You mean like the way the word hacker only means someone who cracks security, DRM etc? That's what it means to most people but it doesn't mean they are right or that we shouldn't try to educate them.

Either that or they decided this archaeological event wasn't important enough to bother with HD cameras.

As a native English speaker I disagree, it makes no sense and I certainly wasn't taught to use this language. Maybe it's an Americanism though...

I'm not saying finding the Titanic wasn't important but archaeologically speaking it is far less important than the Mary Rose.

On the one hand we have the Titanic which sunk in 1912, we know virtually everything about, it's design, it's passenger list etc. Heck we even have film footage of it.

On the other hand we have the Marry Rose which sank in 1545 and (according to Wikipedia) "The surviving section of the ship and thousands of recovered artefacts are of immeasurable value as a Tudor-era time capsule. [...] The finds include weapons, sailing equipment, naval supplies and a wide array of objects used by the crew. Many of the artefacts are unique to the Mary Rose and have provided insights into topics ranging from naval warfare to the history of musical instruments.".

It's not even the biggest naval archaeological event since the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, how about the discovery of the Mary Rose, discovered in 1971.

I'm still trying to work out how to search for posts on the mobile/beta version of the website. So far the only option I can see is to 'Request Desktop Site' which gives me the original Slashdot.

As opposed to really important?

$7.4M divided by "around two million customers", minus costs, they'll be lucky to get $3.50, better watch out for that godamn Lock Ness Monsta!!!

Not many but there are some!

Better education of users is the answer. To coin a car analogy, most people now know not to leave their purse, computer, other valuable items visible in their car, they take extra measures like leaving it in the boot/trunk or not leaving it there in the first place.

This was (and unfortunately still is) not always the case but because of advertising campaigns people tend to know they should be more aware.

To be honest I thought you had some interesting points in your original post but now you seem like a bit of a dick. Calm your temper a bit and you won't deflect attention from the content of your post.

Ooo, snappy snappy, just like a crocodile! I'm sorry if I misinterpreted the quotes you put around "inventor of the internet" but there's no need to spit the dummy!

Tim Berners-Lee didn't invent the internet, he is credited with inventing the World Wide Web.

I'm still using a Nokia 3310. 'What? Call yourself a geek and you don't have a smart phone?' I hear you ask...

Well I quite like the idea that when I leave the office I'm NOT AT WORK any more. I'm still contactable if anyone wants to TXT/call me and I'm rarely more than 10mins away from a WiFi connection if I really need one (I have a Nexus 7 which is on me most of the time).

I also take perverse pleasure when I try calling someone on their iPhone and they hang up on me only to TXT me back to say their mic has been playing up and they can't currently receive calls.

I also ski and paraglide quite a lot and need a phone that's going to work in an emergency, potentially after a big fall...

I know I'll have to replace it eventually but it's doing fine for what I need right now.

Sorry, mis-moderated...
