And they're naming their lunar exploration company after/Shackleton/ ? Not only did he never reach the South Pole, but:
"Shackleton's life was generally restless and unfulfilled. In his search for rapid pathways to wealth and security he launched many business ventures and other money-making schemes, none of which prospered. His financial affairs were generally muddled; when he died he was heavily in debt." [ Wikipedia ]
Might want to talk to your marketing guys about that one...
But one of the biggest ISPs is Time Warner Cable. They are certainly **not** going to help Netflix deliver unlimited movies for $13/mo, when TW charges a lot more for the same thing.

Cheap deep-packet inspection (using an old hub and Wireshark) ?
It'll happen on a random Saturday afternoon on SyFy, and will star Randy Quaid, or maybe one of the Baldwin brothers. After the Evil CEO (or maybe the Evil Govt. Official) ignores his scientific advisers and uses a nuke, the leak will erupt into a monstrous CGI oil-geyser and send a hundred-foot high tsunami of flaming petro-death towards Florida.
Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/#ja|en| ) seems to work well enough (except for the text embedded in images). The price is 1890 Y ; but as far as I can determine they don't ship outside Japan.
It also encourages people to be able to speak freely without fear of persecution. Without anonymity it would be impossible for whistleblowers to out evil empire corps without losing their jobs and probably never being hired again.
.
Exactly. It encourages a sub-optimal solution (put up with oppressive corporations and governments, just hide from them) instead of the optimal one (everyone in the world stand up to them and fight them out of existence).
OTOH if these clusters actually superconduct, it ought to be feasible to make nanoscale SQUID sensors out of them ; and for this application, a weak critical field or current wouldn't matter so much.
If a repressive regime started using these on their own citizens, other countries might decide to build and supply the resistance with cheap man-portable missiles which take advantage of the bright microwave beam for guidance...
The quality of the Oz books is very uneven. Some of the later ones have long, extremely tedious sections that serve no purpose except to bring back a long list of favorite characters like Jack Pumpkinhead
Perhaps they could replace him with Stan Winston's Pumpkinhead
("Bolted doors and windows barred, Guard dogs prowling in the yard,
Won't protect you in your bed, Nothing will, from Pumpkinhead.)
[SVG] doesn't even seem to be gaining much steam now that more browsers support it, Firefox and Opera support natively and although IE doesn't, Adobe includes an SVG plug-in for IE with installations of Acrobat Reader (or at least they did, I haven't checked lately).
Adobe has announced they will drop support for the plug-in on January 1st 2008. And I suspect that by then, Firefox still won't provide any controls to pan or zoom embedded SVG images (which leaves it useless for large diagrams, maps, etc.)
According to the SoundExchange FAQ, this only applies if you want to rely on SoundExchange to get you a statutory license. So stations willing to negotiate directly with the artists and get nonstatutory licenses, wouldn't have to pay SoundExchange royalties. (Although that said, they apparently forbid SoundExchange members from granting separate licenses, so this would only work with artists who are willing to boycott SoundExchange...)

Have they also budgeted for the 1800 miles of road/rail leading up to the tunnel approaches? From a quick Google Maps search, they have to link Fairbanks on the U.S. side (600 miles off) and Magadan on the Russian side (1200 miles). The terrain between is a nasty mix of marsh, mountains, and permafrost too.
Still, it'd be way cool to be able to road-trip to Europe!
Once you get close to the frequency of infrared light... Why not just make the jump, and go with light instead?
They're both going to be line-of-sight anyhow, with anything that blocks light very likely also blocks THz rf.
Actually no; terahertz rays can go through wood, sheetrock, masonry, etc. (but not metal or water).
Slashdot Mirror
Before anyone sinks too much money into this mission, perhaps we should wait and see whether a 50-km wide comet is going to slam into Mars in 2014 ?
It would suck if there's nothing left to see but ash clouds and a 500 km wide magma lake.
Javascript, of course

It runs just fine on my low-end Blu-Ray player (which came with an ethernet in jack), so no computer needed.

Even if it had a low critical current, the alleged room-temperature superconductor would be useful for SQUIDs and Josephson junctions.

Yes, but if the OP wants to "get involved in politics"
they need to learn to ask more fundamental questions
than just "Is OpenSource a good thing"
- Who will get more power or money because of this change?
- Who will get less?
- Do the persons who will get less have the power to stop
the new idea?
- If so, can you offer them anything to make them accept
the new idea anyway?

Now the spammers can pay people in ${ThirdWorldNation}
to rate advertisements higher and comment favorably
on them
which IMHO makes it useless for large or intricate diagrams.
Upholster it to make a combination papasan chair and satellite dish!

Maybe McFarlane was influenced by the Marin Independent Journal's movie synopsis:
"Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman, then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again."
