You're either a neutral service provider (e.g. Telephone, internet, hosting, etc. ) Or you're an editor. Having it both ways is a problem. You can't have the protections of the first if you behave like the latter. (i.e.) If you're going to edit or restrict, then you're responsible for ALL content hosted, and should be able to be sued directly.

Submitted by ohnocitizen
ohnocitizen writes: The Gates Foundation comes up a lot on Slashdot, often in a well deserved positive light. Their work on education reform, however, shows another side to the organization. I'm curious to hear the slashdot community's opinions on the matter.

Submission + - First Film Shot Using Google Glass Debuts on YouTube (ecouterre.com)

Submitted by fangmcgee
fangmcgee writes: Diane von Furstenberg wants you to experience her Spring/Summer 2013 show at New York Fashion Week through the eyes of the folks who made it happen: the stylists, the models, and the grande dame of American fashion herself. A short film released on YouTube features footage captured entirely using Google’s micro-camera-equipped “Glass” eyeglasses. Is this the future of fashion on film? More important, who’s watching whom?

I would say that they really can't operate cars either.  I imagine these car users going through a mental checklist:
Merge on to ramp
Watch for incoming traffic
Oh crap should I speed up or slow down, I don't remember.  *phew*  managed to merge with only causing a small traffic jam.
Immediately cut off traffic while proceeding to the left most lane, and travelling 10 mph below the speed limit.
*starts raining*
SLAM ON BRAKES!

Novell Bringing .Net Developers To Apple iPad 315

Posted by timothy from the odd-confluence dept.
GMGruman writes "Paul Krill reports that Apple's new iPad could be easier to write apps for, thanks to Novell's MonoTouch development platform, which helps .Net developers create code for the iPad and fully comply with Apple's licensing requirements — without having to use Apple's preferred Objective-C. This news falls on the footsteps of news that Citrix will release an iPad app that lets users run Windows sessions on the iPad. These two developments bolster an argument that the iPad could eventually displace the netbook."

I'm not making the claim that global temperatures are stable.

I'm not making the claim that global temperatures are rising due to natural causes

I'm not making the claim that Global temperatures are rising due to man, but it will have beneficial effects.

I'm not making the claim that Global temperatures are rising due to man, and will cause global catastrophe but all proposed solutions will fail.

I'm saying, the claims your making are bunk because you have no evidence.
