That's an interesting point.
In a slightly less paranoid, yet still negative vein, you have the issue of glamorizing bad behavior as an encouragement, not a deterrent.
You don't study control systems engineering very long before you come across the truth that this sort of feedback can be a Very Bad Thing...
ZATAOMM was an interesting, yet ultimately dissatisfying, attempt to approach the Christian doctrine of the Holy Spirit through intellectual means.
In Christian Russia, the Truth finds YOU!!!
Why is this a troll?
Peer review is the classical form of moderation.
Now, saying that 50% of academic research, itself, constitutes an aggregate troll could be so close to truth as to be labelled -1 Flamebait, but who konws?
-1 Offtopic, yet still Sutff that Matters
(because, now and then, you gotta say "Yea, verily, my dogma pisseth on the fsckin' karma".)
Yeah, Neil at least owns rock. Possibly there are some jazz daddys about who could make Neil sweat.
For overall artistic capacity, though, he's ahead of the competition. His lyrics mean more than the usual sex, rock, sex, cars, sex, drugs, and sex that cheapen heterosexual love and render the competition so banal.
Vapor Trails is a full-on desert island disc, and all your base are belong to Rush's back catalogue. I hope that the DVD due out this Fall has copious footage of Niel on the title track; that rythm sounds as if it would have bonus value as an aerobic workout video.
Oh, yeah: and how about a wee disc with the four parts of "Fear" played sequentially?
Neil is as good with the pen as the sticks. The Masked Rider is an excellent travelogue, regardless of whether you read such frequently.
In summary, God bless Peart. Everyone else can go to the 'computerized clinic for superior cynics, who dance to a synthetic band' if they are too intellectually dishonest to say he's all that.
Furthermore, I think Rush forms the basis for the Dream Band. I'd add Joe Satriani on lead guitar (I shudder to think what he and Lifeson might concoct) and I have no idea who for a lead singer...how about the two chicks from ABBA? Lemmy? Ah, I know, Geoff Tate of Queensryche.
Tool is pretty groovy, though relatively primative compared with the Toronto Power Trio.
Why 'flamebait' for the parent post?
GeoCaching is yet another obvious thing to do with GPS and IP networks.
As far as NFN, STM goes, this article leans towards the advertising side, but GeoCaching is clearly a harbinger of entertainment to come.
Imagine when the Society of Creative Anachronism, Networked (SCAN) hosts a GeoCached hunt for a legendary creature, and things go totally wrong as a result of a network intrusion:

Since I wouldn't get an Ask Slashdot...
Are there any Win32 databases that can be used in place of MS Access?
I'm looking for a single-file application that is fairly SQL-92 compliant.
Doing small web-enabled db projects, you quickly locate the limits of the Jet4.0 provider...
Sure, Cygwin/PostgreSQL/ODBC, but it would be nice to have a little less installation overhead...
The currency is run through a machine that sends it data. Bluetooth?
I like the "let's not think this through" approach of the article:
"The main objective is to determine the authenticity of money and to stop counterfeits," Frost and Sullivan analyst Prianka Chopra said in a report published in March.
While anonymity clearly opens doors to illegality, is it really a bug? What about the features of POD money?
Yes, you're going to get tracking data on all manner of 'shadow' transactions...or are you?
How long until some wiseguy starts planting bogus information for meta-illegal purposes?
Now I can accuse you of something, don't even have to prove it, just have to put enough mud in the water through some judicious mis-information to call your reputation into question. Consider the ugliness of credit reports, multiplied.
Stuff like this brings out the dystopian in me.
Coupled with a desire to do the hard stuff.
I'm the only idiot I know to break down a Highland Bagpipe, ascend Fuji, and play a few tunes well above the treeline.

Al Greenspan has loosened interest rates about as much as he can.

Depends on the amount of shit that gets on the warranty at fan-exit time.

Well now, there is some solid information upon which we should all act.
No, something to handle queries without running a server.
