He wasn't in google anymore, so google could have been doing evil all this time. In fact, now that he is somewhat in Facebook, Google can't follow the evil plan of buying Facebook and renaming it to Assbook (that last part would be impossible because they would have back the dont be evil mantra by then).
Scamming works, even for schemes widely known from years. Be an scammer and will be pretty rare that you get caught, in your country will make songs about you, and even the Washington post will put your name in big letters. And money flow so much that even in this troubled economic times is still profitable, even with the amount of people doing it.
A bit remembers me the amount of people buying what is offered by spam, and making it still a profitable activity, but this one goes some levels deep into the illegal realm.
MyIE2 0.1 is from 07/2002. Opera was MDI since the 1st release, and introduced tabs as we know them now in 2001. Just found its history that could give a bit more light on the topic.
Probably most of what you enjoy today from your browsers have some origin in Opera. Not remember if was my main browser ever, but had been using it since 1996. Small, fast, secure, multiplataform, usually the most innovative in its own time (tabs, gestures, fast javascript, starting page with captures of your preferred sites, i think i saw all of that in opera years before than in any other browser, open source or not).
Would be great that it become open source (originally was commercial, then ads sponsored, then free, the evolution looks like going in that way), but anyway they did and keep doing a great work as they are, and you owe a lot to them even if never used their browser.
Memes could explain some of them. Some could be pure cultural (i.e. kissing, superstition, altruism) and others could had helped that we evolved this way (your odds of mating could had been increased if you had the ability to do some of those things).
What if several parties tried to do a (maybe if in isolated form, dumb) DDoS the same day ? Maybe a lot of social sites have frequently tries to DoS them, and maybe they usually can resist the attack. But if yesterday they got several attacks at once for different reasons the effect could have been visible to us at last.
Real hunters don't capture animals in just in photos. If we are amazingly lucky and find a planet mostly like earth in, say, 10 light years from here, current technology, economy, politics, human rights and so on will make them impossible to reach in the time of our lives (and probably next few generations, but only if we put our mind on that). Odds that have intelligence and an advanced enough technology just lower the chances, and increase a lot the average distance, so the time for a phone call.
In the other hand, knowing that will increase our understanding on how universe works, and that could well have applications here, if we want a result in the next (few?) years.
That it runs in computers that meant to be educational (like the XO) is a plus.
Also, educational in what topics? for what target age? You could count world of goo or civilization educational, but are totally different kind of education or required age.
Maybe that ATM was a demo that would be used by someone having a talk on ATM security and people gullibility to show a point. Now the feds got involved and that expert will have to do his talk at Guantanamo.
Would be somewhat similar to what happens when security experts want to show that a system is vulnerable and get jailed for that.
A fork of a fork? Why dont go to an other RH derivative like i.e. scientific linux? As they are all based in the same distribution (basically a repack of it) all should be more or less the same.
to the ones that hacked their web page and put that fake list of awards.
Come on, "experts" that calls Linux a "vendor"? That called "overhyped" the bug that enabled Conflicker to do the biggest massive infection of PCs since 2003? Their link to the "backdoored redhat openssh" (that was already discussed here that wasnt) actually links to an advisory about a Windows remote rpc vulnerability.
Of course, the alternative is that their page is how it was meant to be, and in that case Hanlon would have the real explanation of what happened.
Could this case be a far worse precedent than Amazon move? Amazon is being sued because they "changed" something in a place that they (by licence?) could control, and the student created something that depends on how things used to be. What if i create annotations for my class based on i.e. current slashdot content or structure, and slashdot modifies it? Could be sued because my intellectual work lost its meaning?
The real vulnerability is the "phone home" part, specially because it dont use strong authentication. What if something in your path redirects that fixed IP it contacts to one with a fake set of instructions? Suddently router hacking, open hotspots, arp poisoning and other things could be lethal to your notebook, or even be used to bypass your well built firewall and make your pc part of an ever growing communit... i mean, botnet.
Odds of being out there another civilization could need more hypothesis than is taken into account than i.e. our planet is in this region of solar system or the sun is in the right place in its lifecycle. Maybe our civilization got this stage because we have so big moon orbiting our planet, we have gas giants in the outer orbits of the solar system, the volcanic activity is not very strong in the last 70k years, and other factors that reduce odds, and then increase distance between civilizations (and then time to reach/detect/etc). And speaking of time, that matter for civilizations too, as they could die (even if they spread in their solar system, something happening to their sun, or something big happening in a close enough sun could be lethal). So you should take into account the time frame that a civilization could last.
And if well other civilizations probably don't use dollars as money, economy matters too, as you probably will need plenty of resources (and some could be rare) to go to space, physically explore, reach other planets, contact other civilizations, etc. Could be someone else out there, but the phone bill is so damn expensive that we will never meet him.
Survival is not a good measure of intelligence, but maybe we are seeing intelligence in terms too human. Maybe more than survival what you should check is how it reacts and adapts to a new environment, to new things. In that sense, Law is definitely less intelligent than Internet, as is pretty slow and dumb adapting to the reality created by the existence of internet.
Could a bee hive or an ant colony be treated as a separate intelligent entity. Probably that could fit better in the intelligence concept than Law or even Internet. Human mobs are definitely dumber than any of those.
Few weeks ago was disclosed who will be the actor that will play Green Lantern, and now was disclosed what will be the laser that will play its ring. Probably in a few weeks will be disclosed who will be the villain and filming will start at last.

Whats next? Astrological web?

those medicines didn't cured those writers, probably will kill you too.
On boot it say "Welcome to Microsoft Windows"
To affect Twitter, Facebook and LiveJournal should have been a Massive DDos. Which botnet was in this case? Maybe the "overhyped" Conflicker?
