Salon's problem is the same that liberal radio hosts (and to a similar extend liberal tv host - see Donhaue) faced.
They don't offer any compelling reason to watch or listen to them long term. Usually the methodlogy followed was to attack instead of offering alternatives. People aren't going to pay to see you whine about stuff, even if they tend to agree with it. The left just doesn't support outlets like Salon.
Salon did try to veer back to the center but they stayed left so long that they really could not convince people to look again.
So now what? We are to feel sorry for them because they have to resort to such tactics to stay in business? I look at these types as ads as the flares of a sinking ship.
Too bad its the Titanic and no one is around to rescue them
Yahoo is providing a service here in the form of email. That provides a logical reason for someone to want to pay them.
They are not charging for content, that is what fails. Many places that gave it away do find themselves in a lurch when they think they can charge for it. The problem most of those sites have is that they don't offer a compelling reason to pay.
and what does a browser have to do with this anyway?
I didn't see the requirement to bash.
Insigthful only because the current mods hate Ms as much as you and refused to grade you off topic as deserved.
Actually, your point is well taken. Most people are using Windows because the real arrogant assholes are on the other side chiding them for their choice. You aren't going to win converts by simply slamming the other side. You just as might as well concentrate all your hate against Jeb... seems to work as well doesn't it.
Tell it to a family friend that had to pay to fly to the US for heart surgery because he was put on a waiting list in the BC. According to his own doctor that waiting list what his death certificate. Where do most Canadians go for heart care?
It is also amazing what is considered elective surgery under socialized medice. Reconstructive knee surgey, 6 month wait - even if you can walk and the damage gets worse as you wait.
Crumbling hospitals, ask the UK.
the US health costs are out of control not because we don't have socialized medicine but because trial lawyers are draining the system dry. Without tort reform even socialized medicine will get clobbered. So, why is it that Democrat proposed socialized medicine would clamp down suits but until then they say its unfair to limit damages? Simple, they want to break the system.
Given the choice of socialized to what the US has, after getting the real stories from friends of family AND family - forget it, I will stick with the US system
An airplane with 100 mile range, goes great with your car's 100 mile range, and your tax-payer paid for Ginger's 18 mile range.
Fortunately I doubt the public will get soaked for this ludicrous attempt. We already get soaked with special tax breaks and such for electric cars and its obvious Segways were only developed to be sold to Government. (who else would blow 8k on something with so little use except to haul overweight bureaucrats around?)
Batteries are a dead-end option for helping the environment. Far better to call them coal-fired future environmnetal hazards!
Amazing, we had a 100 mile range car in the late 20s or early 30s, are we just that stupid to keep going this route?
Secondly, there are many items that would never be in need of remote control as many have many manual operations to do before actually use them.
Areas that I find valid are.
1. Lighting 2. Heating/Cooling 3. Changing temperature of hot water heater 4. Garage doors. 5. Perhaps windows that open/close automatically? 6. Ovens for preheat. 7. Coffee makers, setup in advance, but we have timers for this. 8. Gas Fireplaces 9. Perhaps, being able to remotely shut off the gas in the house or water would be a safety benefit. 10. Alarm clocks, won't have to go back upstairs to turn it off, after all you got so used to the snooze button you forgot it actually has an off switch. 11. Turning off ringers on the phones. 12. Forcing the anwsering machine to pickup. 13. Remote start of television recording. 14. Music and/or Tv (background noise)
But not the majority of kitchen appliances:) - or vacumns, unless just to spook your pets.
One case the combines a lot of his "required features" is the PC-60 by Lian Li. ( http://www.lian-li.com )
This is by far the best case I have purchased and one of the lightest as well (http://www.lian-li.com/product.php?action=viewPD& prdid=367 )
Tom's site is okay, but some of their reviews / guides seem as if they were hurried as they don't have many example items, this case review is one of them.
Anand has a handy index of all of his case reviews, ( http://www.anandtech.com/searchresults.html?topic= 201&action=listarticles )
Finally Dan's Data did a good write up on these cases http://www.dansdata.com/llmisc.htm
Get Real. Someone hits you in the arm or leg with a AK47 M16 or any other weapon and you will be damn lucky to be firing back, let alone mobile.
CS is as real as pac man is. The Army has the right track, too many stupid people playing CS think its a close representation of real combat. Nothing could be further from the truth.
At least in their games we won't have powerups popping up... or my favorite first person shooter gaffe - shooting people only to have them fall forward or straight down. Of course this could backfire as well, people might not want to join the Army after seeing that its not all that different from a real job.
It is also possible that they may run afoul of Congress, after all all that violence has got to be bad. Figure some Congressional Democrats will scream about it and the anti-2nd Amendment crowd will be there soon.
Matrox doesn't actually have a good history of getting cards out in a decent time frame. Figure that by the time this card is actually available (anyone remember the g400? how many months did it take to get one after it supposedly became available?) it will be irrelevant.
