Now, channels like CNN want to remain a news based channel and they mostly act accordingly. You respect them for their news and even though they are commerically driven they're fairly respectable.
Well that could be a funny comment if it wasn't so seriously offbase. CNN just got rid of a bunch of great journalists to be able to cut costs (AOL merge anybody?). The original CNN founder was on PBS critizising the degrading standards of all the news media and particularly CNN's.
Lets face it, it is cheaper and a lot more profitable to put entertainment disguised as news on the air.
They only care about ratings, ergo, they MUST do sloppy investigations to prove their controversial points. The more shocking the facts, the better ratings they get. Who cares if truth gets bended in the process?
Bah, try Covad's DSL. I got mine is less than 3 weeks, only problem is they use pppoe instead of DHCP, but it's a small price to pay for fast service and reliable connection.

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't know any other distribution that uses 2.2.18 yet (well,
any other major distribution). SuSE doesn't, Red Hat doesn't etc.
Maybe you have heard of Mandrake? The Cooker distro from Mandrake has both, 2.2.18 and 2.4.0
I have noticed a lot of trouble lately in all of the IRC networks. The latest came when the Undernet bots dissapeared. If you go to their webpage at Http://www.undernet.org/ they have a short statement of what is going on.
As more and more users get faster connections maybe this will become the norm for the internet, and the IRC servers could be just the proverbial canary in the mine.
I actually think Open Source IS the way of the future for business, just think about it:
Red Hat et all give the software for free but they charge for support. Corporations save money on incredible expensive licenses and can instead spend it on real support.
The internet keeps getting faster, at about doble the speed per year... freenet or maybe some other not yet known programs will make it easy to download free soft. Big soft corps like MSFT keep losing sales to those free downloads. The faster the internet gets, the more business they lose... etc etc.
20 years from now all the money will be on support.
Intel has discovered a physical limit on how small a chip can be, because there are only so many small people alive at any given time, that can actually work on all those tiny transistors. So, unless they resort to massive cloning of the littles of people, we will reach a limiting factor both on the size and amount of chips created.
Having said that, I am sure our new elected president will delegate onto some smart people the task of figuring out, either cloning or chips, wichever comes first.
Also, on the same subject, in Europe they finaly figured out the Royal Family's behaviour for the last couple of centuries, it's a human strain for the Mad Cow Desease.
Says a sushi fan at DOE: "[W]henever
researchers have gone into the fugu and looked for
human genes, by and large they've found them."
The only explanation is that someting funny has been going on between the Jackes Coustau team and female fugus. I don't blame them, 6 months expeditions out to see can take a toll on you.

-- a=b;a^2=ab;a^2-b^2=ab-b^2;(a-b)(a+b)=b(a-b);a+b=b; 2b=b;2=1
Nope, you made a mistake there, you see: (a-b)=0. So you can prove any figure equals any other figure, after that little trick.

Good .point! I missed that one.

If your wife is "pregananat", your kid will probably stutter.
Short answer: Mad Cow Desease
Ive heard the american EZPASS system will ticket you if you travel between tolls too quickly.
OOOOOOOOOOOh brother, then I'll be in BIG trouble. I never go under 80 on toll roads. Else what the hell am I paying for if I can't go fast.
Same people that gave us Mad Cow Desease... what else can you expect?
You know if you are rating commercials... well, how low can you get?
Super Bowl watching is for suckers. I like football, but not this commercial atrofy.
ugh, the old CuSeeme is still alive and it offers web streaming of audio and video:
Webpage is here
Like duh!...
it costs #20/month...
Well, if it only costs 20 tic-tac-doh a month then it is worth it, by golly!

Hah, last time a girl asked me that I just said, no, I am really excited to see ya. To my surprise it worked. ;-P
to one of this babys is Packman. Now THAT would be an achievement!
That will really be the best shape for a computer keyboard, guitar shape, and you could play some good rock while working too.

And Cooker IS the best linux distro by far.

What race and country are Amigans from? And why do they have to use so much cologne?
Me confused.
