Because both Bellsouth and AT&T operate under a monopoly status granted by the federal government to provide local telephone service. That is why they have to ask Congress if they are going to change the terms of the service.
It's not controversial. Most scientists believe that the only way for women to contract cervical cancer is to have HPV strains 6, 11, or 16 present. They're so sure about it that they believe cases in which HPV wasn't detected were due to an error in testing.
Studies are coming out now which link many cases of lung cancer to certain strains of HPV (the virus that causes common warts). This seems like a growing trend. But then again, a weak immune system is inherited, and people with weak immune systems are more susceptible to viruses. So there's still a genetic link.
Or are the frequent colds indicative of a weak immune system, which in turn gives way to cancer later in life? I bet if the study was conducted over a broader range of illnesses, they'd find that these children suffered from all kinds of ailments.
Just because you're good with multitasking with your hands doesn't mean you're inherently better than other people at multitasking in a car. With one, there are no consequences for failure. When you're driving a car, serious injury or death is the result of failure.
It's just this kind of superiority BS by gamers that will get them killed in a car. There's a difference between games and real life.
If you are using OpenOffice the only sample survey of "open source," then sure, his conclusion may hold. But he ignores all other open source projects which are much larger than OpenOffice. He takes OO and then extrapolates from that the entire open source development model is flawed. Why not look at Linux, gnome, kde, or any other massive open source projects which do not receive the majority of their funding/source code from companies?
My guess is that if the U.S. government felt a threat was so grave that it would resort "cyberwarfare" as well as conventional warfare (knowing the consequences), then I think we'd all have a more serious problem than just worrying about internet governance.
Just like anything, the U.S. has the power to abuse it. But I feel, as with many others, that the U.S. is less likely to abuse it due to its economic reliance upon it. The U.S. would only resort to "cyberwarfar" as one of the last resorts, it would seem.
The more, the better. The IM/VOIP market is one of the few markets where we have true competition. If Yahoo! is going to make a better app with VOIP than what I currently use (Google Talk), then I'll switch.
I don't know why slashdot posts links to this reactionary tech-tabloid. All they do is troll for hits to their outlandish articles. They rarely have any content of worth, and when they do, it's overshadowed by their poor writing style and use of reactionary language.
Does any of this really matter now? The moment they went public, their defining philosophy turned into maximizing profits for their share holders in any way lawfully possible. The share holders now control board votes, not google's lofty ideals.
Kazaa has been relegated to the trash-heap of the net with the advent of bittorrent and registration-only bittorrent trackers. They went the same direction of Napster, because they were litigated into nonexistence.
Decentralization is key to survival now if you want to avoid litigation on the infrastructure.
You don't even need to provide a valid email address to create a wikipedia account right now; it's purely optional. This looks like more of a PR move than a move aimed to actually improve the quality of the content submitted.
Wikipedia is realizing that the theory of "many eyes" completely breaks down in an atmosphere lacking in authority. Nothing stops people from acting irresponsibly, and now they are forced to take some action or lose what credibility and cache they have left.
Green tea has caffeine just like coffee but has immeasurably more benefits, such as reducing the likelihood of all kinds of cancers and tumors. Further, it has been shown in some studies to do more good for the heart than a glass of wine every day. All coffee has is caffeine.
Although severely crippled when compared to the enterprise edition, Microsoft's express edition of their Visual Studio products are actually decent. You can get basic programs coded in Express without a lot of the overhead (or features) of the professional editions.

Yea, it's no big deal. It just causes the browser to crash. Move along.
Not.
