So we are supposed to assume sight unseen that those are going to be better? Why? And many bought Todd's book months ago.

It's not all the information, and you have to take Cochrane's style and limited viewpoint with a big grain of salt, but it'll get you started. For less than twenty bucks, at least it isn't a high-risk investment.
Which is probably the most anyone can ask for of any podcasting book.
In all the years of reading Slashdot, this is easily the worst review I have ever read.
Today, it's illegal to copy a videocassette. No one has a fair use to copy a videocassette. If you lose it, you get another one, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's what people have been doing for generations.
He's definitely not a communist, but he is an idiot.
He devoted his time as Terrorism Czar to preventing a Digital Pearl Harbor. And while he worried that the sky was falling, planes were crashing into buildings. He was a perfect example of why you shouldn't let an amateur try to do the job of a professional.
If Bill Gates is smart, he will ignore him the same way that Bill Clinton did.
The Treaty has been a dead issue since before it ratified. The joke is that Bush couldn't get it through the Senate if he wanted to. Al "Earth in the Balance" Gore proved that.
Saddam Hussein's regime has opened talks with Osama bin Laden, bringing closer the threat of a terrorist attack using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, according to US intelligence sources and Iraqi opposition officials. The key meeting took place in the Afghan mountains near Kandahar in late December. - Saddam link to Bin Laden
Oh, and check out what Janet Reno has to say about the threat of WMD.
Every time I have had a problem with Firefox, I have always been able to solve it by deleting the default profile and creating a new one. It always seem to be something that got corrupted over several version upgrades. I have put 1.0 on numerous machines and not had a moment's trouble.
The Democrats have the best legislator on the issue, Rick Boucher. But they also have the worst, Howard Berman. There are good Republicans like Lamar Smith and bad ones like Orrin Hatch. Neither party has a stellar record on the issue.
Kyoto was DOA when it was written and it will never, ever pass in the United States under any circumstances. Let's get back to a serious discussion... like the social value of GTA.
Not everyone in Florida has been waiting for this. The existence of the project was a result of a bunch of uninformed voters (something Florida has gained a reputation for somehow) who went in the voting booth and voted yes on a plethora amendments they either didn't read or didn't understand.
Fortunately, some of the State Constitutional changes have already been rolled back and others will be in the future. But until it is...
We are stuck with this colossal monstrosity of a plan. It may serve people of the major metro areas (Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami and everyone's favorite hotspot, Pensacola) but will do little or nothing for those of us who live outside of those areas. I am two hours away from the nearest train station in whatever route I choose to travel, and can't see driving two hours to get on a train, anyway.
The whole situation makes an eloquent case for republics over democracies.

Did you actually read the Wikipedia article you linked to?
"Johnson resigned before his Senate trial"
According to Wikipedia, "President Johnson was acquitted of all charges by a single vote in the Senate."
No President has ever been convicted by the Senate and only Nixon has been removed from office.
Since no had actually linked the Fork comment, http://groups.google.com/group/wp-hackers/browse_thread/thread/bdced7524fa79a18/f8b5bc6efc4a4005#f8b5bc6efc4a4005

Maybe they believe it because he was.

It wasn't that they were convinced he had values, it was that they could see that his opponent obviously had none.
