“The Anonymous protests for the most part work by having a lot of people send a lot of commands to a website, that it can’t handle so many requests. This is equivalent of a crowd of people going to the door of a building and having a protes

Actually this is something that I've ran into with my girlfriend. We both work in multinationals that have offices close to each other so we leave and come together. Her boss is in another country and doesn't enforce a starting hour for her

Only that you'll have to correct this more and more in time because earth's second isn't constant (actually this is exactly why they started to use the leap second). So why do it? Just to get a /Universal/ time in sync with Earth?

Then if that's the case it'll show that there /is/ a profitable market for this and someone will surely pick up the ball.

I guess Google learned from the patent war on smartphones and they'll be better prepared against the auto industry.

I guess if that LCD can handle touch then it'll be just a big tablet where Android is more useful.

I feel this is only a symptom of a social change. We don't value hard work anymore. Everyone pushing for college degree has watered down the meaning of college graduate. For every one that actually wanted to earn it and learn there lots mor

I didn't see your post. Just signed up for the waiting list. But the thing is that if it takes to long people will lose interest, though I have to admit the name/domain is catchy.

If Facebook or someone else is unhappy with this they can just make their own search engine. I don't see an issue with Google promoting another Google product on it's own search page.

To be honest I believe this was true in the past as well. People will read one specific newspaper because of one journalist. Somewhere along the way people stopped doing this and it's become more easy to observe this with the advent of the

He does say that java isn't his language of choice, but it's one he has to stick with. But if you've got a CS course as introductory to programming than his assignments go a long way to learning stuff. Bear in mind that this is not a class

I'm trying to switch to a Slackware environment with Fluxbox running in the front. I've used Ubuntu for years, but realized that I had huge gaps about actual Linux knowledge because I was so used to the automation that Ubuntu provides. Also

I'm the only one seeing this as the announcement of RIMs downfall? One of the things that really held BBs still going was that it's in almost all corporate environments. But I think a lot of users will jump ship after this. At this point RI

The ones with back-light are really helpful if you want to read in low-light. Generally those are the ones that cost more. If you do such things than they become quite useful. I own one and I use it all the time. It's way better than turnin

But the law is the law, not something very similar. Especially things like court orders.

The flaw with your argument is that by not stopping it here it'll snowball and affect more systems, more countries etc. This should be stopped now, otherwise France will be next then Germany than US and all of a sudden we'll all move to Chi

And when they only accept Paypal? What do yo do then? I don't care if I have backups. Such a termination of services and further purging of data is a big no-no in my books.

I don't need to know his arguments. His actions speak louder than any of his words. I actually like their idea. If he bombed because he wanted people to read it, then by tainting any copy Anonymous can make sure that he has failed.

Truth be told, the article doesn't say how well they work at night. I don't think that it'll work just as good, but that doesn't mean it won't work at all.

But isn't Google subject to American laws, being an American based company? I'm just asking, I don't have experience in these type of legal matters, but it seems to me that they are supposed to do that.

This is most likely an automated trigger that blocked & scheduled for deletion that account. Even for a company as big as Google it's impossible to have these type of things reviewed by humans. What I do hope is that they'll create a ch

Actually it's called "20 minutes with my ChromeBook" and I haven't seen anything that suggests a full review. But it was interesting to read through someones first impressions.

I don't think they're 15, they're to articulate for that age. But I don't think they above 30 either.

This has been discussed before, I believe, back when someone notified Facebook that a page violates copyrights. FB took down that page without checking for facts and told the owner of the page that he has to resolve the issue with the one t

Just received their e-mail and my first reaction was that it was spam, but on further reading I was convinced it's genuine. At least they're transparent about what happened.

I'm living in one that wasn't part of the Soviet Union but the damage is done anyway. The thug mentality rules our contry (Romania). Maybe I was generalizing when I said post-communism countries. There are exception, but the rule is that mo

The attitude in communist countries after the Fall resembles so much to the one in "Atlas Shrugged" that it's scary. Goverment really is one big thug who will only steal. Nice countries, but it's a shame that there are people living in them
