According to the stuff article, the meteorite could be worth $10,000. That would be one expensive conversation piece. I'd sell it if I had an offer like that, without hesitation.
Surely, as slashdot puts it, Comments are owned by the Poster.
If you knowingly left a link to a child porn site on your own blog up, you might get into legal hot water, though the authorities have their hands full catching the people who operate such sites.
No, 9/11 was pure evil, some unwanted comments on a blog is an annoyance. If you have a website that allows anyone to post comments, you will get some you don't like. That's life.
It's not the amount of PhDs but the amount of PHBs

Google's Ph.D. Advantage

· Score: 5, Insightful
I think one of the reasons behind Google's success isn't just the sheer number of PhDs they have. Its the PhD's having the power, rather than the PHBs (pointy-haired bosses). It's one thing to be working with intelligent, science-oriented people. It's better to be working for intelligent, science-oriented people.
Anyone can hire PhDs. Even the government. But there may be a corporate culture that doesn't take risks, that cares too much about short-term profit, that is affected by political considerations. In Google, the nerds seem to run the show. They have the business people, and great branding. But the technical side of things is the priority.
The article doesn't actually say Google has as many PhD's as Microsoft, only that Google has recruited as many PhDs from Washington University as Microsoft has.
There are different types of awards. Merit awards are quarterly, Special and Grand Master awards are handed out annually. The Grand Master award gives you $10,000.
....that doesn't have people shagging in it? stolen copies are the cause of most illegal distribution. Of course, by talking about camcorder "pirates" the studios can convince people that "pirated" copies are always grainy and full of background noise, rather than the near-DVD quality you can download via bittorrent.
I thought the article was going to be about actual pirates. It conjures up images of a sailor sitting in the Crow's Nest holding up an old brass telescope to his night vision goggles.
Of course, there are still pirates on the seas today, and maybe people do use night vision technology to spot them, although radar's good, too.
Alternatively, you could use Aeroplanes, and paratroopers.
That's why the Battle of Britain was so important. The battle for the Atlantic was more about keeping Britain from getting supplies from Canada and the U.S.
It wouldn't be carbon negative as the leftover biomass, whether it is discarded or used for fertiliser, would decay, giving off carbon dioxide. So, it is carbon neutral, giving up the CO2 it sucks out of the air.
It always works for me, too, in both Firefox and Bloatzilla. In fact, unlike Opera, there doesn't seem to be a way to make a middle button click on a link do anything else, from the Options menu (Preferences in Opera).

You have to take into account the effort required in getting people to Mars, the health risks, the effort required to get them back (not an issue for robots unless they are returning samples), the technology required to keep them alive, and other factors. Using robots for the real work seems like the best solution.

There will be some people landing on Mars, for reasons of prestige. Putting people on Mars will be a histroic achievement, but I think it will be robots that actually get stuff done. Let the astronanuts plant flags, the robots will continue to do most of the research.
Finally, Friedberg cautions Internet users to pay extra attention to offers of free software. "Be suspicious," he said. "When something's free, there's likely a catch."
Hmm, the Microsoft guy had to get that one in. Now we'll have people afraid to download Mozilla because they have read free software (if they don't know the difference between software that is free to download and Free Software) usually has a catch.
Surely better advice would be to read the licence agreement.
It's Fedora based, according to their website. The latest version mentioned in the Google cache is called Ignalum Linux 9, (presumably based on Red Hat 9?), with a Fedora-based version mentioned as being available in late May.
Didn't Lindows (as they were known then) try to do this then fail miserably? It's not as if this is the first distro to try running Microsoft applications. And what happens when the next version of Office, designed specifically not to work on wine, comes out?

Not Carbon dating, that only works for organisms that were once alive. Radiometric dating would be a better method
How does the meteorite coming through the roof of a suburban home add to its value?It happens very rarely
Where is the -1 pun mod?

Perhaps slashdot needs a -1 Didn't RTFA mod.

Perhaps the place in Oregon he went to is less well-known than L.A. Which applies to everywhere in Oregon.

If a company rips off public bodies, and people blame the government, companies will continue to get away with it.

Perhaps they mean two-thirds of the population. Which in a small country could live in only a few towns and cities.
