I dont think 1 story can lay claim to "aliens attacking earth". I think thats a little too generic.
Communism is good for something

China Goes Nuclear
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
At least in China dumb people can't bitch about how dangerous nuclear energy is. I'm not saying communism is good, but in this case it is. Plus i'm sure oil lobbyists would play a role in the US, not so in China (I think).
Integrating IE with windows. Ofcourse buisnesses are going to do this, and why shouldn't they ? It's not good for the consumer, but then again they are out to make money, not win friends.
then wouldn't there be enough science there to study until the end of the rover's life? They spent what seemed like a very long time just on that one small crater where the rover landed in. Granted, a lot of the initial time was used for calibration, systems tests, etc, but they spent a lot of time there. If this crater is the size of a stadium, I think it is safe to say that it will last them until the end of the rovers lifespan.
Well now that I think about it, I'm sure that one day a jewish graduate from MIT will figure out how to upload a virus onto an Alien mother ship's computer system and save earth. That doesn't sound so far fetched after all.
Doesn't the secret service deal strictly with the president himself ? Could this mean that there is some sort of connection between the President and these tunnels ? Is this standard policy for the secret service to visit domestic terrorist threats ? It seems kind of strange to me.
I'v seen floats at my city (5000 people) parade look better then these pieces of crap. This event seems more like something people go to to get out of the house. Very socially disadvantaged people.
What my professors have been telling me is that majoring in computer science isn't necessarily designed to teach you everything there is to know about computers, but how to think. Math does this as well. By taking math courses you not only learn math, but you learn how to deal with problem solving, and different approaches to problem solving which can be applied to many different things. Math also teaches you to be extremely precise and concise. This can also carry over to many other things as well.
It's a whole thought process you're developing in CS. You should be able to look at something you have never seen before and be able to understand it faster and more completely.
If you are passionate about working in the IT sector, and you are very well educated, then chances are you will be able to find a decent job at some level in North America. I don't think it will get to the level of something like Nike running shoes where everything is done over-seas.
I think we have a double standard here. Yeah we can outsource production jobs to Mexico and Asia in order to get cheap shoes and clothes. Nobody bitches about that. But all of a sudden when higher education jobs are taken away, we consider it a national crisis. The farming and manufacturing sectors have shrunk drastically over the past 50 years, thats not a national crisis. This is simply a result of change, something the United States tech workers are having a hard time dealing with. So either stop bitching, or do something about policy. These people have business's to run, they aren't philanthropists. Would you rather have a couple jobs at you're local tech firm, or no jobs because they went out of business.
Somebody who doesnt apologize for using a pun. Why the hell do people do that ? I think it's quite clever to use a pun. Anyhow, have fun modding this post down.
In my opinion, it is services like kazaa that are perpetuating this problem. The kazaa organization as well as other "commercial" gnutella services should be implementing filters and such. Don't bust the kid who put up his stupid little website, bust the big boys.
Every advancement in technology has to hit a limit at some point. I don't see how this could be any bit of a suprise if thats what the article is trying to insinuate. Speed of light, eventual size of microprocessors, width of fibres, strength of metals etc... There is no infinitely 'advanceable' technology which should be obvious. Technology has come a long way in the past 100 years as well, the limits we discover will only continue to be found quickly.
Is that really a threat ? Does Rob Glaser really think Microsoft would ally with Real networks ? I could see Microsoft maybe buying them out, but has Microsoft ever allied with direct competition ? It seems like more of an empty threat to me.
It seems like a new storage standard comes out every week, unless something sets this apart from zip drives, usb flash hd's, mem sticks, a billion other things, I don't see it gaining much market share. Something will come out in the next six months to eclipse this, well before it gains substantial market share.
I recently submitted a story to contribute to Slashdot which they so harshly rejected. As reported by ABC News The Bush campaign is handing out pre-produced news spots for local news stations to broadcast. They give the appearance of real news segments. Of course the stations have the right to air them or not but don't you think that this is taking it a little to far? I guess however they just followed procedure by refering to their favourite reference book. Did I mention that your tax paying dollars are going towards these ?

Time Warner got fucked

This has probably already been mentioned in a previous post, but why wouldn't these people just send off trojans do increase traffic.

If they miss the pun, thats their fault. Nobody tells someone what the punch line in a joke means.

yeah but thats not really that funny
such as ?
better start saving.

I for one would like a many choices thankyou.
But it was a "Real" story, and a scary one I might add.
