I submit we go back to fiefdoms. You can all be my lowly Farmville peasants and don't even consider taking any of my internet potatoes so you can "feed your family", non-mouse using hand!
Agreed. There were some true gems in this there though:
1) This guy is the 29th ranked Facebook user. - WTF does that mean? 60% of the time he works every time.
2) Zynga is worth $12 billion. - Maybe in Zimbabwean dollars.
3) "Rutkowski asked Schmidt what Google was doing with “Web 3.0” and Schmidt replied Web 2.0 was just a marketing term and that he was “the inventor” of Web 3.0." - I'm pretty sure he got trolled by Schmidt.
Taking a quick peek at the Founder Institute's web page it looks like the type of business Tom Cruise was running in Magnolia. This is getting filed in my "Check these asshats predictions!" folder to be opened in 2015.
Do you worry the Australian government will use that leverage to control the Internet more than they already do? I remember there being stories about them blocking a lot of websites and wanting to censor various things. Perhaps, having good access with good crypto with Tor or other routing mechanisms will outweigh any pestering they try to do.
Who would run/administer the actual network?

Nice to see FARS News is taking some cues from the highest form of American journalism. I always knew that deep down they were jealous and wanted to be just like us. Kudos to you FARS News!
In the Youtube video posted above the colonel does not mention stealth as an inherent feature of the aircraft. He did, however, mention its jamming capability. He also said the jammer is effective against "legacy" US radar.
Your co-workers can definitely help out with this one. You know those tricks that people use to figure their stage/porn name, take your middle name and the street you grew up on, combine it, and voila, instant new name! Go to each workstation and do that with the person that is sitting there, instant workstation name!
It seems the ban applies to the press (ie. the media) that are covering the game. Those people actually are entering into a legally binding contract when they enter the stadium and begin covering the game. Much needed clarification is given by a Nashville Is Talking article with updates, their producer did what Slashdot should have done about 7 hours ago and actually read the f'in policy. Here is the actual Southeastern Conference Media Credentials EULA thinger.
Well, I guess it would be a 'use tax' evasion. The number of entities who do make proper declarations is higher than you might think when consider B2B transactions. This is from a research paper I wrote last semester: "Though, business-to-business compliance is estimated to be much higher (Bruce & Fox, 2009). Estimated losses of revenue at the national scale as a result of non-compliance in 2007 are $7.2 billion. Losses are expected to grow by 36.3% to $11.3 billion by 2012 (Bruce & Fox, 2009). "
There are certainly a lot of factors at work. That said, are there YouTube versions in some of the developing third world or second world countries? I agree that limiting the distribution to subset of countries definitely opens the door for local video sites. Or what about YouTube or Veoh actually expanding to serve the other markets that way the ad model could be better adjusted to serve the local market?
Someone posted on Slashdot last week with a good idea. Instead of changing their phone number every now & then, they just bought a cheap pre-paid phone and some minutes. Between that and using a fake phone number (where appropriate) you would probably be in pretty good shape.
On the plus side:
1) maybe more labels and artists will spring up that won't hamper their fans with such limitations or threaten them with lawsuits.
2) secure p2p would be sweet
3) ???
4) Profit???! (maybe for proxy operators)
If these sites had tiny embedded flash objects whose sole purpose was to test for successful loading or not you would be able to get a ton more stats that any survey. How much do you think they could charge for data like this?
Contractors basically bid on any contract they can. Then hire the expertise needed to complete that contract during/after the bidding. Many of the big name contractors do A LOT more than their traditional public image leads many to believe.
Also, would it have really made a difference if the website was.gov or.com? The government, in general, doesn't have the desire to produce and maintain a site like that in-house.
Ok, so these reports are available for purchase here. We should not have to purchase them, obviously. Also, it looks the the US-Italian embassy is leaking the crap out of them. z0mg!
You may want to check out the I Hack Charities project. It was started by Johnny Long (the No Tech Hacking talk/book). Money was raised for an organization in Kenya and the Columbia Area Linux Users Group is looking to help out by donating some servers and getting some donated rack space/bandwidth to help out.

Damnit, need to actually use the preview button. Should have been "I'll have your non-mouse using hand!"

Remember when you first tried to ride a bike and your dad pushed you so hard that you fell over and skinned your knees and bloodied your nose?
At least you live up to your name...

Agreed. I would suggest the GP get penetrated by Flash as soon as possible. Desktop Tower Defense is appropriate for most situations! :)

I feel like a I just got Rick-rolled trying to use that damn Flash app.
