Instead of selling only to ISPs wouldn't it make more sense to offer this service to anyone who had the bandwidth? A larger potential customer base = larger customer base. (in a perfect world)
Wow, this is quite the news. Still though it's all metagame stuff. They will be disbanded for how ever long it takes to reform the alliance. Disbanded game mechanics wise doesn't mean they are out of touch and shooting at each other. They lose sovereignty and some other stuff but in the end they will likely get it back unless goonswarm and friends had a major offensive planned for this occasion.
Not running as a fully-privileged user reduces your security risk? Who knew!
This is not news. The question is why it hasn't been meaningfully addressed in Windows for such a long time.
Indeed this has been known for ages. I'm surprised it's made it to the front page of/.
I think my level 12 wizard fought this in a D&D campaign, if I recall it failed it's fort save and was disintegrated. Though obviously that didn't happen to this one as disintegration leaves only dust as everyone knows.
I feel that manned space flight for the last thirty years or so has been more or less stagnant. I'm hoping the introduction of private sector space initiatives will change this. Only time will tell though.
1) you speak to someone who has the power to set things right educting them on the legal risks and possible get a cookie.
2) You do as above but use this as a chance to push open source software, it's free and legal so why not use it?
3) you keep your mouth shut and just hope no one ever tells on the company.
4) blackmail (for money if you want to be simple
5) keep it in mind if they threaten to lay you off due to budget issues. Nothing like having something on the boss (see above)
All these are pretty sound options, well save maybe blackmail for cash.
A site designed to educate what patent trolling is, and show current examples of patent trolling seems more logical to me.
These cretins hide behind obfustification of the issue. A site that plainly cuts through the BS that is often the case of these trolls is what we need not a 'linux defender'.
Troll the patent trolls don't defend against them.
This seems rather exploitable, I wonder how long before we have viruses that hijack this application when an infected user tries to use it. They are better off with a good online knowledge base for common problems than some 'fix it for me' tool.
Education is the key to solving the most common issues. I remember removing a number of viruses and spyware from this one ladies computer. She would then promptly go back and download the 'games' that gave her the viruses in the first place. Great for income, not so great when the customers accuses of you not fixing a problem the first time around. More times than not I feel like I should be working on the user instead of the PC.
I guess all this goes back to the teach a man to fish analogy.
Somewhat disappointingly, the students actually did have permission to make contact.
I imagine one could get in a lot of trouble prank calling the ISS. Though it it some what difficult to come up with space themed prank calls akin to "Is your refrigerator running". Still though, they got a good grade in the class I'm sure and likely had a lot of fun doing it. I'd say that's a grand accomplishment even if they did have permission to do it.
It's a PDF reader, I know acrobat is crummy but honestly. This seem a bit silly. I use foxit and I'm happy with it. FOSS or not I just need to read the file nothing more.
Survival of the fittest.
Humans are how ever the only species likely to cause massive extinctions to an extent it would destablize the ecosystem and cause a huge host of other problems (in a worst case scenario obviously).
I'm not up to date on the latest cloning methods. So if anything in my speculation is incorrect feel free to point it out. That being said though. If the cloning methods are so inefficient wouldn't the be better off perfecting their cloning methods on species that aren't extinct. So that they don't waste the samples they took of the species, before it was extinct on these failed attempts.
Granted this one lived for seven minutes before it died due to defects and one might be able to take DNA samples from it. The only problem I can see with this is degradation of the DNA. Copies of a copy of a copy until you end up with an unsalvageable DNA.
This entire problem seems reminiscent of the Asgard's problem in the series Stargate SG-1. Granted this is fiction I'm talking about and not reality but it seems that the same thing could happen.

I'm aware of the fact it was planned to be a trilogy. This doesn't really mean anything to me. It's just 2 extra chances they get to mess up.
Because nothing that was "decent" can exist with out a sequel.

I think my head just exploded. Compound, of one element. What next transparent aluminum?
Mod this up. I can't see any real reason for wind forecasts.

As clever as this is it seems like catching the person or persons putting these on wind shields would be simple enough.

First time I'll have been paid to watch porn.
To bad DNA doesn't work like this. This is almost as bad as someone thinking the can make 'atomic super men' ala Futurama.

Naming our machines in odd and amusing ways it our way of secretly rebelling against over management.
I prefer to think that the aliens just forgot to pay their long distance bill last millennium.
Social networking is right up there with the term "Web 2.0" on the list of things I despise.
No I am Spartacus!

Yes it teleported 1 week through space and time. Last week you read about the attempt, this week you read about the sucess.
I for one welcome our new unmanned robotic aircraft overlords!
