Given that they are building a giant data center on the Colombia River to take advantage of cheap (but not cheap on the environment) hydro power I propose the following new slogan something along the lines of the following:
"Download a movie (YouTube), kill a salmon."
Perhaps someone else could make it catchier, but you get the idea.
Would you rather google killed the salmon (hydro), the atmosphere (coal), or use the ever-feared nuclear power? Until the PL6 or PL7 technology shows up, Google using hydro and solar power whenever they can seems to be a good thing.
The telecom that I work for (which will remain unnamed) offers a cell phone without a camera. In fact, after perusing 3 other major cell providers, they do too. Most major phone companies realize that a cameraphone is not for everyone.
Taking google's property would be unwise for Brazil. All google would have to do is respond by blocking all brazil ips for all google services. The userbase would probably be more pissed at Brazil government than google.
I consider myself as having more ethics than the average. I am a Christian (yeah, hold your slams, that's not the point). I try to live consistent with what Christianity teaches.
Funny. So were most of the original test subjects in Milgram's 1963 experiments. This stands an an irrelevant comment except to basically brag about how you feel morally superior to most people -- and then you have the sheer, unmitigated gall to ask that people "hold [their] slams." That's Pride. We are all sinners; remember that, and you'll do far better as a Christian than to parade around like a Pharisee waving your religiousity around like it's a badge, proclaming that you have "more ethics than average."
Maybe he was just trying to explain his moral background with a couple words rather than explaining his entire moral code. Next time, hold the slam.
Starship Troopers (the book) actually begins with an infantryman heading to a target zone with that same procedure. They also had chutes, jetpacks, and all sorts of fun toys.
Star Trek Generations (again, the book) also has Kirk doing a similar stunt.
I, for one, hope the hobbyists never get bored, and help make some of these things we've read in stories a reality (I bet you were expecting an overlord joke with the starter, weren't you? Sorry to disappoint...)
Well, it could also be that the backups are done monthly, they put a significant amount of data on the server between cycles, and thus they would not be able to restore this latest data with the backup. But IMHO, except defending your country, there is no job really worth dying for.
It's modded flamebait because there was no reason to have to say this was the fault of Bush, even in the roundabout fashion that he did. It's the propagation of Godwin's Law now. We know everyone hates Bush now as much as we all hate Hitler... So really, stop putting it into every topic.
Godspeed is a nominalization of the phrase God speed (you), understanding which depends on two things: speed in this sense means 'to prosper; succeed', which is now archaic, but which is the original sense of the word; and the verb is subjunctive, expressing a wish, with the entire phrase meaning "may God cause you to succeed." Semantic parallels are such common expressions as God bless you or God forbid!; another nominalization is goddamn (as in "I don't give a good goddamn what you think"), shortened from God damn you. http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=1 9980129
So Goddamn you for nitpicking something as simple as a phrase which in this day and age is just the same as saying "Good Luck."
No, the problem with this is tracking what is actually an ICBM and what is human transport. Getting shot down upon re-entry is not cool. Starting WWIII because you forgot to file a flight plan is even less cool.
Our favorite engineer from Star Trek TOS got an honorary engineering degree as well, didn't he?
Found it! From the wiki:
Scotty's exploits as the redoubtable Chief Engineer aboard the Enterprise inspired many students to pursue a career in engineering. Because of this the Milwaukee School of Engineering granted Doohan an honorary degree in engineering.
I'm in the same boat minus stumbleupon. Just no spam and my box has been open for over a year. Maybe it is because I don't use that email to sign up to different websites...
You can buy G5 computers with no OS on them, just not from apple. I forgot where you can buy it from though, but I do remember seeing the adverts in a linux magazine and one of the gentoo newsletters.
The simple solution is to place a scarecrow in your driveway holding a mock shotgun. Of course, the sound of engines idling down and then suddenly revving as they drive off will continue to be a problem.
Let me start with the fact you are such a W.I.M.P. that you won't even stand up to your own ideas (AKA: putting your name on your post)
Or the fact that you have directed your distaste for the Iraq war at completely the wrong people.
Don't like the war? Do not take it out on the soldiers, sailors, marines, or airmen; we did not ask to go to war, we did not ask to go to Iraq, take it out on the man that gave the order to do it. G.W. should be the brunt of your comments, my brothers in arms and I are just following orders
We did not swear an oath to bring freedom to the world, we swore an oath to protect the constitution of the United States ageist all enemies foreign and domestic.
So please, lay off the "sanctioned murders" crap and carry on with your life knowing that you can say that because the blood for my forefathers was shed to insure you have the freedom of speech.
BTW: you will notice I am willing to take a karma hit for my ideas, AND a lot more too.
For posting with your real name, for serving your country, and for being a reasonable person on slashdot, I salute you.

40% is people that don't want a permanent record made of their every move when they cheat on their wife or go out to buy porn.
Simple solution:
Don't cheat on your wife and what the hell are you doing buying porn?!?
Actually, it still is a line, just not a straight one.

Way to prove the corollary to Godwin's law.
P.S. There is a world of difference between evil and stupid. I'll give you points for the good list though.

No, but they will have to do more than run around in baggy trenchcoats that make them look bigger than they really are.

Oh, Yeah. Godspeed!
You could also tell the mines: "The war is over. Return to base."
I personally, will not be at the base that day, however. Let me know how it works by mail, not in person.
EGA would be 16 colors, and in that day and age, it would not have been on CD, but likely 5.25" floppys.
Random observation:
For not being a fan of "The Big N" as you call it, you seem to know quite a bit about them.
No, the problem with this is tracking what is actually an ICBM and what is human transport. Getting shot down upon re-entry is not cool. Starting WWIII because you forgot to file a flight plan is even less cool.
All you have to do is right click... oh, nm
Yes, spying on the russian underground cable. Nice piece of work. So was the plaque on the side stating "Property of the USA"

The only people arrested fined would be the persons who stole the data and the persons who broke their oaths/nda agreements.
