Today Google is an operating system layer. Tomorrow they're a utility, like gas and electricity. Next week they're a small government. Next month they take over the world. Maybe also the galaxy.
If Slashdot ran an article about possibly exploding Athlon processors, would you say "what's the problem, no one's forcing your to buy an Athlon. If you don't trust it, don't use it"?
Without 3rd party reviews, how can we easily know whether to trust something in the first place? (I don't consider it easy to read 50 pages of fine print, or to lab-test the processors that I buy.)
If SCO asks 5000 companies to make a deal, and each has a 1/1000 probability of accepting (because they rush their decisions or don't know much), you still expect a handful to accept.
EV1Servers.net's CEO should have wondered why all the 4999 other companies aren't making a deal. I guess there's a 1/1000 chance this questioning wouldn't occur to them.
Are you new here? Slashdot is pro-free-software, anti-proprietary-software. So this is quite the opposite: "actually can win" is the right subject for your post.
they immediately start uploading that piece to other users
Hmm, that would be "immediately start sending that piece to other users". "upload/download" are terms reserved for an asymmetric situation. How can the NYT get this wrong?

Do they pronounce it 10-11?
Are we talking about Trinity?
Better avoid a frequency of exactly 5*Pi.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int lat, lon;
for (lat = -90; lat <= 90; lat++)
for (lon = -180; lon <= 179; lon++)
printf("prediction: lat=%d +/- 0.5, lon=%d +/- 0.5\n", lat, lon);
}
It's businessweek. Business people like to force a useless migration to something different every once in a while.
2^(odd number)+1
= (-1)^(odd number)+1 [mod 3]
= -1 + 1 [mod 3]
= 0 [mod 3]
Actually the last 9 digits are 733969407, as this simple C program will show you:
// minus 1
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i;
int p = 1;
int m = 1000000000;
for (i = 0; i < 24036583; i++)
p = p*2 % m;
p = (p+m-1) % m;
printf("%d\n", p);
}
The companies introduced a combined solution that integrates Cisco switches and IBM blade servers into one unit.
Cisco, IBM... and Crazy Glue to make the two parts hold together.
A pair of Arizona attorneys sent the spam 10 years ago each, for a total of 20 years ago.
Easy way to make cash if you're Cowboy Neal:
- Write a book titled "Stephenson".
- The book cover should say in big letters:
Cowboy
Neal
Stephenson
- Cash in on people who think this is "Cowboy" from Neal Stephenson.

0.8 cycles/sec? Never heard of that frequency band before.
20 years of effort and it's still not working. Time to get drunk. [after a few bottles] heeey woooody, you wanty some sake tooooo?
It's not a problem, it's information.

Imagine viral agents/bacteria that evolved to be nanobots with titanium drills. How is your immune system going to protect you from that?

...send me your old beige cases. As a tech-loving geek, I want to build a house with them. Sweet looking, in a selection of different brands.
Would have been great if they had included probes such as Voyager 1.
A 1:15million scale model of the ~4m-wide Voyager 1 probe would measure ~250 nanometers.
Also the BBC says:
The scale of 1 to 15 million reduces the distance between the Earth and the Sun to about 16km (10 miles).
150,000,000 km / 15,000,000 = 10 km, not 16 km.
grep -n "int i;" *.c
