In researching it I ran into plenty of wishful thinkers, ridiculous greedheads, and out-and-out nutbags promising a rosy future. I also found the expected blowback from vehement naysayers who think the best way to combat crazy is with more crazy. But despite that, I walked away believing that Bitcoin &mdash; or a decentralized cryptocurrency like it (let's call it "Coin") &mdash; is here to stay. As an interested outsider to the Coin economy, and a long-time technology commentator, here's what I think its future holds."

Researchers at the University of Erlanger-Nuremberg in Germany have discovered a weakness in the way iOS generates default passwords for such connections that can leave a user's device vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, information leakage or abuse of the user's Internet connection. Andreas Kurtz, Felix Freiling and Daniel Metz published a paper (PDF) that describes the inner workings of how an attacker can exploit the PSK (pre-shared key) authentication iOS uses to establish a secure WPA2 connection when using the Apple smartphone as a hotspot. The researchers said that attackers would find the least resistance attacking the PSK setup rather than trying their hand at beating the operating system's complex programming layers."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Researchers+Crack+iOS+Mobile+Hotspot+Passwords+In+Less+Than+a+Minute%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F15kz7GF"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fit.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F19%2F1848229%2Fresearchers-crack-ios-mobile-hotspot-passwords-in-less-than-a-minute%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1848229/researchers-crack-ios-mobile-hotspot-passwords-in-less-than-a-minute?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1848229/researchers-crack-ios-mobile-hotspot-passwords-in-less-than-a-minute?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3883989&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d84bff4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665173506/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d84bff4/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665173506/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d84bff4/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665173506/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d84bff4/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/_-Lr-djsn3k" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:26:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d84bff4/l/0Lit0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C18482290Cresearchers0Ecrack0Eios0Emobile0Ehotspot0Epasswords0Ein0Eless0Ethan0Ea0Eminute0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillios2013-06-19T19:26:00Z3algorithm-to-guess-your-cat's-nameit3,3,2,1,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d84bff4/l/0Lit0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C18482290Cresearchers0Ecrack0Eios0Emobile0Ehotspot0Epasswords0Ein0Eless0Ethan0Ea0Eminute0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/4EvU2PkiyJk/story01.htmMarkWhittington writes "Politico reports in a June 18, 2013 story that House Republicans have added a Mars base to its demands for a lunar base in the draft 2013 NASA Authorization bill.

Mark Shuttleworth writes about their first meeting: "We mapped out our approach to the key question I&rsquo;ve been asked by every carrier we&rsquo;ve met so far: how can we accommodate differentiation, without fragmenting the platform for developers? We described the range of diversity we think we can support initially, received some initial feedback from carriers participating immediately, and I&rsquo;m looking forward to the distilled feedback we&rsquo;ll get on the topic in the next call. CAG members get a period of exclusivity in their markets."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Ubuntu+Phone+Carrier+Advisory+Group+Announced%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F12bnbEI"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmobile.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F19%2F1624229%2Fubuntu-phone-carrier-advisory-group-announced%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1624229/ubuntu-phone-carrier-advisory-group-announced?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1624229/ubuntu-phone-carrier-advisory-group-announced?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3883591&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d838685/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665169298/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d838685/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665169298/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d838685/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665169298/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d838685/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/sZt-ggD1mz0" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:00:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d838685/l/0Lmobile0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C16242290Cubuntu0Ephone0Ecarrier0Eadvisory0Egroup0Eannounced0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmUnknown Lamercellphones2013-06-19T17:00:00Zopen-phone-war-was-the-only-good-warmobile0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d838685/l/0Lmobile0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C16242290Cubuntu0Ephone0Ecarrier0Eadvisory0Egroup0Eannounced0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/Bw2bX5s-z88/story01.htmalphadogg writes "Start-up Cumulus Networks this week has emerged with a Linux network operating system designed for programmable data centers like the ones Google and Facebook are building. The company's Cumulus Linux OS operating system includes IPv4 and IPv6 routing, plus data center and network orchestration hooks. Much like OpenFlow for independent, software-defined control of network forwarding, Cumulus Linux is intended to run on commodity network hardware and bring Open Source extensibility to high capacity data centers. The head of the company used to work for Cisco and Google." The distribution is based on Debian and ported to several router platforms. They claim to release most of their code Open Source, but there are at least a few proprietary bits for interfacing to the routing hardware itself.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Cumulus+Releases+GNU%2FLinux+For+Datacenter+Routers%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1atbX6s"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F19%2F1548256%2Fcumulus-releases-gnulinux-for-datacenter-routers%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1548256/cumulus-releases-gnulinux-for-datacenter-routers?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1548256/cumulus-releases-gnulinux-for-datacenter-routers?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3883481&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d836c14/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665709237/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d836c14/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665709237/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d836c14/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665709237/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d836c14/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/Bw2bX5s-z88" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 16:18:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d836c14/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C15482560Ccumulus0Ereleases0Egnulinux0Efor0Edatacenter0Erouters0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmUnknown Lamernetworking2013-06-19T16:18:00Z2scale-uptechnology2,2,1,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d836c14/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C15482560Ccumulus0Ereleases0Egnulinux0Efor0Edatacenter0Erouters0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/eK9NZ6C2PIw/story01.htmAn anonymous reader writes "As reported earlier on Slashdot it appeared the license covering the MySQL man pages was changed from the GPL to something less good.

