We will have to wait 90 years to learn whether or not some lifeform was listening.
But then the MPAA can still sue them for DCMA and copyright violations if they decoded the movie without a license and used parts of our broadcast in their reply!
I end up doing my stuff and a lot of his duties...I was not hired for teaching my boss
It looks you don't know if the problem is if you want a new boss or you create a problem because you want to be the boss. Make up your mind about it and act accordingly.
people's reputation will come less from the judgement of university systems, but rather from people's actual connections and accomplishments.
If you haven't noticed, a large part of going to university is about connections. Dubya would not have become a member of Skull and Bones if he had been taking classes of "www.affordabledegrees.com" instead of going to Yale. Do you think Dubya has had most use of the classes he took or the club membership?
It's all about connections. Nobody becomes great alone.
Your explanation sounds plausible but is wrong. Postage in Sweden isn't paid by taxes. It's private delivery and open competition. The Swedish Post has the lion share of the market but there are several competing private companies that delivers mail and they all must comply with the legislation that gives you the right to reject junk mail.
As far as incrementing the cost of sending legitimate mail... did you know that most people sends less than 1 letter per month nowadays. A modest increase of postage is a very small price to pay to get rid of all junk mail for them. Besides, less junk mail is good for the environment. Mööses thrives in a healthy junk mail free environment.
In Sweden, there is a law that if you put a sign on your mailbox that says "reklam nej tack" the mailman must not deliver any junk mail. If they do it anyway you're allowed to let your mööse bite them! (Swedish: Varning för älgen!)
Easy. All traffic is slowed down by default. If the traffic is digitally signed by a Microsoft trusted computing device then it's allowed to travel faster through the pipes. All other traffic is slow pr0n.
These images do not satisfy the craving, they feed it and stimulate it. Eventually the images will not trigger the required endorphine release and something more will be needed to satisfy the urges.
Comments like this is exactly why women stay out of computing, that women programmers are reduced to their sex. Nobody would dare to make sexist jokes about male programmers!
Usually when the police over here is covered in media, they are complaining about lack of funds, there are too few policemen, minor crimes go uninvestigated, and the general feeling is that the police doesn't do its job.
Apparently child porn creators and distributors are enjoying their freedom because of the raid.
There are very few (much less than 50) Swedish policemen with proper IT-investigation skills.
One of the more disturbing news reports relating to the PirateBay raid is that out of the 50 policemen used in the raid, several were pulled out of ongoing child porn investigations, causing these child abusers to roam free longer.
Now, that is very offensive to most civilians, as there is consensus that child porn distribution on the internet is a much more severe crime than copyright infringement of anything.
There are other reasons for the traffic decline. Many Swedish teens celebrate their last few days of school this week. And boy, do they celebrate in style.
There are many parties and the inner cities are full with 19-year olds drunk on champagne and dressed up in white, riding on tractor-pulled carriages decorated with birch trees. (Such is the local custom in Sweden and parents supply the champagne.)
Have you considered that these heathen traditions might cause teens to spend less time in front of their computers in general?
In some European countries the police can't set up sting operations and must not use wiretapping for minor crimes such as suspicion of stealing a pack of chewing gum in a store. For more serious crimes such as robbing banks, murder or downloading a file from piratebay.org , wiretapping is allowed.
Anybody knows if the two years of maximum penalty was chosen to allow for the police to use wiretapping and other means of force?
Biggest issue with this service: Data. Fast data crunching needs data. Lots of data. How does one get it there? And the result back. It's expensive and slow.

Why not use BitTorrent? This is the best legal use for it.
Download FireFox here
Why not use bittorrent for it's best legal use: downloading firefox!
running naked, shooting sperm, diving in hot water to watch boobs.... Based on those videos, image of japanese people is clear: they are lunatics,
Lunatics? Who's the lunatic here? It sounds to me like the japanese are on eternal spring break and knows how to have a really good time!!
With tens of thousands of teens visiting a site daily there is a significant risk is that a couple of sex predators are on the prawl.
So the question is... does Slashdot check all users if they are registered sex offenders or does this Paulsen guy have to run his script here too?

"The two naked hosts will present their own unclothed bodies as examples of our physical embodiments, and will tell about daily human existence."
Let's hope they picked Ingrid Swede and Scarlet Johansson. It would be interesting to hear them speak about their daily life.
If you pay $8/hr, you're going to get an $8/hr guy
That's easy to fix, just pay $1600 per hour and you get a $1600/hr guy! My god, how good he must be.
Hint: Your logic has a flaw.

If "crash tests" requires "crash test dummies" then I guess we know what the rubber dolls are used for in penetration testing.

OMG PONIES!!!!!
Well, this IS supposed to be a site for stuff that matters, so how about THIS ONE
You don't think the issue here is RFID spoofing, perhaps?
It's very interesting that you say that, considering that the insurance company, Unitrin, is one of the largest owners of Intermec, Inc... and Intermec is considered the 200 lbs gorilla of the RFID business...
This thread is useless without pics.

So you're suggesting that my recent investment in the social networking sites BankHeistSpace.com and WillTradeKiddiePornVids.net is a bad move?
Actually, the ad revenue you'll get from ads if you target them at law enforcment should be enough to feed a family of four and the dogs.
Hu is essentially slapping Bush across the face.
And, even more interesting, Bill Gates is essentially slapping Bush across the face. "Hey, Mr President, looks who's the man in the house."

Um, are you saying the cat currently is both dead and alive at the same time?
In Soviet Russia, the documents report back when you read them! Oh, wait...
