I'm pretty sure this isn't an April Fools joke, considering the service seems to actually work and it was announced on March 31 in the blog. This is just Google showing once again how they're really smart. Seems that they've been coming out with more new cool stuff at a faster rate than ever before.
It's actually one of the coolest works of art I've ever seen in the way it reflects the skyline back at these weird angles.
As for this whole copyright thing, its probably not a big deal. I doubt they would sue any average people taking photos of the sculpture. This will probably just apply to professional photographers who will be making money off of their pictures. This is nothing new, many areas don't let professional photographers take pictures of things in public view without permission.
Look around on one of the mirrors for a package called slackpkg. I think it's in the testing dir. It's not entirely automatic, you kind of have to do a search for at least a piece of the name of the package you wanna download and upgrade. For example to upgrade X i can type slackpkg upgrade x It'll give a list of the packages that will be upgraded and ask if you want to do it, then it'll download them all and install.
you can also check the status of your packages by typing something like: slackpkg search x
it'll give you a list of every package with x in the name and whether they're installed and if theres a newer version available.
I think the reason why google would have a chance is that they make money off of more than just ads. They also sell hardware (search appliance) and license their search services to other companies. Google Answers also provides them with some money, although probably not as much as other things. If they keep thinking up new ways to bring in income without harming the search experience they'll be fine.
This program is really annoying for students, but can solve all you problems. It's called Deep Freeze and it restores the hard drive back to a set state whenever the computer is restarted.
Go here.
Just wondering, but where would they launch the space craft from? I couldn't find out on their site. This isn't exactly the kind of thing you can take to the park near your house. You need about a five mile radius from the launch site. And don't forget about the legal issues. You probably need all kinds of governmental permission (i.e. NASA, FAA) before undertaking such a project. So far I haven't heard anything about them getting it.
I heard that the subway station collapsed along with the building.

No, as far as I know the United States has no diplomatic relations with afganistan and has not even officially recognized the taliban government (only 3 countries have. Pakistan is one, i don't know the other 2.)
Based on this map it looks like the planes weren't flying straight (except for the one which crashed in PA) which makes me think that they were being manually controlled at the time.
Guns probably wouldn't be a very good idea on an airplane for all of the reasons stated above, but there are many other weapons that could be used instead (i.e. taser, stun gun, etc.) Something of this nature could just be kept in an easy to reach compartment in the cockpit to be used in case of emergencies.
All right! Now parents can pay even less attention to their kids! No more need for baby-sitters, just sit your three-year old in front of the TV and go run that errand or go to work, because now your child will only turn into a violent psycho-killer because of neglect and not because of the violence they see on television.
Isn't it about time somebody came out with a 64bit processor for the PC instead of just continuing to up the clock speed on 32bit chips?
Isn't the G4 a 128bit chip? Why hasn't Intel caught up yet?
Okay, let me rephrase my previous statement. You're right, there are a lot of processor intensive tasks like encoding movies and playing very graphical games. I guess what I was referring to was the average consumer who uses his/her computer mostly for word processing and the Internet. Those people would not have much use for a 1.33GHz processor and wouldn't experience any notable speed difference when going from an 800MHz to 1.33GHz.
Yeah, you are right (for now.)
At the moment, there is no reason, performancewise to get a processor that fast. After about 800 Mhz, the difference in processing times is barely noticable. However, as more advanced OS's come out and more resource hungry apps, the speed difference will become more noticeable.
According to Nintendo, GBA will have about a 15 hr. battery life. (5 hrs. more than Game Boy Color) Of course, I guess it depends on the quality of the batteries, etc. You can read about it on their web-site. I don't think any third party has tested the system out yet, so we just have to trust what Nintendo says for now.

Looks like he updated his hate site recently to add

If you click on it, it links to his "temple" site.
Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'll definitely join any religion that's pro-slashdot, no matter how made up it is.
Yes, it does, sort of.

Just wondering, is anything worded or spelled differently in the British ones?
no it wasn't. last week the release candidate was released, but the actual 0.5.1 wasn't released until yesterday.
You don't have to use the default seed nodes. It is possible to get a node listing from somewhere else that you trust and import that into your node.
Yup, this place has helped me with many a project, but why look in San Francisco? Just shop online.
Freenet is never as fast as the normal WWW. Just leave it running for a couple days so it can get integrated into the network.

Actually Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been listed on the Hollywood Stock Exchange for a while.

I thought there had to be some form of authorization before you can manually control an aircraft.
Maybe that's a good idea, but in this case (and most hijacking cases) the plane was already flying when it was hijacked.

Nope, it's not working for me either.

He probably wasn't able to carry it as far as we can with computers, but its still pretty cool. I commend him for his patience.
