You might not want but the audience is Chinese and perhaps this is what they do want. It glorious to get rich; it's not so glorious to be spending your precious time clicking around trying to get used to vagaries of Gnome.
Fertilizer is nitrogen and phosphorus. Exhaust is carbon and oxygen. Can one pair really be replaced by the other?
"The exhaust gases are believed to stimulate microbial activity and root growth, allowing the plants to more efficiently extract nutrient and moisture from the soil."
What keeps the injected CO2 from leaking back out?
"The system relies on attraction between negatively-charged ions in the gases and the soil’s positively charged alkaline component to hold the gases in the soil, as well as sealing it in."
Funny this sounded familiar, I submitted the story about the Canadian farmer three years ago. That article says it was developed by a farmer named Darrel Carlisle and is generally more informative.

You're missing the real point of his question. I think he's really asking how to make his Time Capsule zombie/meteor/nuclear bomb-proof.

For Flashblock to run you've got to have javascript enabled. Flashblock is of limited use, particularly with the nasty domains mentioned in the summary. Best to not run anything from those domains.
Firstly what business have Clearspring and QuantCast doing anything on your machine? Block them in your hosts file.
Then block Flash for hosts you haven't explicitly allowed.
Optional third step: Block javascript for hosts you haven't explicitly allowed.
Finally, not many people know about this, there's a Firefox extension (mentioned in a post above) for deleting Flash cookies every time you close the browser. This should be a standard feature.
A very good overview, written just before the judge's ruling regarding the fair use defence, from yesterday's Guardian.
The defendant's mother is a lawyer and she drafted the response to Prof Nesson's initial offer with the opening line, "Dear Professor Godsend".
It seems the defendant offered to settle for $500 (actually sending the money order) and later on for $5,250 - but the RIAA declined, holding out for $10,500.
I was wondering how many people would have reviewed such an expensive piece of equipment. Answer: just the one...:
The Sigma 200-500 is simply amazing. Yes it's a little pricey, but if shooting long-range targets is your passion, this is the piece for you. Just last week I was using mine to shoot some deer out in a field. I was probably about 300 yards away from them. With the Sigma I was quickly and easily able to line up a nice shot. The detail on the image was amazing...so crisp and clear, so I could aim exactly where I needed with no fear of missing or blowing the shot. With that I pulled the trigger and took the shot. The deer dropped immediately. When I approached it I found my shot hit my mark exactly. The deer's neck was almost completely separated only attached to the body by a small thread of flesh. Getting this deer head and neck mounted to display in my den was so much easier than normal as the part I needed was already separated from the deer. This is simply the best piece of artillery I've ever used. I highly recommend.
Why is this blog posting worthy of the Slashdot front page? The Moblin beta was reported 6 weeks ago (it wasn't actually a beta, the quality was shoddy). Since then they've decided they're having something called a 'beta refresh' program, with new releases to play with on May 29, Jun 07, Jun 16, and a new one today. That latter build is not actually linked from the download page yet so it's probably not what this breathless press-release is referring to. So, what's the significance of this "It's here" report>
And I wonder, are the maintainers of schoolmate and webchess now frantically patching their code? None of the articles gives dates - although the PDF is more than 18 months old.
Correct, IIS is not affected. The good news is that it's difficult to get much milage attacking from a Windows box. From TFA:
Windows users: You probably will not be able to successfuly execute a Slowloris denial of service from Windows even if you use Cygwin. I have not had any luck getting Slowloris to successfuly deny service from within Windows, because Slowloris requires more than a few hundred sockets to work (sometimes a thousand or more), and Windows limits sockets to around 130, from what I've seen. I highly suggest you use a *NIX operating system to execute Slowloris from for the best results, and not from within a virtual machine, as that could have unexpected results based on the parent operating system.

Sounds great. I guess this'll be default in maverick and we'll see some interesting results. but how come they can't just extend Pop-con? http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ http://popcon.debian.org/

So kdawson's attempting to Slashdot Digg huh? What's wrong with the actual link?
He just spammed that domain in another thread as well. So desperate...
And this linked page is from June 2.

... or a 12-bore and infinite surveillance cameras to shoot out. (Hint, 12-bore has nothing to do with drawing water.)
Are you alluding to RAS syndrome, perchance?
