Well, worse, money that could have been distributed to shareholders is going to finance these Washington operations to counteract financing from the other side. It's shameful how cheaply Congressmen and Senators can be bought, and how high that transactional cost is. It seems corporations would pay less if there were a market for legislators, as troubling as the thought may be.
Here are some of the proven, reviewed, science backed theories, quoted from the NIH site above:
"AIDS and HIV infection are invariably linked in time, place and population group."
"Many studies agree that only a single factor, HIV, predicts whether a person will develop AIDS."
"HIV can be detected in virtually everyone with AIDS."
"Newborn infants have no behavioral risk factors for AIDS, yet many children born to HIV-infected mothers have developed AIDS and died."
"The HIV-infected twin develops AIDS while the uninfected twin does not."
These are peer reviewed scientific theories. Anyone can cast doubt on them, but to do so with such little evidence is irresponsible, especially considering the gravity of the disease. No serious journal proposes that AIDS is not caused by HIV.
Yes, HIV causes AIDS. To think otherwise puts millions in danger. The idea that it does not has been rejected for years by mainstream science and is perpetuated by a self-denying HIV infected population, not by science.
Slashdot news cycle: 1. Get whiff of bill potentially adding to draconian copyright protections. 2. Post leaked draft of bill. 3. Bill is introduced. Panic. 4. Bill never sees the light of day due to massive infeasibility and congressional immobility. No coverage. 5. Repeat from the top.
Remember, fastest!=best. Some filesystems cannot shrink. Some cannot change size at all. If you're doing anything with LVM or RAID, generally ext3 is the way to go. If you're just formatting a disk and using it without anything on top of it, these FS's may be for you. Then again, ext3 looks damn good in the tests as stands. XFS looks like the clear loser.
McAfee cooked its books, overstating its revenues one year by 131%, or half a billion dollars. Anyone else disappointed it wasn't for making shitty and processor hogging software?
Itunes Music Store isn't fucking profitable for Apple, it is for the content providers, and why someone would want to enter an sector with so many firms already present is beyond me. Those who get music online are more likely to steal it. The money in the industry AFAIC is in CD sales. Until the content providers stop shafting the sellers of these songs they will not be profitable.
this is not investment advice slashdot is not your broker don't sue me blah blah blah
What was his answer -- the site is down for me. If anyone here knows the history of the registry, please post it, as it seems like a tranewreck to most.
It's always the users who care whether they have root who should have it the least. I had been doing some configuration so sudo was left cached, I left my room and went to grab a soda, and a user walked across the hall and added himself to suoders. WTF?
One operating system's shitty naming scheme is not an excuse for all others to do the same. This goes both ways- for Linux and Windows. Not only that, on both OSes the installers often create shortcuts with longer names. The longer names happen to suck under Linux.
1. Those have succeeded in spite of thier names. 2. Word roots give keys to what the word means. Intellisearc, which I just made up, is pretty clear. 3. Ubuntu has a non-western root targeted at a western audience. The largest and most important market for OSes is in the West. 4. I know the root, but most non-technical people won't and won't care. The word Ubuntu gives no guidance as to what the product does. 5. Internet Explorer is a hell of a lot more intuitive than Konqueror. One would expect Konqueror to conquer something. It doesn't, and in fact, its file manipulation tools kind of suck. 6. AIM is often abbreviated IM - Instant Messenger. It says what it does. 7. Firefox was previously Firebird, which was previously Phoenix. It was named Phoenix because it was Netscape Navigator (Intuitive name!) reborn (not so intuitive, but better than Firefox). 8. Nice ad hominem, jackass.

The big block o' unreadable text argument is out of style. Please try again w/formatting.
How many peer reviewed journals are cited above? ZERO!

Don't read or eat it, you will vomit and lose much of your food points.
Are we still go with this Mars by whenever thing during the campaign? Funny, I haven't heard anything since the elections...
Um, it wasn't a subpoena, it was a request. And if companies are just GIVING away personal information, something is seriously wrong.
"2007" is a funny term for "whenever we get around to it"....
Fun facts about slashdot editors: Slashdot editors do not edit. Hire the damn copy editor, taco.
no that would be a generic not genetic database this data has meaning
Strike that, I can think of a particular casino that will jump in at some point.
It would be interesting if it gets no bids. With all the publicity, that would mean there's no one in the world stupid enough to buy this POS.
Please edit for spelling and grammar. Readable stories are good stories.
In recent future, robot sues you!
I will not buy either until safely assured the DRM is broken and I can rip as I want.

No, but i'd like to know who Jack Abramoff's been calling -- someone needs to dredge up a cell and post results.