If he goes out for a walk, he'll be extradited to Sweden to answer rape accusations &mdash;after which he has no promise from Sweden to deny further extradition efforts to America, where a grand jury investigation into WikiLeaks awaits. This also means that London's Metropolitan Police have been devoting their resources to keeping tabs on Assange for a year. Yesterday, a spokesperson explained the updated costs of guarding the embassy over the phone: 'From July 2012 through May 2013, the full cost has been &pound;3.8 million ($5,963,340),' he said. '&pound;700,000 ($1,099,560) of which are additional, or overtime costs.' Julian has a treadmill, a SAD lamp, and a connection to the Internet, through which he's been publishing small leaks and conducting interviews.

"Git shops typically have many, smaller repositories, while svn shops typically have a single repository, which eases administration, backup, etc."'" Major new features of 1.8 include switching to a new metadata storage engine by default instead of using Berkeley DB, first-class renames (instead of the CVS-era holdover of deleting and recreating with a new name) which will make merges involving renamed files saner, and a slightly simplified branch merging interface.<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Subversion+1.8+Released+But+Will+You+Still+Use+Git%3F%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F11y2DYi"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F19%2F1349228%2Fsubversion-18-released-but-will-you-still-use-git%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1349228/subversion-18-released-but-will-you-still-use-git?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/1349228/subversion-18-released-but-will-you-still-use-git?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3883175&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d81a374/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666250707/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d81a374/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666250707/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d81a374/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165666250707/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d81a374/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/Ad-jTaYAIQ8" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:22:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d81a374/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C13492280Csubversion0E180Ereleased0Ebut0Ewill0Eyou0Estill0Euse0Egit0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmUnknown Lamersoftware2013-06-19T14:22:00Zdarcs-for-lifetechnology0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d81a374/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C13492280Csubversion0E180Ereleased0Ebut0Ewill0Eyou0Estill0Euse0Egit0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/RtZz6rsOGFc/story01.htmtheodp writes "GeekWire reports that Google has patented an image-capturing walking stick, which can boldly go where no Google Street View Car can.

