A university in Toronto tore down the historic Sam The Record Man building, and promised to reinstall its beloved sign elsewhere. It took them 8 years, but they finally installed it over a major public square.

Maybe the one person left working in the State Department doesn't know how to restart a server.

So sad for most of the US where people get maybe 4 OTA channels. /s

Anyway, they're reassigning television channels in most markets to make up for this.

People in developed countries can be easily tricked, too.

Remember all the idiots who were fooled into believing that installing iOS 10 would make their iPhone waterproof?

"Hero" is the new "Premium".

It doesn't matter if he's dead, or if the case isn't relevant anymore. Who cares about its legal status. The heist captured the public imagination. The audacity of it, the lingering mystery. People will still be talking about it in 100 years, just like people still talk about wild west stage coach robberies.

Or Slashdot just became trite and boring and I only check it out for a few minutes once every week or two.

Times change, websites fade.

Wasn't that the plot of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?

It's funny. Apple had a hand in ARM's founding. They were collaborating on RISC chips with Acorn, and that was spun-off into ARM. Apple owned a decent chunk of it for a while, but I don't know when they sold that share off.

This is why you never accept a vape from Bugs Bunny.

Felder is an asshole, and you know it.

Right, I'd forgotten about the Zune's ability to "squirt" songs.

I can't believe they used that term.

I wonder what this means for Windows 10 Mobile.

The tiny but dedicated fanbase kept insisting that an x86-based "Surface Phone" was on the way "any time now", and was going to be the platform's saviour. But now there's no Atom, and I doubt a Core M is going to fit in there anytime soon.

>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.
