In the spring of 2008, scientists will get another chance to look at Enceladus when Cassini flies within 350 kilometers (approximately 220 miles), but much work remains after Cassini's four-year prime mission is over.
We need a closer look, but it would be interesting to gather some samples of this water and see if it contains microorganisms of any kind.
SecurityFix: so did you just download the source from some site and set it loose?
Witlog: yes

Witlog: thats all

Why can't Microsoft push out its security fixes like this???
"I love working at Microsoft but cannot stay in an environment where I am treated shabbily and afforded no opportunity to defend myself against such treatment."
So are we to deduce that this person at one point loved working in an environment where they were treated shabbily and could not defend themselves? Or they did not know this was the culture at Microsoft and later found out the hard way?
The whole quote about favouritism in reviews (unfortunately) rings true about many companies, not just Microsoft. My advice is if you are unhappy - leave, no one is forcing them to work for Microsoft. And it might just be the best move of your life.
Enter Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican priest, who came to power in Florence in 1494. He viewed all of this "humanism" as vanity, turning people's heads away from the word of God and true religion. He took a very severe stand against the new scholarship, culminating in a series of bonfires in the town square, where many great works of art and science were lost. These fires have come to be known as the "Bonfire of the Vanities."
Like Savonarola, Richard Stallman takes a similarly religious stance on software development, rather than a practical one. For Stallman, the concept that software be "free, as in freedom" is the only concern in the creation of software.
At first, I was thinking that Stallman, was the opposite of someone like Savonarola, since he encourages 'freedom' in software creation and not adhering to strict rules or religion. And freedom should include the freedom to create any software you like, totally free or hybrid - though this is not exactly what Stallman envisioned. But of course, all this 'freedom' could lead to something altogether different - 'not free' code and this could not be named 'public.'
I do not see the point of this person's article, except to stir up bad feelings against Stallman. Maybe since the guy works for the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT), he has an agenda to push - creating disdain for the concept of free software? ACT doesn't like OpenOffice, so they probably do not like Stallman either.
The various phishing shields use a variety of techniques to protect against the online scams. These include blacklists of known fraudulent Web sites, white lists of good sites and analyses of Web addresses and Web pages. Firefox 2 might be different, since the developers aren't married to those approaches, Shaver said.
Verisign already has this kind of techology, the question is, will Firefox 2 make Verisign obsolete?
Verisign's advice: The best way to avoid becoming a victim of phishing is to never respond to unsolicited emails asking for personal information or directing you to a Web site where you are asked to enter personal information--even if it looks TOTALLY official.
You sir, have a lot more willpower than I do. I have reduced my TV watching, but not quit altogether.
Giving up TV must be hard for the first month, after that, I guess that you will find time to do other things. I do enjoy watching Mythbusters, G4 CinemaTech, Lost and the Science Channel.
The evolution of the PC continues, and a challenge to the PSP. If it does everything it says it can do well and the price is lowered a bit, it will sell.
I am not trying to tell people to not watch TV, in fact I watch TV.
I just wonder what people (slashdot readers specifically) would think would happen if everyone could not watch TV/movies/internet for a year. I am not trying to tell you what to do in your free time. Please, watch TV, movies, use the internet, play music, whatever tickles your fancy - its your life. I just wanted to know what people thought. Mod me off-topic I guess.
Imagine what the world would be like if everyone on this planet could not watch TV/movies/internet for a year.
Would there be mass rioting? Revolution? Abundant creativity and ingenuity? People losing weight and getting active? People interacting with their neighbours? People going outside once in a while?
TiVO may have stopped their lifetime subscription, but in the long run, with all the other options out there for entertainment, it is not really a big deal.
We should ensure that, no matter what happens, we have taken care of our responsibilities such that, in the event of our departure, our clients and employers can continue to function normally.
Well, if you are dying, you may have other priorities in your last days. The above quote might be relevant if you own or run a company, but not for the average Joe.
Most people would not think twice about quitting their boring jobs and actually try to enjoy the last hours of their lives.
The identity verification process of many land registry offices leaves a lot to be desired.
But if you desire that lot, you will gladly accept the risk.

Bill gates is not penalized by wasting time.
Yes, but he could wrench his back doing that, and that might prevent him from attending Vista's launch party - which is worth more to him than money itself.
First of all, there are no instructions which is unfortunate.
I tried slashdot.com and got results including digg.com (most relevant) all the way to cnn.com, twit.tv and palminfocenter (not that relevant.)

That's nothing, it has been calculated that Bill Gates makes $2500.00 a SECOND!
By this reasoning, he would never even click on this link, in fact, it would not even be worth his time to pick up a $100.00 bill if someone dropped it in front of him.
Obviously such a robots could have plenty of useful applications, in search-and-rescue and space exploration, for example. But presumably it could also help you reach those really hard-to-prune branches.
Or put a moveable camera on its head, make it climb your neighbor's house, and you will have the perfect 'Creeping Tom.'
For someone sitting on the fence (as described above), I thought the authors would have tried to harder to convince that the supposed "progressive revolution" isn't just more of the same.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog. Money is the root of all evil, etc. etc. etc.
FIRST and FOREMOST, take out the corporate money, you will get better leaders that aren't solely out to make a buck for their buddies who run the corporations and the military-industrial complex.
But in a 'capitalist' economy and consumerist-society, does anyone actually believe that will happen or even work?
True Progressives do not have a voice in today's government - they are only heard in obscure, online blogs. And if you want to initiate REAL change and start a 3rd party, FORGET ABOUT IT! The current government will make rules to prevent you from even getting a 3rd party on the ballot.

Bill, can I be confident that Vista will not have any security holes?
Yes you can, just make sure you buy Vista Ultimate. It is the best one that we offer.
