone with some programming experience, but nothing nearly as complex as this - is there something inherently really complex about how these sites are interfacing the profiles with each other that makes them harder to design the security for, insofar as a bug like this isn't a simple fix or would pop up in so many different circumstances that it would be hard to plan for?
Feedback appreciated!
It seems like a social network has some good infrastructure to run a campaign with a pencil and paper style game - has anyone seen any of these incorporated into their social network of choice? The ability to talk with friends in tandem with the ability to push out posts to any device, be it computer or cellphone, seems like it would be an easy way to both log your session, craft the literary details of your world, and also to keep everyone in the game in sync with where the story/party is in. Does anyone run these, or have you heard of them being used this way? I'd love to have some names dropped if you do!
This comes from a lack of understanding of the field, but can someone explain to me what happens before and after, when transmitting data? The last I worked on hardware was with serial UARTs, so is someone willing to take a moment to explain better or to point me in the right direction to find more information on how it works?
The data is encoded into beams of light and transmitted from point to point. Upon "re-entry" into system at the end point, how is the information gathered and processed internally from this point? Does this rate of transmission get matched or have comparable mechanisms internal to the system? If data is moving at 26 Tbps, is it processed at anything even remotely similar, or does it fill a massive buffer?
Much appreciated!
Can someone riddle me this, but is there any way to conclusively prove that you don't own the DVD and that the torrented version was your backup/alternative form, or are you only permitted your *own* backup if you do it yourself? Can you not walk into a Walmart and purchase the DVDs and claim that you were simply using a more accessible form because say, perhaps, your Blu-Ray Disc player didn't play nicely with your disc, and that you had owned it prior to the infraction?
There's footage on YouTube of a tigress that has nursed baby piglets, and another tigress that killed a babboon and then groomed and cared for the baby babboon it discovered in the tree. There's a head-scratcher for you.
They aimed for shorter lifespans and got longer ones. In hindsight, they realized they must've put a decimal in the wrong place or something. These are not mundane details!
Theirs will be. Ours won't.
When your medium is the sum total of all contributions and all potential contributions from any human being on the globe, you're working against a resource the likes of which has never been seen before and that we're continuously finding new ways to exploit. Parts of it are static enough to control or influence strongly, but the medium as a whole is moving in unpredictable ways and the tighter they squeeze, the more domains will slip through their fingers.

Flerovium? I vote a rename in favor of Wonderflonium.
Do you know *anything* about Facebook's revenue stream?
Tell us Mr. Zuckerberg, what does manflesh taste like?

Man, that is exactly the metric I needed to make that comparison useful to me, an airplane landing light -_-...
Then, quite appropriately...OMG GLOWING PONIES!
Pssshhh, Nathan Fillion could've solved this in 45 minutes plus commercial breaks.

Dear Public,
Your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter, email, text, social history, phone list, SMS correspondence, and IM logs.
Love, Mark
