This is somewhat off topic, but I've always thought of Library Genesis as a modern-day Library of Alexandria. Both contain vast stores of priceless knowledge, and both employ(ed) somewhat less than optimal means of obtaining their books.
I wonder if the individuals who wrote that report can see the similarities too. It's going to be a sad day if they manage to raze LibGen as well.

Disappointing, but a good reminder to not trust 3rd party services with sensitive data regardless.

There's a distinction made between individuals that follow society's rules and those that break them on a massive scale for financial gain (or other reasons).
Re:Panopticlick – How Unique, and Trackable, Is Your Browser?

Install Noscript. Torbutton helps, but for those who don't want to use the outdated tor browser bundle you can also try Blender (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/blender-1/).
What we really need is a modified ``privacy'' build of FF that reports spoofed js/css data (screen res etc), but I'm not skilled enough in web stuff to make that.

Great concept, but I'm not sure how comfortable I would be with a plugin that sends a list of active files to a website (even if it is SSL-secured).

The discrepancy between what's written on the board and what the students copied down on their papers in that picture is bothering me just a bit.

Re:Ethiopian Kids Hacked Their Donated Tablets In Just Five Months

I've seen this article five or so times now, but what's always missing is what they did that counts as "hacking" the tablet. Was it changing a (hidden) setting in the camera preferences file? Disabling some sort of monitoring software (and if so, how)? Reverse engineering a preexisting binary on the device?
Re:Windows 8 Thunders Past Mac OS X on Steam
on Monday December 03, 2012 @04:13PM (#4867862)
No. According to the Steam hardware survey, for November 2012 Win8x64 has a 4.25% install base (less than WinVistax64). Win8x32 has .44%, so Win8 has a combined percentage of 4.69%. By comparison, the top four OSX versions have a combined percentage of 3.26%. WinXP has a combined percentage of 10.83%, and Linux isn't even a blip on their radar.
Re:The new Acer Chromebook

Is there any word of a 3G version? The free 100MB/month is the only appealing thing I can see about Chromebooks right now.
