Apple lawyers fight to silence dead Steve Jobs: 'No right' to hear him from beyond the grave

A different view of 9/11

I wonder if anyone has studied the research of Dr. Judie Woods into the 9/11 disaster available on her web site (terribly designed) at drjudywood.com. It felt strongly believable to me, even though I had never once considered a conspiracy angle to the disaster: Her research is available as a book too:

Of particular interest is the fact that she was so confident in her research that she filed a Qui Tam suit against a host of agencies:

Twitter goes titsup

DDOS still possible with managed DNS?

Dynect lists Twitter as their client (http://dynect.com/_pdf/casestudy-twitter.pdf). Wouldn't an enterprise grade managed DNS service automatically take care of DDOS? Or, are there other factors to consider?

OT: What's your problem, Aditya?

That's the second time you've rubbished India and Indians. Is there nothing better you can do? Sure, there is corruption and piracy, but your comments imply that all Indians are creeps and there is nothing more than scams and corruptions in India.

Please consider the impact of your comments in shaping the perceptions of users who may not know better about India.

Sorry about the OT post, folks.
