To quell any speculation on the legitimacy of Klaudt's claims:
Laura Malone, associated general counsel for intellectual property at The Associated Press, said names of people, companies and products cannot be protected under copyright law. Names can be protected under trademark law, but only in association with goods or services used in commerce, she said.
"Even if there was a valid trademark, the mere use of the name in a news story is not an infringement of trademark," Malone said Tuesday.
"There is no legal substance to these claims," she added.
...I thought "Gravatar" was a new theoretical exotic particle, like a Graviton, especially when used with the following "can leak", but this actually makes more sense - sort of - though I don't know if "leak" is the best verb here. In any case, I gotta stop reading science journals late at night.
Described as soggy pork, researchers believe that it can be turned into something like steak if they can find a way to 'exercise' the muscle
Better Off Ted
Episode 2: "Heroes": Phil and Lem, of Veridian Dynamics, try to grow cow-less meat... Reportedly, the meat currently tastes like "despair".
Veridian Dynamics. We're the future of food, developing the next generation of food and food-like products. Tomatoes... the size of this baby, lemon-flavored fish, chicken that lay 16 eggs a day, which is a lot for a chicken, organic vegetables chock-full of antidepressants. At Veridian Dynamics, we can even make radishes so spicy that people can't eat them, but we're not, because people can't eat them. Veridian Dynamics. Food. Yum.
Me. In a heartbeat. I'd go to Mars if the odds were at least 4:1 in my favor...
Hell, I'd go even if I knew I'd probably die en-route. It would sure be more interesting than being a sysadmin/programmer for the next N years. Plus, you'd be in the history books as "the guy who died trying to get to Mars". OK, less of a "plus", but still...
NASA's budget is already pretty small, 17.2 billion. The current stimulus plan is valued at 135.15 billion.
Which are both dwarfed by the money spent on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Not trying to start a fight, I'm just sayin'...
According to this report (pdf) by the Congressional Research Service, the "official" expenditures to date are listed as about $944 Billion, the UK Times estimated (in Feb 08) that including other things, like the cost of veteran's benefits, it has/will cost the US closer to $3 Trillion.
Gia Dvali, a quantum gravity expert at CERN, remains cautious. A few years ago he tried a similar trick, breaking apart space and time in an attempt to explain dark energy. But he abandoned his model because it allowed information to be communicated faster than the speed of light.
A 2008 quantum physics experiment performed in Geneva, Switzerland has determined that the "speed" of the quantum non-local connection (what Einstein called spooky action at a distance) has a minimum lower bound of 10,000 times the speed of light.
Sushi, and other words, are defined by how people use them. And in the US that means rice and raw fish wrapped in seaweed for 99% of the population.
Sure, thank you for bolstering my point. The title asks if the sushi is hazardous, but the story is only about the fish, not the rice or seaweed (etc)... (I'm tired and feeling a bit picky.)
Slack language is a cause and/or result of slack thinking. For example, single TV episodes advertised as "all new" or the Dodge Ram commercial that states the truck is "all brawn, all brain" - sigh.
A language that realizes that ultimately all things are futile and irrelevant, thus allowing all instructions to be reduced to a no-op.
Marklar:
"You see, young marklar. Those marklars don't care about marklar marklar. They just want to take your marklar and marklar their own marklar. The only marklar for this is to marklar."
On Windows there's also my personal favorite, Paint.NET. It does WAY more than Paint, it's fast, and it's free.
Sure. If you don't mind having to load the big honking MS.NET 3.5 framework (and its sneaky Firefox plugin) onto your system. As for Me, that's a +250 MB of crap I don't need/want on my system...
"The Iceotope approach takes liquid - in the form of an inert synthetic coolant, rather than water - directly down to the component level,"... "It does this by immersing the entire contents of each server in a "bath" of coolant within a sealed compartment, creating a cooling module."
Hmm... The Cray-2 was cooled via complete immersion in Fluorinert way back in circa 1988. I was an admin on one (Ya, I'm old). So, this is a bit different, but certainly not ground-breaking.
The problem is that enough caffeine can keep you up and mobile well past the point when you should have passed out from alcohol, resulting in you doing really, REALLY retarded things.
Examples of things to NOT do with friends at 3am after too many Red Bulls and vodka shots:
Paint your bedroom.
Call old girlfriends.
Say: "I think I need a haircut."
Think: "That Wasabi can't be that hot."
Do *anything* without your pants on - alone or (especially) not alone.
This advise is doubly important if you're also high.
"An act like this *should* haunt the perpetrators for the rest of their lives."
That is called REVENGE. Something that is not at all useful. I'd like to hope that we could evolve past this base need.
You seem to think that making this guys life harder will some how bring back the dead dude. It won't. You seem to think that this man being tortured will ease their hearts and make them happy....
I never said revenge or torture. How did you even get to that position? What is the matter with you?
I'm saying that people should remember and others should be allowed to remember the bad things done. Furthermore, the facts are the facts. They did kill someone. These people are trying to wipe the slate of their bad deeds simply because they served (part) of their time - they're on parole. This law that allows that is stupid. Perhaps the murderers can get a clean slate when the victim is no longer dead.
Allowing the facts of the matter to be posted on Wikipedia is not revenge or torture.
But in Germany, these laws are crafted so that people can have a chance at a normal life again--A chance at redemption. It is recognized that people make mistakes, but these mistakes shouldn't haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Forgive and forget? Seems pretty short-sighted. I'm not sure I'd call murder a "mistake". An act like this *should* haunt the perpetrators for the rest of their lives.
The government has stepped in to ensure that any adult citizen that has their freedom also has the same chances as the next.
Except for the guy they killed. Where's his freedom and chance?
Lastly, what about the victim's family and friends? How about their chances for normal lives without the murder of their loved-one haunting them. Some things cannot be forgiven and some things should definitely not be forgotten.
Another poster reports this as the Daily Show show I mentioned. I can't confirm from this location, but it sound correct. I've included the.com link.
Specifically it's the Oct 29, 2009 show, clip 1. At about 3:30 into the clip they start the segment "FOR FOX SAKE!". At about 7:00 in they give an example of the commentator->reporter relation.

But the organization as a whole works as one machine. What Fox NEWS is very good at is reporting the rumors started by the Fox "commentators* - "...some people say..." - and those *commentators* are very good at talking about that *news* - "...it's been reported...". Rinse and repeat.
Examples, please. Don't say that it's true and provide no evidence or you are being guilty of the exact same thing you are accusing Fox News of. In your first paragraph, you start a rumor. In your second you draw a conclusion based on the very same rumor.
A recent "The Daily Show" episode had a whole series of clips from Fox News that illustrate this point very well.

Might this new theory explain how the speed of spooky action at a distance is possible (below)?
It's hard to verify anything cause the machine just sits there and ignores everyone.
A new patent... Anyone? Anyone? Amazon? Microsoft? Bueller?
... The weather is here, wish you were beautiful.

If we're just talking about the tuna, then it's Sashimi.
Sushi is vinegar rice, topped with other ingredients, such as fish.

As opposed to elected bureaucrats, that usually only clamor about whatever will get them re-elected - sigh.
