It could revolutionize the breaking news market. Anywhere there's cell service, we could have breaking news uploaded to YouTube. Can you imagine, a sort of cluster, of cell phone users, uploading their perspective of a major news story? Why trust CNN, when you can get it from Sally and Joe Sixpack with a phone?
There are only about 2 recycling points for computers in my entire province. The government promises to have a recycling program in place by 2007 Spring, but I'm not optimistic.
Many people don't seem to yet realize that garbage collection costs a lot of money, and recycling saves them money in the end.
I think online communities like YouTube and Slashdot will end up brining people together. And if you disagree with me I'll wig out and get all polarized;-)
Ban TV - Perhaps you'd like to join the Teleban, and join my crusade to bring an end to old style entertainment that keeps people isolated?
The most recent stuff I've heard about sleep study, had to do with the idea of studying sleep in pre-industrial humans. It turns out there's a strong case to be made that humans routinely awoke during the middle of the night, and had a "second sleep" about an hour after waking in the dark. I can't help but think that might stem back to a time we were more regularly hunted, and would have to check for changing circumstances in our safety.
It can be both ways, they can be not significant in the global scheme of things, yet their poop can be good to use, since we tend to gather a lot of cattle into one place to make resource collection convenient for us. I really would like to know their estimated methane production in a year though, compared to say other natural sources or industry.
I'm not so sure how "major" they could be. Noteworthy I'd be sure of, but do you have estimation figures that put them near the top of the 'new methane in the atmosphere' list?
Using their patties for biofuel is something I think North Americans aren't looking at closely enough. There's definately fosssil-type fuel to be had from their back end production.
I thought of the same phishing problem, which has been known about in the tech world for some time now. Kids discovered it through 1337 speek too, using numbers that look like letters to fill in for names they otherwise want to claim. Will we see more 3Bay.com sites because of the move to include other languages? I think certainly we will.
In a way it seems like adding buttons to a phone's keypad, instead of having the world settle on a single standard. I suppose I'd feel differently if it was my language that wasn't the standard, though.
There's no reason they had to keep shocking him when he wouldn't stand up. The taser isn't a magic want for cripes sake! You can't wave it at someone and expect them to do something - that falls under the category of torture. -threatening severe pain/violence to get a subdued arrestee to comply with demands. It may be fashionable in the USA right now to threaten detainees with torture, but that's not how democratic country's police forces are supposed to work.
Your point about there being 2 sides, may apply to the initiation of the arrest, but not in the middle where they acted with extreme brutality.
They did try, didn't you hear them saying "officer, I want your name and badge number". There were claims I read that students asking for that were threatened with arrest. If they'd rushed the police, there could have been deaths - the crowd handled it as best they could, short of calling for backup themselves, or chanting something to get the police to feel intimidated and back off temporarily.
In Canada, where we also lack the First Ammendment, but still have free speech, a Conservative Member of Parliament (Garth Turner) was kicked out of his party for allegedly revealing confidential caucus information on his widely read blog. Another Conservative blogger shut down his blog after winning the election in January. It makes me wonder how long bloggers will be able to go for in North American without "press licenses" or something of that sort.
I was thinking the same thing. I can't wait for them to put a new TLA architecture into my MAC or IBM. Because ISA is totally the VLB of the 2000s. It may even outcool USB and PCI-e.
You got my geography right, but you try eating and burning your paper money for energy when the real life economy takes a downturn. You can't eat virtually purchased food, or warm yourself with fictional grain burning.
Other blogs tend to hold bloggers to account, but they degenerate into flamewars, and blogwars, because there's no "professional" courtesy extended, or national advertising contracts to lose if they are seen as bickering children by the public.
I write on my blog about bloggers saying stupid things all of the time - yet I'm statistically invisible because I only have about 400 eyes [assuming no cyclops] reading my site a day. Unless a pair of those eyes is from CNN, a big-blogger, or the government, my impact is unlikely to change opinions.
Just yesterday I slammed Larry King, because he's a journalist in 2006 who can't use "the Google". Will the world care what I think about King? Probably not, but my views were echoed around the blogosphere. One of my readers who came to me through Slashdot paid me a nice compliment and said that he'd rather read what I'm saying than Bill O'Reilly.
The entomology of the word may very well relate to the modern slang in sword slinging battle games.
Wikipedia says "the word wootz may have been a mistranscription of wook, an anglicised version of ukku, the word for steel in many south Indian languages."
So probably WoW wasn't responsible for this word, but maybe a type of back pain related to a sedentary lifestyle, will be called "pwned spine".
It's too bad someone moderated you offtopic, because they don't understand that the Dixie Chicks are at the heart of what's wrong with American radio operation. The Top can tell the Fans what they are going to listen to, and why. There would have been minimal outrage in even the "country" states if radio Clear Channel radio stations hadn't been ordered to hype the "I'm ashamed Bush is from Texas" comment.
Don't you mean that 50% of students are below average?
"don't know how to judge the authoritativeness or objectivity of web sites, can't narrow down an overly broad search, and can't tailor a message to a particular audience"
Since I read this on Slashdot, it must be true. I did a search for 'computer users are idiots', and came up with this website we're talking on.
But I do know how to tailor a message to a particular audience, because I used a beowulf cluster of idiotic students to type this out for me. Imagine that idiot power?
I was going to try for a First Post, but then I realized there was no challenge in it, if I could just send my post back into the past and beat anyone.
"You want to squirt me back a video of your vacation. That's [an] experience," he said."
When someone says "That's an experience" to you to describe a function of an electronic device, RUN, RUN AWAY RIGHT AWAY! Marketing droids are super deadly to your brain's cells.

"Seebeck effect:
The Seebeck effect is the conversion of temperature differences directly into electricity. "
Not to be confused with:
The Slashdot effect is the conversion of a temperate webserver, directly into a pile of slag.

I didn't know that Skype could phone Kronos. Those Klingon disrupters shouldn't be put up to your ear though.

Excuse me, but how could an "online economy" ever be viable? It doesn't produce anything, and consumes energy.

Well played sir. See my (and other's) corrections through this thread.
The apocalyptic explanation I heard is that it stands for We Own Other Team.
Yes, I threw the word apocryphal for humour after I blew etymology.

As a Dixie Chick fan, I'm not surprised you're happy to see Clear Channel retreating [if that is in fact what's happening here?].
I hope this brings about a new age in American radio and billboards, where there's less group-think, and more think-think.

I put a 1MB PCI video card in an AMD 1800+ XP the other day. It works, but I think it's why DVDs crash when I go to play them in VLC.
At least it has more colours than the Commodore had.
