i don't think the case of the frys.com domain name agrees with you here. from wikipedia:
"The URL "www.frys.com" was owned in 1997 by David Peter, who manufactured and sold french-fry vending machines under the business name Frenchy Frys. Fry's Electronics brought suit against him that year, alleging trademark infringement, and ultimately prevailed in a default judgement."
he registered it first. it was a generic term. he was actively using it, not cybersquatting. there was no chance of confusion with the electronics retailer. fry's electronics still took it from him via the courts.
i use kitchen scissors, which are for cutting items during food prep, like small chick bones.
they are very stiff, and do not have a sharp pointed tip to damage the item you are trying to extract. also, if you do use them on food, they come apart for cleaning. very nice.
the part that looks like a blade is actually the bucket (well, buckets).
from wikipedia: "The excavation component itself is a large rotating wheel mounted on an arm or boom. On the outer edge of the wheel is a series of scoops or buckets. As the wheel turns, the buckets remove soil or rock from the target area and carry it around to the backside of the wheel, where it falls onto a conveyor, which carries it up the arm toward the main body of the excavator."
I read it like a bad rendition of "Who's On First?":
"Doctor Who makes Guinness Book of World Records!" "Which doctor?" "No! Not a witch doctor! Doctor Who!" "That's what i wanted to know! Which doctor?" "I already answered that!"
We're talking here same number that can go with me almost everywhere.
holy crap, you mean i can have the same number "almost everywhere"! damn, i am so going to chuck my cell phone and its multiplicity of phone numbers! i am just so tired of having to use a different number at each cell tower i access...
"These insecure tools, when combined with the power of a search engine and index which Google provides, results in a convenient attack vector for malicious users."
how is your crappy site being indexed by google the fault of "insecure tools"? you have stuff to hide? don't put it where google can get it!
the only insecure "tool" is the site designer who exposes his own data...
Slashdot Mirror
The description of the new building reminds me very much of the Panopticon:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon
From the Wiki article: "The concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (-opticon) all (pan-) prisoners without the incarcerated being able to tell whether they are being watched."
Like this, but with bigger windows:

Employee? Prisoner? Who's to say?
Another vote for KeePass
(and thank you again, Slashdot, for the five minute wait between posts).
Maybe you could get some help from the ACLU on this?
This place is cool, so I checked out their (Swedish) website:

I don't speak Swedish, so a quick run through Google Translate solves that for me:

Now, though, I want to know where I get my hands on the wicked nail-filtering UPS!:

Don't forget to view the photos. I thought the photos were more interesting than the article.

I agree, the Linux approach is way better.
But, I have found the Secunia Software Inspector a great help in keeping my Windows boxes more up-to-date.
It doesn't cover every program in the world, but every major one I use.

mr peters started posting the court filings and dockets from the case on his site as the case progressed.

just shows that whoever has more lawyers will probably win, regardless of the law.

actually, the literal definition of a firewall is a partition that stops the spread of fire. for example, you have one in your car.

not sure i want that in my datacenter...
well, this may not apply to you, as you do not mention the size/number of items to index.
but, for small shops where there is no money to throw at this type of thing, try IBM OmniFind Yahoo! Edition. can't beat the price.

...that others are surprised about this capability. we do this on the corporate network all the time. this is the same thing, just on a larger scale.
if you don't think you can trust your isp, encrypt it. otherwise they can see everything, they always could...
if you want https automatically, use the highly-recommended customizegoogle add-in.

its a bucket-wheel excavator

my new samsung a900 has a really functional speech-to-text function for dictating text messages right into the phone.
not useful for a location where you have to be quiet (the library, etc.), but much easier any other time.

in japan, you would just dictate your comment to the voice recognition system built into the toilet, and it would log in and post it for you.
here's one from the ground
sorry, bad link in the parent.
matching google map here
i saw this picture on yahoo news earlier in the day.
then, as i was scrolling around the map randomly, i recognized the spot when i saw it again here!
it might be helpful (or at least interesting) to be able to map photos to their location on the map somehow, kind of like this
actually, i noted this the last time this story was posted...
