Honestly I'm a bit surprised that Slashdot would allow this sort of trolling spittle to make the front page. I mean... this is Slashdot and not Gizmodo, right? Or do you all have the same parent company now? Hard to remember these days. Apple had server/cloud issues last night. They're well documented. They're not the first tech company to have them. But this *story* reads more like a pre-teen's whining drivel vs a story with relevance that people should actually comment on.

I experienced the same issue this morning after upgrading, but the System Prefs prompted to re-enter the password. I did so and a Safari link opens up that asks for your Gmail password, then Gmail sends you a code you enter to confirm. It works after that. I believe this is only affecting Gmail users that don't have 2FA setup or those that previously used one-time codes for application access in Google.

I just watched The Circie on Amazon over the Christmas weekend... this is basically what was proposed in the movie but in terms of voting...

And also for dashcams with cloud support!!! I had the Onstar LTE trial for the few 3 months I had the truck. My Blackvue dashcam burned through 4Gb in about 2 weeks on a road trip. With this, I can still let my dashcam upload and still have my shared data plan for my phones.

Because kids. And better reception. We're on a shared data plan. Road trips can use a lot. If I can have them use wifi in my truck from an unlimited plan, then I don't have to worry they'll burn through our shared data and we will *all* be on 2G speeds until the bill resets. Also, I've found the hotspot in my Silverado gets better reception in low/spotty reception areas then my phone does.

I guess we'll have to wait til tomorrow to know for sure, but all the cellular carriers are saying "unlimited" but they really mean xxGB of data then we slow you down to 2G speeds until your bill cycle resets. I've scoured the Onstar, Chevy, and AT&T sites, but there's no details... no * with a link at the bottom stating the terms. Personally, I think the $20 will depend on what you really get. Right now on Onstar.com its 4Gb for $20 a month. So if the new "unlimited" is 4Gb then throttled to 2G speeds for $20 I'm not sure it will be better than adding it to my existing AT&T shared data plan for $10 a month. But if the $20 "unlimited" or more like 10Gb than throttled or not throttled at all, then it might be worth it.

Maybe someone in the UK filed a right to be forgotten request and Google just got the wrong person. I'd call the NSA and ask them for a restore (since they snoop on everything anyway).

There was a time when the NSA was monitoring and recording everything. Maybe he could call them and ask for a restore?

I know a guy who knows a guy who does the following to help protect his torrenting actions... 1) he uses a blocklist of the known IPs of the MPAA, RIAA, their attorneys, and media content owners (ie: NBC)... 2) has his torrent client configured to be encrypted and only connect to encrypted peers... 3) uses a free VPN service and routes all traffic through the VPN in a foreign country while torrenting. So I'm curious... does the above detection in the patent still have bearing with what is essentially double-encrypted? Is my friend's friend flirting with danger but doens't realize it? And if encryption is the answer... at what point do we start telling all torrent client dev's to default to only talking to encrypted peers?

If only he'd had the foresight to incorporate as an LLC first, then he might be immune from prosecution, and could just bankrupt his company to avoid the fine.

Lots and lots and laundry... and no more need to put all my clothes into one big machine and have them end up all wrinkly. I could finally actually afford to separate my whites from my darks from my towels and sheets. Oh wait, I don't actually wash my sheets. But I digress...

... "raging Butte Fire"... seriously? its called the raging butt fire? W T F

says Farah. "It is not hard to imagine a supervisor telling employees that this is the standard they should aspire to in their work, however they manage to do it (hint, hint)..." How 'bout what happens when its the supervisor using the enhancing drugs and decides that everyone else needs to be just as productive as he/she is? So the underlings have to use more of the enhancements to be productive enough to get noticed and promoted while those who choose not to tweak their brain chemistry will never be able to compete and will be seen as failures or inefficient managers of their time.

The irony here is the timing. As poor taste as the comment was if you fast forward a year and let a comedian say the same thing or let Eminem rap about it and it'll be just fine. I guess I'm glad freedom of speech is still protected here in the States... unless you want to assault someone while also making rude comments in which case then its called a hate crime.

OM f'ing G... I remember being like 8 years old driving from LA to Victorville and hearing that song and asking my mom why they'd sing about a "bathroom on the right". She just laughed and told me it was "bad moon on the rise" and kept laughing and laughing and laughin. All these years I thought I was the only one. Thank god for this article. Now I know I'm not alone or weird. I don't have to kill myself now as all my reasons for being depressed stemmed from this one incident and now that I know others heard it too I feel so much better. Guess I can take the suicide hotline off my favorites list now...
