Should part of this process be checking the URL of the submitter to make sure that it is legitimate? Does that really matter? Should we add a nofollow tag to those URLs?
No, this would be too time consuming, but beware of posters that repeatedly post bad submissions and consider banning the ones who don't have anything sincere to contribute or when 'the messenger becomes the story.'
Damned if I do, damned if I don't, right? I'm seriously looking for feedback here. What should I do with a good submission from a reader with a reputation?
If the person is a repeat Troll or Flamebaiter just ban them permanently, otherwise let them submit and let the moderations/comments fall where they may. Possibly limit the number of submissions per user if they are submitting too many, or use another person who submitted the same story instead of the repeat submitters.
Interesting Area 51 facts:
Area 51 has the longest runways in the world.
Area 51 was the test site for the U2, SR-71, B2, and F-117 aircraft.
Area 51 is heavily guarded, and can only be seen from a mountaintop 24 miles away with a high-powered telescope.
You can scavenge aircraft wreckage from around its perimeter with a metal detector and sometimes are able to see the craft name and manufacturer on some of the pieces.
Area 51 employees bury most of the wreckage of crashed aircraft on its site in order for them not to end up in public scrap yards.
Area 51 has captured Russian Mig and other Russian aircraft which they flew and tested.
Area 51 was first officially acknowledged to exist in 1995 due to lawsuit from some of its employees against the US government.
Area 51 has the largest collection of fully-functional extra-terrestrial spacecraft in our Solar System (okay, I just made that last one up.)
Unfortunately, the FX-60 doesn't blow away Intel's recently announced Pentium 955 Extreme Edition, and it's actually slightly more pricey.
Althought I understand that some people do not like Intel, I think that this will just make AMD work harder to make a faster processor. The competition between these two chip makers will ultimately benefit everyone by creating better/faster technology. That being said, $995 is a bit pricey.
Books are cheap, easy to use, don't need batteries, and are accessible to everyone through the public library. I don't see books going away any time soon.
If MS put the exact same patch on Windows Update and every granny's and PHB's computer applied it overnight, it would be equally bad publicity when millions of less-tech-inclined users wake up the next day and can't add EPS clipart to their PowerPoint presentations because the patch prevented vector graphics from working at all.
I don't think Granny or Dilbert's boss would have any clue, or need to know how to do a Powerpoint presentation. (unless of course you were referring to someone with a Bachelor's of Philosophy degree or members of the Experimental Pyschology Society?)

Insider Threat
·
· Score: 1
"But Insider Threat is one of the first to deal with one of the most significant threats to an organizations, namely that of the trusted insider. The problem is that within information technology, many users have far too much access and trust than they should truly have."
These guys are right, but how am I supposed to trust them?
The guy removes one line of code and becomes famous almost instantly. Why didn't anyone a Microsoft think of this solution? They might have been put in charge of their own security team.
".... knowing that Google will still be the only game in town for the crux of the whole thing: the ability to show every viewer the specific ads that companies will pay the most to show him at that specific moment.
What Google wants to do with these trailers is SERVE EVERY TV COMMERCIAL ON THE PLANET
because only they will be able to do it efficiently. Only they will have the database that converts those IP addresses into sales leads, only they will have the servers and disk space close enough to the viewers to feed the ads. Only Google will have the chops to run a constant, real-time auction for the next ad every consumer is about to see, and then serve that ad at the moment the program goes to commercial."
So you really want that Viagra/Valtrex/Cialis/Levitra ad to always be showing up when your new girlfriend is watching TV with you?
I would think not.
With the way memory is going up in size and down in price, everything will be automatically recorded you will be able to just delete the shows you don't like instead of spending time finding/recording the ones you do.
Either that or TV will soon become fully 'on demand' and Tivo will become just another alternative for individual viewing preferences.
They both have duplicate vulnerabilities listed in their totals.
It is also not a level playing field in the OS market.
Once more people are using Linux, it will be a more fair comparison.
The team and I spent hundreds of hours preparing for a segment that lasted about five minutes...My team picked the best and confidently presented them to Steve. True to his reputation as a perfectionist, he hated most of them....But Steve never does the demos of the pro software; he always relies on someone on the product team more familiar with its features and operation.

I am sure George Orwell's '1984', Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World', and even Bill Gate's 2005 article 'The New World of Work' would be banned as well.

How are we supposed to trust CNET's ratings now? Shouldn't they review and change their ratings to reflect its true/overall quality?
'As corporate as a blue suit'... maybe it works great in one of those corporations like Enron - looks great at first and works okay for a while, but later it comes crashing to the ground.

I believe 'captured' was the word they used on the History Channel documentary.
Area 51 on google maps

I watched a History Channel documentary on Area 51 recently titled 'History's Mysteries: Area 51: Beyond Top Secret,' it was very interesting.

Another way to get free stuff, just walk around with two of these
Quit Wining, that F-Spot just indicates you have Mono.

Kazuya Ikematsu and his colleagues anaesthetized and then killed two small groups of mice, by either strangulation with a string, or by decapitation.
This story will be 'ripped from the headlines' on the next episode of 'Law & Order: Small Victims Unit.'
Who else would use clipart so haphazardly but those two groups?

Hey, take it over-easy, at least he didn't poach anyone else's research.
I know, he gave a little benediction before he coddled his data.
Female members of his team also said Hwang coerced them to donate their own eggs for his research.
I can see him now..."Give me your eggs so I can scramble the data and we can all go down in disgrace."
So who is selling the logs and how do they get them? Can they be sued for privacy infringement?
Will proberly find the google adverts will be better quality that the actual tv programs.
But only if google employs Vulcans do the the probes.

Unless you live in China.
I guess we had a lucky batch or something, and maybe so did CNet. It's Either that or a golden sample.
I guess it also passed its pee test.

Man what a kick in the teeth!
"The new slogan is supposed to signify Intel's shift away from focusing "inside" and starting to look at platforms and solutions for the end users."
What does this sentence mean? Intel is going to make their own hardware and software now?
