Ehh gads and they charged you 50 cents for it to be printed on paper and delivered to your door. Then they followed up with local coverage, editorials, classifieds and so on. This is why it's called your local paper. There are very few papers that do actual national or international reporting. AND most of them allow local papers to purchase and run their stories. If you want genuine unique national stories buy a national paper.
Perhaps, but the Olympics is somewhat unique in that the most recent websites have strived to over real time content. IE. you can find out the times or a marathon, swim contest, or what have you. I don't know how much this takes, but certainly 5 minute updates isn't what this is about.
It's still the best launch ever despite being launched simultaneously with the XBox and those Playstation 2s aren't too dusty yet either. Impressive nonetheless. Of course, who won in sales and of course who will win in profits. Well that's another matter.
Personally, I've found most homepages/portals simply don't feature google enough. Yahoo, no. Excite, no. MSN, no. That's why I like www.google.com. Because it features google and loads quickly

Giant Black Hole Found

· Score: 2, Interesting
And I quote:
"Working out the star's mass and orbit, they inferred a surprising mass for the black hole. It weighs about 14 times as much as our Sun. That's nearly twice as much as any other in a similar binary system. (Black holes at the centres of galaxies can be thousands of times heavier still)."
The real question is would Laptop/Cellphone "battery life" actually go up or would manufacturers just add "instant, always on, hot dog cooking functions."
My phone has a calander, phone list, to do list, and it does the list. Most phones do these days and many can sync with your desktop. That's the only problem with the watch as far as I'm concerned. It duplicates cell phone capabilities which most people carry 24x7 anyway (at least those who want PDA watches
This *could* be used for the many entities whose websites are not for a corporate audience. For example, Slashdot.biz might link to a website providing information about the history of slashdot, contact information, who owns it, how to invest, what businesses it's in etc etc.
If they are designated as software, rental prices will go through the roof, if they are films their distribution cannot be limited under copyright laws
Anyone else see this as highly unlikely? The idea that Hollywood will charge a higher price because of the determination of "what it is" is ludicrous. Hollywood will (and already has) place DVD prices at the rate they feel is most beneficial to them. It's called capitalism.
Yes, I'm ignorant about law, but I can't imagine any reason this wouldn't already be the case. What the customer is willing to pay is what will ultimately set the price.
In the past (and future) couple weeks there have been three very similar products, but only slightly different functions. Replay, Xbox and now this. What sucks is they're pretty damn expensive and they are limited to certain tasks. As far as I can tell though, they all require the same things. Processing power, a big hard drive and some proprietary parts to make things easier. But they're mostly a PC. Really, how long are we going to do this before peole realize the PC is still a better way to go. Instead of a $500 Desktop, how long is it really before we have $1500 networked server that can do all of these functions. Put a "cd reading unit" where you want you're stereo and some basic controls, but the unit in your basement throws it on a hard drive. The kids need to do their homework while you pay your bills? Plug in a new monitor. Want to record TV or play games, just purchase certain propreitary technology, but have it plug into the standard processing and HD. Yes, obviously there isn't quite enough power today to do all of these functions and wiring would be trick, but centralizing them seems the way to go and adding $2000 to a mortgage won't hurt too much. Adding net access to your workshop, kitchen, and the kids rooms for the cost of a few monitors? Priceless--err cheap;-)
How about you just merge 100 phone lines into one big mass of bandwidth. It just might be cheaper;-). I it might not be technically possible (let alone feasible), but it sounds pretty straight forward to me! Especially since I have no knowledge of this at all!
Really folks, if it's important, Mr. Postman shouldn't be delivering it. Trust me, when you come in screaming "Fire Fire Fire, we need wildfire control legislation" you get some attention. Non of this letter writing crap."
All the cool lobbyists are doing it;-).
But seriously, if you're in the area of your rep.'s home or D.C office walk it in! Not only might you get noticed, but you get to see where your congress person works. Walking through the Capitol building can even be intersting

Because NYT had a better written, longer, more detailed story. Yahoo's just a Reuters wire story.
Net gain for the consumer, cheaper prices. If Sprint can make the same QOS at a cheaper price they either.
A. Make more money
B. Lower prices as their competitors lower their prices to take market share.
I prefered Jet Figher II. Any flight sim game that you can't land on the ground and shoot missiles at building and then take off isn't a game for me. I never did get that Falcon series;-)
Actually, to me, Quake-boy sounds like he played paintball like one plays quake. There is little risk that getting shot once is going to take you out... (minus rail gun). Caution, stealth and patience are all rewarded in paintball, but not in Quake.

Not to start bashing it already, but it found my web page. Not a good sign if it thinks this could be a relevant answer to any search query.
