Now gamers in Iceland will have much better ping times and lower latency, plus much more time for WoW!

Foreign students pay at least twice the amount of what US, in-state students pay. Also, if you just take a look at any Masters or PHD programs, you will see that they are full of non-US citizens, so in a hypothetical foreigner ban, these programs won't be able to survive with only American students. There are also other advantages such as expanding US culture into other countries/cultures, exposing US students to other cultures, etc. So in other words, US is not giving free higher education to anyone, don't worry.

It is a more than a year old account, but less than 2 years old.

Even if this is the real deal, I don't think this is all the password hash db of linked in, my randomly generated 16+ character password's hash does not exist in this even when substituting the first five chars with zeroes.

So, set your fail2ban or denyhosts configuration to 11 seconds intervals, and problem solved?

Because that would take too long and be to expensive for a shitload of ships to send to.

I have (or had) several e-book readers, as well as an Acer A500 tablet. Even if you hack your kindle, nook etc. to install a proper pdf reader, the real problem is their screen resolution, 800x600. At this resolution, technical or scientific pdf files become very hard to cope with. On the tablet you have a 10 inch 1280x800 screen, which works great for pdfs. I agree that e-ink beats the regular LCDs for reading comfort and paper like feel but a good high res pdf capable device with e-ink simply does not exist yet.

Turkish people think exactly the same thing for US prisons. At least you don't have to worry about your ass if you drop the soap in Turkish ones.

And that's the reason I dropped dropbox last week and switched to Wuala, although I must say I am not terribly happy with that either.

Either use Fail2Ban or denyhosts, assuming you are using some sort of a linux/unix server. Both of them allows you to set thresholds so that it blocks further attempts from that particular IP for a preset amount of time. So you can set something like: if username is valid, allow 5 password attempts, then ban for 10 minutes if username is invalid, allow 2 attempts, then ban for 30 minutes if username is root or admin, block the ip until the world ends (which is two days from now apparently).

Of course I didn't read it, what did you expect? This is slashdot.

You fucked yourselves up by using your shitty pounds, inches, fahrenheits, feets, X football fields, gallons. Please do not try to mess with our finely defined base 10 measurements and rot in your stupid imperial units.

Sony also does this in the US. I am using this with my first gen. ebook reader (PRS-500) for the past several months.

No my friend, it owed that to Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. God bless Cylons (but not the male ones)
