Isn't something like this rare and interesting(*)? Why risk sending it into space just for the novelty value of saying it has done so?
* I tried looking at the official Edision national historic site at http://www.nps.gov/edis/home.htm to see how rare this is, but of course this site was shutdown yesterday!
NASA used different contractors for the top and bottom halves of the lightning scale. These contractors used different units... with hilarious results.
It could also be because they didn't take many measurements at sea and the poles! As evidenced by the fact that these regions are colour-coded grey & white which don't appear on the key.
I'm sure you are right really... I just thought it amusing that they're drawing conclusions from data that doesn't exist or at least isn't presented in the NS article.
netcraft shows lots of different OS and servers are being used. The security breach could have been done through anyone of them, or the bad security could've been on the database itself.
For example :
The site doi.gov is running Lotus-Domino/5.0.8 on NT4/Windows 98.
The site www.den.doi.gov is running Netscape-Enterprise/4.0 on Solaris 8.
The site www.ios.doi.gov is running Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) on unknown.
The site www.doi.gov is running Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) on Solaris
I couldn't spot a document on indiantrust.org which went into technical details either... then again, that's not the sort of information they want to make public if the DOI wasn't addressing the problem.
A judge can put a person into prison for life or sentence them to death.
Ordering the turning off of all computers that are leaking personal sensitive information (a)the right thing to do amd (b) not nearly as drastic as some other things judges can order.
a) Music. I have headphones on most of the time. Infra-red ones, so I don't get tangled. Just make sure people aren't scared of interrupting you - my colleagues know that I'm not blocking them out and am willing to talk to them.
b) Walking. I wander around and chat with friends.

"destroy the American way of life, there is no doubt he has succeeded"
I think you're exaggerating just a tad. The way of life for most people either hasn't really changed at all or they accept those changes as necessary.
Destroyed? Nah. Altered? Maybe a smidgeon

Prohibition was brought in and removed by amendments to the constitution
Amendment XVIII - Ratified 1/16/1919.
Repealed by Amendment XXI, 12/5/1933
Amendment 18 took effect 1 year later, so 13 years. I would suspect that changes to laws are easier than amendments to the constitution though, so it's hardly a fair comparision.
How good are open-source projects at providing a service rather than just the technology.
AV companies provide more than just the scanning software - there's weekly updates, rapid response updates if a nasty virus gets loose (detection is often available within the hour in the case of something like Nimda), centralised reporting, consulting (both for managing the product and for designing a secure environment). etc.
Because it wouldn't look competitive against the non-open alternatives.
Many of the viruses that the commercial AV products detect are not in the wild - they exist only in the AV vendors' collections (and on the disk of the original author).
The AV companies share viruses amongst themselves because there is a high level of trust even though they are in competition.
They are unlikely to share with the world, not because of the free competition, but because they don't want the viruses so wildly distributed. The best way to avoid viruses is to stop them getting out in the first place.
If Mcafee detects 50000 viruses and OpenAV detects 500 (collected from the wild) then which will people think protects them more?

It's a fair cop; I'm not very familiar with the US legal system.
I thought juries decided on guilty/not guilty and the judge decides the sentence - that's how it works where I come from.

The people most interested in this article can't read it.

That wasn't too hard, was it?
This IT will be a huge success - electric powered novelty vehicles from strange inventors have a great track record
what practical use does it have
1) it can go faster than you can walk/run/cycle
and/or
2) it prevents you getting tired.
it's like every machine - it does something that humans can already do - but better in some way (faster,stronger,longer,higher,deeper)
A quick search after submitting the story turned up these articles
GutterBunny->Release();

It doesn't have to be in the form of a full OS though.
It could be a set of patches.
If they don't want the whole OS distributed freely, they shouldn't distribute the whole OS.
You may not like this advice but Microsoft have lots of information on i18n and l10n
Some is Windows based, obviously, but some isn't.
It's a good reference if you're not ideologically opposed to visiting some sites
What SHOULD they have done?
They should have released an update to the O/S not the full OS with an app to make sure it is only used to update.

Compare that to the first few entries in the wildlist
