AOL and Earthlink: So easy to use and so far away, no number it's #1 for Afghan terrorists!
Seriously though, how does this help? Chances are, Bin Laden doesn't use e-mail, and if he does, the probability is that he doesn't use America Online or Earthlink. Maybe he uses some sort of Afghan ISP; oh wait, the Taliban banned the Internet! Oops.
It would sound like he uses a man on a camel with encrypted computer disks or paper messages. By my guesses, the FBI is pretty much wasting their time...
Just six more releases until they'll be forced to call it 1.0! Wait... I wonder if they can do 0.9.8.1, 0.9.8.2, etc. and delay it a couple of more years.
Bad thought there. Eep.
Oh well, thanks anyway to the Mozilla team for their hard work, especially for the work they've done this week after the tragedies in our country. I know that most people's productivity levels are null, lately.
Since search is down, I cannot provide you with a link to the Slashdot story about their changeover to a new cluster...
However, I believe that Slashdot utilizes four machines: three webservers and one machine dedicated to database serving. As far as I know, the database machine has either dual processors or one that is rather fast (see: 1.2ghz +).
that webshites will soon(?) be able to tell whether you are reading the page, what parts of it are of interest to you, etc.
Okay, so create a statistics program that drops a cookie (with the time and URL included) when you enter a page and then finds the time you idled on the page before it (from the previous cookie dropped). Have it find what page that was by reading the cookie.
From this you can calculate which parts of the site you read, what parts were "of interest" (if time equals interest to you, at least; not just getting up to grab a Coke), and various other information.
I would bet that you would have to install a program to do the "mouse body language" (unless it uses Java, JavaScript, ActiveX (ew), HTML tricks, or came with the browser; the first three can obviously be filtered out) and that program, depending on how it was designed, could use considerable amounts of bandwidth (at least for 56kers and below) varying on the amount of information it transmits, obviously...

The record was created August 28, 2000. Battlebots came on the air before then. They very well could be cybersquatting. Then again, battlebots.org may have transferred registrars.
They could prove they aren't cybersquatting by showing a valid proof of purchase of the domain dated before Battlebots went into production. Just an idea...
Someone criticizes Slashdot.
Slashdot links to them.
Slashdot Slashdots them.
They both go broke paying for the bandwidth consumed and have a dead site from all of the visitors.
The site is Slashdotted. I made a mirror here, which is still being created at the time of this writing. It is mostly complete, though, so you shouldn't have much of a problem viewing it...
Lee Brown, the mayor of Houston, has his priorities all wrong. He neglects the city and builds the new stadiums (for the "Houston Texans" (I wonder what kind of genius came up with that name), and the Astros) with the name of the energy company, Reliant, tagged onto it. So now the Astrodome is part of "Reliant Park", which consists of the "Reliant Astrodome", "Reliant Astroarena", "Reliant Stadium (a new one)", etc. We're taxed for it.
Also, Houston does nothing for free. If this ever becomes more than a plan, you can rest assured that it will be slow and pathetic. Or, better yet, they'll make you pay -- and it will still be slow and pathetic.
This is what I see in Lee Brown and the management of Houston. They have much bigger fish to fry, imo. Try the roads or the school system, not something to inflate this city's already gigantic ego...
Slashdot Mirror
It's at http://www.initialized.org/virus/readme.exe .. Just remember not to run it on Windows. :)
It's sitting at http://www.initialized.org/virus/readme.eml if anyone wants to take a peak at it...
*DO NOT OPEN IT IN INTERNET EXPLORER.*
Does it have another check box that says "Always open attachments, especially those that could be a virus?" :)
Over 5,000 requests by the worm so far on this end.
This one should be a real bandwidth eater.
Lame typo.
s/"no number it's #1"/"no wonder it's #1"/g;
Now that I look at it, though, it makes a little sense...

My point was that the alternatives would still exist. These alternatives would be made by people not subject to our laws.
I'm sure some open-source (and even minor corporations) would never agree to this.
Especially those not in the US.

Maybe it automatically "replicates" a Unix version whenever Windows crashes. :p
It would have been more appropriate for a goatse.cx troll to write "orgasm" as opposed to "organism."
Just a thought. (And please, Slashdotters, have a sense of humor for a day... You just might enjoy it.)
And wouldn't it be ever so slightly ironic if someone 'disabled' the actual breathalizer using the beer they were drinking? (Pour, pour...)
And that Slashdot story is here.
(I'm adding this to my comment to please the lameness filter. Apparently, the Slashcode doesn't love me and has given me the lameness filter twice.)
Microsoft is already above the law. All it takes is a practically unlimited amount of funds...
What made the two largest computer companies in the world profitable:
Extremely high prices on otherwise free (Linux) software.

Instant cure for bad publicity.

Impractical? Not with a determined group of people bent on breaking in.
People will try anything if they want something bad enough. These people don't factor in the motivation of some groups.
Just MHO...
As a pseudo-resident, I'll say this:

I'll shut up.
Let's just hope it turns out better than these guys did. Thud! ::ducks::
The patent
by the isolation of ES cell lines from two primate species, the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) and the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).
-- the patent It looks like he might have been looking to patent embryonic stem cells of those species of primates, not human stem cells.
