We're broadcasting signals to be detected in 40 billion years. Other life forms have probably existed, and will exist again, but the chances they are located anywhere near us at the same time in history are virtually nil.
To preempt typically thoughtless comments from self-appointed experts, every story on Slashdot should end with the phrase "this news is not particularly new."
Filesharing, or tape trading before P2P networks, has always been limited to a specific age range of people whose time is not yet worth the money they save by stealing music. This will be true as long as music isn't free (not something I'm advocating, BTW) so music companies should accept it and move on.
They probably made Sir Ian McKellen look older to play tired Gandalf the Grey so I doubt he'll have many problems reprising the role in The Hobbit. Gandalf the White looked pretty spry in the second half of that trilogy.
As for Gollum, you're right... there's no way they can make a CGI creation look younger.

My screensaver has volunteered to mediate if, you know, talking to computer programs would help resolve the issue.
I'm loving my Tungsten C which I picked up used on eBay last year. I turned off the handwriting recognition long ago and use the keyboard for everything. It didn't take long for me to become proficient at typing fast with my thumbs. The built-in wifi is nice too.

And here I thought this was a story about unwise dieting techniques...
It may be longer, but this project has nothing on The Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel.
Cheers to the state of Washington for banning industry freaks.
You can fire up an emulator and start with something simple like Machine Language for Beginners...
Or download the PDF of The Art of Assembly Language from the book's fugly website.
Here's an easy way to paste a letter into a form and e-mail Congress about it.

Bootleg trading, of course, is a different story.
While not necessarily a consequence of global warming it is very cool!
Very cold, actually.

Now that the HTML and CSS are all pretty how hard would it be to create a Greasemonkey script to use the runner-up's style sheet?
