I first heard of the Landshark almost two years ago, Wayback Machine has it, and the site has barely changed since then. I hate to be the bearer of bad(?) news, but I doubt this project will ever reach completion.
Just thought it interesting that everyone is posting babelfish / translating service translations when there is an English version available from the site.
I almost feel sorry for the rest of the world, we are kicking their ass in every political, social, education, and economic category..
As an American, I can still say that we are most definitely not the best in all of those areas. The American Public School System is deteriorating and doesn't teach nearly as much as those of other countries. Economically we do well, due in large part to screwing over other countries. Politically - in two words - George Bush.
However, American colleges help catch us up to the rest of the world..and public schools do allow free thought, socializing, and allow for creativity - unlike schools in many parts of the world. America is still a great place to live after balancing out the positives and negatives, but I would hardly start ranting about us kicking the worlds ass just yet.
I would like to see this fail. Forget hatred for m$ or dislike of the XBox, I just want those resources to be used to give me cheap dsl =P.

I find it interesting that there is so much controversy about two artists tracks being mixed together. This has been done forever in one way, shape, or form. DJ's have made tracks using music from two different artists for a long time, and nothing has changed except the way it is mixed, increasing audiences, and the method of distribution. In my opinion, increasing audiences is definetely a good thing, nice to see the people who make cool remixes of music get more public recognition.
While artists should still receive credit for the use of their songs, so should the people who mix them.
Well, I don't know if I would go that far. A friend of mine has it and says that it has been reliable for him. Definetely not for gaming as was mentioned earlier to due the high latency (traveling through the sky for a while), but he says he hasn't had problems getting a good connection. Only complaint he has is that speed varies (ie While downloading goes from 100kb down to 40kb and then goes up to 80kb)
That's very cool, very interesting. Glad to see that at least one space program is finally getting smart, creating a way to save energy and resources in space as well as to reduce space clutter.
My only question is whether the "kick rocket" will enter orbit with the spacecraft.
organizations like the RIAA and MPAA are fighting to protect the hard work of those they represent
Fighting so very hard, in fact, that musicians get around $1.37 per CD? Fighting so hard that one musician goes so far as to say that he would rather have his music be given out free than through his label?
The RIAA and MPAA aren't fighting to protect anyone except themselves.
Sales of blank CDs - used for recording purposes - have skyrocketed to the point that, for the first time, more blank CDs (1.1 billion) were sold last year than prerecorded CDs (968 million).
I know it's been said here already, but there is absolutely no way that all 1.1 billion of the CDs went to burning music illegally.
Many CDs contain data, legally copied music, or are coasters/Christmas decorations caused by buffer underrun.
Definetely true about buying music after downloading several songs by a good artist. Many people buy music by bands they like after downloading some of the songs, and still more go to the concerts. Outrageous that bands get only $2-$3 on a $20 CD.
Nice article from Salon.com, wasn't aware that so many musicians were recieving almost nothing at all from the major labels. What a joke..."protecting the artists" by hoarding all the money to themselves. A fine example of corporate greed.

That's great, have fun trying to find a cheap and effective retina scanner which you can get quickly.

Banner ads on your browser and pages really doesn't help increase speed when you are on dialup.
Make sure it's a good lock, what with all the people running around with their new lockpicking tools ;)

Hmm...I'd go so far as to drag a couple laptops outside, call a few friends, and have an outdoor LAN party >_
