Little by Little.. Slashdot is reporting information way after the fact. Is Slashdot still a place to find out "new" news anymore?

"Search"? I dunno, that sounds like unproven technology to me.... I got burned when I was an early adopter of "sound cards" and "GUIs," so I personally will leave this to the labcoats for now.

but it is still a very small niche in the big scheme of things.

Despite how much anti-Americans might want it to be, the US is most definitely *not* a niche. If they want to add some sort of zip+9 lookup tool, or other device of interest only to people in the United States... good for them!
