Huh? I think you mean that 17% of 37 billion would have made everyone on earth about a 1-dollaraire. That's useful.
If there are ~5 billion people on the earth, and each one was a millionaire, that's 5e9*1e6=5e15 or 5,000 trillion dollars. Now that would be a rather large gift.

Network neutrality is a concept, not a technology.
Concepts alone make poor laws - the devil is in the details. As you correctly point out:
In other words, the actions of government are driven by big bad corporations who have the money to pay for lobbiests. Somehow you didn't come to the obvious conclusion however that putting limits on this lobbying (normal people call such a thing regulation) is the solution here?
Witness how well campaign finance "reform" has worked, the same general concept as applied to the political process rather than the net. Another fine concept translated poorly into law. Or CAN-SPAM, for that matter.
Network neutrality is a concept that is fundamental to an open and fair market
I don't disagree. I do worry that what you want "network neutrality" to mean isn't what will actually happen after the process is through with it. A productive thing proponents should be doing: try to imagine the ways the concept will be distorted by either the process or the march of technology (which, as much as you might like to dismiss it, is coupled pretty closely to any implementation). Then, figure out how to head this distortion off at the pass.
This argument is often used when arguing against net neutrality, however, those who make the argument fail to actually provide any kind of logical reasoning as to why this would happen.
The US govt. has a long history of un-leveling playing fields with regulation as the tool. Considering the process (clueless politicians writing laws with input from paid lobbiests with axes to grind), this is not suprising.
In the cases where the process somehow manages to get it right, the technology has eventually changed out from under the regulation and broken whatever used to mostly work. Does anyone really think that this particular technology is going to change less rapidly than previous communication technologies?
I guess I trust the market to be able to adapt faster than the Feds, and have a pretty high threshold before being convinced that any given random new law/regulation is worth the copious paper it will get printed on.
So, convince me - how will net.neutrality survive the test of time and special interests?
Not quite - the SK result has been confirmed several times (to less precision) by other atmospheric neutrino experiments.
And once before by the K2K accelerator experiment, which was (like MINOS) a controlled, make-your-own-neutrinos, measured-before-and-after sort of experiment. Although one might argue since that used SK as a far detector that it might not be as independant a confirmation as you might like.
The MINOS result is nice because in the first 6 months of a multi-year run, we already have the precision of the K2K results, and that all the experiments point to a similar number. Which makes us feel good that after a few more years work we'll have accomplished the goal of measuring these oscillations way more precisely than ever before, and will have a shot at uncovering more subtle things going on with the neutrinos.
But, that doesn't make good headlines, so you won't read that take on things in the popular press. Same reason as we get a rash of "black holes finally discovered" articles every six months when someone presents some new black hole observations at an AAS meeting.
Fox News had a fun headline though, something like "Feds lose neutrinos, gain knowledge".
PS - note that I'm on both Super-K and MINOS, in fact I created my slashdot account in 1998 to respond to comments about that first SK result. It's pretty neat that doing the experiment a completely different way still shows the same thing happening - so Mother Nature must be up to something real here.
PPS - if you're up in Northern MN for some reason (likely canoeing or fishing) do stop by the Soudan Underground State Park on your way to Ely to take a tour of our lab (and the historic mine). Add a proper geeky component to your otherwise dangerously outdoorsy vacation.
Wouldn't help - we've got hundreds of pounds of moon rocks brought back by the Apollo missions. Any good geologist could poke at one in his lab and verify they came from the moon. In fact, many do, since one can borrow the things for research.
Doesn't stop the conspiracy theorists. The rocks were brought back by an unmanned probe, they're all meteors, the geologists are all in on the conspiracy, etc. It's amazing how easy arguments become when one throws Occam's Razor out the window.
It is also ironic that the US flag is under the Slashdot whilst talking about Australia. We are after all the 53rd state (after the UK and Canada
An Australian friend used to say that the only real difference between the early American and Australian settlers was that the Americans were the crooks who managed to get away.

None of this would happen if there was no money driving the attacks. How to make it not financially worthwhile to pay people to spam for you should be the question.
People in this thread have mentioned a number of things which would make such spam more technically difficult to pull off, none of which would be foolproof.
However, some combination of these techniques could be used by the search engine (handy, that Google the Blogspot-owner-victim is also the search engine being manipulated) to simply flag spammy links internally. And then use them as negative modifiers in its pagerank algorithm. So, questionable attempts to google bomb your site makes it drop off the face of google. Silently.
Sure, this could be abused to try and stifle competitor's pageranking. But that's a second order effect, within the realm of possibility to manually correct, as a whitelist of commercial targets bad guys have tried to frame has got to be more easy to maintain than a blacklist of fly-by-night spam sellers.
National Geographic does have ads, but pleasantly seperated into the pages right at the beginning and end of the issue. Usually relevant ones too, lots of photography related ads.

You're assuming that the data on the driver's license will be correct---i.e., that it will list the bearer's current visa status.

For what it's worth, this is how fire departments started out in the 1800's. They were a service of your insurance company. Sort of like how some health insurance companies give subscribers reduced cost health club memberships to try and keep their costs down, some property insurance companies came with their own fire trucks.

> How many holes have there been in Apache, SSL, > Samba, any other program that's installed by default?
That's part of the point, though. Even if those programs you mention are installed by default (they are on RH "server" installs, but not otherwise), they aren't enabled by default. Even on something as old as RH 5.
People who feel the need to go out of their way to enable those things are also more likely to feel the need to update them. Although there are always bozos included in any sweeping generality:)
Aside from the many hours of my life sunk into the game, there was more than one occasion when driving home after playing netrek for too long I felt the quite natural urge to ogg the oncoming traffic.

