Fun fact: you can write the word "ass" on Slashdot and they won't censor you. Or if you're that averse to the word in the first place, choose a different fucking word.
"Rupert Murdoch has elaborated on the direction he would take in an effort to monetize the content that his websites deliver by attempting to block much of Google's ability to scan and index his news sites."
This is not what the linked article says. Rupert Murdoch may be a douchebag, but don't adopt his "news" organization's penchant for distortion.
Actually, it sounds as if MS is being proactive in protecting end users from remote exploits. I applaud this bold move to completely shut out the internet before it can hurt you.
1.x 2.x 3.x (and WFW, still 3.x) 95 (I believe this is where they merged the NT kernel) 98 ME XP 2K3 Vista Win "7" (10th iteration)?
OK, leaving out 1.x and 2.x (3.x was where most people started after DOS...were 1 & 2 ever even released to consumers?) and NT = v4 as not generally available to home users, Windows "7" should still be #8. Did MS disown ME? I would.
I still have two enormous notebooks full of math notes from the classes I took...and I finished school some 13 years ago. Remind me why you need this information on the laptop, again?
And when we send a letter in the mail, it physically resides at a postal facility, postal airplane, postal truck, and in the postal worker's mail bag. When we call someone, our voice data is most certainly stored on a large number of phone switches and switch modules while it's being encoded, multiplexed and the reverse at the far end. So it's good to know the government won't need to notify subscribers.
TFA is not accessible at the moment, so all this may have already been addressed there.
Giganews doesn't discriminate against you based on what country you're in (even on suspicion, like hulu is doing). Even better, you can get your TV shows without the forced advertising.
"if you lock the very reinforced flight door from the crew side and both crewmembers die or become incapacitated, you're pretty much screwed"
As I recall, those doors are secured by 6-pin Medeco Biaxials (disclaimer: I haven't flown in about a decade). Very hard to pick, but doable (and usually easier to bypass). So if everyone would just buy some picks and start practicing, we'll be in good shape. Also practice landing planes. Just in case.
"The main reason that population control goes all wacky, is when you run the numbers, EVERY man, woman and child could live in the state of Texas, with NOBODY else on the planet... and that is with everyone having about 1200 sq ft around them.

An individual human needs more than 1200 square feet of space just to sustain life. Your argument is ridiculous, and I suspect you pasted it from the internets. Consider checking snopes.com before posting again.
Slashdot Mirror
Why, it's almost as though consumer video recording devices didn't kill the industry at all. How strange.
Maybe it's one of those violent kids' games that let you pluck spider legs off.
If there's one thing kids are good at, it's considering their future.
"and have them forcefully remove those files."
Yeah, good luck with that.
As opposed to all the racially-sensitive, politically correct neonazis out there?
Nonsense! What could be more sexy than rock-hard tits that don't move?
"If executed by the user"
We're done here. Next time try a remote exploit requiring no user action. They do exist.
Evil, meet Evil. I think you two will get along just great.

"Eventually, your sea slug will act just like a real one does when the liquid it swims in is molten Sodium"
Well shit, I can model that right now. Probably in about 10 lines of code. And I'm not even a programmer! Wait, here it is in one (8086 assembly):
NOP
More accurate: "Successful Brazilian voting machine hackers stay quiet, wait for election day."

Yes, I meant 2K, not 2K3 (which is, like NT 4.0 and below, not really a "home user" OS). And I probably should have put it before XP.
Windows iterations:
1.x
2.x
3.x (and WFW, still 3.x)
95 (I believe this is where they merged the NT kernel)
98
ME
XP
2K3
Vista
Win "7" (10th iteration)?

They aren't setting precedent.
"What's the difference?"
McCain's veep was hotter. Maybe crazier too, but that goes with the territory.

See, Diebold? It's not so hard.

I notice your co-worker's response did nothing to refute your comment. It doesn't matter what the kid did to provoke the dog.
