I saw a program on The Science Channel a few months ago about this.
The researchers had been trying to funding for years and were considered crackpots.
I think most of the story was set in Australia.
They may have called the little guys nanodes (or something very similar).
Wait.. So can Vonage customers receive incoming calls or not?
VOIP companies appear to be selling digital PBX services. Isn't that still being a phone company?
They're just replacing some of the POTS lines and phone switches with ethernet, routers, etc.
Quoth Daniel: Supposedly there's an SEC regulation that requires them to go public once they reach a certain profit level. At least, that's their excuse.
"Securities law requires private companies that exceed a certain level of stock distribution to file quarterly financial data with federal regulators....A private company must report its finances once it has more than 500 common shareholders--or stock-option holders--and $10 million in assets, according to section XII(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934."
...stem cell grown parts will only be usefull to the one person whose original cells were used.
That doesn't really hold true.
I read the other day that a woman was discovered to have functioning XY brain cells that had developed out of a bone marrow transplant a decade earlier. So, this discovery not only demonstrated that donated stem cells can be used by another, but also that those donations could cross the blood-brain barrier.
The real issue seems to be one of "time to market."
Or, more correctly, "time of return to market" or "rebranding lapse."
How long has it been since the fall of Napster as a free service? Three years? The average consumer has forgotten the brand by now. No amount of ads or gift cards with the forgotten cat logo at markets and convenience stores will bring it back. That ship has sailed!
In the process of trying to make my code generic, I goofed. The 'embarrassing_image' and 'fake_image' variables should be swapped in their use for the redirect in both the PHP and ASP code.
I thought over those two points myself. I think he was trying to say the following:
Challenger - If the crew had been in a smaller craft on top, an explosion in a lower stage could have been escapable if the smaller craft could separate and land.
Columbia - If the craft that was to be used for re-entry had been on top, it would never have had the risk of freaking insulation (two pounds!? still drives me nuts) falling onto and damaging its heat shielding.
I have a difficult time imagining a person with a strong enough stomach to edit the goatse guy's hands out of the original image to paste them onto something new.
This guy's just stirring things up or he's got the titles and everything totally wrong. The "...Sorceror's/Philosopher's Stone" was the first book and nobody died in it except for one of the would-be villains.
The character mentioned in the grandparent post is the prisoner in _Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban_ (Book 3) and came back with a very big part in _Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire_ (Book 4).
Adobe could not be cool with a long tradition of GNU tools using mangled names of products for their GNU "clones."
Just a few:
Linux ~= Unix - Unix was a mangled name for Multix, btw. gawk ~= awk - There are so many similarly-named command-line utilities that Stallman had a hand in that I don't dare try to list them. I think most of them even kept the names of the original Unix programs with little/no hassle. KOffice ~= M$ Office - This is the suite that KIllustrator/Kugar belongs to. Boy, "office" is a word about as worthy of trademark as "illustrator." Wait, was that Microsoft being tolerant of trademarks!? I think so. Adobe is more viscious that M$? KWord ~= M$ Word - more from KOffice suite. Kivio ~= M$ Visio - KOffice suite again. mrproject ~= M$ Project AbiWord ~= M$ Word KTron ~= Tron (the movie) - KDE group again. Threw this package in there to show that even the MPAA and Disney are tolerant (but not in all cases). Then again, Tron 2.0 is coming up, so maybe attention will come back.
This *must* be in jest.. It sounds cool on the surface, but I really don't think disgruntled high school kids need a simulator to facilitate the planning stages of the public murder-suicide.

What's worse is it spells scam-PC.. Like they're pioneering new and politically correct forms of extortion.
Penthouse and Playboy have both come up in past bets.

Anybody else see this?

Are those leeches!?
I did a quick search and came up with this..
"Securities law requires private companies that exceed a certain level of stock distribution to file quarterly financial data with federal regulators. ...A private company must report its finances once it has more than 500 common shareholders--or stock-option holders--and $10 million in assets, according to section XII(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934."

Yeah.. This looks like it.
You forgot to add another a() on the end after the closing brace so that the defined function will actually run.
:)
Running precludes looping.
I've checked McAfee, Symantec, Sophos, and F-Secure.
F-Secure (an 'expert' in the article) has no listing for Phatbot.

Just about the only thing left out of this story is Opera. Bork!
It's a good thing the Be File System created for the BeOS supports 32 petabytes!
From the header:
Apache/1.3.27 (Unix)
forgot to hit the anonymous checkbox again while making a callous comment.
Ah well.

I'll be really interesting to see what they can find out. This is the first time I've heard of gravity "waves" outside of Star Trek.
What, with a name like " maybe -us" and all.

There's gotta be. Niether the laboratories nor the schools are demonstrating active security consciousness.
It's that or the reporters in the area are the nosiest SOBs around.

Just stirring crap up.
If that's the case, then dark screensavers would not actually help as I previously thought.

seriously.
