None of the time machines we sent to the future have yet returned.
So...since we can't rely on responses from time machines, should we just avoid taking any risk until such time that future results can be reliably predicted?;-)
How many common household items will remain dangerous for 1,000 years?
Possibly none. But, we do deal with many dangerous and toxic items on a day to day basis and we've learned to deal with it. Is there any data to suggest that humanity can't deal with them for the next 1,000 or 10,000 years?
That is just way too much effort for pleasure. It's much simpler to twist a belt around your neck until you pass out. The rush is amazing! Every AC should try it a few dozen times a day.:-)
Who needed silverlight or moonlight to watch? Numerous public sources streamed the event in flash. I'm sure this Miguel guy is a nice fellow, but his dancing with/for Microsoft doesn't seem right to me.
I call Hyperbole Hogwash on this. Without detailed data, and significant research, producing exacting numbers is nothing more than foo... or in this case fud.
Don't forget about the economies surrounding botnets. There are two sides, those that profit from the botnets (the operators), and those that profit fighting the botnets (the fighters). Additionally, there are those that profit from providing botnet remedial "solutions" whilst not being in either of the primary (operator or fighter) categories. If botnets ceased to exist, there would be a *lot* more lost on the fighter and solution side than on the operator side. So... like SPAM, this raises the question of just who actually benefits the most from botnet existing.
Yes, Ubuntu is getting slower. Not only slower, but also more bloated. And not only more bloated, but more Window's like (all sorts of sharing services running by default). Not only all that, but consider that Ubuntu Server installs wifi networking, bluetooth, avahi-daemon, parts of evolution, etc. Bloat, bloat, bloat. But, if you spend 2 days cleaning up the default install, you can have a nice decently running system.
Fail! How did this (video?) professor manage to use icmp/tcp to determine hosts, or the lack thereof, of IP space behind corporate firewalls? Curious minds may want to know...I for one call bullshit!
Microsoft *has* to do this in order to be able to show wall st and stockholders that there are an increasing number of projects on it's "Open Source" site. Lack of upward movement would tend to cause (the normally ill-informed) investors to question their commitment to "Open Source". "Blah..." "Hey look, we have an ever increasing number of Open Source projects..." "Blah."
Because companies *need* to pay someone, for liability sake (don't ask me, ask the lawyers). Would you rather companies continue to give money to Microsoft?
Blackberry's are proof that "Power to the People" is bad. Look at all the Blackberry users who can't manage their personal time because they have a powerful device on their hip.

IBM didn't need Sun...
Correct, but more importantly: IBM didn't need some others to have Sun.

Radioactive waste is dangerous and toxic....
As are many of the items in use by people on a day to day basis.
IBM itself needs this capability, chiefly because IBM meetings are generally so boring that you naturally desire to do anything else. ;-)
Someone should come up with a patent to extinguish bad meeting presenters based on a vote by the participants. :-)
Why? Where is the need? .Net/Mono is yesterday's solution.

If you wanted to get the media interested in your story, what better way than to say "you were targeted!"?
2m in 2d might seem extreme, but it was shown to be possible 2d ago. Should we set a design goal of 640k?

Large scale emergencies?

Bingo. Does anyone truly believe the medical/pharmaceutical establishment (as a whole) is focused on completely ridding the world of disease?

So how do you propose identifying those that should have been arrested but were not?
You and the two other AIX-on-the-desktop people just aren't enough demand. ;-) It's a numbers game.

It provides a Supportable office solution to large companies, and it keeps those large companies from paying $$ to M$.
One more thing...

Just turn it off at 5pm, it will wake up automatically in the AM if you set the time correctly.
How do they know that this wasn't an average Joe using Google Docs?
