Hey if it was up to me I'd name both my twins the same name, different middle names (but same first letter so the middle initial is the same as well) but my wife very very strongly vetoed it.
Isn't. I've seen his drivers license, his name is in fact "H D Moore" (that or he went to some trouble getting a changed/fake license just to carry a "my first name is H. No seriously." story).
But this is a relatively concentrated spill as compared to the runoff from the Mississippi river. Most things aren't a problem if sufficiently diluted ("the solution to pollution is dilution" as the old saying goes, put it up a smoke stack or into a river and it's all good). This is concentrated sufficiently to cause real problems.
Another problem however is that there is no way for a domain holder to check if SSL certificates have been issued in their name from all the SSL providers. There may be someone out there with a certificate in your name and you'll literally never know unless you run into it or someone reports it to you (which is unlikely since it is a legit certificate).
The next time why someone asks why we should fund space exploration as opposed to simply spending money trying to feed starving people it might be good to point this out (along with weather prediction/mapping capabilities/etc.).
Just wait until we get some good designer drugs with no major physical downsides (as opposed to people abusing prescription meds...). It can always get worse (sort of like the middle east).
"But neither the smaller nor larger sheep showed signs of the ventricular fibrillation condition"
is all well and good but I have to wonder if the fact that the sheep were sedated might not help out with this.

So did the creation and implementation of the original network, but because it grew organically over a decade or two this isn't noticed as much, but when you decide to rip it all out and replace it people tend to notice that (because for one thing you need to figure out what exactly you have and how you are using it).
Agreed, the quality of articles has nose dived hugely, and the timeliness is terribly (I usually see things on one of the sub-reddits I subscribe to a day or three earlier than on Slashdot). Slashdot either has to become MUCH more timely (take the reddit route), or add value with analysis/etc. (ala economist.com). Fortunately the discussion at +5 is still reasonably good (there's usually at least 2-3 comments per technical story worth reading once it's had 8-12 hours) which is the only reason I'm still here.
Another reason to choose AMD over Intel, Intel has some CPUs that support the new virtualization extensions and some that don't. AMD OTOH supports the virtualization extensions across the line. That and AMD quad cores are stupid cheap now. Unless you have a really pressing need for a really high end CPU get the AMD.
Actually I cut caffeine out about 5 years ago; all the local Starbucks/Second Cup coffee shops know that "Kurt drinks decaff. Do not give this man caffeine; it makes his nauseous and jittery" (seriously, regular coffee makes me pukey, so I don't drink it). Perhaps you are not used to people being awake and alert at 2am and are projecting a bit =).
Amen brother. One thing I read proposed that as a recessive genetic (dis)order it really makes sense to have a small minority of people who like to be awake at night to stand watch over the rest of the tribe/group.
Insomnia (307.42, DSM IV, pg. 599) [doesn't every geek have a copy of the official guide to crazy human behavior?] is not the word I would use (I don't have a problem getting to sleep or maintaining sleep). I'm a night owl. My whole life I have basically lived ~8 hours behind wherever I live (i.e. I go to bed at 4-5am local time), and I sleep for 8 to 8.5 hours like a clock (seriously, my primary experience of sleep is I put my head down and then *poof* I'm awake, rested, and it's 8 to 8.5 hours later). Fortunately I have found a way to use this to my benefit (tech writer/minimal interruptions, cover stuff that happens at night). But honestly the though of a "regular" 9-5 existence sort of... well horrifies me (when do you normal people run errands? and rush hour, like WTF? you realize that you can belt across a city at 2pm in like 15 minutes, but at rush hour that will easily take an hour). Also added advantages: the internet (locally) is faster (the normals are asleep), no phone/email/SMS/IM/etc. interruptions(the normals are asleep) and as a result I am far more productive.
It doesn't have to be either/or. For example the majority of companies I have dealt with simply buy city water/electricity. If they need a higher grade/etc. they may do things like buy UPSs, line conditioners, backup generators, etc. For water I see chip makers and hospitals/etc. that have expensive water filtration systems to bring the water up to what they need (as opposed to running their own pipe into the river). I suspect computing will go the same way. A lot of people will be happy with whatever outsourcing they use (Gmail, EC2, etc.) and some people with higher needs/legal constraints/etc. will keep certain parts in house or possibly buy a private EC2 cloud at amazon or whatever.
My experience is Solaris shops tend to be a bit more.. ahem.. corporate in nature. I feel badly for Sun admins, Solaris is a pain to modernize, OpenSolaris was a heck a nice solution to that.
"Hi boss, yeah I'd like to use OpenSolaris... No, we specifically can't get support for it from Sun, I mean Oracle... Yeah if it breaks we are totally on our own.... Ok so I guess we're not using OpenSolaris then."
The Bloombox is mostly likely a Capital expenditure, buying electricity is an Operational Expenditure. Different tax rules/etc. that can make the CapEx pay for itself a whole lot quicker. As usual business financing is a lot more subtle than just "does A cost more than B?".
Slashdot Mirror
For all us virtualization types more cheaper cores = more better. The future is in virtualization and I think AMD gets this.

The original article I wrote at http://www.linux-magazine.com/w3/issue/114/054-055_kurt.pdf (that was copied by this guy) covers that:
for the phone verification, you can just use an anonymous prepaid cell and mumble; it’s automated and doesn’t care
The phone check does nothing security wise, it is just a bit of security theater

Uhhh. How do you think we first explored space? We sent probes (aka satellites) up there (Sputnik ring any bells?).

They have this thing now, it's called an automatic transmissions, it's really popular with the kids nowadays I hear.

This makes me angry, I pay just over twice per month and I'm on a 2 year contract. Canada sucks donkey balls for data plans.

With respect to new drugs: why fight your body? Seriously. I've also found that as an *alert* night type person you can easily make a killing.
