Uhhh... like it is described to work. Read the FAQ. There is no "agree/disagree" points. The quality of the post is the only parameter.

Wow. Make a comment that is a once sentence personal opinion and get up voted by a mod that agrees. What a nice demonstration of how the moderation system is utterly broken.

Because the money is created - like all money in existence - in the form of a loan that needs to get payed back + interest. Money is debt. This leads us to another interesting question, why do the government (and anyone else) lend from private companies/establishments (e.g. the FED) when they could create all the money they need without paying any interest rate?

Oh, and obligatory XKCD: http://xkcd.com/732/

More resolution on my TV to watch Movies? Whatever. I need resolution for my monitor though - 1080p is a joke in terms of desktop surface. Give me a standard 19" 4:3 LCD with same pixel resolution as the screen on iPhone 4. I'd easily pay1000$ for that.

A comparison: A normal 19" 1280x1024 LCD has ~90 DPI. If it had ~326 dpi instead like the iPhone4 claims, the display would have a resolution of ~4640x3710 - the closest "common resolution" would then be: 4096x3072 (HXGA) or 6400x4800 (HUXGA). *drool* Imagine all the lines of code that would fit on that.

I agree with you but fuck - have you seen pictures of Greenland melting? If that shit melts sea levels will increase 6 meters. Several thousand years of ice is just pouring away at the moment. New lakes are being created as we speak and they have seen crazy phenomena like lakes being evacuated in minutes by pouring down under the ice, creating sub-glacier rivers that probably catalyze the whole process.

I don't like alarmism but when I see phenomena like this I can't help but feel a sense of panic. Doesn't help living in Sweden knowing that if the Golf Stream stops we're basically fucked. Climate change is weighing the facts against the risks. Should we keep gambling with the climate for the sake of "economic growth". Is it really worth it?

Yep, starvation is really "biofuels" fault and not due to more abstract reasons like socio economic poverty and droughts. It's "the wests" fault for not sending more food to Africa.

Basic economics. *facepalm*

Uhh.. I thought it was impossible to transplant lungs?

You need to understand that Slashdot is American. It's mainstream to be a climate denier here. /thread

He seems legit then. I'm pretty skeptical against any articles and statements that slams any specific service or companies since the FB smear campaign against Google was revealed. Makes me wonder how many that was *not* revealed.

Because she chooses to interact with them trough G+. Sounds like an edge case where people could have more than one "real" name. If this was a common problem Google would simply implement the ability to have multiple real names. The issue here though (what this debate is about) is that the Google have rules that prevent psedonymity... which me and many other G+ users believe is a good thing.

As people has commented in this thread previously, Anonymity significantly reduces the quality of social interaction. If Google would allow that I'm not sure I would like to use G+ anymore. It would loose it's purpose for me which is to interact with people that publicly identifies themselves in real-life.

You are right, but you missed the point that it also makes it a less valuable "product" for me. If you want to interact with me via G+ I want to know your name. For slashdot, I'm fine with psedonymity although I sometimes wonder if allowing Social Network connected comments would further improve the discussion quality.

They have. They can always choose to leave.

What a nice twisting of words. How is "having to use your real name" different from being indexed in a phone listing or birthday directory? I think this author needs to look up the definition of "being private". Being private does not mean that people are unaware that you exist or that they are unable to attribute your opinions or other personal data. Rather, it means that you have control over who can access what of your personal data, and I found that easier to do in G+ than FB which is one of the reasons I rather use G+.

Also FB is known for paying people to badmouth Google. Just saying...

At work we use SVN revision number as the "build" token in the web application version number. E.g. 5.3.5627 where 5627 is the revision number. It's very easy to see what revision is currently deployed and it's very easy to communicate this version number to other people. You also get a very good idea of "how far" it is between revisions in the revision stack when hearing their numbers.

Don't worry. Even if the group did steal the data they have clearly stated that they will give it back. To as many as possible.
