That's one aspect, but in this case Sky is eponymous, sort of like Windows is. So MS could trademark Microsoft Windows XP, but not Windows. Sky by itself can't be trademarked as it already has a meaning which in this case is irrelevant because only a ham fisted fascist like Murdoch would actually even consider those to be confusing.
Unfortunately, that's not true. Windows is trademarked and any application that uses the word Windows in it is asked to remove it or face charges. Point in case: Windows/Total Commander.
I think It's pretty safe to assume if your on slashdot you probably haven't had experience with 10 one night stands in a single week.
I think it's pretty safe to assume that if you've had 10 one-night stands in a week, you don't live on the planet Earth, as there are only seven nights per week here.
I suspect they were planning a Denial-of-Service attack.
Whether its known for being full of Hippies or apparent Lemonade Stand Nazi's (aka puppy/children haters) the state is known by others as very liberal. I thought there were protected jobs that minors could do freely, mow lawns, newspaper routes, and lemonade stands. Lemonade stands are practically an iconic image of American children living the American dream. Now some communists want to "put the public's health first." I'd like to know how much a 7 year old can screw up with a can of lemonade concentrate diluted with 3 parts water, chilled with ice cubes.
They can sneeze on their hands or be picking their noes while preping it.
But in all seriousness, yeah this is pretty lame. This happened in Minnesota a long time ago. A neighbor complained about it and so the mom went out and paid the $30-40 to get the license so the kids could have their stand.
Did they have to prove anything to get that license (e.g. good hygiene practices) or did anything change to make it safer to buy lemonade after they got that license?
I'm just curious if getting the license actually made any difference at all. I don't care for some germs from a seven year old. The worst I'm likely to get is a cold.
Unfortunately, here in Holland people are very resistant to change. Especially companies and corporations.
Holland has long been a Microsoft beacon in Europe, and I personally dislike it a lot because the main reason people here use Windows for solutions is because "everyone uses it".
That being said it would be easier to shoot in the z dimension,
Although it is of course relative, you probably mean the y dimension. You always shoot in the z dimension, unless you put someone else directly in front of your gun. Try it at home, you'll see!
Conspiracy theories and scientific hypes aside, is man actually capable of changing the properties of something as huge as planet Earth?
Or, in other words, can we stop this even if we want to? Earth will continue changing as it will continue rotating, and we might as well take our minds off what we cannot change and work a little bit more on what we can, i.e. the misery of mankind.
We certainly are capable: we have enough nukes to destroy all life on Earth. You can rest assure, however, that mankind is working hard on the misery of mankind, but unfortunately in the wrong direction.
People don't buy Blizzard games to play single player. Sure it's still enjoyable and a good game but you will spend the majority of the time gaming online. And you won't be able to do that on battle.net without a valid key.
Actually, Blizzard said that over half of the Starcraft players don't intend to ever play multiplayer. I tried my best to find you a link to show it, but I failed. I hope someone else has it.
Most of that money will have gone into graphics and marketing.
No wonder large companies have to create a top 10 game in order to get their investment back!
If they would settle for 20% less impressive graphics, I bet they'd save more than 50% on the bills. And then they wouldn't have to be so scared about piracy, either.
You generate money by calculating answers to mathematical problems. There is a maximum amount of bitcoins that can be in existence at any one time (problem difficulty goes up as global coin count increases to halt inflation). Therefore, he with the most cpu cycles gains the most money (you could even say the rich can make a lot more money out of this than the poor).
However, if this becomes really popular, Google, Microsoft or anyone with a large enough botnet could claim the bulk of all the currency in just a few days, devaluing the coins everyone else has generated and making it impossible for them to generate more.
I really like the concept, but I can't see how this will survive growth.
You are correct, and this "news" article is hardly shocking or news. But I do agree that plugins have too many permissions.for all sites that you browse, and that security could be a lot tighter.
inventor of the fundamental technology on which wireless email is based
Really? Which technology would that be: wireless or email?
Nono, it's the combination of it.
Millions of people put peanutbutter on their bread. Millions of other people put jelly on their bread. But it takes a genius to think of combining these things, and should therefore be reasonably compensated for their services to mankind.
Since they wouldn't commit to fighting this threat, and instead said they would work on their biggest threats...
WHAT THE HELL ARE THEIR BIGGEST THREATS!?
In all fairness, they didn't say they would work on them. They would focus on them instead, which in marketing terms probably means.. well.. I have no idea. But I'm sure it's even better than working or fixing problems!

NPR really needs to learn the difference between a typo (i.e. a slip of the finger) and bad spelling and grammar.
You probably mean "e.g." and not "i.e.". Or was that a typo? :-"

This stems from the completely broken Christian concept
How do you figure it's a Christian concept? Or are you just inserting a small rant against Christianity?
These laws aren't created to protect children, they're made to control the people. Children are just the excuse.
The problem here is that the cops and the media have created a mad child porn frenzy completely out of proportion to the problem
Actually, it's the government that did it. Terrorism and kiddie porn are the two best persuaders to get questionable laws through.

Looks no more crowded than any western site I have ever seen, if you view all the chars as text then it is relatively clean and simple ?
Or at least similar to Western sites. For example http://www.tomshardware.com/us/ looks just as cluttered, especially with Japanese characters: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http://www.tomshardware.com/us/%23redir&sl=en&tl=ja
Did you figure out how to use the three shells?
I'm still stuck on that one.

I do have a link on Blizzard's stance on DRM though: http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/05/28/0614256/Blizzard-Boss-Says-Restrictive-DRM-Is-a-Waste-of-Time
Alright. But then I'm curious how the $100M is divided up.
Most of that money will have gone into graphics and marketing.

This game has been up for a while. Sound was disabled due to cross browser (un)support for the new audio tag.

Bonus points if you know what game it's from, and a medal if you can beat the CPU with 21-0.
Concerts and merchandise. Not CD sales. That's why Radiohead had no problems giving away their songs for free online.
He's favoring appearance over usefulness.
Did you see the designs? They are just random colour lego blocks put together. If anything, it makes the repaired item look worse.
It's only censorship when the government does it.
Funny, my dictionary does not include the word "government" in its definition of "censorship."
That's because your copy was "censored" by the "government. Think about it.

I live in the US, where human rights are in fact Pretty Damn Good.
I would call them pretty damn okayish myself. Certainly not in the worldly top 10.

I was playing around with PhitFinder and I totally accidentally made it forward to slashdot.
Sorry.
