Yes, this. I was going to suggest a campaign to overload their system with false positives but come to think of it this idea is pretty extremist and it is radicalising me into abusing their censorship system, so maybe it wouldn't be a *false* positive after all.
... and an essential Linux component has to be built from source.
They're expecting developers (the target audience) to *gasp* build something from source!!!
Knowledge of web development tools doesn't imply knowledge of native application development tools, nor vice versa.
For most Windows users with knowledge of web development tools I'd generally agree but I'd have thought most Linux users (with knowledge of web development tools) would be fine doing a quick configure/make/make install.
Fair enough, maybe they do have an ulterior motive, from TFA:
"Crowdsourcing the information related to these images is a fabulous approach to public engagement and one which other institutions - scientific or not - would be wise to follow.
"It engages public interest and imagination in a way that is interesting and exciting. It will also be a great exercise in demonstrating the power of crowdsourcing, possibly to an audience that has not experienced it before," she said.
How many people do you think worked at CERN between 1955 and 2005? How many of them (from the early days) have email addresses that CERN could contact them on, or would want to be contacted, given they're probably in their late 80s by now?
Don't forget that once Windows is installed and you've installed all your drivers you then have to update it!
If I install a Linux distro that came out, let's say, 5 months ago I'd expect that to take about 30 mins on a slow ADSL connection.
If I install a version of Windows that's 5 months old I'd expect it to take most of the day if not some of the next day!
Having said that I'd never install a version of Windows that's 5 months old, instead I would install a version of Win7 with the latest service pack streamlined in and it would STILL TAKE A WHOLE FU**ING DAY.
I wonder how many healthy camels live WILD in the middle east? If they weren't useful animals (to humans) I bet they'd be an endangered species.
It seems PETA won't be happy until they release all the cows, sheep, pigs, chickens etc into the wild to live a 'natural' life...
...where they will be killed by traffic or poachers or people who want to use their land for something else or real wild animals or starvation or natural f***ing selection because they've been bred to live in captivity for 100s of years.
I can't speak for the rest of the world but if there was no money to be made breeding cattle (for example) in the UK then cows would become extinct within a year.
Your average Linux desktop user has probably downloaded/installed a couple of bash updates in the last 48 hours, each one taking 5mins max.
Your average Apple user has downloaded/installed zero bash updates in the last 48 hours unless they first downloaded/installed 2.5GB of Xcode WTF. Even then they only got the same patches developed by the OSS/bash dev community.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the 'echo $0' indicate I'm logged into a bash shell? And the 'bash --version' shows the version of bash that's installed?
This was fixed for me yesterday (I think) as explained in my other post. So even if this patch isn't 100% at least there was something out within 24hrs.
FWIW, I use "hacker keyboard" on my Nexus 7 (7 inch screen), it has all the important stuff in landscape mode (Tab, Ctrl, Delete, cursor keys, number keys a la laptop KB and symbols in the same place just a shift away) and a more minimal layout in portrait mode. (fewer keys but bigger buttons).
You mean like the way the word hacker only means someone who cracks security, DRM etc? That's what it means to most people but it doesn't mean they are right or that we shouldn't try to educate them.
I'm not saying finding the Titanic wasn't important but archaeologically speaking it is far less important than the Mary Rose.
On the one hand we have the Titanic which sunk in 1912, we know virtually everything about, it's design, it's passenger list etc. Heck we even have film footage of it.
On the other hand we have the Marry Rose which sank in 1545 and (according to Wikipedia) "The surviving section of the ship and thousands of recovered artefacts are of immeasurable value as a Tudor-era time capsule. [...] The finds include weapons, sailing equipment, naval supplies and a wide array of objects used by the crew. Many of the artefacts are unique to the Mary Rose and have provided insights into topics ranging from naval warfare to the history of musical instruments.".
It's not even the biggest naval archaeological event since the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, how about the discovery of the Mary Rose, discovered in 1971.
I'm still trying to work out how to search for posts on the mobile/beta version of the website. So far the only option I can see is to 'Request Desktop Site' which gives me the original Slashdot.

Is it just me or does Albert Michelson look the spitting image of Bill Murray?

I submitted this story so maybe it's my fault but I'm pretty sure the BBC don't have scientists at CERN.

Camels have been bred, as a beast of burden, by humans since recorded history began. As far as we know a modern camel is as natural as a domestic dog.

By that rational ant hills don't exist in nature because the ants created them.

[T]he initial fix for the issue still left Bash vulnerable to attack
Please excuse me if I'm being a noob but, as recommended by this link, I tried the following commands on an up-to-date Debian Wheezy install:
So isn't the solution just an 'apt-get upgrade' away?

Either that or they decided this archaeological event wasn't important enough to bother with HD cameras.
As a native English speaker I disagree, it makes no sense and I certainly wasn't taught to use this language. Maybe it's an Americanism though...

The gene (called AMPK) is normal important as an energy sensor, usually triggered by cells with low energy levels.
As opposed to really important?