So wrote the Justice Department in concealing the NSA's role in two wiretap cases. However, now that the NSA is under the gun, it's apparently not so critical, according to New York attorney Joshua Dratel: 'National security is about keeping illegal conduct concealed from the American public until you're forced to justify it because someone ratted you out.' The first he heard of the NSA's role in his client's case was 'when [FBI deputy director Sean] Joyce disclosed it on CSPAN to argue for the effectiveness of the NSA's spying.' Dratel challenged the legality of the spying in 2011, and asked a federal judge to order the government to produce the wiretap application the FBI gave the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to justify the surveillance. 'Disclosure of the FISA applications to defense counsel &ndash; who possess the requisite security clearance &ndash; is also necessary to an accurate determination of the legality of the FISA surveillance, as otherwise the defense will be completely in the dark with respect to the basis for the FISA surveillance,' wrote Dratel. According to Wired, 'The government fought the request in a 60-page reply brief (PDF), much of it redacted as classified in the public docket. The Justice Department argued that the defendants had no right to see any of the filings from the secret court, and instead the judge could review the filings alone in chambers."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=NSA's+Role+In+Terror+Cases+Concealed+From+Defense+Lawyers%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F10wKZJr"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F19%2F0326244%2Fnsas-role-in-terror-cases-concealed-from-defense-lawyers%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/0326244/nsas-role-in-terror-cases-concealed-from-defense-lawyers?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/0326244/nsas-role-in-terror-cases-concealed-from-defense-lawyers?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3880537&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d8029f8/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666245390/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d8029f8/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666245390/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d8029f8/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165666245390/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d8029f8/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/NpTVGjMt6y4" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:11:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d8029f8/l/0Lyro0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C0A3262440Cnsas0Erole0Ein0Eterror0Ecases0Econcealed0Efrom0Edefense0Elawyers0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillgovernment2013-06-19T12:11:00Z2you-can-trust-usyro2,2,1,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d8029f8/l/0Lyro0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C0A3262440Cnsas0Erole0Ein0Eterror0Ecases0Econcealed0Efrom0Edefense0Elawyers0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/c5Rzmeh9_ec/story01.htmAardappel writes "Lobster is a new programming language targeting game programming specifically, building on top of OpenGL, SDL 2 and FreeType.

The fresh look considers software development models as a way to overcome parallel computing limitations. 'DEEP keeps the code parts of a simulation that can only be parallelized up to a concurrency of p = L on a Cluster Computer equipped with fast general purpose processors. The highly parallelizable parts of the simulation are run on a massively parallel Booster-system with a concurrency of p = H, H &gt;&gt; L. The booster is equipped with many-core Xeon Phi processors and connected by a 3D-torus network of sub-microsecond latency based on EXTOLL technology. The DEEP system software allows to dynamically distribute the tasks to the most appropriate parts of the hardware in order to achieve highest computational efficiency.'

Called SiDiM, which Google translates to 'secure documents by individual marking,' the changes are unique to each e-book sold. These alterations serve as a digital watermark that can be used to track books that have had any other DRM layers stripped out of them before being shared online. The researchers are hoping the new DRM feature will curb digital piracy by simply making consumers paranoid that they'll be caught if they share an e-book illicitly.' I seem to recall reading about this in Tom Clancy's Patriot Games, when Jack Ryan used this technique to identify someone who was leaking secret documents. It would be so very difficult for someone to write a little program that, when stripping the DRM, randomized a couple of pieces of punctuation to break the hash that the vendor is storing along with the sales record of the individual book."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Altering+Text+In+eBooks+To+Track+Pirates%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1ardXMK"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F18%2F236203%2Faltering-text-in-ebooks-to-track-pirates%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/06/18/236203/altering-text-in-ebooks-to-track-pirates?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/06/18/236203/altering-text-in-ebooks-to-track-pirates?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3880137&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d7a9904/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666229282/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d7a9904/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165666229282/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d7a9904/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165666229282/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d7a9904/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/m2LCyRTTPjM" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:11:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d7a9904/l/0Lyro0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C180C23620A30Caltering0Etext0Ein0Eebooks0Eto0Etrack0Epirates0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskilldrm2013-06-19T04:11:00Z7for-whom-the-bell-jinglesyro7,7,5,5,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d7a9904/l/0Lyro0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C180C23620A30Caltering0Etext0Ein0Eebooks0Eto0Etrack0Epirates0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/S0gu-8jg6R4/story01.htmAn anonymous reader writes "Today in a blog post, NVIDIA's General Counsel, David Shannon, announced that the company will begin licensing its GPU cores and patent portfolio to device makers. '[I]t's not practical to build silicon or systems to address every part of the expanding market. Adopting a new business approach will allow us to address the universe of devices.' He cites the 'explosion of Android devices' as one of the prime reasons for this decision. 'This opportunity simply didn't exist several years ago because there was really just one computing device &ndash; the PC. But the swirling universe of new computing devices provides new opportunities to license our GPU core or visual computing portfolio.' Shannon points out that NVIDIA did something similar with the CPU core used in the PlayStation 3, which was licensed to Sony. But mobile seems to be the big opportunity now: 'We'll start by licensing the GPU core based on the NVIDIA Kepler architecture, the world's most advanced, most efficient GPU. Its DX11, OpenGL 4.3, and GPGPU capabilities, along with vastly superior performance and efficiency, create a new class of licensable GPU cores. Through our efforts designing Tegra into mobile devices, we've gained valuable experience designing for the smallest power envelopes. As a result, Kepler can operate in a half-watt power envelope, making it scalable from smartphones to supercomputers.'"<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=NVIDIA+To+License+Its+GPU+Tech%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F12aaU3y"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhardware.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F19%2F0017210%2Fnvidia-to-license-its-gpu-tech%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/0017210/nvidia-to-license-its-gpu-tech?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/06/19/0017210/nvidia-to-license-its-gpu-tech?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3880237&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d7a1ff4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665218532/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d7a1ff4/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665218532/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d7a1ff4/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665218532/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d7a1ff4/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/S0gu-8jg6R4" height="1" width="1"/>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 02:10:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d7a1ff4/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C0A0A17210A0Cnvidia0Eto0Elicense0Eits0Egpu0Etech0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillgraphics2013-06-19T02:10:00Zsea-changehardware0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d7a1ff4/l/0Lhardware0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C190C0A0A17210A0Cnvidia0Eto0Elicense0Eits0Egpu0Etech0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/HLdP1c4k2DM/story01.htmAn anonymous reader writes "The MariaDB blog is reporting a small change to the license covering the man pages to MySQL.

