Bingo! Exactly my point. Who the fuck gives a rats ass about a stoner singer who had "issues" - big fuckin' deal. Its not like Cobain was a phenomenal singer. He can hardly sing. Granted he is way better than Britney, still does not warrant to be featured story. I bet if he died now, CNN would just dedicate a week for him. Sad indeed.
Attaching shit to your T-Shirt that looks like a bomb sounds like a great way to end your life.
First of all, I am not supporting that girl - she is dumb even for some one from MIT. But I fail to understand how it "looked like a bomb"? Do you know how a bomb is supposed to look like? Just because it has wires and batteries doesn't mean it is a bomb, heck then every single electronic device in airport is a bomb then. Stop your mindless sensationalist reasoning for a stupid, incompetent and ignorant excuse for a human being called TSA.
We need a "Naive" moderation in the list. Stop being naive and accept the fact that you are never going to get paid like you did in 99. Why the fuck would any corporation think of your welfare? Whenever I see a post related to H1B or outsourcing, I see gazillion comments complaining how they are looking for cheap labor. Of course they are! Fuck, even in a socialist country (if there are any) they'd be looking for cheap labor. If you don't like it, form your own Microsoft and pay all the American citizens hefty amounts and don't hire any foreigners. Until then, go back to your dungeon and shut up.
Does she seriously expect the courts to award such a devastating judgement against one of the richest IP holding organizations in the country?
She is disabled, not retarded.
The teacher of the science class had apparently even taken the step of stating at the start of the school year that there were other theories on the origin of life
Those other "theories" are not "scientific theories"
I have a friend who works in Google India. And when I asked about this new phenomenon, he said that there is no shortage of applicants, but there is a shortage of "qualified" applicants. For every software engineering position they anounce, thousands of resumes are received, but none of them meet their requirements. So this shortage is not some random IT position but very specific skilled positions that the Indian tech populace is unable to fill.
I think you are approaching it the wrong way. Development environment, coding standards, physical security etc depend on policies and laws as far these voting machines are concerned. For e.g. Diebold makes all kinds of machines like ATM, kiosks etc and every single one of them has a paper trail. But when it comes to these voting machines, they don't. So it's not that their developers were sloppy or the architects were crazy, its just policies laid out by CEO or whoever the heck he is and how much green they are making. Blaming the development environment seems more appropriate when that is the only conecern.
The absolute majority of foreign students are not eligible for FAFSA
That is the most important point, which most people including professors themselves don't know. I don't think there is any federal financial aid for foreign except for very very minute segment. So if the FBI is investigating or analyzing these records you have to wonder who they are "striking back" against? US citizens? FBI sure does have heads up their asses.
Call me an idiot but I'd expect that most important job of a cell phone is to make calls (and hopefully not drop them). I don't care if it can store roman numerals for crying out loud all I am asking is to let me make and receive calls, even indoors. Seems like that is a feature that no one is interested any more.
can we get electricity/water/food for all the poor people out there who don't even know what a blog is?
Wow, I have never seen a more rhetorical question from a guy who comes from India and is apparently settled in US (visit his website). Somehow I feel that you are one of those millions of Indians in US who feels they care about their country and express it in soulless words. If you were all that concerned, you wouldn't be waving racing flags at Nascar races, but instead be in India and help the poor in that country get education or something goddamit.
I am guessing that it's most likely related to the recent Terrorist attacks in Mumbai
No. You are giving too much credit there. Stupid actions like these are acts of an idiot bureaucrat, who thinks he is doing society a favor by not creating religious tensions. For e.g. 4 states in India banned the recent Da Vinci Code. Well just like in US, you can file a case in the state's supreme court and the supreme court actually chided the state govt for crossing the line. Thus, it is a matter of time before someone actually files a case and this thing will be over turned.

What are they hiding?
Awesome, Anonymous Coward is wondering what the other dude is hiding...

Now isn't this link much better?. Why is it so difficult to submit these links instead? Sigh...
By altering behavior, if they mean using encryption, poxies, tor etc etc then it is a welcome change.
WTF did Nebraska do? Do you even know that one of the original developers of Apache was from Nebraska? No more corn for you!
Its reviewed by wall street journal. May be it was a slow news day at wall street and they realized that there is some thing called portals.
Buy software. Look at the screenshots.
Wanna bet? Its a matter of time, before it gets hacked. This is too good a device to just leave it alone. Heck I'd even learn objective-C if I had to.
If it already is not a crime in America, just wait, it'll soon be

.Unlike Christianity, where people are not trying to do the same with a video game where you kill non-believers.
yup, somebody should have told Rupert Murdoch.

"Nothing to see here please move along"? If yes, then I'd have to agree, it'd be his best work so far.

Ever hear of wikipedia? Anyways, try this link

Yes and tabloids like slashdot love to "take a look" at our idol's personal life.
May be they are racist? ;)
