And since every intelligence agency in the free world believed Saddam had WMD and was planning on more as soon as he got out from under the mostly toothless UN sanctions it is totally unfair to condemn Bush for believing the same intelligence Hillary Clinton was reading when she voted for the war. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_1q9Q0OtJ4g&feature=related
Naaahhhhh. Nice thought, but no computational utopia yet.
How about vendors supply compile farm gateways linked from SF.NET for use by SF members. Great way for hardware vendors to show off their new stuff to folks that might be inclined to buy or have influence in the purchase decision.
Ya know, this does explain the wacky-ness of the idea. It sounds just like what would come out of a brainstorming session with Red Stripe neuron lubricant.

I would not be opposed to a simple 125x125 sponsor spot at the top of each page header. Wikipedia is sponsored by [corp]. Simple and effective. There could be a vote on ad approval by the Wikipedia community, only community approved sponsors or something similar to weed out undesirables.
FLOSS donations. Every christmas. OOo Mozilla GIMP and others that I use year round. Good suggestion, though. I really am mostly after the joy of kicking the RIAA in the nuts. They do have a legitimate purpose in keeping filesharing to a minimum, but the way they do business in general (lawsuits aside) really makes me dislike them.
I'm a lookin for this kids web site (if he has one) and I think i'll paypal him a couple of bucks. Not standing up and saying "NO" to the RIAA is as good as saying OK. I'm glad someone is returning fire.
Something else to think about... cost of manufacture. If this is designed for small form factor it is most likely going into consumer electronics. If you are dropping several hundred bucks on a digital SLR you don't mind a big lens. Cost becomes an issue with $100 mass produced Taiwanese gadgets. This seems like it will cost a helluva lot more than a simple plastic standard lens. That only leaves a small market for expensive cameras with form factor restrictions. Or so it seems.
FTA: an ancient village discovered two miles from Stonehenge that may have housed workers building the monument, or perhaps visitors after it was constructed.
No, it was something far more sinister. The SPLA: Stonehenge Project Licensing Authority official gift shoppe.
If someone opened the closet to observe the physicists' sexuality, would that observation change the outcome?
No, it will not change the outcome. While the biologist is still in the closet unobserved they are both straight and gay at the same time. Note: this is different than bi, this is poly-phasic probabilistic sexuality. Only when the biologist is dragged out of the closet and observed will the quantum wave function collapse into a determined outcome.
This also begs for a joke about "entanglement" that I am going to pass on.
Yeah, we keep pestering him to do so, but he is already 67 and is close to retirement so he is just going to stick around and deal with it for a while longer.
My poor father has it pretty bad. He is an architect and puts in around 80 a week (not as an option) and for the second (or is it the third?) year running got a $100 gift car. Not any gift card, mind you, but a gift card to the luxurious Ralph's supermarket.
Not Quite. Here for more
The top 1% pay about 30% of all taxes
The top 5% pay about 50% of all taxes
and the top 50% pay about 98% of all taxes
Tax breaks for the rich?! DUH only the rich can get 'em cause the botom 50% is getting the money.
I tend to reinstall my OS every 6-9 months. Swapping hardware, testing drivers, the occasional software that just won't uninstall all adds up and makes all versions of windows glitchy and crufty. The Solution? Reinstall the OS.
I refuse to pick up the phone and explain to MS why I should be allowed to reinstall XP. 2k no suck problems.
My reason for sticking with 2K until I am forced to move? General F'ing Principal.
If I understand right, Fox bought Myspace and YouTube, or Myspace bought YouTube and Fox bought Myspace or some damn thing. Point is, what is Fox going to do with its collection of media. Follow the lead of Warner I hope. And why did Warner deal with YouTube instead of rolling out it's own service (lots of eyeballs good for media companies) or partnering with Google's video service or buy something like Blip.tv.
[tinfoil hat]I think something might be going on here[/tinfoil hat]
Yeah, I know it's Warner music and Fox is mostly non music, but still they have gots ons of stuff rotting away in vaults somewhere, you would think earning something from it would be easier than trying to sue/arrest/pester/etc. people for distributing stuff no longer on the air.
They can be "Not Amused" all they like... A second point of reference can only be a good thing. Especially for topics like nuclear power. I have noticed how everyone becomes an expert as soon as the topic of "melt downs" or "nuclear power" comes up. Their fields of instant expertise vary from nuclear physics to statistics to medicine to environmental engineering to genetics.
Having an Wikipedia alternative where a real (I hope) expert watches entries like this and provides good solid data and knuckle draggers are not allowed to correct the "expert" with pop culture bullsh1t can only be a good thing.
Don't get me wrong, I still love the Wiki... I just don't understand why the bad vibes.
That doesn't sound like that is all that much to brag about. Since I don't think he will be getting many paychecks from said spyware company DollarRevenuefor likely TOS violation and subsequent slashdotting. Am I missing something here?

random thought... The phrase "Scum Bag" is currently an insult. Will we change that to be a bit of praise for a hard worker?
Yeah, we keep pestering him to do so, but he is already 67 and is close to retirement so he is just going to stick around and deal with it for a while longer.

It is more of an insult than a "thank you for your team effort". A simple handshake would be better.
