  1. Re:7 + or - 2? on FCC Considering 10-Digit Dialing [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    If a local calling area has 2 or 3 'area codes', then it's not too hard to remember them as single entities. Ex. 214 = the first area code, 972 = the second area code, 469 = the third area code. So all I need to know to make a local call is the 7 digit number preceded by 1 of 3 area codes. It's not that difficult on my small brain.

  2. Membership Terms on Napster Cuts Deal With BMG · · Score: 1

    Oh, great.

    Now I'll get the mp3 of the month and get charged an exhorbiant fee unless I mail in my decision not to receive it.

  3. Bill ~ Obi-Wan on Gates Steps Down As CEO, Ballmer In · · Score: 1

    Analogy:

    Vader is to Obi-Wan as US Gov is to Bill.

    Vader kills Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan becomes more powerfull.

    US Gov kills.........

    The problem with this analogy: I liked Obi-Wan.

  4. Speaking of Disease on Cloning of extinct Huia bird approved · · Score: 1

    How will the 1920's bird genes stand up to 1999 diseases? Wouldn't it be cruel to 'recreate' an animal whose immune system can't cope with modern illnesses?
