The service is so popular, it sucks up almost all the available bandwidth from the government-run ISP, State Company for Internet Services (site is Arabic)."
State Company for Internet Services = uruklink.net?? Arabic? sounds like the Black Speech, those orcs are wired!
Here's a photo of Mars, the elliptical bright feature at lower-center in the image is the Hellas Basin, the largest unequivocal impact basin (formed by an asteroid or comet) on the planet. Hellas is approximately 2200 km (1,370 mi) across.
Really amazing detail, photo was taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, check out many more of its pics here.

If you dont want strangers to see your images then the internet is a pretty stupid place to keep them.:)
penny arcade have one of the funniest cartoons they have ever done on linux on xbox, here, check it out its hilarious!

dont these guys annoy the hell out of you? dont the realise muffled bass outside the car sounds terrible as the car panels viberate, making them seem like idiots?
over here in New Zealand our ex All Black rugby star Jonah Lomu is a huge fan and enters his car into the yearly competitions, he has clocked up 160db, so he must be the worlds most famous db drag racer! Go Jonah - get well soon -although somehow i doubt you read slashdot~;0
3.5G?? 40 x as fast??? bwahhahaha! The global auctions of 3G spectrum netted billions worldwide, crippling Telco's, and we still have yet to see this technology (except in Japan) because the costs to the consumer are massive. Yet forget all that, whens 3.5G coming out?
SGI could easily compete in the post dot bomb economy in new area's that complement it's high end graphics systems.. gaming is the child of SGI (and others) excellent work, an industry meant to be worth much much more than the cd sales market...
Not saying they should make consoles, but imagine! your P4 4.01ghz playing HalfLife 3, with an SGI video card...mmmmm!
true, but the films are dynamic productions, people have just finished filming scenes requiring people with a nordic look, weta's pumping fx like some MASSIVEly amped beowulf supercluster, and the costume of Legolas and Gimli were strangley absent at the rings exhibition...
so yeah we know what it will look like...like something your grandkids look up on google when they type in: who's won the most oscars ever:)
can i play a balrog?
seriously though, me and millions more can't play until the ISP's drop prices for broadband. Over here in New Zealand we have to pay premium price's which are aimed at business clients not home users...supply and demand guys! drop prices and watch as the LoTR servers start getting a real workout!
Sigh. mention New Zealand, out come the sheep jokes. Nevermind Australia now actually has MORE sheep per head than NZ. Anyway, we export all the 'used' sheep, kiwi lamb tastes gooood!!!
But you CAN claim proprietary rights to a noun such as your name, in this case: google. Still, its a bit silly to try and turn back the clock, using 'google' as a verb is surely free marketing for an already highly successful business. Oh to have MY companies name used as verb!!
because children are naturally anti-authority. Microsoft is like Cocacola company, Mcdonalds and every other mega corp, and its values are diametrically opposed to the new (next) generation. Witness the global protests against war last week and you have a glimpse of the world in ten years. Strong anti capitalistic sentiments are being expressed worldwide, and while Microsoft make inroads into government contracts they are losing out on the battle for hearts and minds of the people. The front lines are the schools, and if schools no longer have Microsoft O/S then children won't be fooled into thinking MCSE is a viable education.
Hmm. I dont think Lars Ulrich, drummer of Metallica could afford his luxury mansion on that income, which makes me think: marketing. Big bands, and little famous underground bands rely a LOT on marketing their expensive knick-knacks to fans for the bread and butter income. T-shirt sales are the reason bands can afford to tour.
Space Exploration...is dangerous!

All the astronauts knew what they did could cost them their lives. They knew that and trusted the NASA system to do everything possible to keep them safe...but ultimately their fate is in God's hands.
Whether foam caused the catastrophe or something else did, no power on earth was able to save these astronauts once they left the ground. They could not have dropped by the space station and waited for rescue, no docking bay was attached to the shuttle. I cannot see how obfuscation of the facts will help NASA, they want to know what happened so that it doesnt happen again. By downplaying the significance of the foam, which seems the obvious cause to us armchair space directors, they are allowing for all options to be given equal weight in the search for the truth.
From the review of the sj33 The SJ33 uses standard memory sticks although the device doesn't come with one. With the focus on music playback, Sony might want to consider bundling offers because users are definitely going to need one.
wrong. When no one has any mp3's to save, there is no need for huge amounts of memory. Music playback will be limited to Sony's DRM, dog-robot music. All your mp3 are belong to us.
What makes this new era so exciting is that there are many programs using different techniques that produce distinct styles. Deep Junior is as different from Deep Fritz as Kasparov is from Karpov.
Or as different as Deep Blue and a chess playing Wookie. "Let the wookie win!"
wired recently ran an article on this. One key quote is ""Technically it's feasible," said Robert Cassanova, director of the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts. "
a little further on the cost benefits are addressed, "a space elevator could transport materials into the cosmos for about $100 a kilogram. He estimated that sending materials on a shuttle costs $10,000 to $40,000 per kilogram. "
How would the structure stand up to the ravages of time? Has anyone modelled a nano structure to see what the effects of entropy are?
Intellectual Property can be expanded to include *anything*, and gain the protections of IP. However this needs to be balanced against education...I dont want my math teacher suing my for use of knowledge I gleaned from extra class activities.
The effect on Slammer is still being felt through routers being compromised, and its weeks later. A serious router exploit could cause some major roadblocks on the information superhighway.
Where does this leave raliens cloned human children? Those kids cloned in the states will be pretty smart by the time they are 13, maybe smart enough to realise they might be dead by 21, horribly aged and wrinkled before the hormones kick in, but smart enough to sue the pants off their "parents" for the paltry life given them. the Irony.
