How closly are you following the trial: Very closely 5%, somewhat closely 51%, not at all 44%. So in other words we should really only be able to ask opinions about the trial to the people who follow closely, and maby 2/3 of the people who follow it somewhat closely.
Not to even mention the probability that, of those who "closely" or "somewhat closely" follow the trial, the definition of "follow the trial" actually means "accept without question whatever Ted Koppel says about the trial".

Hey, it looks like their editors read/. or else someone pointed out the egregious error of the AltaVista story they had posted, since it isn't up on their site anymore (~12:45pm) and the links to the story no longer work.
As a long time ZDuh watcher, I can tell you that it is quite common for them to simply disappear anything that is remotely embarrassing, and they NEVER acknowledge an error. Remember the 'Jesux' hoax? They don't.

these numbers are accurate. i've seen them published in mainstream popular magazines.
it is incredible what you can learn from the mainstream media. why just the other day, i saw on tv where some guy recovered the mars polar lander after downloading software from zdnet. slashdot has totally ignored the story. go figger.

Some alien chick in France gave birth to a 3000 pound elephant, and he's a Nazi and planning to take over Australia where he's going to signal Martians to come down and kill Jennifer Love Hewitt!!
Some alien chick??? That "alien chick" was actually the illegitimate love child of Elvis and Jackie O. Sheesh. Try to get it right, please.

Microsoft is lucky that the person that found the bug was a reputable person and not someone who would have used it maliciously.
No, Microsoft was very unlucky in that regard. Had this shown up in the hands of script kiddies MS would have issued forth a reeking stream of FUD about 'malicious hackers', which would have been quickly taken up by the 'tech news' media like ZDuhNET, and another million or so of the clueless would shake thier heads and resolve to write thier legislators that something must be done about "evil hackers" so that the internet can be made safe for business-, er, Microsoft.

People like Rep. Jean McGrath don't want ANYONE looking at porn sites, having sex before marriage (or whatever justification behind coed visitation restrictions), etc. These people want to enforce their belief system and their ideas on everyone.
Did you check out her picture? People like Rep. Jean McGrath don't want ANYONE looking at porn sites, because nobody ever wanted to look at Rep. Jean McGrath naked. People like Rep. Jean McGrath don't want people having premarital sex because nobody wanted to have sex with Rep. Jean McGrath. Hell, people like Rep. Jean McGrath would just as soon nobody had genitals, because nobody ever showed an interest in hers. It's a jealousy thing. Revenge of the Undesirable. If she hadn't gone into politics, she'd likely be a girls gym teacher.

AOL Acquires Time-Warner In Largest-Ever Expenditure Of Pretend Internet Money
DULLES, VA--In the largest merger of imaginary assets in corporate history, Internet giant America Online last week acquired media megacorp Time-Warner for an unprecedented $161 billion in pretend money. "This merger will revolutionize the way invisible amounts of non-existent cash are transferred," said Steve Case of AOL, a company whose actual revenues are a tiny fraction of its make-believe valuation. In an effort to keep pace with AOL, website blairwitchproject.com is expected to acquire General Motors sometime later this week.

Gasp in awe as you watch Jack Straw, Home Secretary of the UK (ie, important government chap), find himself liable for two years imprisonment (if this law was to pass) because someone sent him an encrypted message that he can't decrypt.
[an american sighs] Why is all the really useful legislation overseas? There are more than a few politicians I would rather gleefully remove via such a practical ordinance!

It never fails fry my brain when I hear the indignation expressed by the technically clueless in response to tabloid -esque puffery like this. These are the same people who, after thier meal at Olive Garden, think nothing of handing thier card to an unknown person who disappears with it for five minutes. The same people who think nothing of pulling out thier cards and receiving cash at an ATM in a dark, empty parking lot at night. The same people who never even perceive the strangers jammed into the supermarket checkout lane behind them as they whip out thier card and pay for groceries.
These people seem think that the idea that some 'evil haxor' may come along seeking your card number successfully is somehow more repugnant than knowing that management at Best Buy has reports listing the zillion or so numbers thier checkout computers recorded over the holidays just sitting around on desks all day.
Anybody know how many lost Mars probes ZDNet helped recover today...?

The time Bart put the cat and dog through the transporter and it came out with a head on each end. "Hey! Twice the pet, none of the mess!" And the episode where Bart had an evil power that made everything he thought of real. Sitting at the breakfast table he observes "Same old boring cat..." and turns it into an umbrella-tailed-fire breathing hybrid cat-thing. Later the dog and cat-thing are sleeping on the floor and the dogs fur catches fire when the cat-thing snores. And the signs! If you don't read EVERYTHING you are missing a lot! And the puns!

You folks can laugh at MCP all you want. I wouldn't have gotten the job I have now without it.
So big deal. I know an MCP and what he says is "Just shut the fuck up about the product - its what clueless PHB's want, it guarantees you a recurring income stream, and I wouldn't make 90% of my money if I wasn't restarting MS solutions." Then, recapping mentally what he had just said, he broke into laughter.
I'm glad you have your job too. I hope you fucking choke on your money.

The ultimate toilet has leather padded seats, what appears to be broadband, a phone, a fax, and a computer, but where the hell is the TP?
Silly Linux Wonk. The workstation has Micro$oft Asswipe2000 installed. The toilet runs CE. Using DCOM and M$XML-embedded M$HTML documents, it's a fairly trivial thing to implement a thorough wipe cycle. (Oh, and nevermind all the hyperbole about macro viruses - just install SP11b and disable scripting and your testicles are in absolutely no danger whatsoever.)
