Hardware manufacturers are clearly to blame for enabling this man to commit crimes. Transmission line owners are at fault for supplying him with power to commit crimes. ISPs gave him direct access to the internet, allowing him to perform these acts. I say lock them all up.

26 year old here. No facebook for 3 years.

Though, I'll admit that I am not the average consumer.

Is this news? This has and always will happen until it is made an illegal practice.

Does anyone have a transcript, or is it posted somewhere, of the speech the chairman is giving (gave) after the meeting? He makes it sound as though the internet is more "open", now, free from the "rules" of net neutrality imposed on it. It's absolutely riot inducing.

Bennett,
I know life can seem like an endless rat race sometimes. It is difficult to refute that logic to a rational mind, but we are not simply rational minds. We love and lose and fix endless bugs, and we shouldn't just give up.
You should consider seeking help. I know... it will be from some git psych major, but it's possible they will put your mind at ease.

This just in! Economist reports that kill switches on cars that allow for remote disabling, rendering the car worthless, would save consumers millions, mostly in insurance premiums. (Just give us more power already! -govt.[largecorp, inc])

Did DICE recently invest in 3D printing stock or what?

Except mine was a pk-12. Call it "The Institute" and charge 1% of future income (over a given threshold).

If EPA regulation meetings are anything like ASTM or ISO meetings, then there is honestly very little room for the purported chicanery. It takes YEARS to get anything to move, and there are interlab studies done on everything along the way. IMO this bill is designed to leave room for additional regulation stalling.

At what point does a remote-control helicopter become a 'drone'? Also, Beta doesn't provide sufficient functional improvement to necessitate its continuation, or indeed, its conception

Pretty sure all who answered d) would fall under 'neutral'.

Please detail what you think you are changing other than UI. We're technical people and we don't like change for the sake of change, or, even worse, aesthetics only.

For the record, I also do not like the beta. It looks like tumblr or some such nonsense. Get rid of the social media nonsense at the top too. No one shares directly to a story on an aggregation site, the share to the actual story. The only thing I ever share on slashdot are the (occasionally) brilliant comments.

The guy's only rival is the pope for most influential person of the year, period.

Why would they orient the screen so the student has to look down at it? That would cause some serious neck pain. It's not a 2 kilo text book, it's a wall. Orient it with some ergonomics in mind. If anything, the enemy's gate is down.
