While Google and Yahoo are prevented from doing business, Yahoo is diving deeper and deeper into the dumpster - way to go, "just here to help" government - you're killing the golden geese of the economy.

this sort of ability is one of those things I simply can't understand Sony's inability to see that it'd sell more PS3s to have such a capability - instead everything they do seems to be slow leak and excruciatingly Sony-specific in the area of video-on-(quasi)demand - talk about slowly cutting one's own throat

they are running Debian - Ubuntu is Debian with, ah, lipstick on it - and it works very well.
it should have said "to stop" instead of "stopped" - an editor doing a meticulous job on slashdot ... woohoo!
Going to a gun fight with a knife is pretty ballsy too, but I'm not sure "congratulations" are the first thought that would be offered to such an act.
