It says a lot about America when anything that's unknown is assumed to be a bomb.
A blogger went through an airport recently with a USB power supply and the TSA held him for hours because they thought it was a bomb (it was a USB hookup, a few resistors, and a place for putting batteries.) - they wouldn't even let him bring his D-cell batteries on!
Here, they see electronics mounted on someone and they assume it's explosive? It's pretty much Status Quo or Death in the United States. No wonder the rest of the world has past the US in innovation.
"The survey also reveals that more women than men are bloggers, with 20% of American women who have visited blogs having their own versus 14% of men.""
Sorry, visiting blogs doesn't make you a blogger. I'm a blogger. I write blogs that are read by over ten thousand people a day - EACH. I make my living writing blogs. And if you don't, you're not a blogger - you're just a wannabe.
ScuttleMonkey, you should have put this diatribe in the Politics section. You know, the one with the *AMERICAN* flag on the header graphics. I live in Nederland and don't give a shit about the United States, and I don't want to see this irrelevancy on my front page when I've already filtered out the Politics section.
The "if you have nothing to hide" mindset is valid. If you have something to hide from the Government, and you're a good person (which I assume you are), then the law is bad, and you should fight it.
If you have something to hide and you keep hiding it, then plainly, you're just a coward. Freedom or death.
But it is true that pleading the 5th means you're guilty, but it just means that the American adversarial system has to continue and prove that you're guilty independently.
The trollish submitter demonizes Microsoft, saying that "[Microsoft] goes on to boast that the invention can 'take steps to verify ad consumption,' be used to block ads from competitors, and even sneak a peek at 'user document files, user e-mail files, user music files, downloaded podcasts, computer settings, [and] computer status messages' to deliver more tightly targeted ads."
But Google does ALL this when you use their services. What's the big difference between using a web app and a local app?
>After Fidel Castro led a revolution that toppled a friendly government in 1959, the CIA was desperate to eliminate him.
Nonsense. "The CIA" wasn't desperate to eliminate Castro, the U.S. government was, starting at the top. The CIA doesn't decide to assassinate foreign leaders without direct orders from the President of the United States.
You can still do exactly what you were doing before. You don't need permission to do those things, but this article says that people should be taking note of them because they're suspicious activities. Lacking privacy != Taking away your ability to do things.
Obviously -you- don't understand a thing about economics. I do. I have two degrees in it. Less regulated economies produce greater general utility than more regulated economies, yet you want more arbitrary regulation? This socialist "anti-trust" trite takes away Microsoft's incentive to innovate. Why do you want to punish them for succeeding?
Each player has a bag of burgers (OK, so this might not work for Negroponte's starving negros) and an OLPC. They each take a picture of themselves, and have to snap a picture of one of their burgers being forced into a competitor's mouth to get a point.
As the subject says, tag this story "phpsucks" if you agree. PHP is a notoriously insecure language, and its design philosophy from its "Personal Home Page" days still shines through, despite its later renaming.

This has been long known by traditional chinese medical practitioners, who recognized that occidental materialist medicine was doing it wrong.
Except that document compares it to a coal fired power plant. We're phasing out coal fired power plants. How does it compare to modern gas plants, hydroelectric, or nuclear power like the advanced countries of the world use?
I'm happy about all the money coming into open source. If it wasn't for Red Hat's persistent support, GNOME would have died due to its awkward choice of technologies - and without that competitive pressure, Qt would probably have stayed closed-source, so KDE would have been dead in my book too. Big money in open source is win-win.
Because on her speaking tours, she would blabber on with her fat mouth about how kids were trying too hard and that you didn't need a degree to do well.
This is all old news - it was the Slashdot post that was deceptive, not the article. Look at what that idiot Zonk put as the title "MS Requiring More Expensive Vista if Running Mac".
He could have easily made it true if it said "MS Requiring More Expensive Vista if Running MacOS". But that's Zonk, the anti-MS zealot for you.

I bet it's pretty long. When you work in the city, it's pretty damned irresponsible to live far outside of it. You're like a suburbanite, only worse.

I'm not convinced that "virii" counts as a portmanteau, which generally requires that the sound and meaning of two words are preserved.

None of the candidates with a chance of winning are anti-evolutionists. Even George W. Bush accepts evolution (see his remarks on H5N1).

Yep, because Helms was, if nothing else, a great fall guy.

So is Parallels 3.0.

You can run Vista Home Basic on a Mac with Boot Camp, if you so desire. Just not from wthin OS X.
which seems to be "Spend Mark Shuttleworth's Money". I'm sure we're all enjoying the free (as in beer, if I must) ride.
