Recover actual tiles? Oh yeah. On a local TV station I saw footage of what is quite clearly a tile laying next to the driveway of a school. They've got it cordoned off with yellow tape and police are keeping it under guard.
what the hell are those pressurized tanks in the bkgd? Are they really lighting LOX only 4 meters away from that much explosive material?
Uh, no. They are not. From the top of the page at the URL you gave:
Yes, those are really "propane" tanks in the background, however, they are new and have never been filled with propane. They contain nonflammable "dry nitrogen".
With a gang of zombies at his command, the creator of a superworm could mob a Web site or computer system, flooding it with bogus electronic transmissions until it drowned in the data torrent.
A smart worm could just post a link to the website it wants to bring down to Slashdot in an article made of carefuly crafted phrases built of buzzwords.
So who needs a gang of zombies? Oh, wait.... nevermind.

Hey whereiswaldo, I think you need to get a new keyboard. Yours appears to have developed a serious cough.
My response is and always has been who gives a rats ass if they cant multiply by hand, as long as they can get the correct answer with tools readily available.
Well my response would be maybe your boss gives a rat ass. Maybe he decides he doesn't want a bunch of dumb fucks working for him so he takes away all of your "tools, readily available."
Then you couldn't even:
- total a column of numbers
- calculate how much a 7.25 percent rate hike would increase the cost of a service
- work a typewriter and finish a letter in an appropriate amount of time without dozens of spelling mistakes.
It's coming to a situation where people can't multiply or divide and can't add or subtract either.
These are same people who can't quickly count out your change at the fast foot joint.
I mean come on, how long should it take someone to realize that 0.83 is two quarters, three dimes, and three pennies? Should they even have to check that twice?
majestynine: "We have major problems in the medical world, because anti-biotics have been regularly prescribed for common colds since antibiotics have existed."
and
Handpaper: "Influenza and "acute nasopharyngitis" (common cold) are viral and cannot be treated in any way by antibiotics."
We have problems with antibiotic resistant bacteria because viral infections are not treatable with antibiotics and doctors have been giving antibiotics to patients who really didn't need them in the first place. Is this because the doctors are stupid and don't know any better?
No, it is because the doctor's time is valuable and he doesn't wish to waste it going around in circles with Mrs. Dumbass explaining to her that antibiotics won't do a damn thing for her cold, so he just sticks her with penicillin or writes her a scrip to shut her up and get the ignorant bitch the hell out of his office.
Later on when she comes down with a penicillin resistant strep infection he can make a bundle selling her one of the new miracle antibiotics (not that this was his intention but it works out that way because Mrs. Dumbass didn't know what was good for her and wouldn't listen to her doctor's advice.)
IANALE - I am not a Linux expert. (But I ain-t Joe Six-Pack either.)
From my reading of the LSB it seems to address base level system issues:
- Having at least the minimum standard set of base, utility, and graphic libraries.
- Having at least the minimum standard set of system commands.
- Having standard init script actions, comments.
I don't see anything in the LSB regarding the location of window manager configuration files. Maybe they will add something regarding that to the standard in the future.
For now the focus of the LSB seems to be standardizing distros so that applications will install to standard locations, can expect standard libraries to exist, and can expect that system configuration information will be the same across distros.
And where pray tell will you find a major publishing house that is willing to take that step?
They would almost certainly take a great deal of damage from the press and outraged politicians and the public.
Just look how fast HP backed off of their threat to SnoSoft. They realized they had stirred up a hornet's nest and beat a hasty retreat.
If any publisher were to take such an action they would probably encounter the same reaction as did HP and respond in the same way as HP.
Even if they stuck to their guns and came out after the smoke settled and said "We just did it to challenge the DCMA." a lot of people would not believe that and their business might not ever get over the bad publicity.
Yes,you might think it was suspicious if it was sitting out in the open. If it was stuck up in the ceiling or taped up on the underside of the work surface in a cubicle you'd never even see it and never even be suspicious.
Avon Skin-So-Soft is a good mosquito repellent (most likely due to the mineral oil.) Probably any thing else with a similar amount of mineral oil would be as effective. Mosquitos will get close to you but the second they contact you (and the oil) they pull away, probably to avoid being trapped.

Yaledailynews has met it's doom. Slashdotted that is.
The Yale website apparently used names, birth dates, and social security information as unique identifiers to allow access to the site. They are considering adding a PIN in the future.
Maybe they could use a credit card number as a PIN. Then it could be a one-stop shop for the lazy identity-thief.

Duh!
Tha't s why it shuts off after a preset period of time and will not turn back on until another preset period has passed.

Carjackers a problem? Then you should get one of those nifty South African flamethrowers that mounts on the undercarriage of your car.
Press a button and WHOOSH! They'll suddenly realize that A) they are on fire, and B) that they should have picked a different car.
Of course if you live in one of those countries where carjackers are considered to have 'rights' such a system might not be the best choice.
