When mine was upgraded to 32K I thought that would be more space than I would ever need.
In addition to David Ahl's BASIC games book (remember Hammurabi?) I had a subscription to a monthly cassette full of software. It was probably a program on the latter that only POKEd a small portion of the screen, but as a result was able to POKE quickly enough that you got a different character on each scan line, allowing for slightly more varied graphics - in that small portion.
By all means, celebrate Amy Goodman's charges being dropped. But did you know there are many other journalists also facing charges for covering the pipeline resistance?
I use Pinboard, which doesn't sync to browsers at all, though it does import from them and there are extensions for most(all?) browers. It has excellent tagging capabilities. Every once in a while I switch browsers or do a fresh install of one, over time set up the bookmark toolbar. In theory it would be nice to have that stored in Pinboard, but on the other hand being forced to rethink what I most want easy access to can be a good thing. Having a different set that sync to mobile would be good.
With a monthly fee, Pinboard archives all of the pages you bookmark, so that handles dead links very well, and as we've all learned by now I hope, if we like a service we're usually better off paying for it than suffering ads, or the buyout from some giant corporation that will end or ruin it.
The managing that I would really like to see is the ability to view bookmarks based on tag in a graphical way with overlapping circles (think Venn diagram), and edit the tags on a bookmark simply by dragging it from one part of he overlapping circles to another.

What is this effect? "Post about 'Go' in a chess thread for +5 syndrome?" It's funny that this exact same message, more or less, has made +5 in the last 4 or 5 chess stories.
These molecules were named right (fullerenes) doubly: first for their resemblance to Bucky's famous dome structures, and second for their persistent versatility -- who expected non-metallic magnetism? or superconductivity?
IANALOC (Lawyer or Cryptologist), but is a good precedent the lockpick laws? The laws may differ from state to state, but in [[Massachusetts]] it's something like...
It's not illegal to know how to pick locks. It's not illegal to have lock-picking tools. It's not illegal to pick a lock (unless you're trespassing of course). But it is illegal to pick a lock with intent to steal, murder, or break some other law.
The interesting thing is that both Christian and Muslim fundamentalists are so similarly critical of American culture.
I actually agree with them to the extent that i'm all for having more spirituality in public life. But of course to me that means many different belief systems...

I am willing to defend my way of life.
My way of life is to not retaliate when attacked. My way is to find out why i am being attacked and try to help the situation that has produced such pain, including changing my behavior if it is a part of the problem.
It's not clear to me what i can do in this situation to defend my way of life.

The AIs will be taught ethics, including just war theory, and decide for themselves whether to attack and whom.

Two documentarians facing decades in prison.
Four Unicorn riot journalists facing charges in North Dakota and Iowa, and another was arrested on Saturday as part of the largest set of arrests in one incident to date.

Yes, mod this up! Perhaps the most disturbingly true post in the thread.
ObTopic, it is actually an excellent idea, presuming of course these lawyers can be kept at bay.

Here's a fairly complete list of current and past efforts at this sort of thing (and since it's a wiki, feel free to help make it more complete).
I was just looking for my black hole this morning. Thanks for the heads up - i called the researchers and they're sending it back to me Fed Ex.
Next thing we'll all be swallowed up by a black hole.

You could probably build something on top of Zope (which comes with a ZWiki component), and might find gZigZag interesting.
Tinderbox, and Userland's products, though not open/free, are two other platforms to build on or learn from.
Usemod is another popular wiki, and there are dozens more WikiEngines, many of them licensed open/free.
There's also the book, The Wiki Way.

Newer has also announced such an upgrade.
PikiePikie is another possibility, a GPL wiki simple enough to hack on yourself (Python), and it also can put a weblog on any page.
You might also find my Wiki Weblog PIM page of interest, it links to many relevant resources.
