An experiment that envisaged sending a parcel from space to Earth on a 30-kilometre tether fell short of its goal yesterday when the long fibre rope did not fully unwind
So that's how UPS plans on routing packages in the future. Perhaps they realize that the only way to achieve more damage per parcel is to actually drop them from outer space.
In addition to the damages, jurors awarded Sprint Nextel a 5 percent royalty from Vonage on future revenues.
The correct legal strategy here is, change their name to an unpronounceable symbol, and force everyone to call them "the telecommunications company formerly known as Vonage".
Doesn't running the leading search engine already give you a pretty good idea about which sites are popular?
I imagine it gives a pretty good idea, but something like this would allow pretty easy creation of an alexa competitor (which is kind of different data). For example, I have slashdot bookmarked. I usually don't ever search for it.
The development is raising questions about how the MPAA got an anti-camcording bill passed in only three weeks and what it means for the introduction of a Canadian DMCA.
Well, it's kind of obvious. She's only against the use of camcorders in movie theaters. if you know what I mean.
Monsoon Multimedia was quick to admit that they had violated the GPLv2 in their modified BusyBox code and will soon be releasing the source to come into full compliance with the license.
I hate to sound like a pessimist, but this sounds like nothing but a win for Monsoon. Number one, there's no mention of any cash payout, and number two, they get a shit-ton of free advertising for doing the "right thing".
even though Web 2.0 is just now starting to gain widespread acceptance, there are those who are already trying to hijack the term Web 3.0.
Well pity on them, because little to they know that the version numbers for the internet do not increment by one, they double. So the next version will be 4.0.
As Apple gets more and more of its revenue from non-Mac devices, they are also getting more and more of their revenue from devices that simply exclude third parties. Consumers suffer from this.
I wouldn't refer to anyone that can afford a $600 phone as "suffering".
Why the pulses affect mood is still unclear, but scientists believe that they may facilitate chemical communication between brain cells, possibly by forcing ions through nerve fibers called axons.
The European Commission said it had set a review deadline of October 26, when it could approve the deal, give a two-week extension or open an in-depth, four-month investigation
It's not friction unless the EU doesn't approve the deal on October 26. Until then, this is normal process. I would question who this "anonymous reader" who submitted the misleading headline is.
Something you have to realise is that the RIAA thinks they're the good guys here, defending their historical industry against the eeeevil pirates.
They do think they're the "good guys", which is
more of a motive than you might think. When you're the "good guy", your own misdeeds can be morally justified (at least in your own mind) because your overall mission is "good", not "evil".
when plaintiffs dismissed their claims in June 2007, they apparently had no more material evidence to support their claims than they did when they first contacted defendant in February 2005
You'd think it would take them a lot less than two years to fabricate the proper evidence. Maybe their "research" team is running a backlog of cases and this one fell through the cracks.
Engineering research facilities that interview candidates based only on how many papers they have had published also risk adding to the problem, according to Berners-Lee, because of an apparent in-built bias against women.
I don't get it. is the task of writing papers inherently biased against women?
Slashdot Mirror
Were they from your private stash?
No, I think they were self-portraiture.
This case will look at whether or not it makes sense to allow for that type of double, triple or quadruple dipping.
That depends. who's asking? It always makes sense if you're a lawyer.

"I believe that if you give people real value (music or anything else) they are happy to pay."
I believe that if the RIAA members were in the business of giving people anything of real value, there would not exist an RIAA.
I wanted to upgrade from Vista to XP when I bought my laptop a few months ago. Where was this offer then?
This offer was still around, it was just only available through Bittorrent.

mrspin writes in to note the demise of Virgin Digital
That's because the digital media that people are searching for involving Virgins isn't what they were offering.

But seriously, flipping 180 degrees with each step? That reduces the useful applications
Not if the application you have in mind involves BEING COMPLETELY AWESOME, it doesn't.

The interface has remained largely untouched since it launched, but get ready, it's soon to undergo a change in what they describe as a 'New Version'.
Does that mean they're going to rename the existing version "O.G. Mail?"

That explains the screaming. They are angry that the pleasure gun has stopped.
Don't stop tasing me, bro!
Happiness Is A Warm Electrode
Hmm, I always thought that happiness was a warm gun.
It's actually both, which means, logically, that happiness is a taser.

Isn't that the same way World of Warcraft works?

...according to those with knowledge of what is known internally as the "Cyber Initiative." Details of the project are highly classified.
Well, if it's highly classified, then we can ount on the fact that it's money well spent
(/sarcasm)
LessWatts is short, understandable and catchy. FewerWatts or LessWattage just sounds pedantic.
Or, they could have gone the nostalgia route and used "WattsYouTalkinAboutWillis.com"
LessWatts.org is about how you can save real watts
Real watts? You mean as opposed to imaginary watts?

We're talking about Petabytes, not Pedobytes.
