I have to believe you're kidding (Think about the children. THE CHILDREN!!!!).
However, I wanted to point out that if it turns out to be a scam, the $3M is going to be redistributed to other winners (like people who only hit on 5 races). If this was theft, it was theft from other folk who made bets.

So, it requires *less* power once set, not *no* power. I suspect pixels will reset if all power is cut.
A perfect example of why HIPAA won't work. I don't mind that the slashdot editors got it wrong, but here is someone who is "in charge of tons of HIPAAA stuff" and he doesn't know that it is "HIPAA" not "HIPAAA".

That's what I wanted my wife to do, but she owns the practice.
I think you meant to make a good point, but you screwed up. It wouldn't matter if mobsters had invested in the stock market. It would only matter if we had invested in the mobsters. The proper analogy is if our 401Ks had invested in a stock for "Murder, Inc." and then "Murder, Inc." is busted because it does just what its name implies.
I don't disagree that we should go after these companies. I just thought your analogy was a bit off.
According to the advisory, the trojan sets up a tunnel to an intruder controlled system. I think that system would be a pretty decent place to investigate.
How about this: My employer outsourced IT (I work for a department & wasn't included - but that will change soon). I just found out that the outsourcing company has outsourced the outsourcing. They couldn't handle the desktop support so they outsourced it.
I think the history of computer sales shows that cheaper usually wins. Look at the companies that were on top. They often sold an inferior product at a much lower price. Sun kicked ass because at the time their solutions were cheaper. Same goes for PC vs Apple.
Every place you look you see PHB's making decisions based on the bottom line without even considering anything else. Sure there are people who want to cover their ass ("nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM"). However, generally, if you can show them another solution is cheaper, they'll go for it (even if it is the wrong solution!)

You had a VT52? All I had were 8 LEDs and a hexadecimal keypad. ...in the snow.

Heart attacks are never as funny to the person experiencing them as they are to the people standing around and watching.

If I were smart, I'd say, "Why, yes, it was intentional."
It wasn't. Just a typo.
As long as their computers are preinstalled with Windows, no one cares what perverse hobbies Bil enjoys.
I guess it's an example of both ;-)

Aside from one of my own PCs I don't even see 5" floppy drives much anymore.

WHAT?!?!?
Have you actually read anything posted on slashdot?

#1) The soil is already contaminated (that's where the plants are getting it from).
#2) Hopefully they'll use plants that can be easily harvested & removed from the environment (like cabbage). I think that's the point.
My God, that's funny! What an idiot. Why didn't he make the code phrase "a Big Mac"? Or maybe "a Pair of Shoes"?
No, use the code phrase "extra biscuits". No one would ever say that at the KFC drive-through. Right.

What about those of us who work in the basement underneath heavily shielded MR & CT scanners?
Wrong, he will lose unless the defendant's can't afford lawyers.
I can't help thinking that this is a list of Frequently Asked Questions that just aren't frequently asked.

They went to all that trouble to explain why to call it GNU/Linux, and they didn't say how to call it GNU/Linux. Not even a link to the manifesto.
FYI: It would be Gahnu/Leenooks, but that looks like someone just puked.
Sorry, RMS, I'm not convinced. I'm too lazy to say that. I'll refer to it as Linux.
I'd be willing to go as far as G/Linux (Gleenooks).

Yeah, but we did it better, because we had the good sense to sell our freedom to the corporations right away.
If the Soviet Union had been sponsered by Pepsi, it would still be around today.
Sometimes no one had the job before. That is also an oversimplification, but you should think about that too.
It also establishes that married, churchgoing people are willing to steal. After all, she wasn't sending *her* money.

She must be using her bible to prop up the short leg on the kitchen table
