That ought to be very interesting for astro-folks. They have a lot of theories of how our Moon was created. This would actually allow them to observe that process, as well.
Cisco is looking for about $1 billion in federal bailout money, according to a report in the Raleigh, N.C., News & Observer. The company expects the U.S. government to fork over $47 billion to high-tech.
Bruce Klein, a Cisco senior vice president, is charged with making sure Cisco gets that share of the money. Cisco can't receive it directly, but only through projects tied to local and state governments that are financed by the stimulus funds, the N&O reports.
So Klein put together teams across Cisco to identify business opportunities with local and state government agencies and other public sector organizations.
Cisco is not alone in looking to capitalize on the influx federal stimulus funds. General Electric and IBM are also lining up stimulus-backed government contracts, the N&O reports.
But should companies shipping jobs to offshore facilities and contractors be eligible to bid on contracts financed by federal stimulus funds?
. . . it's like opening the hood of your new car, and finding a team of miniature Steve Jobs' bike pedaling the drive train while chanting "Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice," and blowing the smoke of hallucinogenic mushrooms out through the catalytic converter while burning their votes for the new Pope living in a Crystal palace in the sky over Apples new headquarters impounded at a dock in Amsterdam . . .
New Zealand has no other choice but to hand Dotcom over. If they don't . . . no more local economy boosting Hollywood films will be made in New Zealand.
I really don't give a rat's ass if Dotcom is convicted or not. However, I find the way that this is being done a bit disturbing. No full access to the evidence against him? This sounds rather like a Soviet denunciation legal procedure.
What do our "I am a Kiwi lawyer" readers have to say about the right of the accused to see the evidence against him in New Zealand? Maybe this is normal there, and nothing special they are doing to railroad Dotcom.
I've seen ATMs still running OS2 / eComStation within the past couple of years.
Probably, because they have been running for the past couple of years. They were started once and just kept running, and never needed to be rebooted.
Warp, eh? I remember it when it was still called Cruiser . . . get off my lawn filled with stacks of OS/2 install diskettes . . . with unfeasibly long titles, that start with: "IBM SAA AD/Cycle OS/2 . . . "
Look, I understand your grief, but we need to be realistic about automobile violence. There are so many automobiles out there already, that change just cannot happen overnight.
Automobile ownership needs to be public record. Then responsible newspapers can mine this data, and create interactive online automobile ownership maps. You will feel much safer if, with one patented click, you can see which of your neighbors owns automobiles.
If automobiles are made illegal, only illegals will have automobiles. Just look at how many drugs and illegals are smuggled over the border from Mexico in automobiles every microsecond every day. If they are already using automobiles to smuggle other stuff, they might just as well smuggle the whole automobile, as well.
However, a real solution to automobile violence could only be solved with a mechanical fix. As everyone knows, the biggest cause of automobile violence is a loose nut behind the steering wheel. But our society just does not have the will to fix that problem.
Modded funny . . . ? I just got back from a business trip to Brussels. The folks there told me that their office was recently burglarized. The thieves took valuable iPads, but didn't touch worthless ThinkPad W520s.
So there is value, in having something, that doesn't look valuable.
Boeing should have called the Call Center Help Line. The first question they always ask, is, "Is the device plugged in correctly?"
I find it mildly amusing that the Airbus A-800 also had problems with the wiring. They blamed that on a mismatch in CATIA system between French and German engineers.
It's amazing, all those high-tech doo-hickies, whatchits and gadgets in the plane. . . and in the end a wiring problem causes the system to fail. Maybe in the future, they can just all use one bus, and get rid of the wiring.
And while it's tempting to follow up with "he should just drop all the lawsuits," it's not that easy -- aside from spooking the public and investors, an exit from legal action wouldn't guarantee that others would do the same.
Oh, I don't personally believe that it is ever too late to end an armed conflict by peaceful measures. Cook could take the lead and arrange a closed doors settlement that would be acceptable to both parties. Apple could come out still with a "don't even think about messing with us" look. Samsung could partially maintain their innocence, although with an extremely contrite demur and admission they won't get into such a mess again.
When the conflict gets to litigation, everyone except the lawyers lose.
It doesn't take much courage to enter a conflict. It takes much character and leadership to end one peacefully.
If the rats are forced to perform this trick, "to receive a sip of water as a reward", I believe the rats will also develop a strong sense of anger. Poor critters, starved of water by evil scientists.
Thirsty rats will probably get quite onery . . . they might be tempted to take a drink from one of those big "bags of mostly water" in the white coats.
Slashdot Mirror
New York City is the headquarters of the United Nations. And the United Nations denied that they have plans to invade Texas: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/24/us-un-texas-duel-idUSBRE87N14A20120824
So if they are denying it, that means that it has already started.
Black invasion helicopters seen flying out of the UN headquarters in New York City in the direction of Texas?
Probably.
. . . claim every Linux user owes them $699, and then sue IBM . . .
Sounds like a fine business plan.
Sure the parents have heard of Facebook by now. And the grandparents, too. That's why some teens are using other things now instead. Teens do not want their parents and grandparents to know what they are up to: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57572154-93/why-teens-are-tiring-of-facebook/

Something like this perhaps?

Spending someone else's money on something they can't afford themselves, and don't really need anyway, in the name of fixing the economy . . . ?
If someone manages to recreate your DNA and then recreate an adult hand from that, I'd say
C) the art of masturbation will probe new dimensions . . .
Are they saying all the Americans are fat birds, unable to fly?
In Third World countries, only the rich can afford to be fat.
In America, only the rich can afford to be thin.
And in America, almost everyone can afford to fly. Which is unfortunate, if you get the middle seat, between two fat folks.
Because prosecuting this crime does not attract big money political campaign donors.

Dress up as The Spanish Inquisition . . . they won't be expecting that . . .
Japan went through the pollution problem, as well. And they solved it in a typical Japanese way, as seen in "Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_vs._Hedorah
Well, maybe a schlocky Chinese movie might at least increase awareness of the problem . . . like, "The Drunken Shaolin Master vs. Cancer" . . . ?

No, it fits perfectly. The highest bidder to Mitnick "secures" himself a victory.
Sounds to me like a lost business opportunity.
Extra strong cider (10% alcohol) might help people who have problems with their Apple products. At least, it will help them forget their problems.

Disappointing headline.
Anyone seen pictures of pieces on the ground ?
Just check eBay. There will be more pieces on offer there, then actually fell to the ground.
Real soon.

I keep a cow in my front yard. The shit keeps the neighborhood kids off my lawn. That's humane for the cow.
But, with all the broken toys, beer bottles and the rusty Chevy up on cinder blocks, the neighbors do refer to my front lawn as a Death Camp.
