In these cases, there seems to be acceptance of truth by the accusers; how many others are fabrications? If Jandreau's accuser were a jilted ex-girlfriend with a creative, convincing lie, how would he undo the damage?
Will the continued slashdot-front-paging and diggability of these stories dwindle as we become numb with their commonness?

If in the last year Google received suggestions for other numbers to be searched, they do not seem to be implemented today. Drivers Lic #'s, SSN's, Lic Plate #'s, are not likely to be included. What numbers could Google search?

downplays any dangers, referencing the November 8, 1996 issue of Science (Vol. 274, pg. 910):
After an exhaustive, 3-year study, a 16-member panel said there is 'no conclusive and consistent evidence' that ordinary exposure to EMF's causes cancer, neurobehavioral problems, or reproductive and developmental disorders."
Some believe the electro-magnetic fields emitted by CRT monitors constitute a health danger to the functioning of living cells. Exposure to these fields is far lower at distances of 85cm or farther.
In my blogger-surfing history, I have clicked 'Next Blog' a handful of times, but I don't recall seeing many blogger spam sites.
But grandparent post said they can be found, and grandpa is right. I found Snowy Whistler, a spam site advertising whistler-portal.com. Some quick Google searching fails to produce that site in the results. Maybe they have more luck with Yahoo, MSN.
I feel comfortable that Google is on the job, and the six spam sites that GP lists either don't or soon won't produce results in Google searches
Make sure it's a good cause. Put them in the newspaper. Tell them it'll be on MTV.
Extreme Makeover:Home Edition is growing in popularity. Find good people & do something great for them. Do you wonder why so many companies & celebrities want to be associated with it? A lot of those blue-shirted workers who demolish the home in the first few days donate their time. Even the craftsmen & women do their work for free.
What's up with thenakedword? Where's the posts after September?
Why is 'math is hard' so insightful? Isn't that one of the points of the article?
Is the US' relation to 'Barbie' the doll indicative of a general proclivity towards many things pop culture and away from education and self-betterment? Is that another symptom of the problem identified in the article?
What if we quote not Barbie but someone like JFK or George W. saying the same thing with an addendum, 'but our country needs smart mathematicians'?

I failed to 'Preview' my last post, and got CRAP. Here is what I meant to post
One post mentioned smugmug.com, which is what I settled on after an intense evaluation of 25 sites, including ofoto, Yahoo!, shutterbug, etc.
Here is my quick plug for smugmug as a recommendation for anyone else looking to run from ofoto etc. for superior services like flickr or smugmug:
1) Unlimited storage (they get you for downloading - viewing - more than 180,000 med-size jpegs in a month, flickr only limits your UPloading 2) Sharing of ORIGINAL size photos. This is indeed rare. 3) Backups to CD or DVD of ALL your photos (about $25). A great deal for groups like mine with 20,000+ photos. A NEW feature of smugmugs they didn't have a year ago. This was the reason for my intense search. 4) Hotlinking to intelligently organized pictures (www.smugmug.com/-[Ti S M L O].jpg
Does it matter if my $0.02 are in Australian dollars?

With a sample size of about eight, the Wayback Machine is 100% for me. One of them required some non-trivial search options to get the www.xxx.edu/~homedir to give me my homedir. Yup, in that case it could have used some improvement (but a search today gives me immediately the content I worked hard to get months ago, so apparently someone fed the chimps and they went back to work;)
To agree a bit more that yes it needs work, I was a bit thwarted the other day when I learned it doesn't have much content younger than 6 months. I referred to there a friend whose site was hacked and whose data was lost, touting that he could get it all back. Well he did, but only up until about Dec. 03. We'll check back in 6 months for the rest
Don't forget www.archive.org.
And it's cache!
How long before each of us has our own Petabyte cluster, and our own cached copy of the internet for use in such cases of terror?!?
Slashdot Mirror
...to be outed after stupid behavior:
Laura K Pahl is a plagiarist!
Subway pervert Dan Hoyt was arrested by police and charged with public lewdness
The Ultimate Best Buy Extended Warranty Nightmare outs by name a couple of store managers...
And many, many more.
In these cases, there seems to be acceptance of truth by the accusers; how many others are fabrications? If Jandreau's accuser were a jilted ex-girlfriend with a creative, convincing lie, how would he undo the damage?

Populicio.us pointed me late last week to voo2do, and I am impressed.
Shameless plug for Brett Walker
Most of /. probably knew about this, since it's been around since at least February 2004

And many sites allege a justified concern:
But their next paragraph cites the FDA's page on radiation emitting products, saying most CRT emissions fall well below this limitIf there are many peer-reviewed studies of the health dangers of CRT usage, they are not easy to find.

News.com posted their story about this at 15:37pmPST.
Boingboing posted theirs at 15:40PST.
I don't mean to go offtopic, but is Slashdot regularly slower than other tech sites? Are Boingboing and news.com usually so fast (at ~100 minutes)?
With accounting snafubars and corporate greed in other news, it's satisfying to see such 'Karma-positive' companies be so well-recognized.
