  1. extreme interference with on Giant Squid Caught Near Japan · · Score: 1
    that extreme interference with what you are studying could even produce useful results

    then why dissect frogs? I'd say that qualifies as extreme interference with what you are studying...

  2. Re:Value of advertising-indeed on In Game Ads May Just Not Work · · Score: 1

    I've seen couple of dozen ads for PS3 and WII lately. (last two weeks)

    all things considered, has this paid for advertising garnered them a single sale? will it?

    supply & demand are tied right now- and I believe they would be without the advertising..

    Until there is one sitting on a shelf unwanted, why pay for airtime?

    talk about wasting advertising dollars.

  5. op is half right on MS Fights Gmail With 2-GB Exchange Mailboxes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Overall, things are more clear-cut for financial services firms, especially when it comes to individual brokers' and dealers' e-mails and IMs. Per NASD Conduct Rule 3010, financial firms must archive them. Then according to SEC Rule 17a, financial firms must keep all business records--which the NYSE defines as including e-mails and IMs--readily accessible for at least two years, and all transaction-related communications for seven years. Organizations must also produce such communications quickly as part of a court-ordered discovery process.

    and more
    In particular, the law "says that any client of a public accounting firm may be required to produce documents related to audits or investigations," notes Rugullies. In the future, "it is conceivable that these items could include e-mails and IMs."

  6. and in little pieces, they will consume bandwidth on Copyright Tool Scans Web For Violations · · Score: 1

    roughly equal to the entire volume of the publically available internet..

    think about it, to do what they say, they have to request ALL the data they can lay their hands on,
    and then chuck it.. and for comparative purposes, they'll have to do it again.

    so Sony hires 'jfm copyright trackers'
    and microsoft hires 'sco copyright trackers'
    and mgm hires yo momma

    and each of these 'ip owners' representatives have to scour the entire net, bit by byte by megabyte, for their clients.

    holy crap! think about the potential for bandwidth abuse- it's a corporate ddos- upping bandwidth bills for everyone
    who pays for use...

    as to the asswipes who suggest they 'use google' think about that- how much luck do you expect they'll have hitting google for their entire cache.... (and google pays for bandwidth too)

  9. If it's worth it to you, it's really not that hard on FAA Releases Requirements for Space Tourism · · Score: 1

    200k is not that impossible an amount to amass.. if you REALLY want it to be the only bit of tourism you ever do.

    I could- if I pared my life down to the BONE, set aside 30-40k a year right now...

    I'd have it then, in 5-6ears.. my kids would not go to college, and I'd miss things like tv and chocolate...
    but it's not beyond most of the slashdot demographics I'll wager- if thats ALL you want...

  10. national security terrorists.... on FCC Won't Release Cell Carrier Reliability Data · · Score: 2, Insightful
