Where Homer opens a bag of chips and they end up all over the Command Module. It could have happened with a Box of Ritz. Well, that's the first thought I had when I saw the headline...
I've personally witnessed someone using a sniffer to watch e-mail being written.
Uhh, you might have watched a sniffer capturing email being sent as a selection of packets, but not being as it's written. Not unless it was a hardware sniffer using a Tempest attack, aka Van Eck Phreaking. See Cryptonomicon.
In the first instance Diff, or one of it's siblings, should be enough to identify where the variations are, CVS could used to store the canonical version of the map. That is providing Caldera open it in a form similar to the example posted here.
It's in Alpha Centauri with the effect of one extra talent per base, but I don't remember it in any of the Civ(I,II,CTP) versions. However, I may well be wrong.
Given Celera's previous glitch, will the two Genome maps be combined and compared to give a better idea of overall accuracy, or will one be pandering to the private Sector, the other to the public sector?
It's actually Glasgow, as in the Scottish City. Perhaps there is a parallel to the code name of the next version of Java Beans? If not, it seems pretty coincidental...
For some reason, I read this the first time as "Perl-sensitive sunglasses" which sparked off a whole thread in my head about sunglasses doing your syntax hilighting for you.
Considering the ones given away free with the game were totally black(you know, like DeSato black), and the ones that Zaphod wore went black as soon as he was in danger, they could be useful for anyone with a hatred of Perl. I wish I had Ada sensitive sunglasses when I was at Uni...
I suspect this might be the Streambox Ripper vs. RealNetworks case, but I obviously can't be sure. However, given the context of the case, and the content of that case, I think it just might be it.
So who owns the songs?

What if there is a track by an independent artist in the UK, which is then licensed to a major label in the US? Who then dictates whether or not the track is available on Napster? The artist should be the one that decides, not the Major Label if it has licensed the track, as the artist might be quite happy for the track to exist electronically. Are we now to expect clauses in Record contracts that explicitly state that the label that owns the work, not the artist, and as such the artist would be pirating their own work? Somehow I think that's pretty unfair, and I think the worst part of it is Michael Knobend or whatever his name is of mp3.com getting his digs in. You're a hypocrite, Michael, and just jealous you didn't think of a distributed client.
If it's running AOL, what about the possibility of using your local or preferred ISP on it, or would we have to wait for an I-Opener type hack to be able to use an alternative? I can't say I like where this is going, AOL is not the internet, a huge BBS perhaps, but not the be all and end all of the internet. Perhaps Glorified BBS appliance would be more suitable?
I suppose you could draw parallels to the 'give a man a fish' ideal, but in this case it would be Give a man a buck, he eats for a day, give a man the tools to make a buck, he eats for a lifetime. I guess this is a good idea in that you have the aforementioned burned out techies put to good use as teachers, otherwise the alternative would be to ship them to the third world for someone to eat...
OK, if they are likely to be using Win98, you could start with WSH/VBScript for a basic understanding of the innards of the computer, then from there scale up to web type stuff with VBScript in Active Server Pages, and from VBScript to VB. OK, it's quick and dirty, but it's pretty easy to throw a small program together, and fairly easy to debug. If they can get to that point and still be interested, I'm sure you can hook them into a 'real' programming language & operating system...
This states that napster is about to be given a large whack of cash ($15million) by the Venture Capital firm Hummer Winblad. So who do you think is going to win, Corporation or Government? BTW, 'PPI defines Third Way proposals in Napster debate', no, I don't like the sound of that one bit.
In case anyone missed it, Howard King, the lawyer in this case has accused the metallica file sharers of being liars, because every one on them was 'making Metallica tracks available for upload'. This man is a fool. Additionally, what's to stop the profusion of the warez naming convention arising? How long before m3t4771c4 or similar is de-rigeur?

Go here for links to the image and the appropriate software.
And then we could give it to the Dolphins...

If MTV is blocked, do you work for Alternative Tentacles?
The Dreamcast is Windows CE compatible, not Windows CE dependant. Some games use the Sega API, others use Windows CE. See here for some details.
Wasn't that Quake2?
