Now they need to have another study: tell patients that they are being prayed for , yet don't do it, and see how well they fare. My guess: they'll have increased recovery.
It looks like they added only an "A" record -- records which denote web addresses, not mail "MX" addresses, thus they will not be receiving bounced e-mail.
A framework for developing the system would be set up during meetings by government ministers in mid-September, followed by committee meetings involving private-sector specialists from each of the three nations in November.
1) An operating system designed by a committee is going to fail.
2) An operating system controlled by a government is eventually going to be oppressive and restrictive.
1) Your calculations are off. 20 years * 365 d/y * 12 hours/day * 60 min/hr/2 million stones = 2.6 blocks/minutes. That's significantly longer than 20-30 seconds.
2) If you use slightly different numbers: 2.3 million blocks, and assume they worked for 40 years at 12 hours per day (or 20 years at 24 hrs/day), then you get that they put up a block every 4.6 minutes. Pretty close to what you think that we could do.

STRANGE FINDING
CCC also it was alerted of a second varamiento of whale in the Pinuno beach, 3.9 kilometers to the north of the place where the unit of jorobada whale is located, reason why Sunday attended the place in hours in the morning.
When acceding to the zone, the inspection equipment could verify that it would not be a cetacean, but of an invertebrate of great dimensions. To grief that other declarations affirm that it would be the leather of a died whale in the ocean, CCC are making the managements to send samples from weave to France with the purpose of making genetic analysis to determine if a mysterious animal is a giant squid (Octopus giganteus) of which a water registry exists only of Florida, the United States, in 1896.
(FWIW, IANAL) Web site content is copyrighted. Therefore, you have a right to make your own personal copy, and backup copies, but it is not legal to redistribute those copies without the site owner's permission. I cannot imagine that the Wayback machine or the Google cache is legal. They are blatantly disregarding the site owners' copyright.
That said, I think the law should be changed or at least clarified, because it is patently (pun intended) obvious that those services are doing a vast social good, and should be encouraged.
Of course, pedantry requires that me to point out that it is 0.00326 of the market, which is 0.326%, a hundred times larger than you calculated. A third of a percent of a huge market is not bad, especially when it's pure profit.
SCO will be very interested to see what the outcome of this situation is. They (wrongly) feel that they are in the same situation. Their "copyrighted code" is out in public, and they want to regain control over it.
Would a judge somewhere be willing to rule that all the wild copies of WASTE are to be destroyed, and that using that code violates AOL/Nullsoft's copyright? Will we have to do line-by-line comparisons of TRASH and GARBAGE to see if it was copied from WASTE?

... we just want to get the RIAA off our backs. How do other university IT departments educate students to stop attracting the RIAA's attention?...
Students keep smoking pot in their dorm rooms. The cops keep telling us it's not legal. How do other universities educate their students in not getting caught?
Specifically, a corporation is legally a person
Fortunately, this is not true.
I doubt your idea would truly go far. The argument, as I guess it to be, would be that when the corporation makes a copy for the member to play, it would be creating a copy which is *not* for the purpose of backup. That copy would be infringing on the copyright owner's right, and the corporation would have broken the law.
Are the sales release criteria made public? What if a company wants to change them? Who is going to enforce this? What if a company wants to remove it, or refuses to gives sales figures?
Until these details are ironed out, this program is useless.
The GPL, one of the licenses under which MySQL is distributed, states that if you re-distribute it, you are also required to share the changed source code.
My complaint was that the article was imprecise. If a company changes, but does not re-distribute MySQL, they are under no obligation at all, ethical or legal. If they re-distribute it then they are under a legal obligation to share their changes to anyone who uses it (not just MySQL AB).
Anybody can download the product for free and use it for whatever they want, but in so doing they become ethically obliged to share any modifications with the company.
That's a load of cr*p. I doubt SlashDot readers need a lesson on the GPL and its implications. I wish journalists could be more precise.
local government ban on the sale of violent video games to minors
The U.S. has already decided that pornography can be restricted from sale to minors at the local government level. Restricting sale of "harmful" things to minors is a well-established fact. What rights of *yours* are being trampled here?
(Personally, I think it daft to restrict the sale of pictures of beatiful naked adult bodies, and allow the unrestricted sale of war-training, flame-throwing, vivisecting , blood-spattering games.)

IETF to Look at Spam
·
· Score: 1
I am not missing any points.
1) The e-mails do not need to be physically stored. People would certainly work around this by making the content of the IM2000 mail server be dynamic, thus relieving themselves of the burden of storing 1,000,000 pieces of mail. If anything, this could make it *more* cost-effective to send spam!
2) The recipient does not know whether the e-mail is spam or not, thus they or their software will grab the spam anyway.
3) This is how those annoying HTML e-mails which grab images from other sites work now. Is that stopping spammers? I don't think so. They *like* to send spam this way!
Bottom line: You are not going to stop spam by just looking at the server from which it came. Granted, you can make some 80% valid judgments, but very few people are going to accept an 80% correct spam filter.
Slashdot Mirror
And you are quite certain that the extra 3% that we put into the air is not harmful? Pray, back that up with a fact.
One would hope that the sentence in the synopsis would help you figure out that:
"OPIE is an Open Source User Interface and Apps for Linux PDAs built on Qt Embedded."

Yet.
You mean make them all have babies?

If Hilary Rosen did not make the policy, who did? Which particular people should we know about who are pulling the strings?
President Cary Sherman? The board of directors? Jack Valenti of the MPAA?

The Zaurus has had a high-performance open source replacement ROM for a long time. It is OpenZaurus. There are some good reasons to use it.
The quote is nice, but it is not accurate.

Lots of people use OpenZaurus which is more stable, configurable, and (need I say?) way cooler than the proprietary ROM that comes with the machine.
