Not good enough for me. I (pretend to think I (and I can admit that (as I just did))) know what they're sitting on, and it's not a hybrid. I don't see any reason, with the amount of money and brain power put into cars, that we have to worry about "miles per gallon" any more.
Somebody is holding out on us, and I don't like it (nor do I accept it - no car bought here yet).

"Pump "Britney Spears" into Kazaa's search engine, and try to imagine the chatter you generate as you check millions of shared directories."
Aren't you only connected to four other computers (servers?) at a time? Or am I mistaken, and you actually search recursively through the servers that the computers you're connected to are connected to?
I'm a hardware junky, always buying more, adding some, taking some out and moving it into another computer. That kind of stuff. I recently had to reinstall because I was running a system off of a 540meg drive, but bought one to replace it.
Since I have all my configs backed up, and installation only takes 5 minutes, and I have a DSL connection, I find that it's simple to just re-install on a new drive, instead of transferring from one drive to the next.
Maybe I've installed Debian so many times now that it's just second nature for me... with three computers running it, it's not that hard to do it a lot.:-)
All I use is the first.iso image, edit apt sources by hand (uncommenting the first three), add in my network card's module, make sure I choose "advanced" instead of "simple" install, and I quit dselect as soon as I'm dumped into it (worthless, in my opinion). Every question is straightforward (cfdisk is easy, hostname, IP, gateway, dns, hit the enter key a bunch of times to install everything from the cd, enter root password, create user and then get to installing software)...
Of course, this leaves me with a ~60 to ~80meg OS, and I immediately apt up to sid and install anything I need. I like this method because I know there's little to nothing installed that I don't need.
"new readers that might arrive at any day in the weblog (and hence the story) and old readers that might skip one or more days in it. As long as each entry has some meaning on its own, it should be possible to create something interesting (even something coherent!)."
It sounds a lot like William S. Burroughs' idea that he used in his book Naked Lunch. The idea is that the reader can open up the book to any page, at any point, begin reading and get a story, not just a section of a whole story. I suggest reading that novel to get a better picture of how he accomplishes this (which he does, for the most part), and as a general guide on what you think works/doesn't work. Be warned, though: that book isn't for everyone.
As far as this goes, in the FAQ:
"entries are "improvisational," by which I mean that you usually sit down, write it, and post it. There isn't a lot of preparation, hours of editing or things like that. You write it, you post it. Maintaining this should not be hard, mainly it would seem to remove most of the editing phase from the writing process."
This feels like the point of view that Jack Kerouac had with his writings, not to mention a whole lot of the others in the Beat Generation. If you haven't I'd suggest getting your hands on anything from that time period, not only wil you probably like it (as it goes along the lines of your blognovel idea), it may also help you get this thing going.
Did India ask to be connected to the internet (rest of the world), or did someone from outside of India make the first connection into it (physically laying out lines or connecting with a modem), without asking them?
If they asked to be connected to the internet (how it's known today, I suppose that the internet is dramatically different now than it was when it was first being born [or however long after that India got connected to it]), then they should not be allowed to charge anything to access anything within India. That's not (as far as I know) how it started, and it should not become that.
If someone from outside of India made the first connection, then I could see India's point of view. This is suggesting that India had a network presence within the country before it was connected (unvoluntarily) to the rest of the world (the Internet today). This is only saying that I would see where they're coming from, not that I would agree with that type of suggestion.
Did India first make the connection (be it by laying down a line or dialing through an existing phone line) to the rest of the world (today's Internet), or did someone outside of India (without their permission) make the first connection (be it by laying down a line or dialing through an existing phone line) to India?
If they made the first connection to today's Internet, then they shouldn't have any right to charge money to access anything within India.
If someone outside of India made the first connection to someplace within India, without their permission, then I can see their perspective on this. That I see their perspective on this does not mean that I agree with it, or anything like it.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Solid Steel yet! I hear they have all of 'em at Groovetech, but I haven't found 'em yet.
Contact me if you're interested in them, I wouldn't mind trading some shows... especially since I don't have them all yet.
I see the internet as a seperate place. I think that the "5 miles out to sea" rule should apply to the internet as well - no laws.
Then again, I'm an idealistic college hippie

Doesn't it make more sense to just set your equipment up so that the output from the record player goes to the input of the soundcard? Record away...
There's only one company (Stern Pinball, Inc.) making pinball machines today.
You could always build one yourself.
