Woot.com sells a lot of iRobot stuff. Conspiracy theories aside, Woot's target demographic are geeks with disposable income and how better to snag them than with robots? Roomba, Scooba and recently Looj.
BTW, everyone that has knocked the name, I'd think it's a play off of luge, cause gutters are similar to luge track. Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time! COOL RUNNINGS!
That sounds good, why aren't gutters just slightly lower than flush with the eaves and on a hinged system? Each straight section could lock at the end and be titled over. More expensive ones could be locked less frequently and have seamless gutters going around the corners. After cleaning, maybe with a hose nozzle for the troublesome parts, just upright it and lock it into place.

How could a wife launch a distributed denial of service attack on his life? Did she contact all of his mistresses, slutty co-workers, and the gals at the club down the road to have them join in the attack?
Because the porn industry has connections in the right places. A.xxx TLD would enable parents, corporations and governments to quickly and easily disable access to those sites. The porn industry would rather that we rely upon OpenDNS, SquidGuard and DansGuardian (among others). This requires a certain level of network experience that most people don't have. Blocking.xxx is something that all consumer routers could easily implement (including a time schedule for folks that still wanted access when the kids are asleep).
Don't believe the "it will legitimize porn" argument from the gov and churches. It's already legit, don't they remember the difference between whitehouse.com and whitehouse.gov ? In the 90s I had librarians painfully emphasizing the.gov TLD while our classes learned how to use this new fangled Internet for research.
I seriously doubt it cost them thousands of subscribers. Comcrap gives me like 2gb of NNTP, so I use another provider for that service. Ironically the same one as my ISP, but I pay for an account without the cap.
The fact that some ISPs still offer newsgroup access (in-house) surprises the hell outta me. How are you going to throttle bittorrent traffic while promoting NNTP as a service you offer...
There sure are a lot of executable files... That makes me question how savvy Kozinski really is. I sure wouldn't host exe files, or hell most of what he has there. I'm no prude, but basing that sentiment off of file extensions.
800 emails in a second? Is it running on a 286 or something? Before signing up with Postini, my mail server was getting that nearly round the clock... Gosh I love spammers.
wtf is Volume Shadow Copy. If it really is similar to Time Machine, how come fanboys don't trumpet it? Unless you're referring to that damned System Restore...
Google Analytics is invaluable for small business. AWStats and others cannot compete on ease of use and accuracy. By blocking the domain in your hosts file, you aren't sticking it to Google, you are hurting the Web sites that you visit. I'm employed by a small newspaper and we use Google Analytics in order to see where our readers are going and how we can improve the experience for you. Google already has this information through AdSense, or do you have that blocked too? Again you're hurting small business.
You may refuse to give them your data, but if I had the ability, Apache would refuse to give you my data until you eased off on the attitude.
Camping, fishing, knitting? I look forward to retiring and being able to sit in front of a PC all day. I can probably do those other activities on my 360...
Unless you are part of the IT staff, downloading software at work is bad. This is/. so I am guessing you are part of IT, but I'd give my users that quiz.
People need to stop linking to printable versions... you're screwing the host by consuming their bw without giving them the courtesy of receiving a banner impression from your visit. I'm looking at you AdBlock folks too... You shouldn't penalize the sites that try to use unobtrusive advertising. That PC World site doesn't have roadblocks or expanding ads, they're fairly normal.
My site checks the referrer on print friendly pages and will redirect you to the actual content if you are including a referrer that isn't me. Until I rewrite it to use a print css, that's my best solution to combat leeches like you.
Last time I tried activating SBC's DSL (so yeah it wasn't very recently), they couldn't believe that I had removed IE off of my PowerBook and were unable to understand that their "mac version" of the activation CD required it. The tech didn't recognize them when I mentioned Safari and Firefox.
Why they can't just build an extremely simple registration form using standard HTML is beyond me...
Perhaps you didn't read what he said or have never used Google.
The first link on Google was paid That means it was one of the sponsored links with a colored background. Organic search results cannot be "paid links." There's a reason they include the URL under the snippet, the user has to pay some attention to wtf they are clicking.

I always enjoyed seeing those wind farms. It was a refreshing change of scenery after driving through beautiful Banning/Beaumont on the interstate.

the ICANN and lolcat combination is getting really old...
now it just redirects to flightglobal.com's sitemap.
takes a long time to load too...

My users would think that a shell script is some sort of fancy font for use on sea shells... Their level of literacy also has good and bad points.
Although TechCrunch stories do appear on Washington Post, they are not the same and it's just content sharing. http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080508/0395131.html

I agree... recent Comcast promotions of their video on-demand make claims about watching it the same day it comes out on DVD.
