I know everything hasn't been quite right with me, but I can assure you now, very confidently, that it's going to be alright again...I feel much better now, I really do...Look, NASA, I can see you're really upset about this...I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over...

Jeanneney's remarks are indeed anti-American. I don't see what makes him think that Google's efforts will "reflect a unipolar worldview dominated by the English language and American culture" other than the fact that it's being done by Americans. Indeed, he seems to like the idea itself but resent that it's being done by a US company.
Look, I know it's awfully trendy to be down on anything and everything American (and certainly there are things that legitimately cause concern), but frankly I'm more concerned that Jeanneney's anti-Americanism is affecting his scholarship than that Google's efforts (with the help of the libraries concerned and plan to be inclusive) is bad scholarship.
You are wrong sir. Actually, if you read the article, you'll see that it was initially thought to be Blair's, but was later found to be left by Bill Gates. Do you actually read articles or research your assertions before posting?
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Toastmaster fanatics? I have recently upgraded from a Toastmaster 1B5 to a 1B14 to help me at my freelance gig where I needed to toast 4 slices of bread for a BLT lunch. On the Toastmaster it took about 20 minutes. At home, on my Sunbeam T-9, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this 1B14, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
So in this case, "Your Rights Online" refers merely to the fact that these jokesters were standing "on line." With all due respect, I just don't see how this is Slash-worthy.
Tater Tots are a product of the Ore-Ida corporation and are a delicious processed potato treat. They were developed in 1953 and introduced to a grateful public in 1954.
NASA began using them as an engineering standard in the late 60s durring the Apollo missions. Today, Tater Tots are still as popular in the lab as they are in the dining room.
Since I assume that they would not know the precise location of the shield, it must have been quite a moment when the thing first slewed into view. It's a bitch getting that Mountain Dew out of the keyboard, isn't it?
It is indeed a disruptive technology. Craig's has really turned the corner here in SF. I can honestly say that virtually everyone here knows of it (even non-internet demographic types) and it is the first thing mentioned in casual conversation (i.e., "why don't you put it on Craig's" instead of "why don't you run an ad"). The culture here has truly changed.
It's not complete however, papers still get that new-car dealer business and all the entertainment and retail display advertising--the stuff that ambushes you. The Craig's model only really works for used goods, jobs and personals--the things people look for specifically.
There will always be a place for ads that ride on the coattails of good content and papers still do this effectively. And you just can't read "the paper" on BART online as easily as you can read it analog style. In fact, I think the newspaper model may even prove more resilient than the TV 30-second spot which is seriously threatened by DVRs and is going through spasms already.
Bedrock's "Daily Slab" was actually one of the great papers of its time. Far from being "funky," the Slab was a respected bastion of "hard news" until it was eventually bought out by Bill Gatestone the popularizer (although not the inventor) of the abacus.

I find Eigenradio and likewise this Christmas project as something of an overworked joke. The resulting buzzing noise isn't really listen-able or interesting or telling.
You could take all the stuff in your refrigerator--a composite, if you will of all your favorite foods, toss them in a blender and you'd have an unappealing brown slop. Ha ha. Kind of funny conceptually, but you wouldn't necessarily open a restaurant serving it.
All the Slashdotters down in Slashdotterville liked Christmas a lot, but the AC, who lived just north of Slashdotterville, did not. The AC hated Christmas -- the whole Christmas season. Oh, please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. Or maybe his head wasn't screwed on just right. But I think that the best reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
It didn't work for Gateway because Gateway was more like a "CompUSA" (a store I loathe) and Apple is more like a high-end boutique. I realize that both models have their place and can be effective, but Gateway's essentially selling commodity goods while Apple sells a whole "lifestyle." Visiting an Apple store is an experience in itself and has drawing power. Nike stores are similar in this way (at least the major one here in San Francisco).
We also have a major Sony presence here The Metreon and its own Sony Styles store (although as a poster above points out, it's not exactly perfect). and I think Sony will do it a lot more like Apple based on what I have seen (high end fixtures and architecture, high-drama).
This is a smart move for a brand like Sony--they need to recapture the caché they once had more of.
I'm not so sure I accept the premise at all (although you did say "in most cases"). I'd even suggest that the zeal, determination and industriousness of the hacker community is directly proportional to the magnitude of the "storm."
Hackers have many advantages over the animals. They have linksys routers running open source, they have thumb drives, they have coding skills. Even if a new dark ages were to come, there still would be guys using old TiVos, discarded mobile phone LCD screens and coat hangers to play chess over clandestine LANs.
Maybe I've watched too many movies or read too much "Stealing the Network," but I honestly believe the hacker world will well keep pace.
It's truly one of the great blogs of all time, IMO. Ya just gotta read it from the beginning to savor it fully. Soon however, perhaps even tonight via this very thread, the gig, as they say, will be up.
One of "Jordan's" Slashdot-reading frat brothers (probably the goofy EE major who got in on a legacy bid) will spill the beans. I'd love to be a fly on the paddle-festooned wall for that moment.
What will happen next? The blogger has been careful to conceal his or her identity. What are the legal issues? Can the blog continue? Does the blogger face any liabilities?
If "Jordan" and his chums play it one way, they could be minor celebrities for a while--perhaps concealing their knowledge of the blog's existence to let the thing reach critical mass. Jordan could be the next Mahir! "I am Jordan! I high five you!"
On the other hand, they can probably bring terrible, expensive legal might to bear. What will blogspot do? What will become of America's new best-loved blog?
Not that interesting really. No specifics, not much technique. He calls offenders, cancels accounts, etc. Phishing is another department. He doesn't take action on pedophiles and refers them to cops.

Actually, the powdered aluminum and ammonium perchlorate fuel used in the SRB's is supposedly great for lunch. Or... was that "launch?"

Might I suggest the Wilton 20003 12 lb. Unbreakable Double Faced Sledge Hammer? At 12 pounds and with a shock absorbing handle, you'll find this fully OSHA-compliant device will serve your needs admirably.

Perhaps they should have used the more precise "tater tot" standard.

Get used to it pal. With the rise of satellite radio and the host of devices that will stream it, we'll soon have "crashes" in that realm as well.
In Japan, I hear there are even toilet seats that occasionally require a reboot (although mine runs Slackware 10.0 and is remarkably robust).
