this a slow news day? The list was crafted in 2009!

I'll have some o' that!

Airgapping the the complete physical isolation of a computer from ANY network. A computer in a closed Faraday cage with its own power generation inside the cage (like say a battery in a laptop) is the ONLY situation in which a system lacking ANY type of wireless or wired network connection including but not limited to Bluetooth, Wifi, Infrared, Serial, Modem or Cat5, can be in any way considered airgapped.

something with a very long, low-thrust burn such as DS1's ion propulsion* and enough fuel to run for half a century maybe, Voyager 1 left the Sun's influence last year - nothing launched from Earth will ever catch it using gravity assists. New Horizons might be travelling at twice the speed of Voyager right now but it's not even 40AU out, by the time it gets to apoapse it'll be travelling slow enough to drop back - it's in a 100AU heliocentric orbit.

*the Dawn spacecraft, currently in orbit around Ceres, also uses ion propulsion - the same NSTAR 2100W engine as DS1, in fact.

and this is why I am now setting my default browsing score at +1. Fuck off and die in a fire, APK.

I've never dropped a mod point, whatever that is, in my life. This is my only account. So get yourself a fucking UID so I can block your arse.

I stand enlightened, they do indeed have an OAED.

damn.

At least I can claim that 1GB of hard drive space back...

it's a term in biology referring to the space between membranes.

I'd install a slashdot app but only if you'll like my cat pictures.

some phones have higher screen resolution than my netbook.

Asus EeePC 1008HA: 1024x600

Motorola Droid Turbo: 1440p WQHD
Oppo Find 7: 1440p WQHD
LG G3: 1440p WQHD
Samsung Galaxy Note 4: 1440p WQHD
Sony Experia Z3: 1080p HD
Google Nexus 6: 1440p WQHD
Samsung Galaxy S5: 1080p HD/1440p WQHD (Korean variant)

I won't count iPhone 6S because while it has 1080p physical screen resolution, it uses just ninth of that area for point mapping and then extrapolates by 3x to fill the screen using a rasterisation process, just like every other iphone before it. Ostensibly to reduce the memory load. Yeah, I had to read that twice as well.

well, wasn't that just incredibly generous of it?

I mean, it "gave" you cancer. You didn't suddenly, out of sheer nothing-else-to-do-ness, develop it. You were gifted a strange growth by an immaterial stream of information.

Would that we all were so lucky as you, this world would be a happy, if tumorous, place.

subscription-based information portals are often referred to as "paywalls".
Softawre that installs third party components such as searchbars, BHOs, keyloggers and IRC clients without the users knowledge or consent are referred to as "scumware".
This is coercive advertising, that basically forces you into at least sampling what they have to offer if you want access to the information you asked for. This should be called "Scumwall".

oh fuck off already.

because it's copypasta spam.

Thank you, come again. Or better yet, don't.
