"The last US-Government program that was cheap and worked really well was the Homestead Act, which resulted in the death or displacement of thousands of Indians."
Um... I think it's fairly obvious in the article that the Canadian government is behind this project. Not the US government.
People in rural areas don't exactly have access to high-speed networks, so this is where it comes in handy. People in Northen Ontario, Nunavut, etc., will find this service useful; but someone in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, etc. will just subscribe to cable.
Since radio sucks, I previously had no real exposure to great music. Then Napster came along, exposing me to good music, and I went out and bought that good music.
You're completely forgetting the Neo Geo Pocket....that's the problem though.
It was a completely awesome handheld game system, with an excellent selection of games, but it got completely mowed over by Pokemon.
Since it didn't have Pokemon, and SNK USA didn't have the ad dollars, nobody knew, or cared, about it. Real shame, since it had incredible potential.
I've still got mine, but it's hard to find games for now after SNK pulled everything off the north american market without any warning.
This is a book you literally will not be able to put down.
Dammit, now they've got EULAs on books! Stupid people didn't bother to read the line saying you can't put it down after opening it...
Perhaps today would have been a much better day for those UBC students to do their Golden Gate prank. Right place: San Francisco, heart of the dot-com craze. Coulda used Cat-5 cabling to hang the bug off the bridge:)
Sega ain't going anywhere, this all has to do with media newshounds looking for any rumour to post as a killer story in order to get attention in an oversaturated market.
How many times in the past 10 years have we heard that Apple was going on sale? It's the exact same thing... The media WANTS Sega to fail. Any little rumour that leaks out of somewhere is going to get blown way out of proportion.
...and you know what? If Sega does fail, it will be partially BECAUSE of the media. All these constant stories on Sega's failure scare people away. Life imitating the news.

Great RPGs... but that's about it, for the most.
Since Mono is the "kissing disease", I don't think most of these people will have to worry about it.
What, exactly, does it sound like?
"Chussh! Chussh!" Can be interpreted in many different ways.
It would be nice if they actually put up a sample to listen to...
device eth1 entered promiscuous mode
Did they mate?
There's an old european saying that old bastards live the longest, so I guess Bill Gates will outlast everyone ;)

It all works out for me.
No, I don't ready UF. UF is fucking stupid.
...aren't you confusing Dust Bunnies and Hush Puppies?
(Yes, it is in fact my duty to nitpick.)
It's the local time of Lyra the Harp. Don't you know anything?
Of course, now we just need to figure out their time time difference from GMT...
Yes, the Van Allen belts shield us from certain death, but that's not the important thing: they protect our electronics.
Funland on Yonge St. is THE arcade. Anyone who disagrees can go to hell.
Hey, it's a good excuse as any to turf Microsoft...

Wow, that'll be quite something when the recording industry starts launching millitary assualts on sovereign nations.
Screw "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters."
The new slogan is:

Now we can have a whole constellation of Mac Cubes! Of course, wouldn't you feel special if it was your cube that took out the shuttle?
If you did that, would that make you a Tacker?
Then the media could go bonkers about attacks by crazed teenage Tackers out to bring down the highway system!
(But seriously, a thumbtack wouldn't do sh!t against a car tire...)

How many roads must a Man walk down before you can call him a Man?
You let your mom get her hands on your stuff? :)
If my mom tried to get rid of my stuff, I'd figure it out and reclaim before she could do so
Everything I've lost is because either I lost it, it was stolen, or a friend didn't give it back.
Of course, I only got a few transformer toys when I was a kid...
So THAT'S why the satellite system gakked out during the WWF Royal Rumble match at the bar I was watching it at!
Man, I was so pissed, I missed Drew Carey going into the ring by the time I found a new place to watch it!
God dammit, I am so fucking sick of this!
