The key combo to enable the flightsim is reported to vary, I had to press Ctrl+WinKey+A to enable it (Kubuntu).
In case you're having difficulties, try changing the value in the file.googleearth/Registry/google/googleearthplus/User/ flightsim/isenabled manually from 0 to 1 and the flightsim should appear in the tools menu.
Not quite. The date on the page at billiger-surfen.de is most probably a typo. The news came from a T-Online press release dated November 14 which is even available in English. Please try to get your facts straight before you start complaining. HTH.
As somebody else said already, the story was retracted after I submitted it. Apparently a technician changed the DNS entries without authorization from his superiors to demonstrate how easily it could be circumvented. But the state government is still trying to get the ISPs to adapt these measures. Read more about it here.
some of which I have been analysing at the Neils Bohr Institute in Kaiserslautern, Germany
Nice attempt at a troll, but you should at least try to get your stuff consistent. There is no Neils Bohr Institute in Germany. It is the Niels Bohr institute (site is here) and it is in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein warned about the unthinking application of technology all the way back in 1803.
Mary Shelley could not have written Frankenstein in 1803, I doubt she wrote anything back then - since she was only six years old in 1803. She was born in 1797 and wrote Frankenstein around 1816. It was published in 1818. You can read more about her life at http://www.kimwoodbridge.com/maryshel/life.shtml. The full text of the book can be found here. -----
There is a little bit more background info on WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) here. It's also from Techreview and mentioned in the article, but w/o link. And no, that's not a goatse link.
A little OT, but have you noticed Slashdot is serving doubleclick.net ads lately? What a change after all this. Let's just hope it's not gonna be the 'Biggest Advertising Mistake Ever'...
BTW, how many rounds per minute does an UZI fire? Be nice to know how long you could spray with that 5 foot tall, 300 round UZI clip.
According to this page, the Uzi SMG fires 600 rounds per minute, so your clip would last 30 seconds. The Micro and Mini SMG models are able to fire at up to 1700 rounds/minute though. HTH...
There is also a MP3 of Tolkien reading an elvish poem on the page. It the one that starts with "Ailaurie lantar lassi surinen" from Book II, Chapter VIII.
I'm sort of sceptical on this. I mean, one of the top reasons why I go to movie theaters is to watch the movie on a huge ass screen. Sure, I could watch the movie on my computer or on TV, but it's just not the same to watch, say, StarWars on a computer screen and in a movie theater...
... the band range the licenses for which the German government is about to auction off with an expected profit of $50,000,000,000 ?
Close, but not it. UMTS operates between 1.885 and 2.2 GHz.
The spectrum for UMTS has been identified as frequency bands 1885-2025 MHz for future IMT-2000 systems, and 1980-2010 MHz and 2170-2200 MHz for the satellite portion of UMTS systems.

JK: It's the dystopian future of 2026. I thought that it was the dystopian future of 2050 or so.
It is 2056 for 2nd edition or 2060 for 3rd edition, to exact.
JK:Shadowrunners are the individualists who live on the margins, able to "slide like a whisper" through the databases of giant corporations, spiriting away the only thing of real value -- information. You describe "deckers", a subcategory of shadowrunners.
I think that's not JK describing. IIRC, that's right of the cover of 2nd edition.

Please karmawhore with your own material if you have to.
Well, according to the IEC standard, one petabyte is 10^15 (or 1e+15) bytes, while one pebibyte is 2^50 (or 1.125899e+15) bytes.
So 144 petabytes is 1.44e+17 bytes or 127.89769 pebibytes. Can't say that's more impressive tho. :P

Maybe he was having some kind of /. seizure.
There is also a relatively short article about it available without subscription; its here.
A good place to start for this question would be the Usenet JPEG FAQ; the question is answered here.

Is there a character limit for meta tags?
Yes, I think it's at about 255 chars.
We're whalers on the moon.
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain't no whales
so we tell tall tales
and sing our whaling tune!

I guess they planned to bring it out as a computer rpg, but never got to it.
