Bullshit. Was it irresponsible of Canadians to sell liquor to American smugglers during prohibition? Of course not. Was it irresponsible for the Allies to help the French Resistance during WWII? No. This is the same thing.
My employer, an insurance company, has had similar measure in place for years. It's amazing and, as an American citizen, quite distressing that the federal government hasn't been following best practices for confidential data.
I leave them everywhere, but nowhere is my fingerprint associated with me. They are not on file anywhere, and I'd like to keep it that way.
In other news, Cub Foods supermarkets in Minnesota have had this technology for at least two years, so this is sort of old news.
How many of those scientists work for research organizations funded by oil companies? This has been covered extensively before. There IS a broad scientific consensus on global warming and its causes. The only scientists saying otherwise are on the payroll of oil companies. This is just like the "scientists" who the tobacco companies paid to say there was no proven link between smoking and lung cancer.
First of all, dupe from like two days ago.
So, sure, blogs are public information. You don't have an expectation of privacy when you post something in a public forum.
But schools are only in loco parentis while the students are in school. If a student posts on his blog that he drank alcohol and smoked weed on the weekend this is none of the school's concern. It's that student's parents' concern, and if they're doing their job as parents they will be the ones monitoring his blog.
Now, if a student posts that he keeps a bottle of vodka in his locker at school, or that he cut class, then it becomes the school's concern. So schools monitoring student blogs is not in and of itself a problem; it only becomes a problem when some school official gets on a power trip and thinks he gets to parent his students outside of school hours.
They seem to be intent on losing elections. Howard is such a complete dingbat the Australian opposition would have to go out of their way to continue to lose elections - and here they are doing just that.
More like 40 years. It was discovered right about the time Larry Niven submitted the story "The Coldest Place", which relied on Mercury having a dark side for its premise. The magazine published his story anyway.
I have a small mixed home network, and Windows 2000 has no trouble finding the shared directory on my Mac (OS X), but OS X is very bad at finding my Windows shares. It used to work sporadically, and after the last OS X upgrade doesn't work at all. In this (one, singular) respect Windows networking seems to work better than OS X.
Besides looking tall, it's a landmark so if you want reporters to cover your new WiMax project your better off using the Space Needle than some boring old hill or building.
Based on today's exchange rate it should be AU $1.27, not $1.80. You're being overcharged 53 cents. Ain't that a diggerywumble!

Unless you want to use a player other than an iPod, in which case it doesn't work at all.
This comment sums it up nicely:
The whole concept is ridiculous. Would you really buy a CD that you could only play on one brand of CD player? That you couldn't play in the car as well as at home and in your CD Walkman? A CD that has sound quality comparable to an old cassette tape at best? No, no, no!

Or DVRs, or hardware firewalls, or pocket PCs, or any of the myriad things people run Linux on. The Linux kernel, even GNU Linux, has a wide variety of uses. Solaris is specializing in a few areas, the main one, of course, being Sun hardware.
When you buy a song from iTunes, who gets the money? Apple gets a cut, and the rest goes to the owner of the rights to the music. It sounds like the copyright holders want to get paid twice for each song that gets sold.
Middle America is not where the real money is. The real money is in the 2% or so of the population who have the lion's share of the wealth. Middle America's job is to help the people at the top get richer. It's the 19th Century all over again.

You mean the title on this science article is misleading and sensationalistic? Imagine that!
9/11 was a wake-up call - but the government seems to be going after everyone EXCEPT Osama bin Laden.

Don't forget that the Clinton administration tried to do exactly the same thing here in the US. It could happen again.
And since when do they contain basic spelling errors? (it's "existence" not "existance")
I notice that too, and it bugs the shit out of me.
That whole article is full of typos. It's really pathetic coming from a professional news organization.

The Archos AV series play videos as well as music. So does the Gmini, but only in one particular format.
If this bendable concrete has the flexibility of asphalt with the durability of concrete, it could indeed be a superior road surface to either.

Nobody, that is, except these Slashdot contributers:
But other than that, nobody ever mentioned anything.
Too bad the new hard drive iRiver sucks, and they discontinued the good one.

I can think of two correct decisions they've made in the last two years. This is one of them; the other one begins with an "I" and ends with "raq".
Now to mod my own post off-topic.
