So its a new Web 2.0-esque masturbation party where people can chat with avatars, instead of on AIM or god forbid, calling them on the phone. Its overcrowded, underpowered, full of spam, and doesn't offer anything compelling. Do we pimp everything Google does? Does the term "Google fanboy" suddenly have meaning?
He wont lose any significant support, since nobody knows what FISA is anyways. Sally Soccermom wants Change, and knows that The Iraq is evil, and Obama is more attractive than McCain, so he'll win.
A bit tongue-in-cheek, but I'm also serious here - what is the benefit of having thousands of geeks compiling the same code over and over, when you can download 1 binary distribution and be done? If you sum up the manhours of all this compilation, the power consumed by countless hard drives and processors churning away, whats the point? Just so you can have a 64bit Firefox that Flash won't run on? A 686-optimized kernel, connected to the Internet via 768 kbit DSL?
The controller didn't "rescue itself", it did not provide its GPS coordinates, or address. They just found its wireless signal using the cell towers. Duh.
This means that the vast majority of society, the parasites who know nothing other than consume, consume, consume, will finally wither and die on the vine. As the world's overloaded infrastructure breaks down, governments will either disintegrate into anarchy, or police states. The trick will be to live in a country that chooses anarchy. Only then will people have the perspective to realize what a mess that they've voted into existence, and perhaps start again on better footing. A little revolution now and then, is a healthy thing.
It is just you. There are literally billions of people who have not heard of WoW, a MacBook, or your parents' basement. There IS a whole world out there, you know, in that room outside the server room, where the sky is sometimes blue and sometimes black with little white led lights, where the HVAC is on the blink half the time. You know that big room?
What the hell is Windows 7, and other than a new desktop theme, why would I ever want it? Same viruses, same stupid Windowsisms, same IE-is-secretly-your-WM-and-vice-versa crap. What compelling features will it have ?
People are confusing the Web with Usenet. To prevent people from reading child porn on Usenet is easy - you simply don't allow external news servers (which the big boys probably are already blocking), and then you make the choice to NOT subscribe your internal news servers to the porn channels.
The point is that the state Attorneys General don't care - bigger fish to fry, golden goose, etc. They have limited resources, do you want them going after crack dealers or bandwidth shapers?

Your understanding of the carbon cycle = FAIL.
tremendous energy density, easy to transport, not even hazardous when spilled, near-identical performance to diesel /50 mpg in my VW
So after all this time, with all the shenanigans that went on, he can recover her body? Talk about a robust journalling algorithm !
"...it might take a week to get everything installed..."
Do you save that week in performance later?

Welcome to the new demographic, at least for the next 25 years.
Seriously Taco, do you edit video every day to the point where you a) had to mention it and b) the placement of the USB connectors killed it for you?
Nice to sound 1337 and all 2.0, but give it a rest. I'm sure if it had an Apple logo on it, you would have eventually returned it all sticky.
...but am unfamiliar with it...
Ah, the signs of our times. I must be getting old. I bet you don't know what rn is either.
Once again, Soccer Mommy and her credit-fueled purchasing power wins the day.

Right, I heard DNF runs best on that.

So if I understand this right, its a sort of forum where people with similar ideas can communicate and contribute?
"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."
This is about as good an indicator as the phrase "best practice" that the speaker is a douche.
The real Drudge site links directly to stories, and doesn't keep "snippets" or other content. This guy needs to wise up.
Did anyone actually think CAN-SPAM would actually help?

People confuse where responsibility lies.

This lawsuit will bring focus to the issue.
Can anyone summarize what this means, for those of us stuck behind firewalls?
Note to Google: blogspot is probably not the best place to put real stuff, however "Web 2.0" it may be.
Except the EEE IS x86 compatible.
