You retard, it's meant to be read in 24 *hours*, not "24 hours". So really they probably meant within a month, if you read a chapter per day.

It's similar for Sams' "10 minutes" or "21 days" books - each chapter taking 10 minutes/1 hour/1 day. The 21 days books are more in-depth from what I know. The logical steps would be to start with a 10 minutes book to get the nuggets of information you need (like the TY SQL in 10 Minutes book, which is really good as a quick reference), then take it up to 24 hours if you need more, and progress onto 21 days if you're still wanting yet more.

Dupe.

Fake date of birth, fake profile picture, fake location details, ...

This could be a good little snitching exercise, but then Fakebook would lose so many under-13s* that their userbase would practically halve. And that's just tackling DOBs, let alone the other details.

(*I'm not condoning under-13s being on the website, only stating the fact that there are a lot of children who signed up with fake DOBs.)

Does this remind people of Missy the lost cat? http://www.27bslash6.com/missy.html

Or asking for a logo to be designed to a certain specification? http://www.27bslash6.com/p2p2.html

This will most certainly be hilarious.

The link in TFS is lacking any detail. Go to the above.

Like this one to the Flickr blog post Finding a new species on Flickr, which even has a link to the actual photo.

This is the real paper, coming in at only 2 pages it's a light read: https://physics.le.ac.uk/journals/index.php/pst/article/viewFile/390/243

You weren't going to RTFA anyway, now were you?..

Abstract
The film Armageddon (1998) puts forward the possibility of using a nuclear weapon buried deep within an Earth-bound asteroid to split the asteroid in two, each half clearing opposite sides of the Earth with only relatively minor damage. This article investigates the feasibility of such a plan and shows that even using the largest nuclear weapon made to date, the bomb comes over 9 orders of magnitude short of the yield required.

Isn't this why you love Slashdot? Oh the irony.

The article says nothing about in what way the oil markets were affected, so to spare you having to RTFA I'll copy it below:

MOSCOW, Aug 6 (Reuters) - A Twitter user sent a hoax message on Monday that quoted Russia's ambassador to Damascus as saying Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may have been killed, forcing Russian officials to quickly deny the report.

A user on the social networking site apparently pretending to be Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev quoted the envoy, Sergei Kirpichenko, as saying Assad "has been killed or injured."

The ministry and the embassy denied the veracity of the report and a message later appeared on the same Twitter account saying "this account is a hoax." It did not say what the aim of the hoax was although it had briefly affected oil markets.

Russia is a strong ally of Assad and has repeatedly prevented tougher sanctions being imposed on Syria by the United Nations since the start of an uprising against the president 17 months ago.

Asked about the report that Assad may be dead, Artyom Savelyev, the Russian embassy's press attache in Damascus, said by telephone: "Our ambassador said nothing of the sort."

An Interior Ministry spokesman said Kolokoltsev had no Twitter account.

3. PROFIT!

What next? The Internet and web should be free. There should never be any large-scale blocking of this sort, otherwise they'll add more categories in the future until we're left with a heavily restricted Internet/web, or worse: whitelisted categories.

The title and summary seem to suggest that the system as a whole has had a failure of some kind, though it's nothing of the likes. It's just the analogue > digital switchover means that people will "lose" access to it, however the BBC provides digital services anyway.
