It's not an issue about people having my info, it's all the effort of typing something in. And quite frankly, whats the problem with pointing out a similar story? (that was published a week ago incidently)
If anyone is interested in something about robots, but on a some what lighter note, try this article at the BBC. It's a robot that roams farms tracking and picking up slugs- the best bit is that it is fueled by their decomposing bodies!
can't be bother with the account? try this story

the BBC have a piece here that doesn't require all that messing about with an account.
Linux really has a the advantage of being theoretically in constant development for decades.
And MacOS X doesn't have this? In case you haven't been paying attention, X is unix underneath- about the only thing left from the NeXT computer- and can so claim that same *theoretical* decades long constant development.
Wouldn't know about the US of A, but in the UK Need to know carries most of the (British) legal news and so on, snears at it and provides links that can help- such as www.faxyourmp.co.uk
I understand they also play up the love story between Aaragorn and whets-her-name a bit, but hey if this means I get to take a chick to see it that's fine by me;-)
If you do manage to do it though, you will have a totally secure encryption channel (you can't snoop it) with no latency. Useful stuff...
Sounds great, but it's not going to be something 'off the shelf' or downloadable is it? Meanwhile whatever governmental agency (of whatever government) will be able to afford and use these things....
Indeed, even when this becomes practical it sounds like it will be very expensive. It would also be much easy to legislate for and enforce a ban on civilian use of these devices. Afterall once the code for PGP got out anyone with a compiler could use it, even with a number of books on quantum physics and computing it would still require a massively expensive lab to build these devices.
Looks like we've only got a couple of years of privacy left then...

What's worse is the redundant comments. What is redundant without context?
True, and it's not that easy to tell who posted first out of 900 or so comments anyway

You never see the context in metamod though, and context-less (and hence topic-less) that comment is probably offtopic and lazy metamoders can't be bothered to check.
Even more offtopic, mod me down if you dare, I didn't want that karma anyhow;-)
And that's way Lucas can't be bothered to make Episodes 2 and 3 any good (just like he didn't with Episode 1. You dumb fanboys will be in the queue anyway, buy the tacky merchandise (which is meant for 6 year olds) and he'll laugh all the way home to the ranch- via the bank
reminds me of a joke regarding maps. The people wanted the most accurate map possible, so they made it on a 1-1 scale. Only problem was they had to unfold it over the country to look at it...
Want an easy and cheap weather forecast? 'Tomorrow it will be like today' is a general thumb which is correct the majority of the time. Not much use for forecasts 1000 years hence, but handy for planning that camping trip/ sunbathing session/whatever tomorrow- and which is more useful to Joe Average?
Having said that the shear scale and technical spec of this thing has me drooling- wouldn't be great to run SETI off this, they'd never need us @home peeps again!
Oh, and before someone else says it- howabout Quake on a Beowulf cluster of these;-).....
Check this article from British paper The Guardian for a good account of why a lot of occupying soldiers will be killed if they attempt to hold Afganistan...
Staying neutral though is not changing what they were playing though surely? If the listeners wanted 'Imagine' last week they'll probably want it this week too- maybe more so- if nothing else it is a great song

the BBC has this piece on laser mapping of the rubble.
How intuitive now that you mention it. Would it have been too much to have mentioned this in the story?
Whats going on with the link? Sure doesn't lead to any story...

Zonnald seems to be right, I got the fullscreen .zip first try- and v. quickly too. Not much use if your on a modem though I guess

Just got word from a friend who works in the Anti-Virus market. The working title for this is W32/nimda.a they are working on it obviously...
I think this might be the link they were looking for... http://slashdot.org/articles/00/03/09/0854215.shtm l
the old slashdot link hasn't been completed, doesn't work...

I thought it was a unisex name in any English-speaking country, it certainly is here in England and isn't Kim Stanley Robinson a bloke?
