Wikipedia may still be around in 150 years (and up-to-date), so in order to get an accurate picture of 2006 at that time, they will have to consult an archived version.
I have always found it ironic how evangelical/fundamentalist churches often shun the Christian aspects of the holiday (dead people) to embrace the pagan aspects of the holiday (the harvest). I don't know whether to laugh or . . . well I just laugh.
Actually I think that the change of brand from "Microsoft" to "Windows" has to do with anti-trust litigation. "Microsoft Internet Explorer" is a separate browser unfairly bundled exlcusively with a monopolistic OS. "Windows Internet Explorer" is part of the operating system itself. It may be a silly game of legal semantics.
Sorry, I fail to see how Clinton's reaction to that Fox question constitutes a scandal. There was a REAL Clinton scandal once, but trying to shoehorn this in as anything more than a brief display of anger is pretty ridiculous.
However, it was Matt Drudge who frist broke the Monica Lewinsky affair. So Clinton has had a scandal which was majorly affected by the internet. I wonder if the article was really referring to this. But I agree that recent Clinton interview was no "scandal."
It was my very first attempt at Linux, and it worked great. In fact the difficulty of the installation process causes me to recommend it to new users, because it forces newbies to learn the ins and outs of the system from the get-go.
As a hardcore Gentoo fanboy, I was also greatly saddened that they "sissied" the process with the fancy GTK installer.
After reading the article I am not sure if this is an Adobe Reader problem or a PDF problem. Every example cites an Adobe product, but the "hacker" said, "I do not really consider these attacks as vulnerabilities within Adobe. It is more exploiting features supported by the product that were never designed for this." Translation?
Additionally it is not necessary to have a malicious "payload" to test security problems. Were I running this project, I would use the standard "calc.exe" to demonstrate the security problem. I struggle to see how this is different than a proof of concept.
Having an unsecured wireless network provides plausible deniability for p2p downloading and what-not. Unless of course you live in Wyoming and have no neighbors for miles.
When John McCain was being held in VietCong POW camps he was frequently tortured. When asked for the names of members of his flight squadron, John McCain gave five names: The offensive line of his favorite NFL team. No wonder he is also against torture for the reason that it produces faulty intel.
Given that the most reasonable "something-other-than-humans-caused" global warming hypothesis I've heard so far is that the sun's energy output is increasing, (incindentally, this would also explain Martian global warming, which by some evidence matches terrestrial warming), this seems like exactly the way to go.
Actually, I am pretty sure that Martian global warming is caused by those two little SUVs we have driving around up there.
The earth's climate is cyclical. If you place that 400 year figure next to the age of the earth (say 4+ billion years), it does not seem that significant. Even if it were the warmest the earth has ever been, it does not mean that human activity is the primary cause.
This could be an issue of cultural bias, not censorship. In the English speaking west, the only thing we know about Tiananmen Square is that major pro-democracy protests occured there in 1989. To Chinese people it has a much broader significance, and the protests are only one of many notable aspects of the Square (including the fact that it is the largest public square in the world).
Perhaps a Chinese person could come to the conclusion that the US government is censoring information about the civil rights movement, because when "Lincoln Memorial" is typed into google.com, there is no mention of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech in the top results.
Joshua Marshall's Talking Points Memo has a list of where senators stand on Net Neutrality here. It still needs work, so if you have any information about your senator, you can contribute that info to TPM and they will update the list.
More importantly, if you don't like where your senators stand, give them a call.

Better yet, maybe somebody will actually *read* the theory before attacking it

Let's be honest: there is dogmatism on all sides of this debate.

This is so ungoogle. Google builds, not buys.
No, Google buys too.

I actually install Gentoo for fun!

Society is changing. Childhood is not dying. It just looks different now than it used to.
Gibson would've said the converse when they added Pluto:
"I grew up with eight planets. Now some know-nothing radicle tells me there are nine? This 'planet' Pluto is nothing but a rock of ice in space."

This reminds of that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation when the whole crew starts to de-evolve. Classic!

I guess some could be excited about Gates leaving, but do we really want Dick Cheney, er, I mean Ballmer to be in charge of things?
Bruce Perens pulled the same story over at Technocrat because the author is "from a paid political PR agency." link
Read, but read with caution. The author is paid to have his opinion.

According to the NYT article, Google also has a permit for a third building on the location.
