it is possible to log out of chat, we just no longer have the option to prevent chat from showing up in gmail. i personally don't like having it around and had it disabled in "gmail 1.0". i've been moved over 2.0 now and have to keep chat minimized and signed off in the side bar. this isn't really that much of an issue, but it'll bother me for a while.
The NYTimes archives have been available to university students for the past few years through other services which purchase the data from the Times. It really is an amazing tool. Every page of every NYTimes article is SCANNED in (ads included) and converted into readable, searchable, plaintext. I hope that they their offerings are implemented well...
