EA Shutting Down Video Game Servers Prematurely 341

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday January 06, 2010 @07:42AM from the sixty-dollar-yearly-fee dept.

Spacezilla writes "EA is dropping the bomb on a number of their video game servers, shutting down the online fun for many of their Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 games. Not only is the inclusion of PS3 and Xbox 360 titles odd, the date the games were released is even more surprising. Yes, Madden 07 and 08 are included in the shutdown... but Madden 09 on all consoles as well?"

Hand Written Clock 86

a3buster writes "This clock does not actually have a man inside, but a flatscreen that plays a 24-hour loop of this video by the artist watching his own clock somewhere and painstakingly erasing and re-writing each minute. This video was taken at Design Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach 2009."

Canadian Blood Services Promotes Pseudoscience 219

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday December 01, 2009 @07:49PM from the type-A-negative-personality dept.

trianglecat writes "The not-for-profit agency Canadian Blood Services has a section of their website based on the Japanese cultural belief of ketsueki-gata, which claims that a person's blood group determines or predicts their personality type. Disappointing for a self-proclaimed 'science-based' organization. The Ottawa Skeptics, based in the nation's capital, appear to be taking some action."

If I were a judge [much ranting]

Please allow me to correct your comment and shorten it a bit:

If I were a judge, I'd be promptly impeached for gross incompetence

There! Wasn't that simpler, without all those extra words?

Even better, since I don't use illegal drugs I'll go ahead and give them the sample, wait for the tests to come back negative, and explain to them very clearly why I'm declining their employment offer at that point.

That "prevents" them from dismissing my refusal as "oh, a druggie who didn't want to get caught"

Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Spammers Hijacking Your Domain Name

An anonymous reader writes: Recently I have begun to receive a lot of undeliverable emails... from emails that I never sent. Apparently, some spammer has gotten the domain name of my business and is using it to send tons of spam. Now, I am starting to have legitimate email bounced back because some servers have identified me as a spammer. This is having an impact on my ability to do business. Is there anything I can do about it either logistically or legally? I know the Slashdot community will know.
