So does it mean that CloudFlare will be throttled? If yes then no point to use CloudFlare. If they pay then no point to provide free service.

Either way Consumer loose, Telcos win. Drain that swamp (Urban Dictionary: "swamp": consumer's wallet).

That is a cool feature that won't break anything (except the sites tracking you across multiple domains - which is the point here).

Why do they hide it? To don't piss off Yahoo/Yandex/Baidoo sponsors? I guess (sane/informed) people love it so make it DEFAULT!

What is that LaptopMag.com source? Underneath the article I found scams in my language pointing to "interesting" articles "FROM THE WEB". It cointained even links to obvious cosmetics-selling scams posing as state-established Czech doctors' organization (Camera Medica Bohemica - "eská lékaská komora"). That is totally outlawed in my country!

Don't trust a source that takes money from scammers.

Intel graphics sux... we all know that. But now we will get used to Intel chips being really good in graphics... and in a year or two when you will be buying your next Intel CPU you won't bother to ask (as an average customer) if it is AMD chip on the die or Intel's own... and I bet it will soon be again Intel.

Double hit - get the quick GPU reputation fix thanks to AMD and ready own GPU (to replace AMD in the future) by stealing top engineer from AMD. Not a good move for AMD! IMO earning few bucks from Intel will come too costly for AMD.

We need DIGITAL currency that BTC currently is not:

- has low latency transactions (seconds at most, scaling problem, transaction history drag)
- is eco-friendly = transactions are near free (minimum payment for watts/others/intermediaries/...)
- the price is fixed (to avoid speculations/currency being a subject of trade instead of tool for trade, maybe price fixed to Basket of Goods?)

+ all the cool features that BTC curently has like limited amount of coins (to avoid inflation), security, validability, decentralization, ...

We need a new solution. BTC is a great start but it is not a solution yet.

Looks like somebody sold too much Bitcoins and bought too much Bitcoin Cash... These small-sized virtual currency markets are vulnerable to big investors. You sell BTC and you buy BCH and BTC dives while BCH rises... then you reverse the course...

No, BTC has no future. It just became the currency controlled by speculative capital without any real-world backing as the practical currency of daily goods exchange... Sooner or later we will need other solution. For normal people. For buying bread and toilet paper. :-) BTC is just for players.

The dangerous thing here is that this company didn't say - it is bad to intentionally brick the fully functional (non-subscription) product after the warranty expired - they fully maintain their current position. They just shut up critics by sending them a new product (that they will brick soon anyway). After few "responsible" shut downs it will become a norm.

Are you looking forward to your car being bricked because some company just made "the business decision" [sic] that you need to buy another one?

Well you are being too rational. Look at the other side (I mean the rest of normal people - not techies like you).

Don't you see it? If you want to understand the customers and why people are buying things that should not exist (thus justifying their production) you need to loose at least half of your brain - that half that asks questions.

So they found literally nothing? Must be certainly the discovery of the century.

Is it a new trick how to program new citizens to ensure that totalitarian dynasty will never be ousted?

You know... it is so easy to clone new citizens by just one key press in case the real ones decide to vote for somebody else...

The referenced PDF bears the date May 2013? Is the Slashdot review process so slow?

And what researches did is "we have devised a system to locate, download, and analyze the content of millions of social media posts... all over China before the Chinese government is able to find, evaluate, and censor ... they deem objectionable.". Do I understand that they devised a way how to find very fast objectionable content? Chinese government will be sending congratulations on the accomplishment soon. I am sure it saved Chinese censors few years of research how to find objectionable content fast...

When Google Reader died off ( https://www.google.com/reader/ ) I built my own snews.eu where I added Slashodt and other news aggregators. When there is something interesting I follow the links and that way I find other sources. I add them to my aggregator and when crappy articles start popping up I remove them... Takes time to build the portfolio that suits you but then you are rewarded with great articles every day.

Now I don't add news sources that often but time to time somebody posts on Slashdot or elsewhere some really interesting source...

That woman simply hates that people can freely speak through the medium she does not control!

Terrorist attack? We need more control and censorship.
Child abuse? We need more control and censorship.
Meteor heading to earth? We need more control and censorship.
Is it Sunday today? We need more control and censorship.
Nothing happened? We need more control and censorship.

What is the difference between windows 10 S and phone with Android or Gaming Console? Is it the death of universal computers as we know them? Simple machines that can process any code written for them?

If you want a AppConsole that is nice a runs fast but restricts you to content AppConsole's owner wants you to use then use Android (or some left-behind competitor like Wind 10S). If you want to have universal PC then use Linux.

I must say: Turkey will get what they voted for. Unfortunately recovering from this will be much more pricey then getting into this s*t.

This shows the problem with democracy. Average people are dumb. As the result the dictator can be democratically elected.

According to what Erdogan already advertised the Twitter will be next and Facebook will follow. Not sure if I should be sympathetic with that country if majority is getting what they voted for. Although I am sympathetic with that smarter minority because history shows us that this smarter minority will sacrifice the most in the future when trying to fix mistakes of dumb majority.
