And here I thought that slashdot had crossed over into sports, and had an article on yesterday's congressional inquiry into baseball players "juicing " with steroids. I know this place gets political once in a while...
I think you are right, but this is a different initiative:
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and several ministers may decide as early as this week whether free software or a simplified version of Microsoft's Windows will be installed on computers for a new effort called PC Conectado, or the Connected PC.
The effort aims to sell up to one million computers, with costs partially subsidised by the government, to lower-middle-income Brazilians this year.
Rumor has it that Ed Begley Jr. refuses to give his up, and he's leading a police chase up Highway 1 in California. Granted, its a very low-speed chase, and should come to a halt soon so that he can plug it in...

Maybe this is a really old story, then...maybe a dupe?
Idiot! DVD technology was discovered in a Martian spacecraft that was buried under ice in Antarctica.
That's Potomac, Maryland, for ya....
So, will the dupe be posted before or after 1111111111?
This story reminds of Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons", too...
Sounds like another reason to build my own computer...
When was the last time you visited a wind farm?
Wow, that sounds like fun!
Not to mention that Chavez from Venezuela is on a sales trip this week to other countries so that he can sell his oil elsewhere, and not to the US...

Gay-mail account? Sounds like hot-male, to me.
It's not a tumor! Arggggggggggh! (using Arnold voice)
Their Motorola box sucks, too -- I can't use the DVR to record one thing while watching another.
He can do whatever he wants. That doesn't mean that I have to listen to it (or watch colorized, old movies, either).
Besides, he might need to do something to raise funds for any possible civil suits!
That's fine, if they've bought the rights, like Ted Turner did with plenty of movies, and then colorized them...
I wonder if the actual quality will improve, though -- colorized films still look, well, colorized. You can tell in 1 second...
OTOH, a .50 toll -- in only one location -- is the cheapest that I've ever come across...
Who at Slashdot would RTFA, much less read the RTFLA?
I heard that Kasparov is retiring so that he fully dedicate his time to Magic: The Gathering...there's more money in it.
You read my mind and beat me to this post...it was Riker's fault for being a naive ensign!
Cell phone makers should continue to try to innovate any way that they see fit and sink or swim because of it.

Great idea! Just don't put it near the mouthpiece.
Think of all of the contacts that I could store on 3 gigs! After all, it is a phone...