When peering with bandwidth provider Cogent starts to reach capacity, Verizon reportedly isn't adding any ports to meet the demand, Cogent CEO Dave Schaffer told GigaOm. 'They are allowing the peer connections to degrade,' Schaffer said. 'Today some of the ports are at 100 percent capacity.' Why would Verizon intentionally disrupt Netflix video streaming for its customers? One possible reason is that Verizon owns a 50% stake in Redbox, the video rental service that contributed to the demise of Blockbuster (and more recently, a direct competitor to Netflix in online streaming). If anything threatens the future of Redbox, whose business model requires customers to visit its vending machines to rent and return DVDs, it's Netflix's instant streaming service, which delivers the same content directly to their screens."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Verizon+Accused+of+Intentionally+Slowing+Netflix+Video+Streaming%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F10v7tKJ"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F18%2F2127242%2Fverizon-accused-of-intentionally-slowing-netflix-video-streaming%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/06/18/2127242/verizon-accused-of-intentionally-slowing-netflix-video-streaming?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/06/18/2127242/verizon-accused-of-intentionally-slowing-netflix-video-streaming?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3879991&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d78932d/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665308343/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d78932d/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665308343/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d78932d/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665308343/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d78932d/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/3CD_5TSifY8" height="1" width="1"/>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:30:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d78932d/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C180C21272420Cverizon0Eaccused0Eof0Eintentionally0Eslowing0Enetflix0Evideo0Estreaming0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillnetworking2013-06-18T23:30:00Z63if-you-can't-trust-giant-corporations,-who-can-you-trusttechnology63,62,45,40,11,7,2http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d78932d/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C180C21272420Cverizon0Eaccused0Eof0Eintentionally0Eslowing0Enetflix0Evideo0Estreaming0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/Qws3PANEVik/story01.htmCraefter writes "It seems that the Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset caught the attention of investors after its showing at E3 this year. Spark Capital and Matrix Partners were able to push $16 million at Oculus VR in the hopes that the product will live up to the hype. The HD unit looks a bit more slick than the ski-goggles-with-a-tablet-glued-to-it prototype, but the device would look even more appealing if the next-gen consoles would commit to supporting it. (We all know how well the PS3's 'wave-stick' did as an afterthought.) That said, major titles like the 9-year-old Half-Life 2 and the 6-year-old Team Fortress 2 are getting full support for the device. Hopefully some developers are looking into support for the Oculus Rift as a launch feature, rather than an addition years after the fact. IA bit like the EAX standard from Soundblaster.

