  1. Problem is using celluar signal to bomb him on Solving Obama's BlackBerry Dilemma · · Score: 1

    Let's be serious. The secret service could care less about the info security. They're a lot more concerned about the fact that they have all these guys who are sitting ducks because 'Renegade' insists on carrying a homing device with him wherever he goes. I think the solution is to tell the world he's carrying a blackberry but then carry some custom device which is built on radio.

  2. Re:Should be criminal anyway on Graphics Advances Make Identifying Real Images Difficult · · Score: 1

    "and to employ pornography to relieve an impulse to act out." Gee! What could that possibly imply?

  3. She may have a point on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 1

    You need to read the legal judgements rather than TFA as MSM rarely gets this stuff right.

    This is unlikely to have a direct impact on spidering at large as archive.org reproduces websites en masse, which is a big part of the judgement. Very few spidering systems do this and it is likely that is reasonable that they do not have a legal right to.

    Also, does robots.txt have a method for declaring what you're allowed to do with the contents you spider?

    "Shell contends that Internet Archive formed a contract with her when it reproduced her website contents, and then breached this contract when it failed to pay her the prescribed fees. Internet Archive argues that it never entered into a contract with Shell. It is undisputed that the parties did not form an explicit contract. Rather, Shell states that Internet Archive entered a contract with her by its conduct in reproducing her web materials."

  4. Re:Well, it isn't a "good" system at all on Looking Inside the Second Life Data Centers · · Score: 1

    If a sim isn't going to get used, you can buy 4 sims per one core. They are 'light' sims and have fewer primitives, fewer resources, etc. There is already enough problems sharing SIMs across one box, let's not make it worse by sharing them across one core..

  5. This slashdot post is a mess on Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Marc Morano (the Senate blog poster) http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Marc_Mo rano , is an outspoken right wing aide to republican senator. He is complaining, clearly, about the anchor at the weather channel, certainly not encouraging her. This is *not* coming from the Senate, but rather from the Weather Channel.
