I find it funny that this story is so slow to get comments. It's like this guy is the weird guy that everyone knows but nobody wants to be friends with him. "Does ANYONE remember this guy? Anyone...?" And wo no one posts for fear of being associated with him.
My question is, is that 5 megabits per fingernail, or total? Do you get 50 megabits if you use all 10 fingers? Can we do toes as well for a whopping 100 megabits? How much can we expect bitrot to occur?
You're right. They need to come out with some new anime, change things up a bit. Maybe they could use pink hair or they could do something that involves both girls AND tentacles. That would certainly revive the industry...
Because even at the 90 raids-to-4 arrests ratio, when you multiply that by a few billion, you get a really big number, and they just don't have enough prison space.
Yep, they are overdue for a new service. Oh well, that just give me more time to ride my new Googlebike for exercise and cook my Googlewife a nice Googlemeal.
That's not the Chinese, that's Fight Club. And the reason you don't see it is because we're not supposed to talk about it, AND becaues we're not supposed to talk about it.
Actually, a whitelist system would be interesting...I mean, it worked (or still works) for Google. Think about it...the way they validated the relevance of an email was based upon how many links to that page existed. If there were a way to rank email sources based upon the ratio of emails received received by that address divided by the number of emails sent from that address, then that gives a decent metric of the realistic use of that email address. If the number is at or near zero, then either it's a spammer or a mailing list. If the mailing lists could be user-authorized, then all the user should receive is email from "real" email addresses and the user-authorized mailing lists.
Granted, there will be problems down the road because some spammers will email each other a lot to build up their ratios, and but that's basically the equivalent of what Google deals with already in terms of links from SEOs. But it's a start.
I suppose the missing element right now is the ability to keep track of emails sent/received for a given email address, but maybe someone more knowledgable than I knows a way...?
Am I the only one who finds it amusing that an EARTHQUAKE occured, human lives are put in danger, and one of the first questions posted asks about if the internet connection survived?
Well, it should be obvious--they've stated that they're going to cruise around downtown in a van, so it sounds like they're going to start buying hookers.
This is probably the first significant indicator of evil...
No, that was "Graffiti Brides of Madison County". Eastwood is back, with a cooler line than before:
"I know what you're thinking: 'Did he say to click "Google Search" or "I'm Feeling Lucky?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a Google Search Engine, the most powerful search engine in the world, and would index your homepage in milliseconds flat, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

I believe the runway is on level ground, so unless you give the Ford a shove, there's not much need to test the brakes on it...

I'll bet two or three of these--along with a side of bread--could feed a few thousand people...
I've been waiting for a book like this. I was really hoping to write a kernel entirely with this stuff...

Because Osama doesn't use Microsoft products?
Either that, or the people pirating watched a lot of action movies that featured REALLY good escapes...
There once was a poster on Slashdot
Who most certaily wasn't a bot.
He wrote a short rhyme,
in a very short time,
and so he got modded up a lot!
Geez, I knew DMCA had bad side effects but holes in the brain...what kinds music are they trying to protect?
*checks my Google calendar*

Would that be obscurity or FUD?
Ok, so no broadcast flag...and the solar sail didn't launch...
What next?
Jack Kilby still alive!
Court changes ruling: GIS data can be kept secret!

Well, if they flat out refused and said they absolutely would not do it, then Walmart is controlled by the Sith. Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Nope, the front is blue. But I would agree about the greenbacks.
Probably something along the lines of "At least our TCO is lower..."
Heck, I don't even need a space fighter, just an R2 unit will do for me...

The Matrix has you, parent poster.

You can have porn sent back to you instead of regular phone sex.
