Note that, I think, supporting (non-attending) memberships can also vote. Watch out for a tidal wave of sock-puppet memberships voting the Scientology ticket. This would be their style since they used to send members to buy Elron's books to boost reported Best Seller! sales at the stores. Then they'd turn the books in to be resold. Some stores reported getting boxes of books with other store's price stickers on them already.
Trying to buy a Hugo again eh? I thought they gave that up after the Brighton Worldcon. (I imagine they had hopes for the Battlefield Earth movie. They were calling it the next StarWars even before it was released. Hahaha!)
Since Hubbard never won any serious award, I imagine that they'll really pull out the stops for this effort, including retro-history about how great a Golden-Age author he was. (He was never more than a B-list writer at best.)

However, relational databases are relatively simple.
But that's the whole point--Now it's simple. When I'm doing something that needs a relational database, I don't have to re-invent one. There might be fiddly details with plumbing and which one to use, but during design, I can draw a relational database box on the whiteboard without worrying too much about what's inside it. If I want to connect a bunch of tables, select what I want, sort them a particular way, it's there.
I can get there in 2.5 years! My plan calls for divine intervention. As soon as I can reach a sponsorship agreement with a god, we're off! (No semi-demi-gods need apply.)
I really wonder if this wasn't just some stunt. As you say, very few people had ever heard of these people. What kind of judgement/damages would involve six figures? (I imagine we only have the word of one or both sides on the size.)

I think Mercury/Hermes has prior art on that IP, but there might be a compromise. Mercury is more a god of travelling merchants or traders. In a modern context perhaps the probe could be called Door-To-Door-Salesperson?
Naming a probe to Mercury Messenger is fitting because Mercury was a god of messengers. Of course, that wasn't his only devine attribute, so I expect the next probe to be called Thief, Traveller, or Merchant.
I'm surprised the G&M guy didn't bitch about the damned bright outdoor signs. Those are literally an eye-sore. Especially when it's Elron Hubbard on the side a Cthurch or pictures of happy Dianetics users.
Oh yeah, there's a whole lot more where that came from. I try not to ramble on about it too much outside ARS and other places. (Updated soon!:^) There were a few jokes that Robotic Parking used Scientologists to park the cars...
Slashdot is mainstream media, acording to news.google.com. It's pretty scary doing a search to find more news on a Slashdot story, and the first link on Google is back to Slashdot. That's just not right.
Any cheques will eventually turn rubber and bounce to orbit. They don't always use TTY operators, but that allows them to multi-task by tieing up several operators at once. It must be hell to be a real Nigerian business. "Hello, this is RoverSoft of Nigeria.." *click*
I bet that most of the people in favour of this never switch on this feature at home. After all, they have to keep track of all the shameful content that would have got through without this protection. It's a dirty job, but someone has to be on guard against corruption of public morals.
It reminds me of the story of the old woman who calls the sheriff to complain about the boys skinny-dipping in the river near her house. When she calls a second time, the sheriff says that the boys moved their swimming a mile downstream, she couldn't possibly see them. She indignantly replies that she certainly can--with her binoculars.

I have heard tales of strange archives of ancient knowledge that might have what he seeks. I believe they were called libraries. ;^P
Just so peope know what to expect, here's an account of the last time Scientology tried to buy a WorldCon and Hugo Awards: Strange Vibrations

I'm puzzled too. Paired programming is never mentioned anywhere in the article.

I tracked it down. Be baffled.
Doesn't someone own the copyright to silence? :^P

I knew there was a downside to outsourcing all those developer jobs!

It's probably got spammer cooties.

Aren't you supposed to, like, not tell anyone those digits? Once you tell a few businesses, how good is their security?

So that's why Elron Hubbard docked his cult fleet and slipped into Clearwater Florida.
