I'm not sure you understand what motivates the average hacker/geek. Chances are this gets fixed by some guy who is simply trying to get his favourite porn site back up!
By that logic all cars should be limited to 65mph. I mean, the most common reason for driving faster than that is speeding, which is illegal. Or am I missing something about your argument?

Bastard! Now I'm going to have "Video Killed the Radio Star" stuck in my head for the whole weekend.
Yep. Most of the "artists" out there today owe more to their producers and marketing agents than to their talent. Oh, and their looks. Being blond with big knockers is a sure fire road to stardom.
I always find it interesting to watch the groups that perform on SNL. Most of them sound like losing entries for American Idol. The only exception I've seen so far was U2. Damn, there is some real talent there. And I say that even though I don't even like them much...
MMh... you could be right, but I suspect this might follow the gaming console pattern. MS might come up with something good, but will have to sell at a huge loss to break into the market. We'll just have to wait and see...
Yeah... we could have used $200 billion we are spending on Iraq and still have had $70 billion left over when we were done.
Use the $70 billion to pay off some of the deficit or something like that. End up with grandchildren who have renewable energy AND who don't have to work as hard to pay of the debt we put them under...
From a Truth In Advertising (ha!) standpoint, it certainly stinks.
This seems to pretty normal for auto manufacturers. Even the 60% figure mentioned in the article isn't that strange. My Acura RSX has an EPA rating of 27mpg in the city, but CU only rates it at 18mpg in the city. That's only 66% of the predicted fuel economy.
The divergence in smaller for the highway figures, but as I commute in NJ the highway figures are purely academic to me. Then again in NJ the concept of clean air is also purely academic...:)
Funny thing is, the only time I have had e-mails bounced as spam was when I sent them to a friend in South Africa. Their largest ISP (MWeb) had my ISP (Optimum) blacklisted. I eventually had to resort to hotmail to get my e-mails through.
So while your sweeping statement might have some merit, it seems as if the rest of the world are also getting tired of dealing with US spammers...
Powell represents the US in name only. In reality I don't think he represents anything other than how fucked up this administration is. Remember, you are talking about the guy who only got told about the descision to go to war with Iraq couple of weeks after Dubya had informed the Saudis...
Then again he refers to Cheney and Co. as the Gestapo, so at least he is in tune with the feelings of the rest of the world.
PS. Wonder how Godwin's Law applies to the White House?
Who the hell moderated you insightful when you didn't even to RTFA?
What part of "How can content creators prevent their entire domain from being blacklisted because of a small amount of controversial content?
" didn't you understand?
Idiot.

Tacoma Narrows anybody?
I work with a couple of civil engineers and in a previous life I did some IT work at a construction company. What this has taught me is that Weinberg's Law was thought up by people who never stepped onto a construction site.
Yes, there is a lot more formalized rules and many more years of experience in the construction industry, but people are still people and they get lazy and cut corners just like in any industry.
I guess what I am trying to say is that we can learn a lot from the brick and mortar crowd, but don't think they have all the answers.
I was planning on making some "In Soviet Russia" joke, but I guess you won't understand why it was funny.
PS. Just the fact that you are posting on/. probably means that you fall in that top 2% (when you consider the planet as a whole). Remember, the majority in this case is the billions of people in the third world who also want a piece of the action.

OK. So why don't we give them all greencards and let them move to the US. Then the playing field is level by default AND we can tax them!
Oh wait, I forgot we are supposed to be against all those damn foreigners with their H1s taking our jobs...
Ah come on. This is Slashdot. We can still have BSD is dead/dying articles, can't we?
After all, it's tradition!

Of course you didn't get spam when Carter was president. Gore hadn't invented the internet yet!

Days off? What is this you speak of?
Yeah. Imagine in 20 years it will be the Brits making fun of American's teeth!
Yeah... to paraphrase some Zen dude: If a server bursts into a flame where nobody can hear it, does it matter if it is silent or not?

Mmhhh... I would have thought God was a cross-cutting concern, not an object. So maybe the answer lies in AOP, not OOP?

Mmmhh... I'd say this is more than a software patch and $20 in parts...

Ah, but they do pay if you are the guy hit by the drunk driver. So yes, it does affect your premiums.
