Actually, it's even worse journalism to post a title like that on slashdot. Some computer dork probably saw it and thought they were responsible thanks to their quake-playing habits.
Wouldn't that be great if we found this to be true, and it turned out that the earthquake was Earth's mechanism to correct the shift in time? Those contries out there are mad enough at us as it is for global warming causing their islands to eventually become submerged, but now if they had this to blame on us as well...
That is assuming events like this have not occured, in which there is basically time flux that isn't accounted for in there. For all we know, the earth could be slowing down and speeding up within a given limit (i.e. say +/-5 seconds). Now, knowing this earthquake along with the fold in the crust sped up the Earth's rotation, what would the earth be doing to counteract this? This is probably why all of this is related. All the volcanic erruptions and earthquakes pushing crust upward contribute to pushing earth material towards the surface, that would slow the planet, but is this happening on a consistant basis, sort of an equilibrium effect, where so many of these activities slowing the rotation cause the opposite activity to speed the rotation? Would this be a chapter in Geology, or would this spark an entirely new subject: the Planetary lifecycles? Today we will be talking about the homeostasis of a planet, class.
Imagine if the police forced Yahoo! To take down their site when France's law against trading Nazi memorbelia was found to make their auctioning illegal. I know Yahoo! isn't a necessity and occasionally a necessary evil, but it still contributes a lot to the 'net, and it would be hard to imagine the internet without it. Who knows what suprnova could have become some day.
It sounds more like they took down their sites so they could keep everybody anonymous before RIAA and MPAA process servers knocked at their doors subpoenaing the databases listing the file servers so they could find out who they need to sue.
'Hundreds' is right! I searched their "comment" pdf for slashdot and had to tell it to stop at around 500 and I'm sure it would have kept going for quite some time.
"I doesn't matter in 99% of the cases. . . . All the Phds I work with come from top drawer schools"
Sounds like you work with quite a few people who made it there who don't match your 99%. Are there more ivy-leaguers than generic-college-goers? Did they obtain all of their degrees at an ivy league school, or did they start out at a normal one? And last but not least: do they resent the fact (or at least show it somehow) that you're not "on the same level of education" as they are (I've known quite a few people to be very petty like that)?
I'd say that it might help you get a job faster to have that prestigious degree. You'd be more likely to be on the 'top of the pile' as my employer called it. But in all honesty, a year's experience will make up for that and maybe even then some. So if you're worried, find an internship in your field before you graduate and you shouldn't have a single thing to worry about.
I actually thought that they meant they should be monitoring those who don't go to college, which is an even better idea. As soon as you drop out of school, you should get your information taken at the police department. Yes, I know, a lot of people drop out and turn out to be just fine, but thats a slim number.
Changing my own topic now, they don't need to collect this information, they just need to buy up the rights to user everybodys information at classmates.com, last time I looked they managed to lure in about 80% of my highschool and everybody I knew in college.
Yes, when they read this bill off, they should start by making a nice long lengthy advertisement for every corp. that sponsored this bill. Maybe they'll get the idea.
I actually like how they don't end up giving away whole segments of the movie in the trailers by doing this. It seems like all too often I see a trailer and then watch the film and feel like I've already seen the film before.
Only if they sue the other 290,000+ websites that show up with metroid and zelda in their title. Oh, wait, make that 290,001. Seriously, if they don't have a very legit reason to single out that one website when there are so many others that fit the same criteria, they have no case.
The problem is that I don't think Microsoft understands the issue of tangibility.
In support, I present the difference: I can run my hardware until it breaks, if it breaks within 3 years (sometimes even longer) you have a warranty. Send it back and they'll send you a replacement in about a week. Windows, well that doesn't quite work the same. If it breaks within the first year or two you can download a hotfix within a few months of the problem (assuming they admit to it and fix it in a timely fashion). After that, well you'll be lucky if they even support the product anymore.

That really depends on how close to the equator you live. Earth's spin has less effect on your weight the closer you get to the poles.

yea yea yea, i realized that. Silly people just blocked any refers from slashdot. How nice of them.
OK, they won't even let you do that. Fine, if they want to be like that, just google them: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c2coff=1&q=funa gain+games&spell=1 and then click the link for their site.
use this link: http://www.funagain.com/control/bestsellerlist and then you can get to the home page by clicking on their logo.

They should be required to post the ISBN number with the review. In case you're wondering, it's 1590591445.

As long as they put a disclaimer in the warezed copy's EULA, then there's nothing for anybody to complain about.
I pitty the fool that forgets to do this.
The best part about Syndrome was that as soon as you saw him with that cape, all the flashbacks from Edna became so much more funny!
I actually like how they don't end up giving away whole segments of the movie in the trailers by doing this. It seems like all too often I see a trailer and then watch the film and feel like I've already seen the film before.
If you ask me it's because more and more people are shopping on the internet from work. Because they can get away with it.

Yes, I'm suprised more people didn't pick up on this over at theregister
