Because the radioactive dust that settle around was later kicked off by the tires of the vehicles driving through.
No, you wouldn't be screwed if you stopped on the road for a while, but it would cause damage over a period of time. Even driving through will have some effect. Radiation is a cumulative thing like time x strength.
Chief Software Architect Kevin Lynch said the company would begin soon by offering optimizations to allow Flash MX, its main set of tools for creating Flash content, to work smoothly with Wine, an emulation program that allows Windows programs to run on a Linux PC.
Would you say that Macromedia might Lynch the idea once they figured out that Wine Is Not an Emulator?
WAP was designed as a dumbed down "html" using xml, speficially for devices with small screen sizes and slow processors. It was good for the cellphones at the time. Now, cells phones are much more powerful, often come with colour screens featuring more pixels -- enough to be usable on legacy (html 4.0) webpages. And if a website is properly designed with CSS for layout, these new phones have no problem displaying the content of existing webpages, eliminating the whole need of WAP.
The USA is less rich than it appears. A lot of the high lifestyle that even the lowest classes live is all financed on consumer debt. People are already reaching their credit limits. Once people can no longer finance new things, they can't purchase new things, and you know where that leads. Like any venture financed with debt, it must return enough to more than compensate for the cost of servicing the debt. As consumer tend to only buy things which don't make money, they're taken on huge amounts of debt that will reduce their buying power for many years to come.
The only difference between the USSR and the USA is that the debt is riding more on the individual consumers in the US. Either way, the people owe lots. The US hasn't provided a decent standard of living for its quater billion citizens.

Already fixed. I missed the -k on the command line ;)
Whatever, coward.

I should also mention that I pay for the bandwidth at that domain, so I deserve some credit for making a mirror.
Better to post it at the top of the story now -- that way people will find it when the site goes down, coward.

Or Konqueror, too, though it's somewhat disguised as the "profiles" feature under the Settings menu.
Hopefully the new integrated operating system kernel will have decent threads performance -- I hear they still haven't got that figured out in EMACS.
Apparently Romulan spacecraft aren't the only thing powered by deep, dark singularities...
I suddenly feel so young!
Put a giant corkscrew into a solid side of a mountain. Attach string to corkscrew.

And thus WAP died.

Looks like the little hamster in the little hamster wheel in the computer died.
Dude! That's an ingenious marketing idea... Mir brand duct tape!
Yeah, but does any comic explain the Slashdot Effect?
Really? I thought he was just a ball player.
And a lot of Canadians too, sadly.
Corny show begets corny jokes. Sigh.
In other news, dyslexic engineers are wondering how they'll survive without Angle!
