The karma seemed like a really good idea at the time -- the feature list is impressive. (Personally, I dug the ability to synch via ethernet with a java applet.) The Karma fell apart pretty, quickly, though. Decent manufacturing standards are, apparently, not Rio's forte.
Glad I bought the extended warranty.
The interface on the ipod is just perfect. It just works right... unlike the karma.
I've tried most of the major brands out there and while I'd still buy another Creative Labs product -- my nomad jukebox was giant in comparison, but an industrial strength workhorse -- but I will never buy another Rio product again. It just isn't worth the headache.
I know, I know... you want to go with the underdog. Trust me -- the ipod really does rule.
There are a ton of talking heads these days talking about politics... but very few talking about just what it is the government does, day to day.
I recently started a site called coolgov.com that looks at a different aspect of government activities every day. Where do the taxes go? The influence of government on life in America is profound... and it seems like there's almost an infinite number of good resources to talk about.
I should point out that we are strictly non-political... we're not activists or anything like that.
That's kinda what I was thinking. I'd be happy to do a test implementation to see if we can make it work...
why not nntp for syndication?

I always thought that syndicators should take advantage of the current distributed architecture of the newsgroups to syndicate their content... but hey, maybe that's just me. The only real problem is one of authentication -- since you're downloading content from a publicly accessible source one would have to come up with some clever way of making sure you're grabbing content from the author you choose.
Perhaps... I think it was my project OpenRealty that got forked. (Not that I mind... working full time, I didn't have any time to support it -- one of the reasons it was GPL.)
For whatever it's worth, we're unifying as many of the branches as we can right now at www.open-realty.org. See my announcment on my site...
I hate to break it to you, but the only BLO hack was a social engineering one. No actual Barbies/GI Joes were actually hacked -- the entire thing was a hoax aided and abetted by a willing media who accepted the BLO video press releases without verifying the story.
It's weird -- all these articles, mentioning p2p systems very few people actually use (gnutella, freenet, scour, etc...)... when the biggest and most successful one, Hotline, almost never receives any ink. The protocol has even been successfully reverse-engineered, and there are linux clients/servers available.... is there some kind of conspiracy of silence afoot? Don't get me wrong -- I don't want The Man to find out about it, but if we're going to have all these discussions....

Maybe whatchoo need is an OfficePoltergeist....
they'd know when to keep their mouths shut about such things.
I'm also a Tempe resident... and I think this is going to be sweet! Keep up the good work and let me know if I can be of service...
Dude.... I just got rid of my karma for an ipod.

A friend, for instance, runs infidels.org, a secular website with about 6000 documents in its library.
