I don't have a link, but crime rates in the "wild west" are actually lower than most cities in the U.S. It was that small feature of everyone having a gun;)

I'm aware of the search.yahoo issue, but lets think of this another way:
google.com
search.yahoo.com
6 characters longer. Makes a minor difference. Google did not win by simple site layout alone, but this was a part of Google winning.
Think of it this way: how is Joe Schmoe going to know to use search.yahoo.com? Even if he did, would he remember it? Probably not. Just some food for thought I guess.
Google by far beat Yahoo the first time, because Google has a simple interface, with very few misleading pages (except for the bombs, which are at most the first few sites). Yahoo, on the other hand, has always had inferior searches. This will only make Yahoo's searches worse, resulting in more people flocking to google. Just my 2 cents.
I seriously doubt that, as Jesus fed the five thousand on fish and bread. Now then, the origional ban on seafood (if any) would have been lifted, as well as pork items and other "unclean" animals, once Jesus Christ entered the world. The origional ban on pork and other unclean animals was lifted by Jesus. So there you have it, Jesus likes shrimp, and therefore YWH does as well.
I never can catch the damn thing because I'm too clumsy, so it rolls around the floor a few times before resting on a side. Do that, and guaranteed random results. Especially if you have uneven hardwood floors like me!
this whole SCO mess is really out of hand and absurd. They will be suing a Linux user for what? Using software legally? They haven't won their case with IBM. This is all just absolutely outrageous! They're suing someone based on what someone else did (and they haven't even proved that much in court). I hope the "victim" of SCO's suit couter-sues their asses into tomorrow.
I don't exactly consider the same company I get broadband through charging an additional $25/mo for something I don't need (cable TV), selfish on my part. More like it is age old control over a service that only one provider can offer...what's the word again? Oh yeah, monopoly.
This has the potential to take the power of broadband away from the cable and phone companies, and treat it as a utility. This is a great idea, and I don't know about you guys, but I sure as heck wouldn't mind some of my dollars going towards movements like these. Monopolies over broadband are sickening, and growing more and more. Currently, I pay $100/mo for 512 sync, because my ISP is the only ISP in my small town.
yeah, but a kernel panic would be a bitch....

Sounds like a pretty cool idea, and cheap. From reading the site, its definetely cheap. Somewhere around $20/room for tempature controls/etc. I just don't like the idea of it being computer-controlled, in areas like where I live, it would suck if the controller crashed, and it was -40 out. Frozen pipes/kitty cats.
"I think it's a good thing that the mainstream media is starting to show how 'computer nerds' (as the correspondent identified Hawley) can be rich individuals with much more to their lives than hardware upgrades, programming languages and pocket protectors."
There is? Since when?
I fully understand why this is a big deal. They should instead charge him with attempted cyberterrorism, or something to that effect. Reguardless if someone does something stupid and reckless, they shouldn't have a cruel or unusual punishment. By all means, 3 years in a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison is a good punishment. The punishment should fit the crime, after all. I'm just saying not to charge him with something he didn't really do. Cruel and unusual punishment is forbidden in that silly little document called the Bill of Rights.
This isn't cyberterrorism. This is instead a classic case of someone writing a malicious script, that does not spread by itself, that alters dial-up settings. Yes, it does dial 911, but a load of 18+ people calling 911 isn't likely to put a major load on the 911 system. If it had, then by all means, call it what you will. It didn't though. The potential doesn't mean that it should be charged as if it had. If I shoot someone, it isn't murder. I shouldn't be charged with murder unless they die. That's what ATTEMPTED murder is for. He should be charged at the most with attempted cyberterrorism.

actually, if you substitiute 127.0.0.1 for hnsg.net, it doesn't have to resolve, and you can attack hnsg.net faster, without putting a load on your DNS server.;)
I think that this is a good thing, IMHO. When this law was first written, everyone on slashdot was against it, but when you think about it, this makes perfect sense. The feds can arrest you if you break a law related to your domain name, and in addition charge you with falsifying the domain name records. On the other hand, there are numerous privacy issues with making this info public, but in the end I guess it all evens out, I've gotten tons of spam with my domain name since I've registered it (both email and snail mail), but at the same time, good spam filtering and using the snail mail spam for firewood fuel is about all it amounts to. I don't think the feds would really care that much if you left a bad email address though. In the end, this is just another charge the DA can bring against you to make a really sound case.

Diebold has had SEVERAL articles on slashdot, all of them negative. CNN has as well. Why are the voters still using that equipment? Shouldn't Diebold be bankrupt by now?
Insecure Diebold Systems,
Diebold installed uncertified software on its units,
My personal favorite, Diebold hit by Nachi worm.
A report by CNN on the concerns of using Diebold equipment. How much more evidence do we all need?
