I also have a similar pet peeve. I also greatly enjoy reading. Just as many of my friends love watching movies and listening to CDs, I will take a good, thick book on almost any subject over a movie or a CD any day. It isn't because I think reading books is better or makes me smarter, but because I just love to read. However, when I try to talk about interesting facts I've read in books or magazines in conversation, people think I am trying to act smart or that I'm showing off! That makes me wonder what the world is coming to, when you have to be super smart just to enjoy reading.
This just means that I could get a low paying job as a programmer, and hire an indian coder on half my salary to do all of my work for me. Sounds great!:)
the way I understand it is that in order to operate a search engine that sorts through millions upon millions of listings thousands of times every minute, someone is going to need a whole lot of bandwidth. Not to mention the cpu resources that such a task would require. CPU cycles and Bandwidth cost money, and no matter how altruistic the person's intentions, they've got to earn that money. That is where advertising comes in.
If I'm not mistaken, google is pretty cool about not having slimy advertising. However, I'm not sure if they pocket any of the money recieved from those advertisements, or if they simply use it to cover the costs of operating the search engine.
Can we get pr0n on our Gameboy Advance?
Theoretically, could one host a pr0n website on a Gameboy Advance.
Until these two dreams are realized, the GBA can never be a truly useful mobile computing device.
Hey could you have your mom call my mom and tell her that please? She makes me use linux, but I want to be like the other kids, I want to fit in! Your a real pal.

No, it had to be a Xeelee starship blowing up a photino-bird-infested star
