...and to think I worked hard for just the annual "Book-It" Pizza Hut party! Really, though, if kids come to expect this as the norm, what will the NEXT incentive need to be to entice them to take more difficult and challenging classes (which may be harder to get the higher grades in, comparatively)? But, in a way, this is kind of like the bonus system used at many corporations... if you meet certain milestones which are above the standard, you gain more recognition accordingly.
Really, though. I can't imagine cable providers wanting to upset the likes of HBO, Showtime, Max, etc, by agreeing to an untested service that directly competes with those? Have to wait and see, whenever they announce the partners.
Interesting that the wikipedia page referenced above (Recursive acronyms) actually has an entry for "Bing - Bing is not Google", even though I believe this is still unconfirmed by MS! But, if the master reference says its so...
I may be off here, but part of the reason of the reason Craigslist may be gaining popularity is because its listings are finally well indexed by search engines, where as of a year or so ago, they weren't - now when I search for an item or service, Craigslist actually shows up in the relevant hits! The more users who see Craigslist in google results, the more likely they maybe are to list with it.

According to my parents and people in my office, the Internet is occasionally down for several hours at a time. Fortunately, they have the ability to reboot it when necessary.
What ever happened to focusing on the sense of smell for more intimate immersion? I could see that being difficult at the movie theater, especially when watching movies about Orc's and Hobbits, but still - scent was supposed to be the next big thing!
Agreed. More effort should be focused on improving airflow than ambient temperature... but its largely about perception.
At the data center I worked in, there were diffuser tiles placed at the entrance to give the effect of the room being cooler than what it was (74 deg F) when a guest walked in. We frequently got comments that it was "nice and cool" which was enough to satisfy the average manager.
But in reality, instead of simply lowering the temps, we spent time maximizing airflow through the cabinets and effectiveness of the coolers (both location, cycle times, while maintaining an N+1).
I too would distrust HDD's that are running at 100 deg F ambient... until we all migrate to solid state that is, hehe
Why ban when you can profit? In America, we'll just raise taxes on whatever that product is, to incentify the reduction of use for the eventual greater common good. Cigarettes come to mind...

I'll set up my Boxee tonight to pick up these streams! Which will probably work for about 1 1/2 days before being blocked!

I'm just excited that in 6 months, i'll be able to pick up previously-viewed video streams at a fraction of the retail price!
isn't the Internet Archive the same thing as Google Cached Pages?
Donnie, you're out of your element!
IE's primary function for me will still be as Firefox Downloader 8.0

So I wonder who will send the other team a cake?
And here I was always convinced they were Gravity Particles.
