Then, using your browser (any browser; I use Firefox, you can use whatever you want) go to the amazon.ca home page. Or go to Slashdot. Or Google. Or just close the browser. You've been signed out of Amazon.
The sign-out instructions are telling you how to get back to the Amazon home page after you log out, sending a signal to the next person using the computer that you were never logged in to Amazon.

When you click "Sign out" you're logged out. That's one step. Because you saved your login in Firefox, your username and password are prepopulated with your locally-saved values. Most web sites, including Slashdot, send you to a login page when you log out; if you saved your user/pass in Firefox they'll be prepopulated there too.

Do you wear your watch to sleep? Before you go to bed you put your watch in the charger on your nightstand and by the time you wake up the battery is full. That's how I remember to charge my phone. Sure, watches don't normally need to be charged so frequently, but most watches don't have Bluetooth chips in them...
I responded to the statement that "News.com is the proud owner of Myspace.com - Competition with youtube with their new video streaming network."
News.com does not own MySpace.com. The poster to whom I was replying confused News.com, a property of CNET Networks, with News Corporation, the parent of MySpace.
If you want to know about blah blah make one immune to lawsuits blah blah having lots of money and a big mouth make one immune to lawsuits, ask a lawyer, not some dude on Slashdot.
I have a Gameday Audio subscription and I can use Firefox/Windows to listen to games. Using the Mac is hit-or-miss since the Flip4Mac plugin for QuickTime doesn't work with the Flash-based controls MLB uses. It's enough to make me pine for RealPlayer which at least worked on all the major platforms (and even supports pausing live streams whereas WMP doesn't).
The saddest part of this is that MLB.TV is considered the best online broadcasting company for sports out there, so much so that they actually license the technology to other organizations.
Now I can enjoy Sunday Night Baseball Presented By Taco Bell without all the irritating updates to "get constant alerts on your ESPN Mobile phone." Even Jon Miller, who I'm sure was offered a free ESPN Mobile phone, mocked that toss-over phrase on-air.
ESPN has been totally desperate to promote this thing. "ESPN Mobile brings you the newest ESPN Mobile alerts on your very own ESPN Mobile device enhanced with ESPN Mobile technology!"
Songs are 79 points. If you buy 80 points for $1, that's $0.9875. If you buy 1600 points for $20, that's... $0.9875. (OK, sometimes the points cards go on sale.)
"The old invite a friend to join thing" is exactly what Google did with Orkut, what Friendster did, and what every other site does if they don't want millions of spambots creating accounts. (And if spambots DO create accounts, you have handy chains that you can use to ban them en masse.)
Secondly, there's already a cottage industry of layouts, graphics, etc., for sale on MySpace. Microsoft wants to tap into it firsthand, is all.
Phew. For a minute there I thought something awful had happened to the former morning guy on WXDX/105.9 "The X" radio in Pittsburgh. How ever would Alan have checked his MySpace page when not debating politics with local alternative rock fans?
VBA. (OpenOffice has its own scripting language, but you would be amazed how much is done with VBA that has to be rewritten in StarBasic.)
Also Excel 2007 will support larger worksheets (65k columns x 1M rows) than OpenOffice did. OOo didn't even support 65k rows (the current limit of Excel 2003) until version 2.0.
Blah blah databases are better blah blah open source blah blah.

I once tried to drive after playing F-Zero X for several hours.
Fortunately, a Dodge Intrepid tops out at well below 1300 km/hr, and it doesn't have "boost power."

12/31/06. It's a marketing promo and was clearly stated as such.

"Here, let's make it clear: I AM BIASED ." -- michael, in an unusually long Slashdot post detailing the fact that he's been hired.
Funny how there wasn't a word spoken officially when he got canned a short while ago.
You could have pulled a David Phillips and found a way to get tons of miles for a mere $0.0018 per mile (after a tax deduction; $0.0025/mile before).
Dear sir,
News Corporation owns MySpace.
CNET Networks owns News.com.
Have fun with your lawsuit.
Sincerely,
Me
Nonsense. They can just monetize the sticky eyeballs with dynamic, microtargeted ad units.
It worked for TheGlobe.com, didn't it?
The Zoo-nee competes with the ipp-oh-dee, which synchronizes with it-you-ness that runs on macko-sex on my pee-ow-urb-ook.
I had to play the Oregon Trail in my education about 20 years ago... does that count?

I'd rather have 360 boxes of Jell-O X-Treme Watermelon flavor than either of those, to be honest.

Host it on Google SneakerPics (LABS) and submit it. You're sure to profit.
Be sure to get some relaxed-fit pants, size 60 or so to fit the Archos in your back pocket. :)

I don't want my business documents held forever on a server anyone can access.
"Use the fork(s)" is from the Simpsons episode where Mark Hamill guest starred. Spaceballs had "use the Schwartz."
Also his most recent (as a producer).
k. Start an Internet petition or something. Get the people interested. No point whining on Slashdot about it.n
