and all of the founding fathers professed to be Christian...
Bzzztttt!!! Thanks for playing! Actually most of them were Deists. Big difference. I'll generalize here and state that Christians and Muslims are [generally] the only intolerant religious groups.

Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, that is. IANAL but if the act does not apply here, it certainly needs to be amended to cover this situation. PanIP is the latest in an endless chain of corporations that demonstrate exactly why we need to forever forget the silly laissez-faire pipe dream and start playing hardball with corporations. Once white collar types start seeing the inside of prisons or their buddies (other CEOs) get the chair, then they might be concerned about ethical practices.
In the meantime, someone needs to DDOS the fuck out of PanIP. Forget "Ask Slashdot", try opening the yellow pages or searching google to find someone to kill the CEO's wife and kids, or just opening the blue pages of your phone book and looking up your friendly local U.S. Attorney. Good luck!
Slightly off-topic, but imagine the merging of this technology with the whimsical, counter-intuitive machines of Rube Goldberg. The nanosprings could be combined with nanoballs, nanochutes, nanoratchets, nanopteradactyls, etc... to fabricate imaginative contraptions that would only be visible to high-power microscopes.
It really would take an indefinite time period to un-fuck windows. Anybody who has done coding for an O/S or a large application knows the difficulties inherent in un-fucking any kludgey pile of spaghetti code.
More problems would be introduced in the process, rendering the final product very unstable. This is exactly what Microsoft wants to demonstrate--that the O/S can not function with IE removed.
Great idea! Why don't you (notice I said "you" and not "the Government" because I see you are a libertarian) just write a nifty lil' number-cruncher that runs behind a screen saver and tracks a finite set of space junk particles. If you aren't a coder, could you at least provide the $$$ or the organization skillz to make this a sourceforge project (imagine: spacejunk.sourceforge.net)? The server could run on some *n?x O/S so we won't lose all of our satellites every time someone gets a BSOD, but the particle matrix could be distributed to Win clients for greater coverage. Do you live in Europe? Maybe it could be 100% metric so we could avoid the rare problems that seem to plague NASA in the rightist media.
"The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand". He made that statement ~2,000 years ago and it is still true today. At hand = now. A great many of Jesus' sayings were recorded; very few made the editors' (James and Richard, IYKWIM) cuts. See The Gospel According to Mary Magdelene and The Gospel According to Thomas and you will understand how Jesus' teachings would have prevented all of the tyrannical governments of the last 2,000 years from coming into existence. Someone--Ezra Pound, maybe--said that the purpose of Christianity is to make good Roman citizens. I'm sure Jesus is still rolling over in his grave due to the endless perversion of his teachings by those who claim to be JHVH's authorities on Earth.
It seems much easier to tell everybody else that they will go to hell instead of reflecting on the teachings of your supposed Saviour. Don't forget that your belief system is one of many, and that the teachings have your Saviour have been perverted by Kings, Priests, and Politicians to now mean exactly the opposite of what He said.
Public opinion doesn't stop autocrats from making repugnant decisions (look at Nixon-Reagan's drug policies for historical perspective). These politicians have already been paid by their investors (RIAA, etc...) to manufacture their product (:%s/SSSCA/nom de jour/), so this bill will become law soon and a majority of Americans--the majority whose opinions match the opinions of their favorite television news personality--will come to believe it is a Good Thing®.
I've used IIS before and never had any traffic related problems. As a matter of fact, we only needed to reboot once.
I don't think we got enough traffic to find out what it's limits were.
Please post a link. All doubt will be removed within minutes.
Can we be really sure that they are really running IIS on Win* now? They could be a bunch of 31337 h4x0rz running IIS over Wine. I bet Bill would be upset if he found out that was what was really going on...
Novelist Steven King, 55, was found dead in his Maine home today. Even if you aren't familiar with his work, you will understand his importance. Truly an American icon.
Slashdot has announced the debut of its newest blog, goatse.cx. Slashdot founder Rob "Commander Taco" Malda predicted that goatse.cx aficionados would soon start advertising the site by hiding links in comments attached to articles on slashdot. "Oh, I've been hyping it up myself through my troll accounts", the red-eyed Taco added.
Actor Alan Thicke was also found dead today in his home, causing millions of slashdot readers to break into tearful renditions of "Show me that smile again...".
This early post is for Ida!
Slashdot founder Malda announced today that "All your april fool are belong to us!". A flurry of posters rushed to correct his rare misuse of the English language; the increase in network traffic appeared similar to a DDOS attack. The service was interrupted to fend off the apparent attack and will be restored later.
the answer is "only products that you have researched and are familiar with". That means that the software is well documented and that you have links to known bugs & other issues. It helps if you have an inside person in that company too. Keep a knowledge base for your employees to eliminate redundant wild goose chases.
On a side note, you must be pretty brave to be starting a business in a saturated market during an economic downturn. Know something we don't? Most ISPs have already been absorbed by the national chains (AOL, Yahoo, etc...). Good luck.
Now that the quantifiable color of the universe has been computed, can it be seen by the human eye? This is a great computational effort, but can our eyes tell the difference? It looks pretty blue when I turn my head toward the sky during the day, but pretty black when I repeat the experiment at night. Strange...
I screwed up by naming Broadband as "the" hidden variable. There are many others pointed out by other posters: the general climb up the learning curve, better search engines, content attrition/duplication, and--probably most significant--the newness is wearing off. Our love affair with the web is waning. Even slashdot is losing its appeal to me. Perhaps I shall become...gasp...a dreaded troll.
The average online session decreased from 90 (March 2000) to 83 minutes in March of 2001
And the hidden variable is...broadband. Faster access = less surf time. Lets see a comparison of bytes downloaded to avoid a flawed conclusion, like the RIAA's conclusion that Napster caused the drop in CD sales during the middle of a recession that ate up a lot of disposable income...

Not necessarily an outdoor activity and not ostensibly geeky, cultivating a yoga practice is one of the smartest things you can do.
By practicing yoga you will:I like to practice outdoors but it's sometimes difficult to find a peaceful outdoor space without bugs, sand, etc... Good luck.

- Beer (Cup fee may be required)
- Crack (The first one is always free)
