But they're not offering a (commercial) service and it's not part of their business model. Google news is beta. See the article submission for more details.
Whether Google "wishes" to be screen-scraped is irrelevant, I don't see how there's a thing they can do about it, except further clog the legal system with "my business model don't work arrest that man" bullshit.
Then threatens to sue anyone who web-scrapes them.
Oh, but one guy said something warm and fuzzy once about "do no harm" so they're a Good(tm) giant, soulless corporation, like Apple or IBM.
Oh, and thanks for GMail. ABSOLUTE GENIOUS. I was searching high and low for a way to introduce more advertisements into my e-mail, and Google delivered.
They used bright spotlights during WWII to blind and confuse Nazi pilots. It worked, many of them crashed, and none knew where to drop their bombs.
They also "hid" entire squadrons using smoke and mirrors.
If I could remember the name of the magician and his special squad of effects dude, I'd google for some links. Cool stuff though. David Copperfield-style illusions to fool the Nazis into seeing forces where there were none, and seeing nothing where the forces are, mostly in the desert theatre.
These fringe groups already have plenty of support at the city/county level, and there have been Green Libertarian and Independant Congressmen.
What they need to do is break away from the label of "fringe group", and to do that, the country needs to wake up and realize it wasn't founded on the political principle of choosing one of two completely similar agendas.
The U.N. has set a goal to fund global AIDS research at $15 billion by 2005 and $20 billion by 2007. Given how distructive AIDS and HIV is to society, what portion of that tab would each of you recommend paying and why?
Uh, all of it.
The US pretty much pays the UNs budget, and bankrolls all of it's crazy schemes.
The idea of being rescued by a rat may not appeal to many people
If I'm trapped under a collapsed building after an earthquake for a week, drinking my own urine and eating scraps of drywall, I don't care if it's RMS and Darl McBride who rescue me while debating the GPL.
I read of a project that was training weasels, or maybe ferrets, something in that family for the same type of thing. They're naturally curious, able to squeeze through unimaginable spots, etc.
The weasels were big enough to strap a little camera and transmitter to, and the idea was that they'd just go everywhere in the rubble.. Their natural curiosity would handle that part.
Them biting/eating victims (another natural instinct) was a problem. So the rescue critters would be "de-fanged", or rather have their teeth filed down when it was time to actually go to work. This of course, cripples the animal for the rest of it's life but the logic is "we sacrifice a couple of chinchillas to save one human life and it's worth it".
Of course, PETA and the like threw a fit. But even "animal lovers" look the other way when it comes to rats.

Thats not an article or a submission, thats a two sentence observation.
michael is so friggin transparent you hardly know when he's here, (except for dopey stuff like this)
I've seen plenty of "Bush in '04" bumper stickers, plenty of "Re-defeat Bush", or "Bush sucks", etc bumper stickers. Signs too, lots of Bush signs, lots of anti-bush signs. The majority are of the anti-Bush persuasion, to boot.
I haven't seen a single "Kerry in '04" bumper sticker or sign. His only appeal is that he's not Bush.
Every once in awhile, when I click on a slashdot story (Firefox 1.0 preview), a new tab opens up with the Sybase download page for the crippleware linux database.
It does this all by itself. The first couple of times I figured I must have accidentally clicked the link, but I can confirm now it's doing it all on it's own. It's just too hard to accidentally click the mousewheel on the sybase ad when my finger is nowhere near it.
What's the deal, Taco? Did you just try to invent a new twist on the pop-up, pop-under?
BTW I've configured Win + Linux boxes, and tightening Linux was by far the easier of the two.
I agree with you.
But, my point is about the zealots who say "switch to linux because Windows is insecure" and nothing else, because they know nothing else.
Zealots seem to believe that their boxes are secure just because linux is on them, as if that was all there was to it. Then they run all the services as root, log in as root to change CD-ROMs, etc..
It's easier (more comprehensive) to lock down a linux box, but frankly, it's just as easy to misconfigure one.
Once I mixed up eth0 and eth1 on my firewall/router (or rather plugged the cables in backwards), and in the time it took to figure out what I did, I was offering webmin, telnet, LDAP, samba shares, and all kinds of services to the world that I shouldn't have been. Oopsie.

Google does not permit "webmasters to display Google News headlines on their sites."
But they aren't Google's headlines, they're others' headlines that Google scraped.
Beeezarre.
Only morons buy into the "do know evil" schtick. Corporations are corporations, neither good nor evil, and utterly predictable.
Google will drown the news in ads, that's the only possible way they can make money.

If your wife's a bitch, faggotry isn't the answer. You just beat her until she behaves.
No, you can summarize as follows:
"It's not you.. It's me... I'm gay, and I've been hiding it too long. Time to buy a Mac."
My ass is sore and bleeding every morning. The doctor informs me I'm now HIV positive, and blames my chronic iPod use and unending man-on-man sodomy.

Submissions like this are the very reason trolls are so necessary.

The first Spaceballs wasn't a work of genious. It had a few laughs, but was never on the level of Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein.
This movie was much funnier, IMHO.
"I wan't to eat.... your face"
Its already in production, so sure. As far as we know, it's already filmed and shot.
You only need to shoot something like this over a week. You can add some SFX and stuff later, but Brooks' style is corny humor and sight gags.
I don't get it.
Why not just make a big sack of bowling balls, with a parachute, fire it out of a cannon into space, pick them all back up, fire it off again?
Over!
And why won't they shut the fuck up and go to into space already?

Whatever, little furry scavengers crawling around in the rocks.
I'm not making it up. Good for you for knowing so much about the classifications.
I do know that ferrets fucking bite.
I've heard of stuff like this before.

True.
I've seen plenty of "Bush in '04" bumper stickers, plenty of "Re-defeat Bush", or "Bush sucks", etc bumper stickers. Signs too, lots of Bush signs, lots of anti-bush signs. The majority are of the anti-Bush persuasion, to boot.

They're exact same as "Democrat" values.
Attaching the "liberal" and "conservative" labels to the parties no longer makes any sense.
It's a percieved conservative bias, not a liberal one. That's the "problem".
Bias is okee-fine, so long as your bias and my bias are the same.

They released the source, so get to work porting it and quit whining.
