Really. I'm the first person to post this?
This is commonly known as the "spaceballs password"
I used to work with a CISSP who would regularly staff passwords over the phone and give "123pass" and use the spaceballs password. Ever since then, I've not had a lot of respect for the CISSP. The guy was an idiot.
So, what is the case for a state government being a proxy for a private interest like facebook? Why are tax dollars going to defend a corporation?
Why is this not modded up to 5 yet? Someone please help this out.
But it is Japan, so none of these are very likely to happen. Instead, we'll have another accident in a few years.
And thus it is very much deserved, should the people of that country fail to exert more power than the minority politicians and interested industry shareholders.
If the kind of service that I've gotten with TMobile over the last 10 years is "second-class", I'll have to say I like it. What would that make ATT customers? Fifth-class citizens?
Remember that TMobile is a PROFITABLE company. They are actively making money. If DT would just cut them lose and give them the freedom to succeed or fail, I am willing to bet that they would do pretty well.
This is why Slashdot sucks.
You have ALL of these replies, but this one right here above is most relevant, in my opinion, and should be on the top of everything.
The summary is totally wrong, yet it has not been corrected and will probably never be corrected. Editors are never held accountable for their positive or negative actions.
Known-bad information is propagated and never corrected.
ANother advantage of DC power cable is that it is almost always cut to need, on the spot, and it's potentially as easy to plug in as a speaker wire. The cable management aspect is awesome if you work in high-density server environments. Anyone who has racked 42 servers in a 42U rack knows how awesome cable management is. Specifically, it's about slack management. No slack = no problem.
Yes, it sucks. It's complicated.
Check out the Sangoma S518 card. I was shocked they were still selling it all these years later. Be warned that the drivers are really difficult to get working though. I never did get this card working with my local ADSL provider.

I think these are mostly for development rather than actual use, but whatever.
Single pair is just so dead.
Years ago, back in 2001, I had a nice Dell laptop with a modular DVDRW drive. However, you could hot swap out the optical drive for a second battery pack. I pretty much ran with this second battery pack in all the time, and it was awesome. It added an extra 60% or so of extra battery time to the laptop and I could go a real-world six to eight hours of use before the power ran out.
My new MacBook pro has a DVDRW drive in it and it's just complete wasted space. The battery life for this MacBook Pro is already pretty good, but it would be very awesome if I could put a modular battery in there. FYI, I have one of the first generation of unibody MacBook Pros, so I can very easily get to the battery and hard drive. I loath the fact that they un-did this feature of the MBP in later models. Jerks!
Show me how these new UIs produce a benefit for the end user. That's it.
I'm a bitter KDE4 user. From everything I can tell, they did it to make the code "neater" and for window candy.
Do not clog intellect's sluices with bits of knowledge of questionable uses.
