Newly Discovered Fault Under L.A.

Los Angeles doesn't have a fault. It does, and it's one of earth-shattering proportions. [1]Geologists have confirmed that LA was built right over a faultline, which they're calling the Puente Hills Blind Thrust System; it runs from northern Orange County through Los Angeles on up to Beverly Hills, and has a habbit of ripping earthquakes as large as 7.5 on the Richter Scale every 10 thousand years or so. And the last one was about 8 thousand years ago." Links

RIAA Seeks Estimated $97.8 Billion From MTU Student http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/05/1931233

[0]theodp writes "The Detroit Free Press [1]does the math on the
damages [2]sought by the RIAA from the Michigan Technological University student. The total? About $97.8 trillion--yes, trillion with a T--or enough money to buy every CD sold in America last year over again for the next 120,000 years, according to RIAA statistics." Update: 04/05 21:58 GMT by [3]M: The Free Press can do the math, but not very well: the numbers provided show the RIAA is seeking some $97 billion dollars, not trillion. I'm sure the student is *much* happier. Headline updated.

The FCC and Media Consolidation
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/05/1848230

An anonymous reader writes "A story on this evening's [0]All Things Considered but also at [1]Now with Bill Moyers reports this June, the FCC will choose whether to keep or drop longstanding rules limiting the number of media outlets (radio stations, TV stations, etc.) a company may hold in a single area. That means all the radio stations in your area, for example, may one day be controlled by one company, like Clearchannel or Rupert Murdoch's FOX Communications. One irony is virtually no news outlet is covering the story. Another is the justifying argument for this move comes from the emergence of new media, like the Internet and Cable/Satellite. Yet with all 100's of new TV channels available, there are only five major media companies out there controlling them all, and recent copyright rules applying to the Internet have all but squelched-out Internet radio. So the old rules might not be so outdated after all. But the only voices being heard in this argument are coming from the media giants." In a related story, AOL/Time-Warner is [2]petitioning the FCC to lift the restriction forbidding AOL from launching "advanced" IM services without letting others access the IM network.

Habeas Seeks Poetic Justice for Trademarked Spam http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/05/1644249

Remember the company who started [0]using haiku to fight spam? According to a [1]news.com article, it will [2]now be tested in court. Habeas is suing two internet marketers, saying that they've included Habeas' haiku in their mail, thereby [3]lowering their SpamAssassin score by [4]6 points, but allegedly violating the trademark. It's interesting because the end effect of this will be more or less spam, but it's based on trademark law. It'll also be interesting to see how well this holds up across national boundaries. Links

for Surveys (ACS) has captured a [1]detailed image of spiral rings in a distant protoplanetary disk -- the pancake-shaped cloud of gas and dust around a young star in which planets are expected to condense.

WebGUI is a content management framework built to allow average business users to build and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular, pluggable, and platform independent. It was designed to allow the people who create the content to manage it online, rather than content management taking up the time of busy IT Staff. Whether you are building a consumer site, an intranet, or an extranet, WebGUI has something to offer.
