Fry is rapidly building his geek-cred. He was great friends with Douglas Adams and the Monty Pythons, and now he promotes GNU. And wasn't he a character in some animated geek series?
True, but Nordrhein-Westfalen is the most populous of the states. What happens there is a lot more visible and important than what happens in, say, Thüringen.
What's the difference? Surely it doesn't matter what the the actual reason internally in YouTube is, if the consequence is a strengthening of free speech?
For reasons which are unclear, the IT department then suggested that the RIAA next time send them 'notices to preserve information,' in response to which they would preserve, rather than overwrite, the DHCP data, for the RIAA's forensic benefit.
Why? The RIAA is not a court of law or even a government agency. Surely the university would have no obligation to comply with its requests? Talking about the RIAA in these terms ("notices", "forensic") lends it unwarranted legitimacy and authority.
Isn't it better that Shell uses some of its unbelievably vast resources to actually find a solution to the problems they have partly created, than that the taxpayers do?
In my experience, this only applies if you are in the US. In many other countries, decent sci-fi can be hard to come by in shops, let alone in libraries.
Apparently, the major problem with cancer is that it isnt't just one disease, it's a whole myriad of conditions with one common characteristic - uncontrolled cell division. Finding one factor that brakes or halts growth in all cancers is a bit of a holy grail for scientists, and this enzyme seems to have at least some of the hallmarks.
Just make sure the prize doesn't absolutely have to be awarded each and every year, like the Nobel Prize. Just reward the stuff that's actually revolutionary. Those thing don't come along that often.
It seems that any actual societal progress comes from Europe these days, while the US is sinking deeper into a Republican/corporate mire. This is just another example.

No, that would be Max Planck.

Talk about leaving a meaningful legacy... He sure made the most of his last months.

to Gandalf de Grey? He was pretty old.
How do you sell your job, exactly? No really, I want to know.
Seriously, is anyone surprised when a Republican wants to erode civil liberties?

"Play, my little humans, play! Muah ha ha haaa!"
"Trust me, the future of Apple and Google may look bright from an economic standpoint, but these companies will be hated one day too. Sad, but true."
Why is this sad? Surely being suspicious of powerful entities is one of the better human qualities.
'Someone in Beijing is trying to send us a message,' Brooks-LaSure said. What happened to just writing a letter?
...I have a pocket reference to regular expressions.

Apparently, it's made from 30% iron, 40% zinc, 40% titanium, 40% dolomite and an unknown quantity of osmium. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bender_(Futurama)/

It should be mentioned that NRK is owned by the Norwegian government, and that the programmes are not advertisement sponsored.
Yeah! And can you imagine how many days in Iraq those millions might have bought us? Like almost a week?
As someone said: Destroy both religion and science. Science will rise again exactly the same. But no religion will.

From the summary: tens of thousands of Web pages hosting exploits showing up on the first page of Google searches for thousands of common terms
So, how do you tell the difference between this and any normal Google results page?
