Just because the law is wrong doesn't mean the court endorses the crime. Take Miranda vs. Arizona . Even though the rapist is freed, and precedent is set, the court isn't saying it's okay to rape someone.
Sure space is a big issue with the 2mb hotmail accounts, but I think my biggest problem with their service is speed.
You forget that e-mail takes at least 6 hours to show up in your inbox.
I've sent stuff to my Hotmail box expecting it to show up in seconds (because it's e-mail!) and it didn't show up until after its use expired.
Personally, the other big problem is the fact that remote images count against your space. If you get spam or HTML formatted e-mail the whole message is counted, not just the text.

One thing I've learned from Star Wars is this: The Universe is made up of insects, bears, crustaceans and various reptiles.
It should also be noted that Alan Keyes thinks it would be a good idea to repeal the 17th Amendment.
This, for those who don't know, would make the state legislature elect (U.S.) Senators instead of the people. Why? Likely because he is behind in the polls also.
But this seems like a bad idea to me for a number of reasons:
I may like Republicans to run my state, but not the U.S. Congress. Makes it hard to have it both ways. People already feel under represented, this would make it worse. Puts Senate choices and debate behind closed doors (I believe)
I just recently quit smoking marijuana by replacing it with coffee. One pot for another I guess.
Considering I would smoke upon awakening, made sense and was easier than expected. Alters your perception like marijuana a bit too, kinda fun at first.
Imagine how much more stuff got done (and how many more Slashdot posts were made).
It was all easier than I thought it would be considering I smoked 'the dope' for about 6 years almost non-stop.
Again, my opponent and I have different approaches. I proposed, and the Congress overwhelmingly passed, 87 billion dollars in funding needed by our troops doing battle in Afghanistan and Iraq. My opponent and his running mate voted against this money for bullets, and fuel, and vehicles, and body armor. When asked to explain his vote, the Senator said, "I actually did vote for the 87 billion dollars before I voted against it." Then he said he was "proud" of that vote. Then, when pressed, he said it was a "complicated" matter. There is nothing complicated about supporting our troops in combat. -President Bush RNC 2004
I'm not trying to 'bait here either (and I admit I'm biased). This line has been used over and over and the (dumb mass of) American people have not been told that is how Congress works. Think about it, someone (Republicans, the majority) had to vote against it before they voted for it. Otherwise, there would be no second vote. Right?
It's been covered on the "blogosphere", at least on the left side, but it has not made it to the mainstream media. No one has asked Bush if he knows how Congress works, or if he's seen "I'm Just A Bill".
Sure, the blogosphere put Dan Rather in check, but when will they put the entire mainstream media in check? When will they force them to actually ask some real questions? I'm ashamed to say this, but I find Meet The Press seems to do this best... but even now and then they throw softies.
I fail to see how Opera is a viable choice considering that Mozilla and Safari are free (as in beer).
I'm being completely serious here mind you. Opera will fill a niche market, but that is how Netscape "died". Internet Explorer was free, and un-bundled in the beginning. Being a Microsoft product it was favored by the masses.
Now that Mozilla is gaining word of mouth marketshare it will again be the standard. Opera will not last long, all IMHO.
After all, how many people want ads IN their browser.
He told everyone that he could do, say 100, different dialects and accents but when they name easy ones he says; "Sorry, I can't do that one, next". And proceeds not to be able to do any.
don't be fooled by the fact that Shareaza measures its download speeds in bits rather than bytes by default
Actually, I like this because my ISP sold me the service in bits per second, not bytes per second... makes it easier on the brain to know if I'm stressing the connection enough.

If your e-mail is connected with sharing Terminator then all they have to do is ask Microsoft to tell them who pir8moovies@hotmail.com is. To make Microsoft play along all they have to say is that they've shared Microsoft Office as well.
To make things worse, many people tie their Hotmail (Passport) accounts to their Windows machines.
Gnutella still rocks, Gnutella2 (G2) allows for better search results and eDonkey is another option for those of you who want to expand your options.
Granted, it doesn't work *great* with eDonkey, but I've downloaded quite a few files from eDonkey users fine. And having one interface for Bittorrent and a normal P2P is nice.
I don't know if that is true, but I know that Nixon devoted 1/3 of his 1971 State of The Union on the environment and started/supported creation of the EPA.

Chimps wrote the software that runs these machines, of course they can hack it.
At least there will be music to play after 0wning a machine.

you are now on my "Friends List" whatever that does.

How could this really be Flamebait?
It's the same damn thing the topic is about.
When I read this in Wired a while back I was really suprised, at the time I believed Sun to be a "good" company...
McNealy is known to keep a "decapitated penguin" on his desk...
Is this a suprise?

No, only one is:

(I accidentially copied another thing while yelling at my cats, oops)
Phil's death is still something I can't really believe. Someone who made us all laugh that much didn't deserve to go the way he did.
But, on a lighter note... If you like Hartman, get his SNL "Best Of". Granted, it doesn't have classics such as him playing Clinton when he smashes the podium as he learns of 'Spock' endorsing Tsongas, but it has his audition. (BTW, if you have the script for this sketch, please submit it to this site. It's one of my all time favorites.)

Or does the new iMac with it's cover off look similar to a SEGA Dreamcast with it's cover removed?

Shareaza allows eDonkey, Gnutella, Gnutella2 (Their extension) and even Bittorrent.
It's now open source (GPL), and has a SourceForge project.
Gnutella still rocks, Gnutella2 (G2) allows for better search results and eDonkey is another option for those of you who want to expand your options.
Granted, it doesn't work *great* with eDonkey, but I've downloaded quite a few files from eDonkey users fine. And having one interface for Bittorrent and a normal P2P is nice.
You're right. Seems silly to have a device which only shows JPEG and Bitmaps (BMP).
I guess if you want to have album covers displayed on screen it's good... but where is XviD support?
I don't know if that is true, but I know that Nixon devoted 1/3 of his 1971 State of The Union on the environment and started/supported creation of the EPA.
