Not only that, but I get the exact same feature with a graph and a link to finance.yahoo.com when I search for GOOG on yahoo and a bing.com/finance link when I search for GOOG on bing.
omg they're all biased!

Worked great for Compuserve and AOL back in the day.
The way I figure it will play out, the major telcos will do it quickly followed by everyone else when Google, iTunes and Amazon cave and pay the protection money. It'll suck for 10 years or so, amazon.com and others will eventually close up shop, people will get bored with AT&TOL and go back to cable tv for their hundreds of channels of nothing important. Companies will stop buying "keywords", and when AT&TOL is begging for people to please give them a try because they put the internets in your computer, someone else will finally step up to the plate and either force cities to break their franchise agreements or manage to con the banks out of enough financing to buy up significant chunks of good wireless spectrum and start selling "the real internet". A.com boom will take off again as people discover that they can go to all sorts of websites, not just the ISP-sanctioned keywords, and we'll be back in the late 90's again before you know it... just in time for the y2038 crisis.
If some random stranger can give a kid a teddy bear with a gun, a terrorist could slip anything down the back of a bundled up.6666666667 kid.
Do we need an all out groping to combat this? Probably not, in this case the agent could easily have located where on the kid the metal was using a handheld wand, then check that specific pocket or body part.
As for objecting, the little girl was apparently objecting plenty before she even went through the metal detector.
The defenders of profiling will arrive shortly to tell us how if we just focused on the "right people", we could avoid harassing little girls and little old ladies.
Obviously she should be allowed to just go right on the plane without being checked since she's not Arabic. It's not like anyone's ever tried to smuggle a gun onto a plane in a kid's teddy bear befo... oh wait.
so why would they bother paying for such things now?...Google might seem slower
It might seem that way, but that's probably because of the throttling applied by your ISP. Don't worry, if you call and ask them about it, their staff in India are trained to explain how it must be a problem with Google, just like when Comcast started throttling torrents.
If ISPs had been upgrading their bandwidth at a regular rate, then I could suspend disbelief long enough to say that they are honestly offering "more" bandwidth. At the moment, though, ISPs don't have "more" bandwidth to offer. Therefore they must be trying to charge more to allow people to use the "same" bandwidth.
Or to put it another way: The implied threat here is that the ISPs want to send Tony the Fixer out to "fix" any packets that haven't paid the "insurance".
If you're seeding technological infrastructure, why send people at all? Send ships of robots and parts, once the robots have assembled the habitat, pressurized it, prepared gardens, located water and what not, then you send people to live there.
Plug in two mice, castrate a ball mouse to use for clicking with one hand while moving the second mouse with whatever part of his "art arm" still works.
because in that case Comcast forged traffic, they didn't limit anything. It was your network's stack response to forged packets that caused a slowdown.
To a reasonable person, that's like saying "My plastic bag over your head isn't keeping you from breathing. It's your body's response to increasing levels of carbon dioxide that's causing you to black out."
It's a cryin' shame our country is run by lawyers, rather than reasonable people.
But are they the best at both Italian and Sushi? And what if the week after I want a side order of hummus with my tacos al carbon? Am I going to get the best possible Mexican food too?
Remember, I have to stick with this "cook" for 4 years, and I have to make the choice now. I can't starve for years waiting for the perfect cook.
Maybe what government needs is a "none of the above" option, and if it wins, nobody gets the job for 4 years.
I don't see why such voters will do any different or better for "metagovernment" as the OP proposes.
As the OP proposes, the ones who only care about abortion will only vote about abortion. Everything else will be left to people who care about them. I think it could even be extended to say "I trust _____ to represent me in matters of abortion, but I think that ____ better represents my views on matters of war."
I want the health care system improved in this country as well, but being forced to buy over-priced insurance or have the IRS fine me $2000 is not what I or most people had in mind.
Then find people who are willing to take serious looks at what is wrong with it rather than insisting that they know the problem.
When you actually look at it over time, it's pretty easy to see what happened, the progression from the POV of a doctor goes something like this: "Damn, better run these 20 tests or else the patient might sue me" "Hey, I got a check for running these 20 tests. Not bad!" "Lawsuits? What lawsuits? I'm raking in the dough here, pap smears for everyone!"
I don't tell a chef in detail how to cook my dinner. I'm not as good a cook as he is (if I was better, maybe I should be a chef instead). But I can taste the results for myself. If the results are satisfactory, I'll vote for him again. If they aren't to my taste, I'll vote for someone else.
So you go to an Italian restaurant and like the food. Next week you're going to go to the same cook and order sushi?
The exact same problem exists with the party system: the Republicans may have dragged our country into two wars, presided over a major recession, gave the banks a big fat bailout so they could pay their CEOs a big fat bonus... but at least they're (mostly) anti-abortion, and that's what really counts right?
In that case, the TV companies are going to have a problem since the carriers will make sure it's disabled on all their phones so they can continue to sell their $50 5-cent cables with tiny, fragile connectors.
"I work in roads" Are you a street cleaner? civil engineer? road painter? sell rock?
Actually, they're one of those little reflective bumps in the middle of the road.
Hey, that could explain why some stretches of road I have to drive on every night with no streetlights and no painted lines have most of their reflective bumps missing: they all went on strike!
What are our elected representatives going to do to convince us they deserve to keep being paid by our tax dollars if they can't make themselves look busy by making things illegaler?!?!

Awesome site! That was exactly what I needed. Even down to the point where I admitted that I've been braindamaged by a lifetime of using CVS.
Do you even know what we're talking about here??
I'm talking about how by the time I pressed submit, the thread already had comments about how little girls shouldn't be subject to security. Take, for instance, http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1872490&cid=34257232 or say http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1872490&cid=34257726

Obviously he should have phrased it "Won't someone rid me of this meddlesome columnist?"
have an extrem form of narcism. They actually believe that the are important enough to worth that much effort
The effort required is steadily moving towards "zero". People who think they aren't interesting enough clearly have an inferiority complex.

Fellow chrome user!
See this bug here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=60057
Based on comment #10, I made a little bookmark in the bookmark bar called "Fix /." with the site
And now I can click that whenever I want to reply.

Hey! There's the guy who promised me that supporting network neutrality would get me laid!
That said the reason you only have 1 provider is probably because one company was granted a local monopoly by the government
That said, in most places the reason you have ANY provider is because the government promised they wouldn't have to compete.
because in that case Comcast forged traffic, they didn't limit anything. It was your network's stack response to forged packets that caused a slowdown.
To a reasonable person, that's like saying "My plastic bag over your head isn't keeping you from breathing. It's your body's response to increasing levels of carbon dioxide that's causing you to black out."

Such restaurants already exist.
But are they the best at both Italian and Sushi? And what if the week after I want a side order of hummus with my tacos al carbon? Am I going to get the best possible Mexican food too?
Remember, I have to stick with this "cook" for 4 years, and I have to make the choice now. I can't starve for years waiting for the perfect cook.

Then find people who are willing to take serious looks at what is wrong with it rather than insisting that they know the problem.
Take, for instance, tort reform: Texas passed the toughest tort reform in the country, so explain why McAllen, TX is in second place in healthcare spending per capita with per capita spending being greater than per capita income.
When you actually look at it over time, it's pretty easy to see what happened, the progression from the POV of a doctor goes something like this:
"Damn, better run these 20 tests or else the patient might sue me"

excuse to try to sell us yet another TV
In that case, the TV companies are going to have a problem since the carriers will make sure it's disabled on all their phones so they can continue to sell their $50 5-cent cables with tiny, fragile connectors.
