The BBC is where I've been heading. My local NPR station has been running BBC radio reports, and my local PBS TV station is running BBCWorld Service on TV after the PBS news programs.
I think two things are worth noting. The BBC aren't afraid to note that a column of American troops are in fast retreat (wording unheard by my ears on American broadcasts by any network, yet apparently the first column heading into Basra met with stiff enough resistance a retreat was ordered until air support could arrive).
Also, it's been my experience that the BBC has very little issue with taking Blair to task when need be. They have reporters at every front and with most mobile armoured columns heading into the frays.
Last, but not least, while watching BBC World Service last night, one of their reporters noted that he'd seen several dozen, approaching 100, Iraqi soldiers surrendur. The response of the studio anchor was this line, paraphrased mostly, but the meaningful words are quoted: "So, then, Iraqi soldiers are indeed surrenduring? The unconfirmed reports aren't just a piece of American propaganda?"
Ya ain't gonna hear that charge on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, Fox News, CBS.
The reporter's response was: "Yes. Initially there were only a few soldiers who'd surrendured, but as we proceeded, we've actually picked up well over 100."
Why not switch to just using a cellular phone for all your calls? Same effect.
Not quite. Way too often cell phone service sucks at your home, away from cities, where broadband is still available. With this, as long as your broadband connectivity is available, so is your phone.
Of course, that's the big uh-oh about this service, too, though. While it hasn't been flaky lately, my RCN cable modem service doesn't have a sterling silver reputation, so... I'd be without phone for the period during which my connection drops. That'd suck. And I wouldn't be able to call RCN to complain, because my cell doesn't work at home...
My last job had 275 employees, all but 20 at one point using linux. Win2K was, however, preferred by new management, and was pushed onto more and more desktops till they had to start laying people off...

. As long as we have Eminem on the radio, I don't think we're in any real danger of Microsoft being able to de-offensify the English
Until, of course, all radio runs through MSN or AOL....
[the last comma should be a semicolon].
Bullshit!!!
The final comma IS unnecessary, but it should not be a semicolon unless you're starting a new list of multiples, which he isn't.
Hope you trolls both enjoy your english course...
Ay yai yai...
