"Vertical bar pilates" has got to be that someone prompted it to be defensive about "poll dancing" and the guardrails just went up too high and broke everything.Poll dancing is of course a legitimate thing on its own and not just a cool stripper prop.

Wikimedia should blur out the brand logos on pix, just like ESPN does, and Gstreets does w/ license plates. Those commercial entities seem to do it cause they're not getting revenue for it, or so not to get sued for something.

Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime 409

Posted by timothy on Thursday March 14, 2013 @04:33PM from the those-are-some-crazy-socks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After running uninterrupted for 3737 days, this humble Sun 280R server running Solaris 9 was shut down. At the time of making the video it was idle, the last service it had was removed sometime last year. A tribute video was made with some feelings about Sun, Solaris, the walk to the data center and freeing a machine from internet-slavery."

Is Livestrong's anti-cancer mission any less worthy now that Lance Armstrong is de-famed?

Submission + - DARPA Funds A $300 Software-Defined Radio For Hackers (forbes.com)

Submitted by Sparrowvsrevolution on Monday October 22, 2012 @12:42AM

Sparrowvsrevolution writes: Over the weekend at the ToorCon hacker conference in San Diego, Michael Ossmann of Great Scott Gadgets revealed a beta version of the HackRF Jawbreaker, the latest model of the wireless Swiss-army knife tools known as “software-defined radios.” Like any software-defined radio, the HackRF can shift between different frequencies as easily as a computer switches between applications–It can both read and transmit signals from 100 megaherz to 6 gigaherz, intercepting or reproducing frequencies used by everything from FM radios to police communications to garage door openers to Wifi and GSM to next-generation air traffic control system messages.

At Ossmann’s target price of $300, the versatile, open-source devices would cost less than half as much as currently existing software-defined radios with the same capabilities. And to fund the beta testing phase of HackRF, the Department of Defense research arm known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) pitched in $200,000 last February as part of its Cyber Fast Track program.

Funny seeing it's leaking already, in a nice controlled arc at 2 mph. Floor was so clean too. I thought the remote controls on air conditioners were weird too, but so useful for high or odd spots. This RC park / un-park may be standard in 10 years.

GOG.com Not Really Gone 276

gspr writes "On Sunday, Slashdot and many others reported that DRM-free games site GOG.com was shutting down. Now the site is back, revealing that it was all a hoax. According to the site: 'Now it's time we put an end to all the speculations once and for all. It's true that we decided that we couldn't keep GOG.com the way it was so we won't. As you probably know by now, GOG.com is entering its new era with an end of the two-years beta stage and we're launching a brand new GOG.com with new, huge releases.' So it was all an advertising stunt."
