Any such network would be the target of infiltration by commercial entities - they know that most people don't trust most of what they hear, so if they could get onto a network where statements are trusted more than most in the public eye they'd jump on it for higher advertising effectiveness.
Wait, you guys were told that the woman was being mistreated? Wierd. The newspapers in Australia reported that a group of US Soldiers busted into the hospital, handcuffing and locking up doctors, nurses and patients and waving their guns around until they found her and rushed her out. The Iraqi soliders had left over a day earlier. They also reported that the doctors had tried to bring her back to the American lines, but the car they were coming in was fired upon and they had to turn around. How much of that was reported?
Because they just can't resist any opportunity to drag their reputation through the mud. It does seem, however, that in this case they've decided to take it one step further and have moved on to dragging it through low-grade manure.
That's actually a relatively simple problem if it has a list of types of flies (through being given it or having mined it). If it doesn't, it would struggle just as much as a human who wasn't aware of the existence of fruit flies would.
Hmm, you may want to take a look at the sentence just under the title. While it says that it was posted to the front page by Hemos (which sorta destroys your title), you might also note that this is a journal page - it's a commentary, much like a column in a newspaper.
This isn't news. But then, it was never supposed to be - if we only pay attention to what has just happened, we end up with very short-term memories. This is not the kind of thing which should be dropped when the newest shiny thing comes along.
If one codes in a way he's personally comfortable with, he can get the job done even if it involves a not globally ideal technology like XML, but when working methods are pushed down by above with no consideration for individual needs, that's dangerous.
Within reason, of course. If your code looks like this:
if( yes->strong ) yes->weak->run(fast); b = when->walrus(); b.helloWorld(); delete b;
And it's suppose to be a generic method to manage mouse-clicks, the manager has some cause for complaint (and the rest of the team are likely looking to murder you the next time you nod off at your desk).
I ended up keeping Flash uninstalled in Firefox, my standard browser, and installing Flash into Internet Explorer for when I'm sure I want to watch something. Having to boot up IE whenever I want to watch watch/use something Flash-based is not totally convenient, but it does have the advantage that you miss a reasonable number of ads.
Eh, AI can be applied relatively easily with a little bit of work. When I studied AI, my lecturer created a 2D virtual environment, and we had to write agents in LISP which could explore, gather food (for utiles), stave off predators and do it faster than the agents that other people had written, in a variety of scenarios. Good fun.
Or better yet, see if you can find where the Industrial Design students hang out. You can either chat with them or even pay one to design it for you - most of the time, the competition for jobs in the field is fierce, so you should be able to pay a graduate student peanuts for reasonably good work.
I would say that's a touch unfair on Network Ten. They were broadcasting an unscripted show live at (if memory serves me) something like 3am - as much as I don't like reality TV, I don't really see how they could do much about it, other than what they did. As I understand it, the stuff also happened off-camera, and as far as I know, they've not rebroadcast it at any stage other than when it was live.
What a terrible article to link on the issue. It has next to nothing to say about any kind of regulation of online content other than that content broadcast live online is not covered by current laws. It seems quite sensible to bring this in line with other laws governing online content - it's what those other laws are which is the sticking point.
The relevent federal minister's statement on the events can be found here - a link I found in a good blog post (on the news site linked in the summary) here. I would say that this is a classic case of governmental over-reaction and bumbling misunderstanding, but you can't really tell that from the article linked in the summary. In fact, I would say that the real fallout from it hasn't been seen yet - we'll see what legislation brings.
This isn't the story about him waking up, this is a story on the ongoing research on how he woke up, which is far more interesting than reporting on some statistical fluke.
In fact, you could probably get to a site with direct downloads of pirated mp3s within 'a few clicks' from the IPFI's site. If this kind of justification is sufficient, maybe they should just sue the entire internet.
Frickin' finally.
This is possibly the best possibly future for the public space agencies - fund research and development through a combination of grants and prizes, and not actually work on the problems themselves. They've done good work in the past, but they've simply become too large and inefficient, and that's exactly what privitisation is best at combating.
This is very good news for people looking towards the future of space exploration, exploitation and colonisation
Bleck. The problem I've run into when trying to point this out has always been that when people hear the word fascism, they expect the specifics of the two most well-known fascist nations in history. They say "We don't have secret police or a dictator" (although perhaps both those claims are disputable). Well, yeah, but that's not what fascism is. Fascism is exactly how the US currently works: An authoritarian, extreme right-wing (by most nations' standards) nation which has a significant proportion of its economy dominated by the military.
Perhaps we need a new word to describe this type of state because of the loaded content behind the old one, in the hopes that people will begin to understand where they stand.
Dont you just love getting things around the wrong way. So much for an attempt at insight. Still, with company like Colbert, I guess it's not too bad. Oh, and that US leader-guy.
In other news, in Jailand, a nation with a rate of imprisonment of people who later turned out to be innocent which recently topped 45%, a police spokesman commented that as the rate was below 50%, the police force was still doing more harm than good.

Psychopathy. Entirely seriously.
A few examples from the linked diagnosis tool: Conning/Manipulative, Callous/Lack of empathy, Parasitic lifestyle.
White collar psychopathy, possibly the most dangerous threat in existence (after all, guns don't kill people...).

So...in the case of the home-grown British rail bombers, who should they have attacked? Themselves?
I can only assume that this was moderated funny because there's no +1 frickin' scary moderation option.

"hide"
v. hid, (hd) hidden, (hdn) or hid hiding, hides
v. tr.
To prevent the disclosure or recognition of; conceal.
There's your problem. Use the adjective application of the word instead - it makes much more sense in this context.

That's as far as I can tell, anyway - admittedly my knowledge on internation politics isn't crash hot.

Except the president of the IFPI is a Brit. Don't worry, yanks don't have a monopoly on stupid - the rest of the world certainly has its fair share.

The first time that someone accidently blogs sensitive company/military information without realising it is going to be hilarious.
