According to the article you linked, a healthy human can put out a continuous 0.1 HP = 75 W. Interestingly, this would be just about right to power an original IBM PC.
Your attack won't work since DNS uses a 16-bit randomized ID on each request and rejects any response with a non-matching key. Of course some DNS servers may not check the key, but Bind does.
My guess from reading the article, is that he took:
~500 people with benign or malignant tumors, of which:
X used cell phones
500-X did not
~1,300 healthy controls, of which
Y used cell phones
1300-Y did not
and observed that X/Y > 500/1300 > (500-X)/(1300-Y)
It doesn't say anything about causality. It would be just as valid to conclude that mouth cancers cause cell phone use. Or maybe that shouting "I'm in the bread aisle" causes cancer.
Google makes its money selling ads without having to actually create its own content, so I'm not surprised that the content creators are striking back. I don't see where this creates any competition in the "op-ed and fact-checking" areas -- all of the bloggers and slashdot-type forum sites have ad-sense. Are you saying that there is a news source that is more trustworthy than the MSM? Who?

What you mean is that the Xfree86 and xorg implementations of the X server for the PC are single-threaded. I don't think there is anything in the standard that prevents X servers in general from being written differently. X clients, like browsers or window managers, are not single threaded.
The problems of being single-threaded are simple and easy to find: something hanging causes all updates to stop. The bugs that you get in multi-threaded code are generally much worse: locking problems and concurrency issues can be very hard to track down.
Access to the hardware has to be serialized anyway, so its not clear that multi-threading the server is going to result in any major improvement. It would speed up any rendering that is done in software and could be parallelized, but would not help X operations that are a single call to the graphics card.
The problem is that when Markey introduced a strong net neutrality bill in 2006 it was defeated by pro-business Republicans and pro-Hollywood Democrats. This is the best he can do. The goal of this bill is to make it clear that Comcast should not be blocking competing VOIP services, private VPN use, or any of the other things that they are doing to promote their own premium offerings. The Telcos do not want to get on the bad side of government. Look what happend to Qwest when they refused to go along with warrantless wiretaps.
When I first started writing code in the 70's there were still serious arguments about whether code could even be protected by copyrights. It wasn't until the "Pineapple" case in the early 80's that it was settled. The Pineapple contained Apple's ROM code and their claim was that you couldn't copyright binary data. They lost, of course.
Identical twins have the same DNA but different fingerprints. Some of development is due to random processes. After all, human DNA is only about 10^10 bits and much of it is non-coding. Hmmm, there's a word for that...
We have essentially created a "commons" of "free" money in the federal government. We are looting and pillaging it while ignoring the fact that the "free" money is really coming out of our own pockets. This is what enrages me about the Bush tax cut proposal. It is much the same as if your boss told you he was giving you a raise by letting you charge $1000 more on your own credit card. Are people really that stupid?

Heh. Read this.

Actually, there was just an article on the problem of poisoning DNS responses.

Setting the Avira address to localhost gets rid of the nag ads to buy the non-free version. Somebody using your computer changed the hosts file.

You can have Alberta. I'm volunteering to invade Montreal.

But in this case he paid you to drive him to the guy's house (located on Strained Analogy Place) and then home again. No force was applied.
If I lived in South Africa I would have bigger things to worry about. Like figuring out a 15,000 mile commute.
His post was partially overwritten, but advanced techniques could recover that information from the original analog keystrokes.
You frequently get phish attempts from your friends and family?
Company names, for example, always describe exactly what the company does. Just ask Cisco, Starbucks, Nike, Exxon or Avaya.
Excuse me, the song Happy Birthday is still under copyright. You now owe a licensing fee for a public performance.

Aren't you aware of the obesity problem in this country?
That's a terrible idea.
Unless it's Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup, then ok.
The closer you get to the poles the less wind you get. You have less heat differential and less rotation of the Earth to circulate the air.

my bad.
You could just ask python:
>>>"python" > "perl"
True
Whereas if you ask perl:
perl -e 'print "python" > "perl"'
It remains silent, see?
Sorry, you lose. Parrot is the virtual machine on which perl 6 will run, not a language. python will also run on parrot.
I once told someone I was a C programmer and he said "Maybe you could study".