Why don't you ever see packages containing only the clients for telnet and ssh?
A bit of rpm querying and grepping on my RH8 box produces:
telnet-server-0.17-23
telnet-0.17-23
openssh-clients-3.4p1-2
openssh-server-3.4p1-2
been that way for a long while, and is the same in most distros. I had to go out of my way to get the servers installed.
Why don't you ever see MTA packages configured not to accept anything from outside of the machine?
Again, speaking from a RH perspective - sendmail on the last several versions of RH have disabled this by default. Quite the rude suprise it was when upgrading my mail server, too (I know, I should read the release notes).

I do, and I of course follow the rules you list. Education won't stop a child from being stupid. This is why we have plastic covers on the wall sockets, too.
But, at some point during the teenage years kids brains turn on, and hopefully as a parent you've given them enough education that they make the right choices. And the largest problem with "kids" and guns/ATVs/cars/whatever are teenagers, who don't have to be able to crack Dad's gunsafe, toolbox, or ignition to lay hands on dangerous tools.

The reply:
One due to improper storage of a firearm
Yes. Tragic. Things need to be done to prevent things like this. Unfortunately, educating kids about firearms isn't the tact the political left cares to take, they'd rather go head to head with the right on the gun part of the equation, ensuring that nothing gets done overall.
one by improper use of a firearm.
Huh? How can defending oneself from a violent armed robber be improper? Although it apparently is in Great Britain. (see the case of Tony Martin)
The discontinuity in perceptions here (both between this Canadian poster and my American self, and the US self-defense laws and their British counterparts) is something I do not understand at all, but has to have a lot to due with the debate.
In this case, only one could be attributed to 'gun violence', but here in Canada, there are laws regarding gun storage.
There are in the US too, although not universally. The problem with the wide-ranging efforts to implement something have been that they have usually been poorly disguised gun-banning efforts. The biggest problem with such an emotional debate is that there is no room for useful compromise.
Personally, I wonder about placing the responsibility where it belongs. People who let kids get ahold of unsupervised guns are the worry. General laws which place extra restrictions on me, even though I'm already being safe, are what bug me.
Since my thesis experiment was in Italy but I was back in Indiana while writing up, I backed stuff up over the net to computers at the Italian lab, plus several different computers at IU. Each location was a mainframe (go VMS!) with its own IT professionals backing up those disks too.
So, to lose my thesis, meteors would have to hit simultaneously on opposite sides of the world, at which point I'd have far larger problems than graduating:)
Hubble isn't good enough to see a lander. but a similar thing has been done. While up there, the astronauts left reflectors. People on earth routinely bounce lasers off these reflectors to carefully measure the earth-moon distance.

No problem - someone's head has been saved by the ever-helpful Slashdot readership, who have melted down the server already. So keep on clicking until the markets close:)
The Japanese neutrino detector, Kamiokande, was constructed to observe neutron collapse. It failed.
You mean proton decay. Neutron decay is easy.
Yes, it didn't see proton decay - but in that, oddly enough, it succeeded in ruling out the prevailing Grand Unified Theory of the day ("SU5"). That's one way how science works, theorists come up with a good idea, experimentalists go looking for it, and often as not it's back to the drawing board for the theorists. And, by the way, there's little doubt that if a proton had decayed, theyd've seen it (decaying protons are also hard to miss). Proton decay at some very low rate is a feature of most GUT's, and lots of people are still actively looking for it.
However, the same apparatus turned out to be useful at seeing neutrinos (the background in the proton decay search). Koshiba saw how this could be applied to the solar neutrino puzzle that Davis had found, and modified his detector to be sensitive to these low energy neutrinos. This not only confirmed the presence of these suspected solar neutrinos but pointed them back at the Sun, proving their origin. More science at work - following up on other people's odd measurements to see what really might be going on.
Lastly, Koshiba had little to do with Super-K's tube implosion accident. Which, by the way, happened after 5 years of incredibly successful data taking. Everyone should be so lucky as to make such a "mistake". And by the way, the first water started flowing back into the newly repaired Super-K last week. It will be back on the air come January.
Kamiokande confirmed Davis' results, but so did gallium experiments in what was then the USSR and in Italy.
Kamiokande could tell the direction the neutrinos were coming from (the Sun), the radiochemical experiments can't. That's a pretty important piece of the puzzle.
Seriously, IRIX is about as stable as Windows 95. Have you ever used it? Or just lusted after the hardware, nerd-boys?
Yep, used it more than a bit. A wide variety of workstations, from the very old to brand new, with a central 4-CPU Origin system serving most of the disk space and batch CPU cycles. With the exception of one creaky old Indy-2 box (which locked up every few months for no apparent reason), these machines would get rebooted only to upgrade the OS to the next release.
Case in point: At my son's first birthday, I went back to check out the new baby pictures I had whipped together on a Zope server back when he as born. The same Zope process was still running! (I'd started it manually, not through init.d stuff, as it was a temporary thing to appease the relatives)
And that's with a building full of high-energy particle physicists doing lots of data crunching, although for CPU-years of time we'd send jobs upstairs to the O2000 massively parallel SGI (which is a whole 'nother plane of coolness).
So, have YOU ever actually used irix, flame-boy?
