    inet news is usually (especially true for slashdot lately it seems) news is just covered up in some fancy writing and put on the front page with possiblly some annoying tittle as 'The death of Microsoft' just to find out when you read the article that some 16 year old blogger thought it would be cool to write an article about some stupid stuff he doesn't even remotely know about just to make some publicity

    I should have been more clear.

    Iron Chef America - it's Food Network's revival of the format. Studio is in the US. The 3 Iron Chefs are: Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, and Masaharu Morimoto (from the original series).
    Alton is the Dr. Hattori and Fukisan of the American version.

    Actually, I don't think that those numbers are used as you might think.

    I am a 'Neilson household', and a DirecTiVo user. Neilson contacted me /because/ I was a DirecTiVo user.

    Alton Brown (Good Eats and Iron Chef) and BSG will get my nod (in the form of season passes, and triple-thumbs-up)

    As for the initial piece that started this conversation, it's humor. Satire. Grow some skin, and move along.

    The Bush administration has been a comedy of errors on domestic and foreign policy. Remember, "Mission Complete" with President Bush flying in to the USS Reagan?

    If you want to see traffic, get your site on Drudge... or god forbid... the AOL start page.

    I was working for a company that had a customer get a co-branding deal with AOL. 2 weeks of being on the AOL start page... sustained over 400MB/Sec up from around 25MB/Sec sustained.

    You could almost tell the second the link went up on AOLs page, and when it went down... the MRTG 24 Hour View of the switch port counter was a massive square wave.
