No. Too many people here are bitching that Slashdot is degenerating into a Tabloid. I remind you that, by and large, it is not the editors who write the submissions. They often just copy, verbatim, submitted posts. Get a grip, read the articles.

That such a device, if accurate, would be an excellent deterrent to speeding, and perhaps goverors which would otherwise prevent exceeding the limit. However, the problem then becomes when the situation arises such that speeding is nessecary. What if you need to pass someone? Someone begins to threaten you on the road? Anything. I've always thought an "Override" button would be just the thing. You'd have to explain to the proper authorities why it was you needed to speed, and thus, by examining previous records, they would grant or deny the appeal.

The aliens who find this DNA will surely use it to construct the ultimate supervirus to wipe out the entire human race, leaving us to rely solely on a band of rugged, Hollywood prettyboys to save the day. I smell James Cameron.
Of Microsoft's inability to compete with a product that is literally, and by all means free. It's no wonder they would want to bar LUGs from the expo, you simply can't trump "free". It just can't be done.
INDIANA - A compulsive gambler is suing Casino Aztar for allegedly failing
to enforce a ban barring him from the floating casino.
A lawsuit filed on behalf of David Williams of Evansville charges that
casino officials mailed him a letter barring him from the boat, but did
nothing to enforce the ban.
The suit alleges that Aztar officials instead continued to "ply" Williams
by mailing him promotional materials, and allowed him to board and to
gamble on the boat's slot machines.
Williams alleges that he has lost a total of about $175,000 dollars
gambling on the Evansville riverboat.
His suit alleges in part that, by using the mailings both to ban Williams
and to continue to entice him to gamble, Aztar committed mail fraud, which
amounts to racketeering under federal law.
Aztar attorney Patrick Shoulders compares Williams' lawsuit to "an
alcoholic suing a liquor store."

Quaint, isn't it?
UNLIKE the Great Wall, it would not be seen from space.
This is a common myth, albeit a misconception. The Great Wall of China can, in fact, not be seen from space. Read that in Maxim. ^_^
One of the biggest names in viral marketing has actually written a book on this subject. You can read it in.pdf format, HTML, or buy it from Amazon. It details the concept of viral marketing, and how fads spread at near lightspeed with the advent of the internet. It's quite an incredible read.
Two jurors left voice-mail messages Friday evening for a court clerk indicating that the $3,125 figure "was supposed to be $31,250," Rakoff said. He said it was possible that jurors had arrived at a grand total during deliberations, then "divided it wrongly."
Was this not their first clue that SOMETHING was awry? Perhaps a little pre-service exam would be usefull...

IANAL, obviously, but I'm fairly sure they can't lie about the ability to legally persue something. Most people won't know what that word means, however, it makes it so that in fact, they aren't actually threatening legal action.
The reason this will work is that it provides a value-added service. Unlike King's Plant, which only offered an online version of a novel, this will offer maps, background etc. I much prefer to read novel on paper, however if there's a good reason to go online for it, we will.
HailStorm would ultimately act as an online super secretary, arranging appointments, filing documents, reminding the boss of a relative's birthday and even helping buy and ship an appropriate gift.
Buy and ship an appropriate gift... as in, use my credit card, perhaps without authorization, to purchase something deemed appropriate, perhaps a copy of Windows 2004.
For this to be successful, it will need to directly benefit the consumer in one wayor another. This could be in the form of lower prices, or better products; however, if all this does is serve to give game developers more money, it will quickly and brutally fail. The reason ads are tolerated is because they provide the consumer a tangible benefit. Radio is free, because of advertising, cable TV is significantly lower in cost, because of advertising. If the consumer (us) doesn't see any real benefit from being bombarded by corporate logos and slogans, he'll be quick to dismiss the aforementioned in exchange for a product with no ads.
Quite frankly, the idea that this could replace actual face-to-face meetings is appauling, especially in a business setting. Yeah, a picture is great, but nothing solidifies a deal like a firm handshake. It has its uses, however, replacing the need for travel entirely is not one of them.
I don't know if this film was ever release into theaters, or perhaps it went straight to video. It was called "Takedown", and featured Skeet Ulrich playing Kevin Mitnick. That film did an excellent job (relatively speaking) of defining the difference between a hacker and a cracker. They took some artistic liscence with the story, but aside from that, a decent flick.

Somehow, I don't remember the CircleMUD code having sentient neural-nets coded into the Mob routines.
Even the best elven scribes would be out of their league with this one.
