"After Angelina Jolie, the wireless portable e-mail device is the thing every business leader wants by his side at the annual World Economic Forum, where hundreds of chief executives, dozens of heads of state and the odd celebrity couple gather to discuss world woes and corporate trends."
And some of those business leaders wanted Brad Pitt even more. Oh woe is the world.
Sorry, but please save your political arguments to a political topic
What I was trying to say was that people can criticize something without having fear or being intimidated from speaking up. I have no political agenda here except free thought and speech.
If it is your goal to make profits through a global Capitalist system, whether you do evil or not goes out the window?
What would happen to Google if they suddenly decided to withdraw from China?
I wonder if Microsoft and other companies would gain a significant competetive advantage just for being available to a large part of the world's population?
"...the blog community, it gives me an opportunity to begin a dialogue with an extremely politically sophisticated and active community that I otherwise might not be able to reach,' Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., wrote
Come to think of it, I have been seeing alot of this guy "ß/\®/\|{" on Slashdot lately.
Duncan Harris, senior director of security assurance for Oracle, said in an interview with SecurityFocus. "What David Litchfield has done is put our customers at risk."
This is the same argument that the Bush Administration used when the NYTimes published their story about how Bush & Co. are conducting domestic spying operations in the US. Bush & Co. said this story should not have been published because it makes us less safe.
So instead of acknowledging your shortcomings or wrongdoing, you blame the messenger. This is not very fair in my opinion.
Why doesn't Oracle just acknowledge the problem and then fix it?
Today, I travel a bit more prepared for situations like the one I encountered at Nanny's house. I have 512MB memory stick with me in my briefcase that includes a copy of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, the latest beta of Windows AntiSpyware and the current month's release of the Malicious Software Removal Tool.
Sounds like a good recommendation - how about shipping Vista with a flash drive with the latest security software on it, with a short guide on how to use it and how to disinfect your PC?

I agree, the Earth is warming and humans are most likely exacerbating the problem. It is unfortunate that people deny that Global Warming is happening when most of the world's top scientists say that it is. As an earlier post noted, it may be too late for humans to actually do anything about in the short term. Maybe in the long term we will be more Earth-friendly, that is if were are still around to make that choice.
But if there ever was a post deserving 'Flamebait' I guess it is my post about the time in geologic history when Earth almost on fire.
I have gotten a 'Where's George' and an 'I Grew Hemp' dollar bill.
Apparently George was growing Hemp to help alleviate the side effects of treatment for certain infectious diseases. Man that guy was so ahead of his time.
Hey Lookie! Another article with an actual PICTURE!
The second picture of the fish shows that it is partially transparent. So not only has it evolved and survived because it is so small, but also because it is almost invisible.
He does not expect the program to cannibalize viewing for the Fox series or other "Family" brand extensions like DVD.
This sentence is wrong in so many ways.
Besides, if we wanted cannabalize viewing we would just watch the Discovery Channel. But then again, to release something in different formats at the same time is an interesting idea.
Scientists have discovered the world's smallest fish on record in an acidic peat swamp in Indonesia Ironically, all his friends just like to call him 'Shrimp'
'with a see-through body and a head that is unprotected by a skeleton'
Which one are you referring to, Paris Hilton or Nicole Richie?
It's tiny, it lives in acid and it has these bizarre grasping fins.
Are you sure you weren't talking about your last 'Phish' concert?
"the males have enlarged pelvic fins and exceptionally large muscles that may be used to grasp the females during copulation"
Does size really matter?
"You don't wake up in the morning and think today we will find the smallest fish in the world,"
Well I guess you haven't been fishing much at my local pond lately.
And finally...
You can never tell any 'fish stories' because this is always going to be the 'one that got away.'
Slashdot Mirror
When I saw the headlines I thought someone had found Egyptian Hieroglyphs from aliens explaining how to break into OSX.
They did!
Don't you remember the beginning of The 5th Element?

avoid a lawsuit
I wonder if this kind of fine will start making companies more secure?
Make Wikipedia or another Dictionary the default home page and then people can immediately start searching and learning about the world.

But sorry, the robots I support are http://www.realdoll.com/ :-)
Are you primarily supporting them with the matrix stiffness method?
Or are you using another structural element that carries a load?
PETER, you know, People for the Ethical Treatment of Entertaining Robots?
Rumour has it that these Sony products have rootkits in them that can be remotely accessed to initiate a horrific self-destruct sequence.
The Linux kernel has _always_ been under the GPL v2. Nothing else has ever been valid.
Nothing to see here, please move along.
A more interesting question for me is, why would someone make up such an obvious pack of lies and for what reason?
I am not sure, maybe you can ask the guys who wrote such glowing reviews of 'Doom'
That was a sample from 0.0033% of the population of the UK.
I was wondering if the numbers would differ if the survey could evolve into one that samples a larger number of people?
Of course, I do understand that getting people to respond to surveys is so hard that you almost need Divine Intervention.

If the RIAA had its way, it would deem that even owning a computer is violating their copyrights.
Know what else was missing? Humans.

The Hadean Eon were the hottest years of the Earth. It is theorized that it was over 1000 degrees Celsius in surface temperature.
Paris Hilton was quoted as saying, "That's hot!"
Incidentally no SUVs, chemical plants, aerosol cans or overclocked processors were found at the scene.

The 'br' element
The br element is a simple one, yet used on so many pages that it is the 8th most-used element. It is used more than the p element.
clear, style, class, soft, id, and \.
Wow! I never knew you guys were that popular.

This is a world that speaks RDF, RSS and Dublin Core. If you already speak that dialect of geek, this is your chapter.
Great, now I am going to have to buy several other books just to be able to read this one chapter.
