Dirty bombs aren't any more nasty than regular bombs. Because there's no chain reaction, and because the radioactive material is blown up, the amount of radiation is extremely diffuse.
Both the US and Iraqi governments have experimented with dirty bomb tests, and concluded that the danger is simply in fear of radiation - it's unlikely anyone would get radiation poisoning.
The BBC covers this in their documentary "The Power of Nightmares," as well.
I doubt that. Several companies (especially Sharp) have laptops running Transmetas that are doing very well in the Japanese market. Sharp still has prime corner real estate in Akihabara for a reason.
We have community property laws, it seems to me that any data stored on the computer would be property of both parties. The spyware issue seems more straightforward, but what if she had only made copies of logs?
On mainstream news: That has a lot to do with the fact that the readers of a nontechnical site, watchers of the evening news wouldn't care. Audience, not news, defines the content of major media outlets.
Pacman teaches kids how to eat small pills and run around aimlessly listening to horrible electronic music.
Isn't it creepy? That's exactly what they do.
To be fair, as a Bush hater myself, Clear Skies is not a rollback of Clean Air. Yes, numbers per plant are higher, but Clear Skies includes the pre-1971 "grandfathered" plants that Clean Air does not. The net emissions are lower under the new law.
As an engineer - if you think that ratifying Kyoto will cause an economic downturn, you're not aware of all the facts. There are blossoming industries devoted to reducing individual power consumption through innovative design, new and better versions of all your household products, new methods of farming to produce higher yield than current industrial farming without the use of pesticides, and a thousand more.
It doesn't "transmit." That's not how the GPS network works - there are satellites that transmit, the device only receives. The device would simply remember where it had been.
The cell phone network, however, does transmit. This is not the same.
Blizzard doesn't want them traded for cash? That wasn't mentioned in the post... I understand that the issues are real, but the way they were delivered was nonfunctional except to a small percentage of users.
In context, I'm sure this would be useful. As it stands, even the topic is horribly obfuscated by assuming a lot of prior knowledge. Part of journalism is understanding one's audience, and that seems to be seriously lacking in the last few weeks and months here. There are a few people who care a lot about this particular topic, but they aren't the majority - I doubt they even make up ten percent of users of the site. That's bad management, and it needs to change if Slashdot is going to survive the next few years.
Remember, this isn't really a 4% loss. It's just a completely bullshit arbitrary judgment that 4% fewer discs sold in the marketplace. They aren't realizing an actual loss - it's not at all equivalent.
That "killer HIV strain" is totally bogus. They had a meth addict who died after destroying his immune system. The fact is, if your immune system is overactive or damaged, you will test positive for HIV (just like if you're pregnant).

MSN wouldn't fight this - they're more interested in being content providers than infrastructure providers.
Wow - serves me right for not reading up before I post. Thanks.
It's not an adaptation of DNA's work - it is his work. He wrote the screenplay.
Except that in CA, your market is so much larger, you'll still make more money.

IE will have fewer security issues when it has a smaller market share. It already has a popup blocker.
As I said, it would be useful if it was in context. What about all the people who haven't got a clue what the article is talking about?

Why is this even remotely newsworthy? Isn't "Stuff that matters" part of the slogan of Slashdot?
If you buy 100 dual-layer blanks, they're only $3 each.
Mod parent up. This is reality.

Doesn't AZT screw over your immune system enough that you false positive anyway?
What about the millions of simultaneous porn video streams we have now?
And that's the impression I was left with - you see why I haven't tried again?
First, it's "you're." Second, no. Microsoft will not be prohibited from selling Pro or Home, only required to offer RME.
