Why did you do it, Sun, why? Oh well, back to AJAX, where the "J" should have been short for "Java".
New Yorkers who blithely cross the street listening to an iPod or talking on a cell phone could soon face a $100 fine... they're walking into speeding buses and moving automobiles. It's becoming a nationwide problem.
The problem, says Davies, is the limited accuracy of biometric systems combined with the sheer number of people to be identified. The most optimistic claims for iris recognition systems are around 99 per cent accuracy - so for every 100 scans, there will be at least one false match.
This is acceptable for relatively small databases, but the one being proposed will have some 60 million records. This will mean that each person's scan will match 600,000 records in the database, making it impossible to stop someone claiming multiple identities. - new scientist
Please can someone design one of those standard forms for these bogus ID schemes - like the one with all the reasons why anti-spam technologies won't work.

If you ever feel the urge to imitate any of these people, try signing your name by pissing in the snow instead. That is more impressive and demonstrates more skill.
I reported a website selling downloads of Microsoft software and Microsoft did absolutely nothing. The website is still up! Instead, they want to fry a school teacher.
Sure you did. So why didn't you include a link in your post? Microsoft read Slashdot too, you know. Just type:
<a href="URL of site">the evil site I invented</a>
I too create sites where people can control content, and do interesting things, Personally I would be angry at being subjected to an attack like this - but after it had been cleaned up and I was calm again I would be genuinely greatful.
You seem to have forgotten them in your original post.
"Obviously he [Jack Thompson] didn't mention anything to the police department about his "Modest proposal" in which he asks that a game be developed in which players urinate on peoples brains and murder kids who work at game stores. He never mentions that he offered ten thousand dollars to charity and then said it was just "satire." He doesn't tell the police chief that Jerry and I just donated the ten thousand for him. I wonder why he left that part out?" - Penny Arcade

Counterfeit goods [like this fake sea smell] is a crime that is seen as victimless by many but it is in fact a destructive and potentially deadly criminal activity.
The real environmental issue is, from the article:
Vista requires more expensive and energy-hungry hardware, passing the cost on to consumers and the environment
I don't think anyone could seriously argue with that. But assuming most people don't upgrade until they would have bought a PC anyway, the following claim is exaggerated:
There will be thousands of tonnes of dumped monitors, video cards and whole computers that are perfectly capable of running Vista - except for the fact they lack the paranoid lock down mechanisms Vista forces you to use.
Some contest sponsors provide a check to cover taxes, but that income is also taxable.
If a company tries to award a tax-paid prize, it can never do so, because each time it pays off the tax this leads to extra tax being owed.
Therefore, Zeno might say, the swiftest accountant can never overtake the tax man. Thus, while common sense and common experience would hold that a company can pay its taxes, according to the above argument, it cannot; this is the paradox.
This system relies on whitelisting to handle companies like yours. Hence you'll need to spend more on ISP relations. Big bulk-mailers can more easily afford this so they will gain at the expense of competitors.
BTW this system won't work because the author's assumptions are wrong. Botnet senders can easily afford all the following suggested countermeasures. I expect they'll carry on as normal. Then, if blocklisted, switch over to DDOSing the the STP servers until the blocklisting is removed again.
How spammers can fight the STP server
1. By slowing down message rates for each source
2. By limiting the number of messages sent by each source
3. By feeding STP server with useless noise
4. By DoS-ing the STP server(s)
Writing in the Journal of Environmental Health, Bitton and colleagues said they soaked sponges and scrubbing pads in raw wastewater containing fecal bacteria such as E. coli, viruses, protozoan parasites and bacterial spores.
Seems to me that only very stupid people would follow these instructions.
IMHO a better way to sterilise a sponge is as follows:
Place sponge in a large, empty drinking mug
Pour boiling water over it from a kettle and dunk it a few times using a spoon
Place a small plate or saucer over the mug to retain the steam

Strange but true: With Windows server account validation you need a CAL per account, so parent's alleged approach of matching a registered domain could save money. This system could replace certificates too.
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server 20 User CALs Only $189 to $650
Register domain name as low as $3.95/year

The police couldn't possibly over-react to all these "terrorist hoaxes", so they'd have to develop common sense.

Intellectual property theft is an enormously damaging economic and cultural crime and linked with terrorism.

Why grow plants that produce sugar, then convert it to something like oil, then convert this it to fuel. Talk about doing things the hard way!
Wouldn't it be simpler for farmers to grow a crop, such as sunflowers or rape, which produce oil that you can mix straight into your fuel tank?
Using vegetable oil as a diesel fuel
...is to omit your business name from the "From" and "Subject" of your emails.
Almost nobody opens emails from "personal" addresses when they don't know the person. Trust me in this, it's my job.
