It was just the dept staff. Looked like it was hacked through the webmail portal of mopa.gov.sy.
The only thing of note was the exchange re the Barbara Walters visit. The Ministry of Presidential Affairs is basically his marketing department.
Whilst one would hope they busted into this despots email, the truth is they did no such thing.
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have consistently said who their influences have been. Robert Johnson, BB King, Muddy Waters, Elmore James etc etc. They have even credited Middle Eastern and North African influences with their music and created music with them. So far from you saying they have credited no one, they have done more to credit artists that have influenced them than other artists.
So before lambasting musicians that have contributed so much to world music, not just rock music, perhaps you should read up on your facts. All music is copied to some extent. It's how music evolves into new sounds. I could say that Red Hot Chili Peppers stole a lot from Grandmaster Flash, and that they are also plagiarizing, but that wouldn't be right, because they took some of his influence and turned it into something else. Same happened with Led Zeppelin.
Using your theory, these musicians prior to Led Zep are also plagiarizing music from their predecessors, particularly Africa, which is where Blues originated from. I don't see too many of them going back to Africa to thank their influences though with perhaps the exception of Eric Bibb. At least Led Zeppelin have done that.
It's the elitists that make music a horrible experience. You all think it should be stuck back in the land that time forgot instead of letting it evolve into new things.
Yes language evolution has evolved greatly. I for one would love to read Shakespeare with a "bootylicious" thrown in occasionally. Or would have loved to have read about F Scott Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby performing a "crunk" at one of his parties that are populated by "celebutantes".
The investors out there who will be losing money. And I'm not talking the megabucks investors, just the mum and dad investors who have no idea what Linux is and no idea what IP is, but just looked at the stock and thought this may be a good thing. SCO will file, they'll lose all their money. Sure it's great to see a pack of assholes go down, but its a real shitty thing to see them take good people with them.
so you can be the cool Mac dude being all aloof and shit while us weenies use our Windows Mobile Devices? Jeez, havent you learnt anything yet. You have to forsake functionality to be cool! Being cool is what matters, man!
Of course theyw ouldnt give employment to someone who may be proficient with an engine that is outdated. When this thing is sent in to Bioware is there some clause in the terms and conditions where the IP, that users have created for use in this competition, becomes the property of Bioware? Are bioware gonna get all these cool ideas and then rort the poor fools that handed them in not knowing that this was entirely agreed upon cause they didnt bother to read the conditions?
This "new technology" is not so much new. Oil has been used for decades to cool high voltage substations. It is only now able to be applied to new technology such as racks etc.
The interesting thing is not that oil is being used to dissipate heat, but how they managed to get the racks made in such a way that they will still function whilst surrounded by oil.
Are we going to see this being sold to corporates? This could potentially be a money spinner for google if it works well enough.
If corporate HR could ask the questions to suit its own corporate profile, and google allows this technique to be tailor made to suit any corporation, then i don't see why this wouldnt be a success.

the day after be "Foxconn Day"
He also called us racists. But hey, he's gone. Even if it did cost us the hefty side of 10 million
Pauly Shore and his Encino Man will come to the rescue!!
shoooooshhh

null pointers exploiting excited researchers? it all sounds a little goatse to me...
Maybe its just me, and it more than likely is, but i'll be damned if Kevin Rudd isn't a child of the corn come to life...
the site has been /.ed, how could that now have been in his list!

Didnt Sideshow Bob do this once? Perhpas the crew flew cross country to eradicate television. My oh my cartoons have a lot to answer for.

That depends on if said country has a Free Trade Agreement with the US.
Like Australia.

Perhaps you should READ what i wrote. I said i actually liked the design. I just think the application itself is not revolutionary.
Apart fromt he looks, which i will admit, are pretty stunning, my windows mobile device does exactly the same thing the iphone does.
It has wifi, bluetooth, push email, can play music, runs skype, plays movies, takes pictures, and has all other functions i would want from a pda.
Apart from the eye candy, i don't see how this is anything revolutionary.

For anyone who is even remotely interested, Kari Byron in FHM
how this didnt rate a mention is beyond me!
Is it just me or when I think of someone "creaming" it is a female? Males jizz, females cream.
i dont know what type of female you're seeing, but that sounds like an infection.
I cannot believe my Catherine Bell screensaver is not on that list.
It's a travesty i tell you!
