Venezuela's Last Opposition TV Owner Arrested 433

WrongSizeGlass writes "AP is reporting the owner of Venezuela's only remaining TV channel that takes a critical line against President Hugo Chavez was arrested Thursday.

How the hell could you use something like flexible concrete that for braces or medical stents? This new alloy isn't /just/ for earthquakes, you know. And that info's right even there in the summary!

No, what that would mean is that every single ISP that's smaller than something the size of Google would go out of business.

Those rules would accomplish a couple of things.

1). Make the risk of operating an ISP so high that only the very largest companies would risk it.
2). Make the cost of internet access so expensive, due to risk to the ISP, that only the wealthiest individuals and corporations could afford it.
3). Make it easy to shut down massive swaths of the internet by merely forging email headers.

Good job!

BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc 466

An anonymous reader writes with this quote from 1Up: "Trouble is brewing in Rapture. The recently released Sinclair Solutions multiplayer pack for BioShock 2 is facing upset players over the revelation that the content is already on the disc, and the $5 premium is an unlock code. It started when users on the 2K Forums noticed that the content is incredibly small: 24KB on the PC, 103KB on the PlayStation 3, and 108KB on the Xbox 360. 2K Games responded with a post explaining that the decision was made in order to keep the player base intact, without splitting it between the haves and have-nots."
