I believe that's what SharpReader does. One thing I personally do is adjust the refresh rate for each feed from the one hour default. There's no point in banging on a feed every hour when it changes a few times a week.
One good idea would be for the protocols to allow each feed to suggest a default refresh rate. That way slow changing or overloaded sites could ask readers to slow down a little. A minimum refresh warning rate would be good too. (i.e. Refreshing faster than that rate might get you nuked.) I know that some things are already in the protocols, but a better set of Netiquette for Blogreaders would be a good idea.

A modest proposal: Add mark-up to domain names. Then you could have slashdot.org, slashdot.org and slashdot.org as different domains. Add in fonts and colour, and the numbers are huge! (I'd want to register microsoft.com in green Barf-Bold, but their lawyers might object.)
Yes, good link. It was the "continuous" that I objected to. Even in the pre-patched NT, it was only predictable (with enough resources and bandwidth). It still needs a lot of improvement (as do others) but in no way is it "easy if the destination web server runs Windows". Also, all the attempts would be as noticable as a DDOS attack.
FUD isn't pretty no matter who's the target. (MS makes enough real bone-head mistakes without inventing ones.)
"using some of the most advanced spam techniques for years"
Not that there's anything new about extending the non-meat product uses of spam, but I'm not sure it really applies to this. Most spam involves pushing your message at people in an automated (and annoying) way. This is about people sucking down advertising in an automated way. It's gaming the system to make money fast, annoying to companies like Google, but I don't see that it has the central quality of spam: in your face, over and over and over...
A reality distortion field strength of 1.0 Jobs can be hazardous to your health. However, experts disagree on the long-term effects or danger from background micro- or pico-Jobs fields.
And gee, Michael Jackson (owner of publishing rights to many of the Beatles songs) probably wouldn't be where he is today if he'd known...
Sonny Bono was also the congressman from Scientology. A number of works of Elron Hubbard were due to escape their control without the new law. (Joining some already gone because of messed up registrations.) It was rumoured that Sonny was also leaving them before he died.
Some places with more budget than sense made them their standard development platform for developing stuff to run on smaller machines.
In the early 90s, the company I was at was interested in PC-GEOS to run their Windows app on older PCs. The SUN workstation required (at the time) for the development suite kind of killed that idea. (It was a contractual obligation death-march project and couldn't get expensive toys like that. Poot.)
IBM didn't really underestimate where the PC was going, but internal politics tried to put the genie back in the bottle. Their minicomputer division saw it and didn't want their product line obsoleted. As a result, IBM was slow to release a 386 machine which let compatable clone makers establish themselves as brand names.
The IBM PC was significately more powerful than the C64. Even from our current god-like perspective that one ant still looks a bit larger than the other.:)

I really really doubt this. (Maybe in Win 3.1.) Sources for this factoid?
What they really means is "Microsoft can't have it for MSN! Nyah nyah!"

Pretty soon they'll be on milk-cartons too: "Have you seen this 404?"
Don't worry! Now that Scientology is trying to increase their presense in Tampa, I'm sure that they'll add cameras like their 100+ in Clearwater.
I'll wait for the edited "good parts" version: Citizens Gone Wild!
Originally Mike Godwin called it "Godwin's Rule". I'm not sure at what point it morphed into a law.
This time I thought you had to go to hell and rescue Carmen Sandiego. That way they can sell it as educational software.
And they're threatening to sue 1998 if it doesn't shut up.

It's worse than that.

If we're talking about computer geeks, then Klingon or Elvish will be more common.

How do you wildly underhype something? (Or even wildly underutilize or underimplement.) Does it involve caffeinated valium?

What, why is everyone looking at me like that?
