From the article: 'Zen-like, he studies the a single mote of dust suspended inside a basketball-sized vacuum chamber for as long as 10 to 12 days.'
Correct me if i'm wrong but aren't editors supposed to check little things like that, especially when they are glaringly obvious?
Welcome to slashdot!
I'm all for company rehabilitation, and well, last i checked aohell doesn't really have the most.... sparkling reputation for doing things right, efficiently, or securely. But if this really works then i think it's a step in the right direction for them getting back to a respectable reputation.
I mean what's the worst that could happen, the filesharing is as inefficient and buggy as aol's old browsers, and the rest of the ISP's don't cooperate?
Oh wait.....
Oh no, the big bad RIAA is being silly again, howsoever shall we watch our tv now?
*plugs into a converter, pipes it through co-ax to his computer*
Wow that was hard. They need to learn the wonderful world of old technology will never allow for this to happen. Sure it may not be digital, but there will alwyas be a way to convert to a lesser standard, because the entire USA won't upgrade their TVs in an instant.
Google obviously thinks they are going to win this case or else wouldn't they want to extend googlemail to all sections of the globe? I mean aren't trademarks protected internationally, so someone couldn't just make mickey mouse entertainment somewhere in china?
All in all i think it's nothing to worry about, the UK's court systems are a TAD more sane when dealing with common sense issues....
Here's an interesting light that i don't think anyone has bothered addressing. Yes we know the authors might or might not be up in arms about this, but what about the teachers?
IF the service really works as they say, then students would be able to quickly search out phrases or texts from books, something a lot of current "educators" use as homework questions since it's pretty impossible to know where they are unless you've read the book. But hey, now we have google?
Pretty soon you'll see all schools banning google just because it's getting too useful!

So i'm suprised no one's commented on the resilliancy of the slashdot effect on slowing down, but not killing penny arcade's servers. :P
