Fun Fact: U.S. government subsidizes Boeing. When you ride Southwest (or any carrier who flies Boeing jets), American taxpayers helped pay for your ticket. Enjoy your flight.
I raised a stink, and was eventually told that I wouldn't have to give them the requested dossier because I was a Platinum AAdvantage Card holder (e.g., because I fly frequently with AA).
It sounds like American Airlines is using phantom TSA regulations to illegally gather information from foreign travelers.
Telus, which operates local phone service in B.C. and Alberta and cell phone service nationwide, started switching over to VoIP last year and now carries most of long-distance callls between major cities over the Internet.
Oh - you're plainly wrong about the Centrino processor. The processor component performs very very well at low wattage. It's based on a high-IPC core. It is the ultimate laptop processor available right now. I've read plenty of reviews. The P4-M rules. Plain and simple. We'll see how AMD's new ones do.
Uhh, the processor for "Centrino Mobile Technology" isn't Pentium 4. It's called Pentium-M and is rumored to be based on Pentium III, not Pentium 4.
Hynix's directors and also its creditors approved the plan to sell the company to Micron. The deal was called off when Hynix's union threatened to burn manufacturing facilities.
Although most of the banks that loaned money to Hynix are government-owned, some were private. (You have to understand that about half of banks in Korea are owned by the government. This wasn't the case before financial crisis in 1997. During the crisis, the gov't was forced to choose between acquring troubled banks -- through debt-equity swap -- or face complete financial meltdown.) Gov't-owned banks and private banks all agreed make additional loans when Hynix requested a bailout.
As for keeping Hynix Korean, the gov't had no problem selling some of their banks to foreign investors. (I don't think anyone is hoping for Samsung Electronics to acquire Hynix. After all, Samsung is being accused of artificially lowering prices to drive Hynix out of business. Micron also tried to get Samsung's chips tarriffed.)
Anyhow, a large portion of Hynix chips are made in Eugene, Oregon. How will this tariff thing work if the chips are produced dometically?
According to Roh's site, he made 7,278,135,098 Won (about USD 6,000,000) from 203,764 donations, not CAD 1,000,000,000 (about USD 640,000,000) from 180,000 donors, as the article says.
Uhh, Lineage is from Korea. Most American and European game companies have large bases in Korea. And, Korean government's piracy crackdown has been called oppressive.
P2P is being hotly debated in Korea. A roar of public complaint emerged when Soribada, a popular P2P network, was shut down by the court.
The lawsuit itself doesn't make any sense but it might block Macromedia from becoming a monopoly. Macromedia have shown tendencies to ignore standards and have recently started to bundle their products in a fashion similar to Microsoft Office.
I think everyone's missing the point.
As far as I am concerned, Lindows voluntarily handed over the marketing information(e-mail, physical address, etc.) since I have not heard of a judge ordering Lindows to handover the information or anything like that.
Considering Michael Robertson, former founder and CEO of MP3.com, is a total sellout, it isn't unlikely that he sold out on Lindows too.
I seriously do not see why people are so sympathetic to Robertson. Lindows is definetely a closed-source program and the claim that it can run both Win32 and Linux programs has not been confirmed. Furthermore, if you want to be "Lindows Insider" and want a "sneak preview", you have to pay $99/year. Did someone say "subscription-based software"?
XP Home is replacement for Win9x.
There is no IIS or PWS (the watered-down version of IIS) in Win9x although you can download PWS from MS.
XP Pro, which is replacement for Win2k Pro, has IIS as optional component just like Win2k Pro.
As far as I know, there has been no change in MS' commitment to spreading the virus that is IIS. The whole.NET/owning-the-internet thing is centered on IIS and couple other things.
Whoever thinks MS is pulling out of IIS business needs to stop smoking crack.

450,000 dollars of American money?
Hmm, let's see. That'll get you, well, a 1 bedroom 1 bath 'house' in Vancouver.

The origin of the left-right is the Directory, the legislature that governed France during the post-Revolution period.
The reformists members of the Directory usually sat on the left side of the legislature while reactionaries and royalists sat on the right side.
Uhh, Palme d'Or is for best movie, not documentary.

BTW, ./ is #1328 on Alexa. Salon is more popular than ./, at least in terms of traffic.

You do realize that Canada and pretty much all of Europe are socialist countries, do you?
it's just VBR MP3s now.
no special players.
Sounds like it was translated from French with one of those nasty web translators.
Could one run Windows 2000 server on Sun LX50?
You know, as a form of sadomasochism.
They don't have fancy offices in SF and NY.
They used to...
They sublet them out to cut expenses long, long time ago.
First non-evil thing to come out of Verizon.
