I don't see how they can be called a one-hit wonder. They have their search engine, then google maps, froogle, picasa photo sharing, labs, scholar (for research papers and such), google answers, language translation, newsgroups, local business information, and much much more.
I know many disagree with me on this, but personally I think that open WIFI networks is a very good thing.
Hey, why not? The government does such a great job protecting our data as it is that I'm sure opening their networks would present not security problems whatsoever.
As long as you're getting free internet access, it's all worth it.
They're getting a service performed on their old car, not getting a new car. I don't know how California works it, but there's no tax on mechanic services in most states. If your restoration has the same VIN, it's the same car.
But they get more than just car parts. They sometimes get TVs, game systems, etc. added to the car. It's more than just service.
That's a bullshit argument. But if you want to take that line of reasoning a little further, you paid them to produce crap. And you're still paying them for crap. And since 'you are paying their salaries', you are responsible for the crap they put out. Thanks a bunch.
people living in rural communities, where broadband is still non-existant, would be paying thousands each to fund access for their school.
And why, exactly, do school need to have internet access? Actually, why do they have internet access at all? What part of a K-12 education is helped by the internet? Yes, there can be a lot of good information on the 'net, but there's a lot of half-truths and outright lies as well. Is about the equivalent of using the National Enquirer as a source.

are you saying that the film only got good in the last 10 minutes
The last 10 minutes weren't exactly perfect, either. One word: Noooooooooooooooooo!

And how many of those are hits?
One.
Here's a search you might wanna try.

Best thing about XM:
O & A Party Rock!
This positive feedback system has only one outcome.
A positive outcome?
Must have been full of PCB's
Those printed circuit boards can be pretty scary.
Where in the Constitution is this right to secede?
States are not forbidden from leaving the union. Therefore they have the power to do so.
It did have the result of ENDING SLAVERY in North America. That is a pretty large victory for human rights.
Well, so long as the ends justify the means. Hey, we did stop Saddam, too.
the section is not worded specifically enough
With the current legal climate, nothing ever is.
It's an amendment to existing law where it's already defined at 14 miles.

It's cute to see such naivety still on the internet. Never played any MMORPGs, huh?
Don't get your panties in a bunch.
From the article:
"I'm what you might call a disgruntled spouse" and "I remember that they asked him"
So, unless they (meaning both, not using a plural pronoun for a single person) live in Massachusetts, chances are the article was written by a woman.
We're the subscriber, *we* pay their salaries.

what is the difference?????????????
At first I didn't agree with your point of view, but the sixth, and especially the ninth, question marks really turned me around.

Now the fun thing to point out is that the payment of such taxes MUST be voluntary otherwise Amendment XIII applies.
But since 16 comes after 13, it doesn't matter. Newer supercedes older.
I work in the rental industry
So you work at Blockbuster?
duke nukem hasn't had a 'date' in what, 6 years?
/. readers...
That still beats most
calling most of the world's population stupid
/.ers think that way about Windows users?
And how many
He said Longhorn, not Hurd.
One thing nobody's pointed out yet (at least that I've noticed) is that people do much more writing now than they used to, thanks to the Internet.
LOL! u r so rite!!!!
Television is an evil cult who has taken over the minds of the world and turned them into pliable citizens of a new world order.
Don't forget your hat.
but unfortunately I can't prove it because I don't have the tapes..." then what?
Too bad. The burden of proof should always be on the accuser. If you can't back up your claims then you shouldn't be making them.
