It's a little more complex than that, but I'd say that's what it boils down to. There's all sorts of horrible stuff that gets mined along with the rare earths, much of it exceedingly hazardous.

Sure, it's ideal if you avoid all the pillaging, burning, raping, death and so on and so forth. Do get your point, but I think it's a little ... erm, disturbing.

They probably wouldn't no. However he's talking about humans alive today. Whilst I'm not really keen on this distant ancestral concept due to it essentially being a statistical trick, it's not unreasonable to assume that the descendants of

Doesn't sound to me like he's really suffering. Suffering requires someone to suffer. And no, to me this isn't really pedantry.

The issue is clearly not that they're tracking. The issue is that they're going to extremely devious lengths to prevent you from removing their ability to track you using standard tools. I've quite a few /etc/hosts entries, blocking third p

Not brilliant, but not rubbish. Pretty standard phrase, at least here in the UK.

An anonymous quote does not a compelling argument make.

Surely building the tower is going to offset a non-insignificant amount of it's CO2 'savings' vs Fossils?

And yet the great irony here is that by being idiots, they virtually guaranteed that someone with the means and time would go and do it. Exact same situation as the PS3 keys.

Does anyone have any real worthwhile info of this entire issue? All I've seen is the few incomprehensible technical arguments and then plenty of over-popularised articles like this one. I think it's obvious that LS can't go ahead if these p

No, it's completely right. If you're selling yourself to get free stuff, you should expect no privacy. I'm a 'fan' of privacy so to speak, but that's a basic fact which I don't see as something that can or perhaps even should be changed. Th

This is a complete non-story. Every Facebook profile is owned by an ad firm. Every Gmail account is owned by an ad firm. Every + account is owned by an ad firm. Every Yahoo Mail account is owned by a bit of an ad firm - ditto for Live. Gene

Or in completely tl;dr language: everything is the same except Ubuntu Flash is a pig.

Pretty simple really, at least in the UK. Just get someone to make an allegation against them (underage porn, etc), and their computers get seized. If the police just happen to discover a ton of other things they're really involved in whils

I'd have to agree. Even now I think that with time they will all be outed - if they've not already. Some of these 'raids' have just been too daring to expect to get away with forever.

If that works, you're my hero.

Can we have it the other way around?

More hassle than it's worth for public repos as compared to simply uploading to a random site or torrenting. As for private ones, no DMCA requests since they don't know about them.

They are mentioning something they've got though, in similar language to the pastebin. I think it unlikely they'd have managed to acquire the full census, but I think it's probably quite possible they've got ones submitted online.

If we're going to keep to narrow introvert/extrovert definitions here, then to an extrovert only is that rude. Personally I find small talk and social pleasantries little more than a way to waste time and pretend you care more than you real

I'd argue the intern part may not be necessary. If he has skills like he says, he could probably just about land a front-end web developer job for a few months with decent pay.

I can definitely associate with you on the learning side of things. The way I've come up with to do things is to, when I get an idea, sketch down a plan for an app/piece of code/whatever on some paper, draw up a basic design if it'll be nee

Publish it's databases, in so doing likely revealing the private details of 400-600 million people and possibly giving enough details to hack/trick into their bank accounts without any problems? After all, a lot of people do fill out the da

I very much have to agree. Perhaps I'm unsociable, perhaps it's because my interests long since diverged from those of most of my now-ex fellow students, but I really couldn't give a flying monkeys about most of their inane ramblings. To us

Sounds a lot like my thoughts on hosting. To me, a good provider isn't necessarily the one with the best 2-second-reply support. To me, it's the provider where unless you're running a really high traffic complex site you pretty much never n

Same annoyances with computers in general. You're urgently downloading a huge uncompressed PSD a client sent you ... and all of a sudden something you can't find the name of without buying a third-party app suddenly start hogging the networ

Does that mean that going for a vacation and writing part of a book during it is probably not allowed under visa waiver? Fail...

I'd say that's neither surprising nor something to be annoyed about. It's the developers who should know better, and their responsibility alone to inform management about why.

Such divisions rarely will actually occur to someone considering whether to use a Sony product. More generally though, I question that most people are going to think about this too much before buying - they'll think more about the downtime.
