"Teen, mom sue MySpace.com for $30 million" as they titled it in http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories /local/06/20myspace.html
Wait, a teen, mum that is 14 years old? Is this an eats, shoots, and leaves punctuation here? 14 years old sues myspace, OR the mum of the 14 years old sues myspace, OR a 14 years old teen mum sues myspace?
If we believe the first paragraph of the article, "A 14-year-old Travis County girl who said she was sexually assaulted by a Buda man she met on MySpace.com sued the popular social networking site Monday for $30 million, claiming that it fails to protect minors from adult sexual predators." who knows who she should sue for beeing a 14 years old teen mum by now.
Did she perhaps meet someone (the baby father?) from Yahoo or Livejournal when she was 13?
If people are mothers at the age of 14 in a place where the age for the sexual consent is 18, maybe sue her. Or remove the child and take her to custody.
A person in a vegetative state will appear to be awake and may have their eyes open, but will show no awareness of their surroundings.
They will not be able to interact with other people, and will show no responses to sounds or things that happen around them.
But they will show signs of movement, and cycles of sleep and may be able to breathe on their own.
So what would happen if they would start to give these drugs to technical support people and system admins? Would they also start to show responses to their environment, and manage to hold a conversation?
Great. That will make me feel so safe when I go to that country the next time. I wonder if they can pinpoint what they consider "suspicious" with the CCTV better than they did in the real life? Unfortunately, based on first hand experiences, the people in that country do not score very high on tolerating diversity, so you may end up being on the suspect list for wrong skin color, hair color, facial features, unusual last name for the country mentioned on your passport... and that was already on the times of more 'analog' CCTV.
"Only non-Hispanic whites were included in the study to eliminate the influence of racial disparities. The researchers looked only at people ages 55 through 64, and the average age of the samples was the sammples was the same."
Great. Of course as the comparison data, they must have used the non-Hispanic and non-mainland-European Brits to compare them to. I didn't know NHS would have that data available.
What if e.g. the Hispanic people would have showed to be healthier in US than in Latin America? Or Black Americans as opposed to Black British, Black Africans, Black Latin Americans, Black Swedish, Black Canadians and so on...
Why do they make the conclusion that ALL Americans are so and so, based only on selected WHITE Americans of a certain age? Because they still think there is a White MAJORITY of people?
Poor sleep to lack of attention span? I must have some paranormal skills for having sensed this being common among nerds before this article was posted to/..
And why doesn't no one suggest resiously to put a specific domain for sites that contain any sort of fanatism (any religion, extreme politics, terrorism etc)?.rpt = religion, politics, terrorism etc.
Why not add those omega-3 genes directly to human DNA instead? That way you wouldn't need to eat pork or margarine or other omega-3 fatty foods to get healthy. (and you wouldn't need to wait to get a big mac marketed as a health option because the parts of animal used in making the beef were omega-3 modified).
Having those genes modified in human DNA are as natural as having them in a pig's DNA.
Ideal home integration? Simplicity. Japanese style furniture, and few and selected furniture, and the stereos, hifi, etc would be simplistic as well. No TV - possibly a projector. Ideally Bose but any small and good sounding speakers, integrated with iPod. Integration with Airport Express should be easy - so can control the musics of all the rooms of the house by the computers (a few in different rooms or where needed). Actually, for TV needs now the computers do fine - mostly viewing movies anyway, and some cartoons with eyeTV. Lots of small lights in ceiling and on walls to get enough light on winter, and enough analog candles for the mood. And simple materials to keep it all timeless - such as white walls, dark wood, some stone, some metal, and selected details in bright colors. And the simplicity factor will make it more simple than now - there are 16 iPods in our house now... probably could do with a bit less.
relatively immature open source software has little chance of surviving in the enterprise, said an SAP AG executive during a speech at the Open Source Business Conference in San Francisco.
D'oh? News value? 1) immature software has never had good survival rates in the enterprise environment and 2) SAP probably wants to sell SAP software, so even if there was an open source, MATURE application, that would be enterprise strength, to be used where SAP is used, I don't somehow think that SAP would suggest anyone to use that.
Actually, there is right now both the 1 GB iPod nano (with screen) abd 1 GB and 512 MB iPod shuffles,.. with big price drops. So the shuffles stayed for at least now.
I see constantly people leave their computers on at work; hundreds of people who are not running server software on them, and who have no reason of having the computer run 24 7. Of those maybe 60 people who do have servers running, everyone seems to leave only the server running, and have the screens black. Thus hundreds of CRT displays on all days around, for being used 8 hours a day.
I see lights on in all building even at 2 AM, when the last of the workers have gone home by 10 PM (after last of them having finished their work by 8,30 PM).
Sometimes I wonder how much energy running all those computers and especially the CRT monitors 24 7 costs. If you have maybe 1200 people working, and at least 60 % of them are using 2 computers on the same time... and how much it would save if the lights were not on in all the building 24 7 as well.
And then I remember they don't really care. Employing the 1200+ people is the major cost, then comes the international telecom. If they would save a few thousand $, I don't think that they would really care at all.
Nice. My first thought was that it would be just one of the many how-to-make-your-own-digital-camera articles that have been around for ages at Make magazine and other similar media... so a lot nicer and more creative than that. And now I want to find an old, old camera, with an old flatbed scanner and try some of that stuff myself.
who complained about this, are those who use their frequent purchasers cards when they go to Walgreens, and have then no issues when Walgreens knows exactly how much gatorade they drink, what brand asthma medicines they use, and when they bought the last pregnancy test for their wife or lover, and who wipe the frequent flyers cards when they fly.
And most of the same people use credit cards... AmEx, Visa, and Mastercard know basically everything that you buy, and when, and where.
So, if Apple could have known you would have been listening to Britney Spears or other hideous music, for a whole one track, AmEx knows you bought 5 CDs of her. And they still could not have known if you ripped the track yourself or used some hideous p2p to get it.

35 % of cost for developing the iTunes version of rootkit that they also deduct the artists.
200 people in a village in France test this "cashless society" - no cash itself, just pay with a mobile phone.
At least 250 million people in US, Europe, Asia, use widely credit cards, and don't need to use cash.
Probably giving a tip with a mobile phone is not essentially different from giving a tip with a credit card either...
If you badge number has only 1 digit in it, that's normally good enough for getting to that list. ;-)
MicroSoft doesn't want Apple and especially Mac OS X to die.
Thanks to Mac OS X MicroSoft Windows doesn't pay A LOT for abusing its monopoly in the OS market.
And what will happen if you will replace the logic board of those computers? Will all your data be gone even for you?
actually, cars would be a brilliant use for that.
far better place than e.g. passports for having the trackable microchips.