Quoting: 'Years ago I had a clear political opinion. I was a civil-rights activist. I appreciated freedom and anything limiting freedom was a problem to me. Freedom of speech was one of the most important rights for me. I thought that democracy has to be able to survive radical or insulting opinions. In a democracy any opinion should have a right even if it's against democracy. I had been a member of the lawsuit against data preservation in Germany. I supported the German Pirate Party during the last election campaign because of a new censorship law. That I became a KDE developer is clearly linked to the fact that it is a free software community. But over the last years my opinion changed. Nowadays I think that not every opinion needs to be tolerated. I find it completely acceptable to censor certain comments and encourage others to censor, too. What was able to change my opinion in such a radical way? After all I still consider civil rights as extremely important. The answer is simple: Fanboys and trolls.'"<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=KWin+Maintainer%3A+Fanboys+and+Trolls+Are+the+Cancer+Killing+Free+Software%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F16G69UM"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F18%2F2049242%2Fkwin-maintainer-fanboys-and-trolls-are-the-cancer-killing-free-software%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/06/18/2049242/kwin-maintainer-fanboys-and-trolls-are-the-cancer-killing-free-software?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/13/06/18/2049242/kwin-maintainer-fanboys-and-trolls-are-the-cancer-killing-free-software?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3879909&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d787584/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665134888/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d787584/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665134888/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d787584/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665134888/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d787584/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/oEVWegaIZbI" height="1" width="1"/>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:06:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d787584/l/0Lnews0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C180C20A492420Ckwin0Emaintainer0Efanboys0Eand0Etrolls0Eare0Ethe0Ecancer0Ekilling0Efree0Esoftware0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillopensource2013-06-18T22:06:00Zalso:-language-arguments,-phone-debates,-console-warsnews0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d787584/l/0Lnews0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C180C20A492420Ckwin0Emaintainer0Efanboys0Eand0Etrolls0Eare0Ethe0Ecancer0Ekilling0Efree0Esoftware0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmhttp://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/5n5tf3UG6_I/story01.htmThe Washington Post reports that Google has filed a motion challenging the gag orders preventing it from disclosing information about the data requests it receives from government agencies. The motion cites the free speech protections of the First Amendment. "FISA court data requests typically are known only to small numbers of a company&rsquo;s employees. Discussing the requests openly, either within or beyond the walls of an involved company, can violate federal law." From the filing (PDF): "On June 6, 2013, The Guardian newspaper published a story mischaracterizing the scope and nature of Google's receipt of and compliance with foreign intelligence surveillance requests. ... In light of the intense public interest generated by The Guardian's and Post's erroneous articles, and others that have followed them, Google seeks to increase its transparency with users and the public regarding its receipt of national security requests, if any. ... Google's reputation and business has been harmed by the false or misleading reports in the media, and Google's users are concerned by the allegation. Google must respond to such claims with more than generalities. ... In particular, Google seeks a declaratory judgment that Google as a right under the First Amendment to publish ... two aggregate unclassified numbers: (1) the total number of FISA requests it receives, if any; and (2) the total number of users or accounts encompassed within such requests."<p><div class="share_submission" style="position:relative;"> <a class="slashpop" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Google+Files+First+Amendment+Challenge+Against+FISA+Gag+Order%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F100ZrH4"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="slashpop" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftech.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F18%2F2120222%2Fgoogle-files-first-amendment-challenge-against-fisa-gag-order%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook"><img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"></a> <a class="nobg" href="http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/06/18/2120222/google-files-first-amendment-challenge-against-fisa-gag-order?utm_source=slashdot&amp;utm_medium=googleplus" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img src="http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="Share on Google+"/></a> </div></p><p><a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/06/18/2120222/google-files-first-amendment-challenge-against-fisa-gag-order?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed">Read more of this story</a> at Slashdot.</p><iframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discuss&amp;id=3879983&amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"></iframe><img width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d786d93/mf.gif' border='0'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665134058/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d786d93/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665134058/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d786d93/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665134058/u/49/f/647410/c/35028/s/2d786d93/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/5n5tf3UG6_I" height="1" width="1"/>Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:23:00 GMThttp://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d786d93/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C180C2120A2220Cgoogle0Efiles0Efirst0Eamendment0Echallenge0Eagainst0Efisa0Egag0Eorder0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htmSoulskillgoogle2013-06-18T21:23:00Zstraight-to-the-toptechnology0,0,0,0,0,0,0http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/35028/f/647410/s/2d786d93/l/0Ltech0Bslashdot0Borg0Cstory0C130C0A60C180C2120A2220Cgoogle0Efiles0Efirst0Eamendment0Echallenge0Eagainst0Efisa0Egag0Eorder0Dutm0Isource0Frss10B0Amainlinkanon0Gutm0Imedium0Ffeed/story01.htm
