Of course, maybe TFA just failed to mention that they only wanted things that actually deal with F&D regulated. I guess neither would surprise me at this point.
Of course, maybe you just failed to mention that you failed to comprehend TFA.
From the first paragraph:
Citing research suggesting that some invisibly small engineered nanoparticles might pose health risks, a coalition of consumer and environmental groups petitioned the Food and Drug Administration yesterday to beef up its regulation of nanoparticle-containing sunscreens and cosmetics and recall some products.
A husband and wife are traveling by car from Key West to Boston. After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they're too tired to continue, and they decide to stop for a rest. They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for $350.
The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel, the rooms certainly aren't worth $350. When the clerk tells him $350 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the manager.
The manager appears, listens to the man, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for the husband and wife to use.
"But we didn't use them." the man complains. "Well, they are here, and you could have." explains the manager.
He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. "The best entertainers from New York, Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here." the manager says. "But we didn't go to any of those shows." complains the man again.
"Well, we have them, and you could have." the manager replies. No matter what facility the manager mentions, the man replies, "But we didn't use it!"
The manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a check and gives it to the manager. The mnager is surprised when he looks at the check. "But sir," he says, "this check is only made out for $100."
"That's right," says the man. "I charged you $250 for sleeping with my wife."
"But I didn't!" exclaims the mnager.
"Well," the man replies, "she was here, and you could have."
Look behind you... I think the point just flew over your head. The parent is categorizing 'typosquatting' as a buzzword, but is it really? There is no adequate term to describe the situation with brevity. It defines squatting on misspelled domain names. What would the poster rather have the article use to describe the phenomenon, 'squatting-on-misspelled-domain-names'? Maybe you should leverage your idiocy/elitism by commenting on digg.
The lightweight prototype, called Strider URL Tracer, builds on the work within Microsoft's Cybersecurity and Systems Management group to keep tabs on a sophisticated squatting-on-domain-names scheme that uses multilayer URL redirection to make money from Google's AdSense for domains program.
What's up with people's aversion to buzzwords? Without these new words, we'd still be driving 'iron-horses-that-don't-shit' and wanking it to 'talking-pictures-of-people-having-sex'.
I don't think the rating system drectly aims to prevent kids from obtaining violent games, but rather it allows the parents to have some sort of reference when gauging the games that the kids play. Sure, people say that a parent should know what games their children play, but it's not feasible for a parent to examine every aspect of a game in depth before allowing their child to play it. The rating is just a nice reference, and though it may be somewhat vague, at least a parent doesn't have to worry about an Early Childhood Game allowing the game character to beat in a policeman's head.
Maybe they're the most respected league right now, but it wouldn't hurt if they could pick better venues for their champions.
From their events page: The CPL Summer 2006 Championships, hosting both Counter-Strike 1.6 and Quake 4 tournaments, will take place Wednesday, July 4, to Sunday, July 9, 2006 at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas.
The summer event will also host a two thousand person BYOC, a large exhibition area, music concerts, conferences from renowned speakers and writers, industry celebrities, door prizes and unofficial competitions.
This is a serious blow to Flying Spaghetti Monsterism! We must rethink His Noodly Appendage and engage in a serious discussion as to what the Appendage does and doesn't do. Apparently It doesn't hold bees up in the air and swing them.
Seriously though, what's the point of mentioning Intelligent Design in the article. It's like bragging that you have two apples compared to another person's one orange. Sure you have two apples, but...well, I'm too lazy to continue the analogy, but this reminds me I need to go to the grocery store.
Now the Dept of Homeland Security is telling us to not use i.e. or 'id est'? How will us slashdotters offer clever analogies (i.e^H^H^H e.g. buggy whips)?
A lot of people's observations seem to be based on the assumption that the PM was designed for the American car driver in mind. Just based on its function and design, this seems to be a vehicle designed for high density areas (i.e. Asian metropolitans) where space is a premium and large vehicles like SUVs are non-existent to smash up the PM. You take any idea out of its context and it will sound foolish.
Interestingly enough, although their stock (SCOX) ha s been in a decline for the past few months (it was 16+ the last time that I saw) it jumped quite a bit today. Up 1.15 to 13.42. Any reason why?
Recent events have cast a more optimistic look on the whole situation. In this recent CNN article on 12/11/2003, Wen says,
"We respect the desire of the Taiwan people to develop and pursue democracy. However, we firmly oppose the attempts by certain separatist forces in Taiwan to pursue Taiwan independence under the disguise of promoting democracy in an attempt to cut of Taiwan from the mainland."
If reunification is the purpose, there's no point in going there and blowing everything away.
I don't think that they're necessarily blind, but US-based entities, both private and government, are so mired in Windows-based systems that it takes quite a bit of forward-thinking to make any sort of dramatic change to their computing systems. Imagine trying to justify the cost and time to your superiors who are just trying to keep things up and running so that they can keep their jobs. I don't think people are being blind, but maybe they're being short-sighted.
Microsoft doesn't have nearly the stronghold it has on the rest of the world as it has on the United States, so it's more viable for organizations in other countries to consider alternatives.

Reminds me of a joke:

And what's worse, of that 75-80%, about 50% are between the ages of 18 and 25.

When I get my response back from Sen. Kilby, I'll let you know if it worked.

I guess this this means we should use e.g. now.
So now we have prior art for animal crackers.
