Uhm.... don't diseases tend to go in the opposite direction that money does? Like aren't the poorest places in the world also the places with the most diseases.
I know this is a bit far off but it would be interesting ot see google run a tracker for legal files. If anyone they make bit torrent legit. Two years ago i never would have considered it, but given google's expansionist policies recently it sounds plausible if still unlikely
So Yahoo is using the American Civil Liberties Union to fight the French, in France over their 1st Amendmants Rights gaurenteed by the United States Contitution. Yeah I can see that going well. Do you yahoo?

Slashdot is a news site. If you post a link to a website thats 12 days old chances are its not going to have the information you expected it to have.
This has sort of happened, not at quite 5 gigabit a second. I am at a school that has Internet2 access. A couple months ago a security hole opened up in one of our unix networks. Several outside users gained root access and launched a DDoS attack against some computers at BU using the full gigabit pipe. It was fixed relatively quickly and security has since been tightened.
If I remember correctly the StrongARM was developed by Digital. They had a working prototype of what eventually became the iPaq long before they sold the tech to Intel.
How come when there is a worm or virus on Windows it is because Microsoft is grossley negligent and has no understanding of security, yet when there is a linux worm it is because of no fault of the developers but instead the fault of the 'lazy' sys admins whos machines became infected. This is flamebait, but it would be nice to have some standards on slashdot.
Right now this does not seem very likely as i don't think movie producers nessarily go with the most cost effective solutions. Often they will choose the trendiest. So its obviously trendier to hire Gucci to mkae your costumes than to contract ILM to do it. Also we can look at the public's approval of Final Fantasy to see that people aren't really ready to accept CG as a replacement to real people.
In amny ways tech support is a waste of money for the computer companies. Most people aren't very intelligent consumers. By intelligent i mean people who would pikc up a copy of consumer reports and closely analyze the the details of a brand of computers such as how good their tech support is. Instead most people will buy things based on the specs, the looks, and the price. So, for the msot part Compaq's crappy tech support doesn't hurt them, because the person who needs tech support has already paid for the product and therefore any time they spend on them represents a loss in money.
Dell is the top manufacturer of PCs, no doubt largely because of its good technical support, however the contrast in the number of sales for Dell vs Compaq doesn't correlate well with the tech support satisfaction numbers.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard The odds on these two pieces of work not being related have to be pretty slim. Its a pretty clear gameplan, XBOX2 is a "Windows Home Gateway", PS3 is a "Multimedia Home Gateway" that happens to be running linux.
You have absolutely no proof to back up these claims. Do you know HOW much research IBM does? Here is a list of research products [ibm.com]. Thats about 400 different projects that IBM is currently working on. Given the amount of projects I'de say there is a greater probability that they're NOT related. Except that they both involve parallel processing.
Well actually, the first amendment is freedom of speech, so you are actually trying to justify your statement with evidence that actually supports the opposite of your statement.
I'm sure alot of you will first respond by saying thats impossible. But you're wrong. There are no laws of physics that say its is impossible to block gravity. At this point we no so litle about gravity that it is difficult to make any conclusions about it. Some elementary electromagnetism courses will teach you about faraday cages, which block electromagnetic radiation. Pretty much everyone has experienced this. Ever walk into a concrete building and lose cell phone reception? This is because the concrete is reinforced with steel bars which form a kind of metalic cage around you, this is a faraday cage. Now like electromagnetism, gravity is one of the four fundamental forces. If we can create a shield to block one of them why not block gravity?
Uhm not really, video games have definitely messed with my ability to drive. After playing a little too much GTA3 recently I went out driving. As I was going down the road I noticed a cop coming in the other direction. It took a lot to stop myself from swerving over into the other lane just to see what would happen if I hit the cop car.
ALright, let me first say that i don't approve of many of the actions of the record companies. But many people here go off about how the record companies abuse their control over the musicians, because the musicians don't get much money from the price of a single CD. This is all very true, the record companies do get the majority of the moeny from a CD sale, but they also spend loads of money on alot of these artists. I'm not sure of the exact price that it takes to put together a music video, but i imagine its in the millions, now the artists themselves sure as hell don't pay these costs. Also the record company has to promote songs and albums by paying radio stations and MTV to play them. Most popular musicians today owe all of their fame to a record company. It is these 'evil' companies which have talent scouts that go around searching for potential stars. I admit that there are a few very talented musicians that could make it big in the country by their skill alone, but these people are few and far between. For the most part it is the record companies that makes these people stars.
This post does focus largely on the company's efforts to promote big stars like Britney Speares, N'Sync, and other large pop stars. But it still applies to almost anyone artist who is picked up bya record label.
I'm not usually a big anti microsoft guy, but from my point of view (IE zero experience in marketing) this seems like a stupid decision. Microsoft has been spending ac rap load of money in this country to combat piracy. American piracy is nothing compared to Chinese piracy. its like comparing communism and capitalism... Oh wait it IS comparing capitalism and communism.
Yes yes i know that china has had an open door policy for a while now as far as foreign markets go and yes there are thousand of american companies making money there. The point i'm really trying to get across is that the market in china would be much different than it is here. Computers are not very prominent in most people's lives there. The biggest market i can see this in is the business market there.
I think this is a little different than speeding... Speeding is illegal because doing it is potentially dangerous, not because the driver of the car may be going so fast that there is no road left over for other. And if someone is downloading something at high rates, its not like an exceptionally fast packet is going to swerve out of controll and injur someone
ACtually you're an idiot there has been a 64 bit version of windows since 1993, its called windows NT and it was jointly developed by DIGITAL and Microsoft for the Alpha processor. ALthough Microsoft no longer supports the Alpha processor there was an unreleased version of windows 2000 made for it. DIGITAL did make a 64 bit version of UNIX before NT came out, so yes you are infact right in some manner. But there was only a few year difference
If i were you i'de jsut invest in an In-Dash MP3 Player, they're not that expensive. It give you the freedom of selecting your own music and over the long run it will actually save you money.
You guys can bash Microsoft as much as you want, but frankly who cares. Microsoft has developed some of the most successful marketing schemes in history. And don't even bother comparing Gate's monopoly to Rockafellar's. Gates doesn't kill people he just puts pressure on other companies
Now most people know that all fo jupiter's moons are named after mortal chicks that Zeus scored with. He was a pretty damn big pimp. He was the Clinton of the Gods, but even he didn't score with 40 mortal womens.... I mean damn 39
Many people here on slashdot don't seem to understand that linux CANNOT compete with Windows on the desktop market. MS has been in this business for a long time. They have spent billions of dollars on research and public opinion polls. They know what the people want more than any linux distro does. The best linux can do is to copy them, steal their ideas. I imagine that the people at Redhat have realized this and thus aren't trying to go for the windows population, instead they go for people who they know already use linux.

Actually linguistics is the study of language. Grammar is the rules for a language, thought it does not have to be constant.
