US Government Checking Up On Vista Users? 291

Posted by Zonk on Sunday July 22, 2007 @02:24PM from the security-theatre-in-your-home dept.

Paris The Pirate writes "This article at Whitedust displays some very interesting logs from Vista showing connections to the DoD Information Networking Center, United Nations Development program and the Halliburton Company; for no reason other than the machine was running Vista. From the article 'After running Vista for only a few days — with a complete love for the new platform the first sign of trouble erupted. I began noticing latency on my home network connection — so I booted my port sniffing software and networking tools to see what was happening. What I found was foundation shaking. The two images below show graphical depictions of what has and IS trying to connect to my computer even in an idle state'."

Regrowing Lost Body Parts Getting Closer All the Time 210

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday February 19, 2007 @05:49PM from the go-go-gadget-hand dept.

[TheBORG] writes "There are two stories on Yahoo! News about regrowing lost body parts. One is about regrowing lost fingers & limbs and the other one is about regrowing teeth. The story about regrowing lost fingers and limbs talks about the experimental use of powdered pig bladder to regrow fingers and eventually lost limbs for soldiers and others in need from information that Pentagon-funded scientists hopefully learn from studying the salamander. The story about regrowing teeth talks about how Japanese scientists used primitive cells and injected them into a framework of collagen. Once grown to a certain point, scientists implanted the growths into mice where the teeth developed normally."

More A's, More Pay 366

Posted by Zonk on Monday November 13, 2006 @01:33AM from the teaching-to-the-paycheck dept.

theodp writes "Little slashdotters may find teacher a tad more upset when they screw up on a test. The Dept. of Education just launched the first federal program that uses bonuses to motivate teachers who raise test scores in at-risk communities, awarding $42M this month to 16 school systems. Any fears that teachers might cook the books to score a typical $5,000 payoff? Not to worry, says Chicago's school chief, there are statistical analyses in place that spot testing irregularities, presumably better at catching Cheaters than those used in the past."

Journal Journal: Advertisers reading slashdot?

Journal by MulluskO on Saturday February 08, 2003 @09:12PM

This is a screengrab of an actual advertisement in Yahoo! movies.

Coincidence?

Fluke?

I did replace my zip code with 'KGB's Soviet Russia,' but that is the only thing I altered.

Journal Journal: Sealab 2021

Journal by MulluskO on Sunday December 08, 2002 @08:22PM

Sealab is beginning its second season, but the fan art just hasn't quite arrived yet, not like it has for Space Ghost and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I'm doing what I can, though, and I'm sure there are others out there.

If you do not know anything about the programs I just mentioned I highly reccomend taking a look in your favorite search engine or cable TV listings. Sealab is all I watch.
