There's a difference between copying a small sample of an article into your blog for purposes of making snarky commentary about it (Fair Use) and rewriting the article entirely, adding nothing of value and releasing it under the GFDL-CP-LM-EE-CC license.
If Wikinews wants to be regarded as a news source, perhaps it should do as the AP did and get some reporters -- or it should do as many newspapers have done and buy a license to reprint AP content.
Ah, my bad. I read the phrase "most popular documentary" in history and thought of Fahrenheit, whose $100M+ in worldwide box office receipts topped those of Hoop Dreams. Since Michael Moore keeps insisting that what he makes are "documentaries," I jumped to the wrong conclusion. Sorry about that.
I didn't vote for Bush in 2000 or 2004, and I don't like him either, but don't tell me Fahrenheit 9/11 was Oscar material. In much the same way as Passion of the Christ drove millions of Christians to the theaters to see it repeatedly, Michael Moore decided to pretend like he's the "little guy" and that "his little movie" ought to be seen. People bought into it left and right. I saw it. Do you really need 2 hours to illustrate how much you hate the President? Most street-corner preachers need only 90 seconds and a pamphlet to make their views clear to me.
I'm sure "dthree_from_slashdot" is still available. You just have to get creative./me feels lucky for having joined Yahoo! in '96 and getting a short username then
Try Backpack. Ignoring all the imaginary buzzwords with which it complies, I've found it to be quite useful for sharing my links and information across multiple machines. The basic account is free but you can pay for other features like file hosting. You can also make pages public if you want.
Delicious and Backpack do not serve the same purpose, but the latter is still nice for managing information. Neither Yahoo nor Google have purchased it as of right now, so you don't have to worry about annoying Flash ads or annoying text ads respectively.
What is so offensive about getting a Yahoo account, other than that all the hipster Google fanboys will insist that you should get a Google account instead?
Thunderbird gives me a warning about my SMTP server certificate every time I try to send an e-mail regardless of the OS on which I run it. Superfluous* warnings aren't limited to Windows.

del.icio.us has already been infested with spam.me.rs who tag everything with hundreds of keywords. It's exactly like the old days of META keyword stuffing that made Yahoo! and Altavista such a chore to use.
Might as well export all your bookmarks to Google Bookmark BETA, coming to a Web 2.0-compliant browser to you sometime in the next yearosphere.
From Mainichi News: "The accidental order was 42 times bigger than the number of issued shares, but a computer warning of the misplaced order was overlooked." (emphasis mine)
Considering how nearly four times as many people live in Bucharest as live in Portland, I'd say you're onto something. Quick, launch Google Romanian History BETA!
I think Universal owned only the television syndication rights to Walker because USA Network was airing repeats at the time Conan started rebroadcasting it. The show's production company and distributor are CBS/Viacom and Sony, not Universal, so new Walker content (!!) can't be distributed on the iTunes Music Store under that agreement.
Putting "erati" after any arbitrary word or neologism doesn't make you cool, intelligent, or Italian. It makes you look like Wired rejected your freelance essay on blogging.
Really? I'd think it's much cheaper to buy off 1,000 small-time bloggers than to buy off a news organization. The freebies that companies send out impress Some Blog Dude way more than a jaded tech journalist for a mainstream newspaper.
Plus, if your blog is exposed as a shill for tech companies, just shut it down and open two others! You can live off the corporate freebies and AdSense revenue forever, and you can even purport to count yourself among the "world's new elite."
To be fair, Apple never used file extensions except for PC compatibility back before Mac OS X. Now that they use file extensions for almost everything, they hide extensions to evoke the "feel" of older Mac OS versions.
I'm assuming that's the contents of the shows that don't include anything that would require more royalties: celebrity interviews, musical guests, Walker: Texas Ranger clips...
$2 for a 6-minute monologue is mighty steep, though.
If you're "fanatically opposed to" Microsoft and its business practices, you're not exactly in the market for an Xbox 360 -- except if you plan to put Linux on it.

You assume that the "casual movie fan" has an interest in watching anti-MPAA propaganda.

I tried "pdx to 100 nw couch st, portland, oregon." It showed me how to get from PDX airport to that street address by car or on foot.

If by Google you mean Yahoo!, then no, there's nothing Google can't do.

Microsoft invented "AJAX" when they created Internet Explorer 5. It's only been a buzzword since Firefox and Google started supporting it.
