Two drunks are walking along. One drunk says to the other, "What a beautiful night, look at the moon." The other drunk stops and looks at his drunk friend. "You're wrong, that's not the moon, that's the sun." They began to argue when they come upon another drunk. They asked, "Sir, could you please help settle our argument? Tell us what that thing is up in the sky that's shining. Is it the moon or the sun?" The third drunk looked at the sky and said, "Sorry, I don't live around here."
Wanna know why there's no decent local stations any more? Go ask the FCC why they still aren't giving out Low Power FM Licences (or why many stations arean't applying for them), and why they are harassing the so called "Pirate" community radio LPFM groups with legal threats and the confiscation of equipment. For more info:
I love conspiracy theories as much as anyone, but that can be a dangerous route to go, as it is real easy for a situation to be called a "conspiracy theory" and thus trivialized.
It could even (possibly more likely) be more a matter of politics. Perhaps they are running a lot of m$ and whoever made the decision to run that software took the article personally?
Or maybe someone's afraid of scaring away sponsors, customers, etc?
The sad thing is that this sends a (often repeated) message that dissent in the bussiness community (indeed in other communities as well - higher ed [firstamendmentcenter.org], for example isn't as safe as it used to be).

Slashdot Mirror
check out the rest of his site - he has some amazing pictures of tornados and lighting storms as well.
Yes, definitely some impressive stuff. I must say, however, that the banner on the home page is making me extremely instable...
Wired had an article the other day regarding the environmental impacts of another desalination plant, this one in Arizona.
... Where it clearly states:
Do not taunt happy fun ball.

Crappy journalism on Slashdot's part.
You must be new here.... ;)

My favorite is Law IX: "Everything falls faster than an anvil."
Enjoy...
So does that mean I won't be able to patent my /. UID after all?
Hello, Batman...
A couple gallons last you a whole weekend?

Free Radio Network
Interestingly enough, here's a geeky footnote of sorts: free radio linux
since my town isn't in one of the "Top 100" markets or some such nonsense, I won't have number portability for another six months or so...

Perhaps a re-charge would fit in to the plan somewhere?
Maybe instead of the glass of OJ after cryogenic fuge, a fresh infusion/replacement of synthetic blood would do the trick?
"...techies around the world would have posters of Torvalds on their walls."
Is this something we should expect to see at ThinkGeek in the near future? Or perhaps a deck of cards with faces of the Techno-Famous on them?
