For you non-history buffs, the United States did a similar thing a long time ago with electrical power with the Rural Electric Program. You can read more about it here.
if one publishes an article in a US newspaper, the intended audience is the US. If someone publishes on the Internet, the intent can not be limited to physical borders.
CNN used (still does?) to sell CDs of the TOP 100 story of the previous year. I bought the first one for 1993 and it was just a bunch of minute long video clips of CNN coverage of top evnents. I think they where in Real format, but I'm not sure.
So, they already got a bunch of the clips 'digatized' and I guess they are just moving that kind of service onto the web.
Did you not notice that the posted story time was an hour before the real time, in any time zone, or am I drunk off cough surrup again? The posts time are off by an hour too. You just posted this comment that I'm replying to a few minutes ago but it says its been there for more then an hour!

No, reading Slashdot isn't THAT taxing on my cpu.
Does this mean that people who over-clock thier P4 systems are auctually likely to SLOW their cpu down?
Oh man. Does this mean we will have a Kids Battle Bots, a generation X battlebots, and a "Super football like coverage" Bottlebots?
So does that mean that all the Austrilan porn sites will now have to switch their servers from http to POP3?

How can this plugin add a color-gun to my CRT monitor? Adding hardware with software sounds little too 1337 for me.
