Ken would've talked about how much he liked that window treatment, then went off to listen to his Liza Minelli records.

Mod points, mod points... My kingdom for mod points!

I've been married 30 years, and from what you say it seems pretty obvious - not only does your wife have you thoroughly trained... she's also much smarter than you.

My wife tells me - convincingly - I'm much better than she is at certain things. And I'm just now starting to figure out these are all things she doesn't want to do herself.

Ha! When will Google Voice start handling MMS, period? And no, changing it over to an email doesn't count.

Google hasn't done anything with the product since they bought it... other than put their name on it.

It was your mom

You don't want zero tolerance? Then make schools protected from litigation. Because that is why schools have gone with zero tolerance. It protects them from litigation. A sue Happy society had brought this upon us.

If you - and everyone on Slashdot that agrees with you - didn't select "bothers everyone around me as I rant and fume"...

You answered wrong.

I'm not a fan of Google's, but I'm not sure why people are unwilling to recognize this is a significant step in the right direction.

Before Google took the steps necessary to ensure communications between data centers was secured, the government could (and apparently did) just slurp up everything and troll for information. Now, at least they'll need some sort of court order, which means they'll need at least a modicum of an idea what they are targeting.

The entire government system is still deeply - maybe even fatally - flawed. Even if Obama's reforms actually take place, there's still far too much power left in the hands of the secret courts and the spy agencies. But fixing this horrible, unconstitutional mess will take time and effort. Correcting (or, in this case, interfering with) even one aspect of it is welcome news.

Oh, if only it were possible to disable cgi in Apache...

This is the problem with SELinux in a nutshell - much of what it does amounts to reinventing the wheel. If a sysadmin is competent enough to make custom policies for SELinux, he's competent enough to edit Apache's configuration.

Adding complexity for its own sake is bad for security.

Oh, crap - I'm really screwed, in that case. Couldn't you have mentioned this sooner?

It's only been a year or so since Mat Honan got all his Amazon, Google, and Apple data wiped because someone was able to trick their way into his accounts. Apple got castigated over that, and implemented a lot of extra security to try to prevent that sort of thing from happening again. Well, guess what? You can't have it both ways. One way or the other, there will be problematic edge cases - and this sort of thing is one of them.

Coincidentally, the average Slashdotter could say the same thing with regard to sex.

An alternative explanation is those math teachers didn't actually understand the concept, and therefore were unable to properly explain it.

Given what Comcast charges on a monthly basis for their routers, I don't understand why anyone uses one of theirs. You can buy a DOCSIS 3 cable modem for 60 or 70 bucks.

Have they managed to keep from breaking crypt() recently?
