French police have launched a major operation to find the disc.
Next time a frenchman misplaces a copy of his favorite album, I guess he should just call up the police, and they'll get right on that, too. Right?
Officer: What's that? Someone is breaking into your house? Ok, can that wait like another 15 minutes? We just got a lead on U2's lost CD. They're great, aren't they?
So far, I've gotten alot out of it, and there are alot of other useful and sleek looking objects (plugins) and themes available, if that's your sort of thing. Just some minimalist weather reports and system stats, for me, though.
The more people they have using their service, the more it costs to maintain a quality level of service.
Movable Type is a product, not a service. Scalability doesn't come into play here, unless you want to count bandwidth for downloading the source. It doesn't cost them anything extra (again, except bandwidth) to provide something which they have already developed to 10,000 people rather than 100 people.
You know, I was actually reading through Thomas/loc.gov when I thought to ask this.
That's great if you want specific details on a specific bill or representative; when you're interested in a general idea of who supports what (that is, the issues and specific legislation when it's a major bill or resolution), it's a little less than informative, unless you have hours to read through each representative's history and research the meaning and implications of the texts.
Legalese doesn't say much to real-world effects of legislation, and it's not hard to miss a critical rider or somesuch which could really make all the difference in a text's significance.

This is the part that bugged me the most.

Personally, I've recently installed the free version of Stardock's Desktop X, using one of the many weather objects available at WinCustomize.
