  1. USADA charges Armstrong: Pieces worth reading on Lance Armstrong and the Science of Drug Testing · · Score: 1

    If you want to understand why Armstrong never failed a drug test and his results can now be discarded in favor of testimony, read this : USADA charges Lance Armstrong: Pieces worth reading.

    Don't miss all the linked pieces, the letter sent by USADA to the ringleaders, the ESPN article by Bonnie D. Ford, best of all the Prof. Michael Ashenden interview and so on. These are must reads.

    We have to stop being delusional and gullible. Sad but true Armstrong will now join the ranks of other infamous cheats like Marion Jones, Ben Johnson or all those East German athletes. By quitting now he will avoid just one thing, worse than cheating: perjury!

  2. Google Labs going ... Google Directory gone ! on Google To Discontinue Google Labs · · Score: 2

    Google Labs is going and, in other news tonight... Google Directory is already gone!

    It really sad that Google feels it has to trim so many projects and services

  3. GNU Hurd Relase 1.0 roadmap on Are You Using the GNU/Hurd Kernel? · · Score: 1
    If you look at the past releases on ftp.gnu.org :

    hurd-0.0.tar.gz 1142 Kb Tue Aug 6 00:00:00 1996
    hurd-0.1.tar.gz 1171 Kb Sat Sep 7 00:00:00 1996
    hurd-0.2.tar.gz 1343 Kb Thu Jun 12 00:00:00 1997

    And extrapolate the curve ...
    hurd-1.0.tar.gz is due on Sep 9 2001 !!!
    I guess you just have to be a little bit more patient

  4. Yahoo hypocrites ! on French Judge Demands Yahoo Censor Auctions · · Score: 2

    People at Yahoo are not consistent with themselves or worse they are hypocrites.

    The have been condemned for incentive to racial hatred

    On one hand you can read in their terms of Service : You agree to not use the Service to : a. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;

    And on the other hand in what am I not allowed to sell you can find a whole list of stuff that is banned from listing or selling : Alcoholic beverage, Cigarettes, Used Underwear ...

    Tell me what is worse selling used underwear or books like Mein Kampf or the Protocol of the Sages of Scion !?

    The funniest part is that they don't accept the French ruling and jurisdiction but that you can read in What I am allowed to sell, that it is forbidden to sell Any item that is illegal to sell under any applicable law, statute, ordinance or regulation

    Yahoo, get your act straight before going to court !
