At the bottom of http://googlewallet.com/ is a little phrase: "Powered by Yahoo! Web Hosting" LOL! I wonder if Google will be able to get that domain. And if they don't we'll get another PayPai and other look-alikes!

It's good that they picked SF! It's close to their HQ, it's hilly (this'll let 'em test their technology), and the best part, I can use it for 3D modeling (if they ever release it that is!)
Unlike Microsoft, I trust Google more. The founders are not control freaks, like Billy is, and their company policy reflects that. If they want to store the info to decide what ads to show me, fine.
When those pimply infectious things pop up, do we try to go after them, or do we try to get the source - the infection? If you do the second, you are more likely to be disease-free sooner rather than later. Cancer, IMO is the same thing. Tumors are just the infected pimples popping up. Until we can find the source, controlling, not necesserily cutting out (as that does a lot of damage to the immune system), the tumors should be the biggest priority. Cutting out a tumor does not remove cancer.
Some of the people who are working on this have told me that eventually, if it works, it will be converted to a power plant. However, no funding exists for research for such use at this point.
A few of the biggest tasks include cooling the environment around the laser (lasers tend to heat things up), as well as focusing the laser on the pea-sized target. From what they're saying, "we're at least twenty years away from having this working..."
The site is quite nice. I remember it being built when I worked at the Presidio Trust one summer. I went by a few weeks ago and it looks like they're ready to open it. It fits in quite well and looks much better than that old and ugly hospital building that once stood there. Hopefully they'll extend trolley buses into the park now that there'll be demand for them. Also, hopefully Lucas will provide some sort of a visitor center to attract people, considering the fact the Palace of Fine Arts, Exploratorium and the Golden Gate Bridge are a few steps away.
BTW. Lucasfilm will get a much better view of the bridge once the new approaches get built in about 10-12 years.
A bit off-topic, but still.... If someone steals SSNs of college students and uses them 10-20 years down the road, chances are these people will have perfect credit, and won't even know where the attack came from. It's a long shot, but still.
Unfortunately, people do not learn from others' mistakes. How many times have people broken into school databases only to be arrested! It does prove that you can break into a DB, but so what?
Once again it goes to show you "no good deed goes unpunished!"

They usually grow that big in areas with high pollution. Unfortunately, that means that eating them = putting yourself at risk...

It looks weird though.... stretched out
Do you by any chance work for ESRI? If you do, you guys are making one shitty piece of software.
Considering the fact that Mr. Sergei Brin is Russian, this would work!

I mod'ed 'em and sold 'em on eBay ... made about a grand of profit.
You'd be surprised how many people don't know their multiplication tables! I understand CALCULators for CALCULus, but for simple things like this?

Give it to Google to distribute for this summer's OSS internship program.

This is just like the car battery warranty. You get pro-rated, in this case in the ammount of $30, but you still buy from the same company.
They have corporate prostitutes (obviously they're not called that), why not corporate bloggers? And then we wonder why Enron goes bust!
Having autism does not stop you from communicating with fellow slashdotters :)

This is not sufficient. I totally agree, release a search engine!
BTW...think what will happen with WiMax.... people won't have to leave their homes to tap into WiMax-based resources, currently avaliable only on WiFi
I wonder if IRS is doing this..... :)

There will always be people who complain because they weren't paid enough.
You're rent-controlled! Stop complaining!
Even then, the IT staff would probably want to sweep this under the rug rather than deal with it. I've seen it happen too many times before :(.
