The US is not the same place it was 10 years ago. Lately it's become a rather unpleasant place to live.
I suppose some people would say this isn't sudden change but rather a slow change but the end result is the same: There are a lot of nicer places in the world to live... Move to one of those places instead.
A really interesting mental exercise with potential real world applications: The poster misrepresents it, the 'editors' don't edit it, and hundreds of uninformed people make comments which miss the whole point of the exercise.
So Jeff, please don't listen to these fools.
FOOLS... I know this is Slashdot... but go RTFA, and ignore the 200 line thing, it's a red herring.
I think you need to add a lot more dissenters to your list there... Both of those news outlets and "Faux News" as well, are spun so hard I get dizzy reading them.
Hey Wait! NNTP is NOT dead! I still use it for support for schematic capture, embedded design, and RTOS development. So it really does have legitimate uses. I guess you could say it's an old guy thing.
The rest of your plan is really reasonable, it's just a shame that more and more legislators are trying to turn ordinary citizens into policemen. It's not just in Australia either... there's laws like that in the US and in Austria (the places I'm familiar with) that require property owners to alert police to any illegal actives the tenants may be engaging in.
Since you sound like you know what you talking about how about answering a simple question. Why, if they're able to solve a 5X5 and 6X6 boards, can't they solve a 9X9 board albeit in a significantly longer timeframe. TFA states "searching techniques alone are not enough to play Go well on larger playing boards" but it doesn't say why.
Fiber ceramic composites have an advantage over aluminum for use in spacecraft hulls in that they create less secondary particles when exposed to cosmic rays. As you claim to have read the article you should know that the proposed hull less easily punctured than a metallic aluminum hull. Where did you get this steel idea? Do you realize how much steel weighs compared to how strong it is? I don't think steel has been a major component to anything that has ever been launched. Being that there aren't great clouds of acetone in low earth orbit I think the project is pretty safe.
Also I think by the phrase "User Installable" the operator is meant, not the guest.
Maybe it's just me... but I'd be a lot more interested in buying an X-Serve RAID if I could just put it next my PowerMac. I need that sort of storage for my photography files but I don't have a rack system and I don't want one. Just another PowerMac box only with the RAID array inside would be great.
They DID dig their heels in and raged against the Linux tide. I remember some of their public statements being fairly barbed too! I have to admit I had just switched from VxWorks to NetBSD so maybe I was paying attention a little more closely
How about this scenario: We all quit buying this crap until they have good 'albums' to listen to and the bankers quit trying force artists to fit their work into a CD's worth of space.
What I'm really wondering is how many hundreds of times this will have to be pointed out, here on slashdot, before regular readers finally get it? Is the propaganda machine going that strong in the US?
Unfortunately for me there is more to the world than the US.
Your link shows no shipping international or to California, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. The manufactures website lists them as only available in the US.
I emailed them the day they came out asking if/when they would be sold where I live and the answer was very vague so I assumed they would make no real attempt to sell outside of the states.
So to sum it all up they are not available in more places than they are available. Shame

It's two different arts: management and engineering.
Given that the script can not be classified as writing, yes.
Gavin Scott, the Butcher of Earthsea, should not be allowed to read or write ever again.
But you are right on the SnowCrash thing or A Diamond Age which I also enjoyed.
When I install >0.9.3 here at work I find that I can not left click on anything... Bizarre!

Ok I know it's totally of topic, but does any one know where I can get a good quality oak cocktail MAME cabinet in Austria or Germany?
His problem is American marketing.
I wonder when they'll make Blue Gene /Cell.

yeah.. sort of like a fungus
Or several smaller things in space, at the same time.

Nope. The EU has banned them
Only old Korean people use those

I think they are banned almost everywhere
I think it would sell well.
I don't think Sony would go for it because they would rather sell the PS2. And because Sony makes the chipset without them nothing can happen.
Maybe after PS3 comes out... but who would want it then?
Yeah, I would have done too, If every 10 minutes a spot came saying what assholes TV execs are
