Ahhh...yes, I thought there might be some insight there: David Levine: And along with the drastic CPTO reform I ask for in my book (on shelves today!), I'd like a pony.
I kid, I kid. It is noble, albeit in a kind-of-"legalize all drugs NOW"-despite-not-being-able-to-predict/prepare-for-the-consequences way.
Anyone else thinking this might be part of the Conficker worm activating/updating? Maybe some similar kind of behavior will begin appearing for each of the other major AV suites.
That bot-net is going to be activated eventually...
I think this is a reasonable use of police powers...
HA! This won't be reasonable in my mind until the only situation that they're combining their powers is when they turn into Captain Planet...any other time besides that = unacceptable!!
...but the only problem that I have with his writing style is that it occasionally gets painfully repetitive. He'll make a point, support it with an argument, make the point again, support it some more, revisit the point and give a summary of his previous arguments, then make more arguments to support his point.
I, too, hate thorough discussion of an interesting point. I would much rather he appealed to -- OMG A SQUIRREL!! BRB!!
It's perhaps similar to what has been said about sex: to turn out really well, it requires both experience and enthusiasm, and no amount of one can compensate for a complete lack of the other.:-)
Given your audience, perhaps a car analogy would have been better...
From the original text of the Peace Corp Act (emphasis mine): to promote world peace and friendship through a Peace Corps, which shall make available to interested countries and areas men and women of the United States qualified for service abroad and willing to serve, under conditions of hardship if necessary, to help the peoples of such countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained manpower.
And now they're begging for money to save frogs. Is there really no more need in the world for "trained men and women"? Or even in Panama (the focus of this slashvertisement)? Well, by all means, then, change the focus/goals of your (gov't funded) organization. But please reflect it on your own website. And then explain to all those poor bastards that could apparently use trained/skilled workers, that they'll just have to get by with their current medicine/infrastructure/agriculture workforce until the frogs are taken care of.
Perhaps you meant that they're primary revenue stream is from advertising. I absolutely agree. But they're primary focus (in terms of resources allocated) still remains in development/refining/protection-of their search results algorithm. The relevancy of their search results has always been their greatest product - without it all that advertising revenue would vanish. Advertising?! They haven't spent 1/2 the same time/energy managing their advertisers. They may not always be, but they have been so far, primarily a search engine.

Not hardly. Please don't do that - don't start another MS myth.
Algotithms such as these have been in existence since...
Someone should have told Google back in 2000 that such a thing as a web search results algorithm already existed. Hell the phrase "search engine" had originated years before Larry and Sergey even thought of Google. Those fools thought they could make money off of improving a previously existing technology with their own patentable work--such silliness.
Sorry your patent would all under the scope of one Microsoft's early patents #313378008: "Method for Abusing the Patent System in Every Conceivable Way"

"Anonymous Coward" is a well-known twitter sock puppet.

Also, fuck you.
Forgot to check the "Post Anonymously" box, eh?
How many beers before she asks you to untie her - all the while promising you that she won't tell the police?
Well I would imagine the excess employees will be much in demand as witnesses.
We've always known when it comes to the RIAA there's more than meets the eye, but witnesses would truly help expose their deceptive cons.
Almost all of you, looking at this from a computer...
I'm reading this from a punch-card printout, you insensitive clod!

I can't wait to see Ballmer get excited about that...

I confess that not knowing who mark shutlleworth may be, I do not understand what you wanted to announce.
I think you're on the wrong site. Here's where you probably wanted to go: Unfortunately even they have Linux-related articles every now and then.
...instead of investing too much money in weapons. This is very reasonable because violence can not** be stopped by more violence.
** except in the case of 99.9% of wars, genocides, personal struggles, and all other forms of violence.
