What was the domain name that the (unfortunately Canadian) jerk who jumped in the Olympic swimming pool had written on his body? The news reports quite properly don't say.
With the hockey season on hold, maybe general excitement over the Canadian X-Prize teams could really.. take off, eh? (Don Cherry could do the colour. Just tell him that the Russians have the only currently working manned-space program, and then stand back.)
Most of the X-Prize entries don't really lead directly to a "space program". The designs would have serious problems scaling up for orbital launches. (The X-Prize is an excellent showcase and proof-of-concept for the idea of cheap private launches with fast turn-around time.)
However I'm sure all the designers have folders full of ideas for what they'd like to do next if there's more capital available. Sort of like Wernher Von Braun and his plans for trans-Atlantic bomb^w^w Moon-rockets and space-stations.
The.NET runtime is somewhat bigger than VBRUN, even the several versions VBRUN that have accumulated put together. (Alas, I now also have the.NET 2 beta runtime installed, so I guess I'll be accumulating those too..NET 2 beta also likes to switch back on stuff that I'd switched off like uPnP, so check your setting afterwards.)
All in all, it makes for one hell of a big "Hello World" program...
Why is it so slow if the program is a C#/.NET Win app that uses DirectX? Surely no one on Slashdot is using that configuration. We're all Linux or BSD and OpenGL, right?;)
How about if I type up a large scientific paper loaded with non-existant links, and then their software will "fix" it by finding the proper material out on the net and pointing the links to it. This could revolutionize the science of hand waving!
I was just there. Too bad it's not multiplayer--think of all those people standing around the pub in dressing-gowns. (Almost like some SF conventions before it was realized that (1) it's been done to death before, (2) it wasn't that great to start with. Hmm, Death Arthur Death...)
Think of this as cutting off an entire netblock for spamming.
I can hear it now:
"They made a mistake. My phone number is blocked and I'm not a scammer!",
"What they should have done was just block the phone number of the scammer.", "There was no reason to include entire countries of innocent people as
collateral damage!", "Frea speach!"
It's related to spam. The scammers send out spam for their "free pr0n site". Then the site will twist your arm to download/install their malware. (They might call it an "Internet accelerator" or some other lie.)
I don't have any statistics handy, but I thought most of the dialer spammers were in Eastern Europe. They probably outsourced the telephone end of their operations to remote counties that have a no-questions-asked policy.
Now if only they would fix the code that determines that a node has switched off or rebooted, and their DHCP IP address has been assigned to someone else. Trying for days afterwards is rude.
Yes, I thought his explainations at the time were pretty lame, but I doubt he'd ever be in favour of violence. Problems with religious double-think, perhaps. That said, diverting a plane in flight because one of the passengers might be carrying a dangerous opinion is a bit much. (If it was movie, they would have contacted the passenger who was an ex-SEAL debating team champ, who would move in before the terrorist could mouth it off and engage him in man-to-man rhetoric and logic and disarm his arguments.)

How much would one of those letters go for on eBay? (Mike Rowe made a hefty bit of change by putting paperwork from Microsoft up for auction.)

Suggest we call the new battle station "The Hospital Star".
A defence lawyer? "If Chewbacca lives on Endor you must acquit."
I guess the Empire had already banned p2p networks. Why send a princess and a blockade runner when you could just BitTorrent it?
Great, now I can get spam business offers directly from dead african leaders rather than just their family and friends.
This is very true of rockets, especially if they make orbit.

Nah, it's just a fancy "Hello World" program.

Are you sure? Has anyone checked to see if the dolphins are still around or large slab-like somethings are hanging in the sky very much unlike bricks?
Nah, then they would have found it parked on Mount Ararat.
That's Mr. Patented Bad Idea Jeans to you! (I'm afraid to RTFA to see how trival their patents might be.)

Hi there! I'm Eddy, your shipboard computer!
From the quote, it's not really clear if he meant DNA or his friend, who worked on because DNA was busy.

If they make one that can see through fingers and lenscaps, I am so there!

By "loose premium rate dialup", do you mean total deregulation? I say we lose them instead!
