They should set a slightly lower speed limit. This would encourage more people to work on the problem.
I think the idea here is having groundbreaking innovation. Why on earth should they lower the speed limit which is already so darn low. I mean reducing the speed limit won't reduce the physical constraints we face on earth or in space. To encourage more participation they can always increase the prize money.
There really needs to be some reform that states a company has 90 days, 1 year, or some short fixed period of time to bring a suit against a product, starting from the time it hits the market and is available to the public, the industry, or something.
but then consider this... say a joe schmo opens a coffee shop named google in timbuktu. even if google comes to know that there has been a "trademark" violation its simply not worth it for them to go after such "google"s because
a) such small violations don't cause harm to google
and b) legal costs
so they would just decide to ignore/wait. now over time our joe schmo's google might become big enough to jeopardize google's business. it'd be feasible for google to go after a violater then.
now by waiting i don't think the original patent/trademark holder did anything wrong. i mean why should the original trademark/patent holder pay the price for being lenient. i think it depends on case to case. its difficult to come up with a generic time limit to enforce legal rights.
slashdot reports on wikipedia's quality hm... first thing i wanted to check was what wikipedia said about slashdot.
Slashdot is often criticized for posting story summaries that are inaccurate and/or misspelled, and for intentionally posting articles that many find highly biased, and/or defamatory and often incite flamewars, while ignoring news or commentary on issues which outsiders may consider more serious or important (see Slashdot subculture). It is also infamous for the Slashdot effect, when thousands of Slashdot readers read an article and connect to the linked website, flooding it with unexpected traffic, and at times bringing the site down in a manner similar to a Denial of Service attack. The use of "slashdot" as a verb refers to this effect.
Well I don't see any problems with the quality of that article;)
Jokes aside for most things I've used wikipedia for, it has been a good help and is pretty accurate too. Might be just because I normally read at geeky/nerdy type of articles.
Oh come on, even the DOJ needs to make money. If companies aren't involved in these tactics who would pay to keep them running? Taxpayers? either way consumers pay the price.
apple's not about this internet bubble. mp3/music bubble... may be. the biggest gains will be to google (http://slashdot.org/search.pl?tid=217). And probably by the end of this bubble microsoft might end up being the biggest loser.

well.. one reason I can see is C#3.0 supports anonymous types (as shown in the demo). now the type has no name but you still want to be able to access members so you declare the reference as var. its different from object in that you get compile time type checking..
can't you get a kidney transplant. I mean I'm sure something like this will be more expensive probably unsafe initially as compared to a kidney transplant which has been around for a long time. And you've got a lot of time to "find" a donor.

does a blog represent a single site? If so, would that mean a couple of Google machines hosting 10,000 blogs would represent 10,000 sites?
TFA says "Hostnames". I don't think a blog can be called a hostname.
ohh!! no no i'm in the US. why move along?
Well.. since BitTorrent owns the code, can't they issue the modified code under a new license.
