First generations of the laptop will actually be more expensive, around $156, the $100 pricetag will be... off memory, somewhere in 2008.

I'll admit to having misread the article in a way i previously believed only Americans were capable of. I blame lack of sleep for that. Still, I love how you guys go all self-righteous and respond like i came to your house and shot your dog, while infact i just made some lame joke about the wrong country, on a website already crawling in lame jokes about all the wrong countries.
Thats what you get when you ship off all your criminals to a newly discovered island (or is it a continent?) and come back a hundred years later to look at their justice system.
Jokes aside, the reason the bank would have indeed have the man arrested was probably a mix of pride and caution. Quite understandable, but I sure hope they pay the man after all this is out of the papers.
Like the article says, its not that big a deal until we know if this malfunction is fixable. From TFA:
Vision loss
Burch is optimistic that the ACS and even the High Resolution Channel itself will still be usable, although he stresses that the outlook could change as engineers obtain new information about the problem.
Still, the problem could mean that the HRC will be able to use only half of its normal field of view in future observations, Burch says. "We would have to take more observations to cover a given area [of the sky], but that's far from the end of the world for us," he told New Scientist.
Malcolm Niedner, deputy project scientist for Hubble at Goddard, agrees with that assessment. "None of us is talking about the loss of HRC," he told New Scientist. Losing half of the channel's field of view is being talked about as "a worst-case scenario," he says.
In other words, stay tuned for next exciting installment of 'Hubble, the incredible cyclops.'
Can't get a law to pass? Attach it to one that will!
To be fair, it is indeed a last resort. This bill can't be passed because of casino owners lobbying against it, so the fact that it doesn't pass also has little to do with democracy. I feel this is just another example of why the US needs to take a good hard look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy and compare it to the system theyre currently using.
Then again,/. democracy means this post will get slapped with -1 flamebait. Yay to free speach!
That made me cringe.
Open source does NOT mean there is no copy protection on it.
The very force that holds together my soul is stopping me from further explaining how far off you are on this.
Actually, you can just hold the girl firmly by her hips and move in and out. Theres a dozen other ways i could think of now that would be easier, and a lot more interesting, then it is to have copulate standing up in a 1G environment.

.. of Manbearpig have been reported all across the world.
Experts believe that due to the weight of manbearpig, an increase in their population will lead to the land getting pushed down into the sea, effectively rising sea levels.
Lets hope more corporations will adopt this policy.
Easiest explanation why they should is found in TFA:
"If you need a dozen lawyers involved every time you want to do something, it's going to be a huge barrier. We need to make sure that intellectual property is not used as a barrier to growth in the future."
Currently there are too many people in the business of hampering software developement, by exploiting patent laws. If the US government won't react to this, the industry will have to.
IBM is the first to step up, but expect more to follow, at least the ones who are not willing or able to waste insane amounts of money on what's basically a failure in legislation.
There area already websites optimised for viewing with mobile phone.
That this new TLD comes with a package of standards your website should live up to for mobile phone viewability is a Good Thing, but the main problem that going on the internet with your mobile has, is cost and bandwith, just like TFA says.
Still, because this will get media coverage and be advertised by phone providers it could mean an increased number of people from the 'general public' will get interested and start using the technology, which could drive down the prices and encourage providers to try and increase the bandwith.
How do you spend 35 million, or 2500 per workstation, to migrate it all to debian?
I could call a few friends and we'd do it for half the price.
The only logical explanation is that they're also replacing the hardware, but there is no mention of it in TFA.
I sure hope they win! Don't want to back this unreasonable disclosure of personal information with a court order, that AOL and other ISPs can wave around to justify abusing the trust of their customers, thank you very much.
Maybe i'm prejudiced towards Firefox for not letting myself get blinded by numbers but..
from TFA:
Looking at the data, it is apparent that one's choice of browser does not automatically confer invulnerability while surfing the web. Security through obscurity--which has been a popular strategy with some users--doesn't guarantee safety. That said, Internet Explorer remains the most popular target for attacks, with 69 percent of all browser attacks targeted specifically at that browser alone. 20 percent of the attacks monitored during the period in question were targeted at Firefox.
When it comes to patching, all of the browsers are improving. Firefox is the fastest to get its patches out, with a one-day window of exposure. Opera had a two-day window of exposure, down from 18 days during the last half of 2005. The window of exposure for Safari is up to five days (from zero), while Internet Explorer typically has a nine-day window, down from 25 days in the previous study.
My phone has a 1 MP camera on it, my camera has 5MP, but an option to shoot at 1MP.
Now, if i take a 1 MP picture with both of the same scene, the one i took with my camera looks exactly like the one i took with my phone, but without the snowstorm that seems to be raging on in the phone version.
700+ MP is not going to be any better in terms of actual image quality then current professional >50 MP cameras.

Actually, thats assuming a boeing can turn on the spot. But it can't.

Yup, infection from aggresive space bacteria. Thats what you get when you dont use a self-cleaning mouse.

While typing my comment, someone else already posted the same. I suggest less sensationalism in the caption, and more readin the article.