The next problem is that Matrox ruined their reputation in my eyes with the G200 by lieing about OpenGL. Lieing about how they were going to have it in November, then December, and so on... they kept this up until they announced the G400 and then suddenly the g200 was a no-go.
Ever since the G400 series it seems Matrox has been coming up with feature laden cards... trouble was no one asked for the features they chose to offer. Now they added even more features and a buttload of performance to boot. Yet as before, GF5 will be announced about the time this card is supposed to ship, and most likely be in stores at the same time.
They may have sold the investors on HP+COMPAQ=IBM but previous experience shows that X + COMPAQ X seems more true.
I would be surprised if it only cost 15 thousand jobs as they have a lot of overlap in products. Consider also that most of this overlap isn't exactly in a profitable area (PC and PC peripheals)
I think its best HP bought Compaq and not the other away around. The key to the merger will be how much control HP maintains over the process...
So they are just going to set the stage. They will use a process similar to what political parties do. Repeat something often enough and the general public will believe it.
It is no secret AOL/Time Warner is in a mess. Hence they are bound to do anything which will possibly allow them to setup a future lawsuit.
Sorry, I know people who work there. It is not rocket science, its simple retail. To expect any retailer to pay more than the local wage for such work is nothing short of ignorance. At least they CAN get medical benefits. It seems Congress only attempts to make it more unaffordable as each week goes by. It *IS* Congress that will make health benefits for the lower income people even less affordable, that is their goal. They want to make sure employers like WALMART cannot afford to provide it. Why? Simple, Congress (read DNC) wants the government to control health care. The easy way to do it is to make it unaffordable for corporations to do it.
Sorry, that article is the typical mud slinging crap that always shows up. Walmart is successful, and those that I do know who work there are just happy as can be. Apparently they know they are not going to get paid 60k a year... and don't feel they deserve to.
The "special version" of windows runs on specific hardware, it doesn't have to account for x-zillion different configurations. Just like one could say the XBOX is a stripped down windows one has to realize that its stripped down because they KNEW exactly what they had to deal with.
How much smaller could you make Linux if you were only running on something like an XBOW or ATM machine? I am pretty damn sure you could chuck a significant portion.
The key problem with the States proposed solution is they don't know what they are asking for, let alone know dick about technology. To be so stupid as to label Office as "middleware" should throw red-flags up for everyone!.
I enjoy being able to write CDRs with XP, but that would most likely be ripped from a streamlined system as the definition of "middleware" that the states has is "vaporous" at best.
Gates was right, it is "technically" possible. Anything with is mostly "technically" possible, the question is, is it "marketable"?
Amazon does a lot to get their name out. So its very reasonable that most people would tend to look towards them for books.
Ask people off the street where they would buy books on the internet... and your bound to get many replies of Amazon or "I don't know".
I suppose by their logic that the only place to be on the web is AOL... but on the street you could get that response as well.
Advertising does pay. Links on the net may lean towards one provider over another, but most of them were bought by one method or not.
One reason the rich get richer is because they are optimist, they are willing to do it now. The best time to start a business is always TODAY... the best time to get your name out there is ALWAYS today.
Recent studies have shown that the Amazon river outputs an excessive amount of CO2. If that river outputs as much as it does then other rivers can be assumed to also expend CO2.
This means that the old "cliche" that combustion engines account for half of all CO2 are total bunk. They need to go back to the chalkboard and figure out just how much mother Earth actually does herself. While man does impact the system we give ourselves far too much credit for just how much an effect we can have.
The problem with the ever present "ancient civilizations" theorey is the course of our own civilization.
Working of metals from early bronze days to the industrial revolution was really only possible because the raw ores themselves were either found on the surface or very near it. Even with a glacial age it would not explain the preponderance of such ores in many areas (some of which would not have been affected by glacial ice)
Let alone the fact that some of the advanced metals (or not so advanced - your choice) that we have today will easily survive glacial ice or be found in such quantity to reveal that "something" did exist.

Do I need to say more?
It works for everything I need it to do and I don't have to nor do I give a rats arse how it does it.
No Compelling reason to switch.
It all looks good until you live under it.

Ever notice that when insurance companies get forced to cover something the occurence of that something increases to exceptional numbers?
Gee....
Heaven knows they have a copy of MS's book on corporate behaviour when it comes to competitors.
Bad for Intel probably means good for the industry, as we won't have another half-assed chip shoved down our throats.

The only thing that holds back the US in space is the budget its given. If you look at it now we hardly spend anything on space.
If you could get a tenth of the pork in the budget into NASA they could pay for the trip easily.
Too bad thats all they did.
