What does this say about how much employers trust telecommuters. Can't a lot of people in these industries work from home anyway? How many must actually be in the office?
I'll admit that the map itself doesn't really tell us much - but it's a work in progress and hey, it's a Web 2.0 mash up, it's meant to be vague, self-fulfilling and of questionable real-world value.
What have we learned here? Google map + Any story + Web 2.0 mash up = Get slashdotted
Did you see this article? http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/04/05/05/1237245.shtml?
Also, have you tried sending the email spoofing the receivers email address? You can set the "from" header to their own address. Of course, this won't help ip based whitelists, but it will help many emails make it through for some mail hosts (few users block their own email address)
Meanwhile, Atari quickly makes one last effort to save their company by creating an ultra violent politically charged video game. Kids, err, um... 17 and older video game enthusiasts can choose between District Judge James Brady, Governor Kathleen Blanco, Jack Thompson or other interesting politician type characters. Cost is $49.99 or downloadable via piratebay... (No, wait... some other torrent site) 2 hours after release.
When will they learn? If you ever find a get rich quick scheme that ACTUALLY WORKS and makes you millions you should spend it slowly. Don't go for the Escalade and McLaren. Don't buy a home on the coast of Florida. Do learn about banks in Switzerland.
So wait a second... Since he settled for $1 million dollars and in his career he actually made more than $1 million, how is this fair? We still all lose, right? If he's made enough money to buy the house and the BMW, what's a million dollar fine but a slap on the wrist? Why doesn't this punk go to jail?
I suggest we test this... someone sends all AOLers an email saying that Bill Gates Junior and Burger King has teamed up with World Cup *ahem* "Football". They must watch the game online. If they see the hidden LOST commercial, call the 800 number immediately to win $1 million.
Provided the AOLers can actually get streaming video to work they and the millions of friends that they forward the email to should pretty much melt SOMETHING down.
By the way, not to split hairs, but I think these articles seem to indicate CORPORATE networks could malfunction, NOT "THE INTERNET" as timothy/MetaNick suggested.
When will they learn? If they make a funny / cool / sexy video... People are going to post it to sites like youtube, google video or similar. The artists' company will just have to pay a cleanup crew to keep bugging the content sites to remove their protected content. That will just have to be part of their business.
Heck... It's getting easier to build sites with the ability to share content... Mtrx.net (see my sig) can share videos/images/music... But I've only turned on images and I'm not taking customers. But if I did, it would be a full time job for several people to scan thousands of uploads for copyrighted content... Which is a good reason not to take new people yet... Point being, the companies that have the most to lose will end up footing the bill (and because of this they will also keep trying to sue the pants off little guys when their customers post copyrighted content to their subsites)
There is to be a 90 minute DVD about this issue. It will be released in the U.S. in July for $14.99 or get it now, burned to a cd... from a Chinese convenience shop near you.
"Semantic web" might make it easier for HackerBillyBob to find a potential identity fraud victim's information. So basically, HackerBillyBob can get dumber and dumber but do more and more damage. Fortunately the good side of this is PhisherBillyBob can decrease his R&D time because SemantiGoog will give him thousands of ACTIVE email addresses EACH AND EVERY MORNING.
For some reason when I read this I thought it said there was an Antibiotic for the MPAA Superbug (I know it doesn't quite make sense). Sheesh, what a let down. If there was a RIAA/MPAA vaccine, I bet someone could sell millions.
It usually first appears in a warm, moist section of the body, like an armpit or the crotch. Initially, it is a small, red bump, similar to a spider bite. Within days, it develops into a boil the size of a grapefruit with the potential to spread fatal poisons into the bloodstream. In other strains, it gradually eats away at a victim's flesh. Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a highly contagious skin infection that is resistant to the most commonly used antibiotics.
So if some stranger in the supermarket asks you to look at their rash and wonders if it's contagious... don't hesitate to punch them. Or maybe you guys don't live in quite the redneck neighborhood that I do...

Gaming industry would rather buy an unsuccessful game than make a uniquely creative one. It's easier.

What would happen to sites like YouTube if they had to pay a premium to get their bandwidth seen?
But can the superchickens fly now?
I will make some predictions: There will be no support for ogg, flac, etc. It will be DRM infested. It will not play xvid. There will be some monthly fee to Microsoft involved unlock it to it's full capacity. Lastly, this device will NOT have the much anticipated taser/stun gun feature http://users.mtrx.net/image.php?user=funnypics&ima geurl=2006%2F2006-07-06-0001%2Fcell_phone_taser.gi f&showfolder=0
So, Apple investigates itself over something that isn't exactly illegal?

Heh heh... he said "smallest of the giant dinosaurs"
Wait... if your corporate office is anything like ours, take note: WIRELESS LAGS FOR GAMES.

The author wasn't talking about this computer when he made that comment... he was talking about latops in general.
Wow, my first flamebait rating... I didn't even know AOLers used Slashdot. If not them, who did I offend?
Impressive! Who knew you could get a laptop with a Superman logo for only $4000? Barebones is around $2500.

Oh well... I guess it's good that they may actually get some treatment options for this disease. It sounds horrible. According to http://citypaper.net/articles/2005-03-03/cb2.shtm
