Agreed, there is a clear distinction and it matters between OS and Broswer. I don't get why this guy would say otherwise, since Google Chrome isn't neither Mac nor Linux ready.
Hey everyone, I've gotten access to test out Google Spreadsheet and I gave it a run this morning. I posted about it here, including some screenshots and my experieneces using it and trying to upload a old spreadsheet of mine. You can read about it here, Previewing Google Spreadsheet.
I support Adrian Lamo's decision to not give his DNA. Not that I'm a government conspiracist, but DNA is yours, what does the government have to do with it? Why does the government need it? I think this sounds like people are looking for a genetic profile of a hacker/genius/criminal. Sounds wrong to me on so many levels.
I say so because about two months ago researchers published a research article on gene called MAOA. Trying to find a gene that expresses violence, deviance, or genius sounds a lot like the work of Cesare Lombroso and Enrico Ferri, who both researched the anatomy of 'criminal' brain in the early 1900s. They concluded the criminal brain is more primitive and less developed; even going as far as to say they are ape-like. With that conclusion, they stated that humans are born criminals, and there was no way to avoid criminal behavior. I am concerned about this because this sort of demand for Lomo to give up his DNA seems like research that will not factor in the socialization and enculturation process whatsoever.
Furthermore, just because you committed a crime and gave up a lot of your 'social and civil rights' like voting, doesn't mean you're dehumanized to the point that you do not have decisions over your own body. I know there are exceptions, in the United States, for my statement... specifically in relevance to capital punishment; but Adrian Lamo is not going down that route.
P.S. as you can tell, I thoroughly oppose solely looking at biological determinism to define and describe human behavior.
P.P.S. I know Lomo agreed to give his DNA in other forms, but I think he shouldn't!
We have nothing to worry about at anthropology.net, as far as having Google handle the mail. Having Google take control of my email saves a huge burden on me, because I believe they offer a much more secure option. That is they
have an SSL encrypted login for webmail, my current web host does not
offers POP and Webmail, without any configuration on my behalf
backups! my host does daily back ups of everything but my mail, and who knows if my users back up their personal mail folders
Spam trap, smam trap. While I do see spam come in, I find it more effective to have a catch all email acount than not. I have noticed people send legimate emails to email addresses that I have not created that would be lost to me, otherwise.
It is much more easy to setup spamassasin, clam av, and my mail client to filter out the spam and unwanted email, than to setup frustration for people emailing me.
I gave it a try for my domain, anthropology.net, and aside from somewhat of a hurdle getting my registrar to use Google's MX records, I have nothing but praise for the GMail hosting service. It really offers me and my site a professional web mail service.
Although, I must say I swapped back out because they don't seem to have a catch-all email feature, like *@anthropology.net
I would like to see the scientific journals, especially The Public Library of Science (PLoS) http://www.plos.org/ start distributing their montly publications over Bit Torrent. There have been occasions of downloading their 150mb journals where there servers and bandwidth were clearly overwhelmed.
It would, in my opnion, be a great front to publicize excellent and FREE scientific articles as well as popularize and legitmize bit torrent as a cost effective and fast way to distribute content.
Unfortunately race is now only a social construct... A more definite term for the Jews in Ethiopia is that they are a separate ethnic group with a different cultural and genetic backgrounds.
Even though I've visited Slashdot for what seems like 7 years now, this is the first time I'm commenting. I'm commenting because this article couldn't come at a more prime time.
The organization I work with got the Sober worm, filling up our mailboxes expontentially. Even though we are primarily a Mac house, some indidividuals probably accessed our mailserver with Windows based mail clients (at home?) and perhaps facilitated the spread of this virus.
It sure is a nasty one. I wrote a procmail recipe to block out.zip files, to no avail... it seems to still slip on thru for some odd reason. As much as I tried to get our server's host to help us curb the problem, they would push their current marketting ploy.
I'm kinda lost, with a growing procmail folder with the isolated emails (roughly 4gb in size now) -- and some like (100 emails a day) slipping thru. I've emailed all users suggesting removal tools like Stinger but still!
Anyone have some proactive suggestions? Would ClamAV prevent this from perpetuating on the server-side?
We are currently wasting bandwidth and people time to indugle ourselves in a server side solution.

This link, "Announcing a two year Neandertal genome decoding project" links to several science blogger's take on this anouncement including a definited Neandertal sequencing post by John Hawks.
