"It's deeply unfortunate that the EU is ignoring our lead of playfully mock-slapping Microsoft on the wrist to try to placate the unwashed masses and have instead chosen to not only fine them a whole days worth of dessert money but more importantly, create a legal precedent that could be invoked for fines that might actually hurt.

If the fine is too small and if the profits from continuing the bad behavior are too large, then the offending party has absolutely no reason for changing their behavior and they will continue to violate the law.
A slap on the wrist fine never changes behavior of the offending party favorably. It does allow them to more effectively calculate the cost of continuing to break the law ("Screw you, E.U. Here's your money.").
since they have they option, why aren't they imposing the maximum fine of 10 percent of annual turnover for the year before the decision, which for Microsoft would amount to $3.43 billion.
With $53 billion in the coffers, $613 million is a big ol' slap on the wrist.
Dr. Mike Kiley discussed biocontainment and explained biosafety levels 1 through 5 with the Plum Island facility as level 5. He emphasized the necessity of upgrading the present ARS facilities to maintain the required biosecurity.
Okay, now I REALLY, REALLY want to start to panic!

The international, multidisciplinary line-up means that competition is intense. But robotics experts from different fields will get to meet, talk and share ideas. "It is nice to let them cross-pollinate," Calkins says.
Yeah, pollinating is about as close as any of these folks will ever get to biological procreation.
Canopy are working for the protection of humanity through their efforts with SCO to ensure IP property rights, whether they be for Operating Systems or for the T-Virus. How dangerous a world would this be if open-source virus creation was freely allowed? Virus creation must be restricted to responsible, for-profit organizations that will use and allocate these resources in a consitent manner.
Oh, and even one scratch from the zombies and you'll become one too, so watch out.

Best of all, though - one week a year you'd get to leave the hospital and go here.

That's just part of the island. It has a very nice beach. Terns nest there.
It's not like it was a Level 5 research facility which would be one worse than a Level 4 research facil...what do you mean the numbering stops at 4? There is no such thing as a Level 5 research facility? Oh, that's different. In that case, I think we should panic right about now.
Manual Removal
Look for the following registry keys:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run \Generic Service Process
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Services\Generic Service Process
The associated binary may be srvhost.exe, svrhost.exe or a variation of the same. Kill the associated process in the Task Manager, then remove the "Generic Service Process" registry key. Remove the executable from the Windows system directory.

1st Voice Over: Meanwhile for Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the year 1908 was a year of triumph.
(Cut to interior of a zeppelin. A party. Expensively dressed guests. Champagne. A palm court orchestra playing. Some guests looking out of the windows in wonderment.)
Von Bulow: (approaching Zeppelin) Herr Zeppelin - it's wonderful! It's put ballooning right back on the map.
(Zeppelin goes instantly berserk with anger.)
Zeppelin: It's not a balloon! D'you hear?... It's not a balloon... It's an airship... an airship... d'you hear?
(He hits him very hard on the top of the head with the underside of his fist.)
Von Bulow: Well, it's very nice anyway.
Tirpitz: (to Zeppelin) Tell me, what is the principle of these balloons?
Zeppelin: It's not a balloon! You stupid little thick-headed Saxon git! It's not a balloon! Balloons is for kiddy-winkies. If you want to play with balloons, get outside.
(Drags Tirpitz over to the door, opens it and flings him out into the clouds.)
Does anyone know what system(s) they are running? What (if anything) are they using as firewall(s)? What types of servers are they using? What database(s)?
Is their continuing failure to secure their system due to lack of will/lack of money/what they're using or some combo of the three?
As I pointed out here, the CBO shows that 36% of the deficit comes from the W's tax cuts, 31% from defense and security spending and the rest is from the economic slowdown.
The major portion of the deficit mess we're in is directly attributable to W and can't be blamed on others or on events beyond his control.
Every President for the past 72 years, Republican and Democrat, found a way to have positive job growth in their four year term. Until W.
personally tend to sue over these sorts of things. Does this mean that they're going to start openly funding their SCO strawman to keep the lawsuit queue filled with bogus IP claims for years to come? How will the Justice Department feel about this behavior from a company that has already been civilly judged to be a monopolist?
Oh wait, I forgot who's in charge of the "Justice" Department: wrist slap, settlement, look the other way. Never mind.
The Washington Post is a newspaper. NewsMax.com is a screed collection.
I'm not saying those types of employment are beneath me. I'm saying that low paying service jobs are rarely enough to feed families/pay rent/pay doctors bills (which people have to pay because they have no health care from low paying service jobs). I'm saying that it is not a proud achievement to take a nation of skilled workers with benefits and end up with a bunch of people doing low paying service jobs with no benefits.
I'm not talking about the dot-com boom. I'm talking about the past 72 years. Every president, Republican and Democrat, since Hoover has ended up with more jobs after his four years. W won't. He's down 2.5 million. That's the conservative estimate. That doesn't take into account the people who aren't counted because they've just stopped loooking.
I'm blaming W because he's been in charge for the past 4 years. It's one of his many grand failures, as he has failed his entire life. Hopefully, he'll fail at reelection as well.
I reference "The Washington Post", you come back with "NewsMax.com"?
And you're suggesting that losing millions of jobs with health care benefits and high wages but gaining lots of massage therapists and manicurists (with no health care benefits and fairly low wages) is somehow a good thing?
