I did a Google search on "aP2", and I noticed two distinct types of results. It looks like "aP2", which the main article discusses, and "AP-2", which is discussed in the articles you linked to, are two very different proteins, with confusingly similar abbreviations.
"aP2", the topic of the main article, is the "adipocyte lipid-binding protein", also known as "ALBP".
"AP2", or "AP-2", is "Activator protein 2" or "Activator protein-2alpha". It seems to be associated, not with fat, but with cancer.
A quick Google search turns up the full name of aP2: "adipocyte lipid-binding protein". In other words, it binds to fat (and maybe also cholesterol, a type of fat).
IANAMB (a Molecular Biologist), but it looks to me like this protein is involved in storing excessive amounts of fat. The excessive fat may be linked to some of the other problems, like diabetes and asthma.
When you're not getting 3 square meals a day, this can be very useful. Some people living in third world countries may still need this. People who can afford to post on Slashdot probably don't.
Rename the name it broadcasts to "Free WiFi provided by Nevynxxx" or something like that.
I generally don't use an open AP unless I know where it's coming from, or it says something like this. (And if I don't know where it's coming from, I'm very careful.)
There are a few other choices. There exist some wireless broadband providers. One could also include cell phone wireless broadband here. FTTH (Fiber To The Home) is possible, and apparently being done in some places. I can imagine some sort of laser delivery system outside of fiber (I recall a company that once provided cable tv that way). And there's still BPL (Broadband over Power Lines), maybe.
The big question would be, how competitively could these alternatives be priced?
"Among other things, most of the recent drafts would outlaw home recording of TV and radio unless a special exception was put into the law, state by state."
That would seem to put most TiVos out of business, unless they partner with a broadcaster.
Also, please try to use correct spelling and grammar (where practical, and excluding 1337-sp33k), as a good example to impressionable young minds.

If there was ever a web site, which linked to an FTP server, and used its DNS name (thus using the DNS database), that comes close to prior art. I think the only extra requirement is checking (probably in CGI) that the FTP server was up at the time.
Or worse, a virus writer could just use a randomized one-time pad which makes the files unrecoverable, claim he has the password, and just make off with the dough!

I've thought the antarctic ozone *hole* was sensationalism. Ozone is produced by UV light hitting oxygen in the air, and it has a half-life of at most 12 hours in air. The antarctic ozone hole appears in southern winter, when the sun doesn't shine for months at a time. Oxygen without sun doesn't form ozone, therefore you get an ozone hole.
However, this doesn't mean the scientists didn't have a point. The correct place to focus was not on the Antarctic ozone hole, but on the ozone thinning everywhere else. And this, the article says, is improving.
While there are several approaches that could address these problems, M2Z's current approach is to route free-user traffic through a set of proxy servers, which can examine the traffic flows for improper activity and restrict access as required.

Close. But I think it was more like illegally charging rent on their property, "intellectual estates".

Sattelites are launched to the *east*, to take advantage of the Earth's rotation. Pakistan is to the *west* of India.
Replace Pakistan with China, and you might have something...
It took me awhile going through the article, but the author seems to be trying to prove that Vacuum Energy is the source of Dark Energy.

Maybe you could glue magnets to the inside of some surgical gloves. Be sure to let the glue dry before wearing them!!!!

I guarantee Microsoft put bugs in all PCs with Windows.
But that doesn't mean they were intentional, or designed to report information to anyone...
Some of my text files seem to be infected with a pox of periods, an abscess of ampersands, or an eruption of exclamation marks!!!!! (There's one now)
There's also the classic brain virus (a.k.a. the "chain letter") which can infect almost any medium, but it's rarely found in plain text files.
Say...You could use liposuction waste.
