I agree with the advertisement angle. The article said nothing about "an unadvertised offering of about $18." The only one-year commitment in the article is for $239.40, or about $20 per month. I may be too picky here, but I would say that the poster has inside info (advertisement), can't do math, or would like you to think that $20 is about $18 (advertisement).
I hope the US Army will at least learn the lesson that the Ministry of Defence seems to have forgotten. During the Falklands war British navy sailors were issued polypropylene underwear. When the ships were attacked, sailors near fires had their underwear melt causing additional injury.
The article says the new underwear is made from artificial fibers for comfort, lets just hope it has a melting point much higher than polypropylene does!
"29 per cent of the recorded music obtained by listeners last year came from content copied onto recordable media."
This is such BS, the music companies are already paid for consumer's fair-use (it could notionally be piracy) through a tax on recordable media. Now they come up with a statistic that clearly includes legal copies of music and pretend it is a percentage of criminal acts. I sincerely hope my elected officials aren't that greedy.
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that sharing a mix CD with a friend is fair use. If the RIAA wants to profit from that, they already do. If they want stricter regulations, they should give up the subsidy.
The connection speed has to do with the hardware installed in your area. Instapundit has one of those cards and gets 122kbps in Knoxville. I'd guess that that's the best you can do unless you live in one of those "real cities".
Unless you spend A LOT of time on the road, the mobile cell cards just aren't worth the money.

All that said, I've never seen it take so long for an update like this to show up in software update. If this is a new policy (I can see marketing saying, "make them go to the website so we can show off new features"), I going to be unhappy.
Many years ago we had to pull out the platters, degauss them and cut them up with an acetylene torch. That was when the platters were metal. Now the platters are glass and you can just crush them to powder.
You're right. It is obnoxious in Office programs; however, it is easy to get rid of in OS X. Just delete it from the/Applications/Microsoft Office (version)/Office/Startup/(application name) folder.
Acrobat will put it back if you let it, so in order to keep that from happening use Get Info on the/Applications/Microsoft Office (version)/Office/Startup/ folder and change the permissions to read only and extend them to all sub folders.
Use Data Memory Systems.
Our physics department has been using their memory for 8+ years and only had two bad chips. Both were replaced no questions asked with a simple phone call and we didn't even have to send the bad RAM back.
If you have problems with iTunes, tell Apple. While they may or may not agree with your comment, they do read and consider comments. Many of the features in OS X 10.2 and 10.3 are the result of user feedback.
I once saw a show on TLC where they dropped things from a roof to see if things really fall at the same rate (neglecting air resistance). Some of the things they dropped were PB&J, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, and beer and light beer.
I just wanted to point out that Macromedia released FreeHand 10, which runs natively on OS X, almost a year ago. I'm guessing that one of the delays in getting Photoshop 7 out was a mad dash to finish Illustrator.
The most powerful conventional bombs are called Fuel Air Explosives (FAE's). They work by allowing compressed volatile gas to expand and then igniting it. While the hydrogen wouldn't be left in pools to continue burning, it would cause a much larger explosion. If I recall correctly, FAE bombs have an explosive yield that is measured in kilo-tons of TNT.

TiVo is probably better known for their ad zapping technology THAN their televison advertisements.

"If web coding were easily doable by hand with a text editor, would they get much in the way of sales for FrontPage?"
If FrontPage produced even remotely standards-compliant code, then your comment would be much more convincing.
As it is, I am constantly amazed that a company as rich as Microsoft (that can afford brilliant researchers) has so much kludge as product.
Most places have the equivalent of Wolf Camera or some local store. If Wal*Mart wants to be a pain about this, then don't use their service.
If the savings is worth the hassle, don't complain.
To paraphrase a sign I saw the other day: The lingering bitter taste of poor quality should outlast the momentary sweetness of a lower price.
It's not "Grid" it's Xgrid and it's clustering software.

Post it at the Apple Support Discussion Site (for 10.3.x).
Apple techs lurk there and some of the more knowledgeable support people who don't work for Apple as well.
If no one there has a solution, they can tell you were the best place to complain is.

According to the article "The report found that as many as 39% of online users may be deleting cookies from their primary computer monthly".
The 58% is users who have deleted cookies even once during the year 2004. This makes the idea more plausible.
Even the 39% has some error.
So, you're pretty much right.

Mac Mini 1Gb $199.00
It has an external power supply. If you look at the QTVR of the mini, you can see the power brick behind the mini. It looks to be ~ 6" x 2" x 1 1/2".
Perfect software name for Microsoft.

Apple Care also comes with an ~ $50 diagnostic tool, TechTool Deluxe. ($50 is an estimate based on a $50 upgrade price to the $100 TechTool Pro.)

The current balance experiment is one of my favorites since it connects electromagnetic force to mechanical force and defines the Ampere.
