A couple of things. I'd like to see Harrison Ford in a cameo spot as Han Solo's father. I guess Chewie is already in it. It would also rule if Lando was in it.
The only way this could be cooler is if they hooked up the vending machine to the Internet, so you could remotely view the remaining inventory. Oh, and hook up a coffee vender, too.
I think they should name their ship Bullwinkle, or Rocky. There was a great cartoon about a flying Canadian squirrel a long time ago. The graphics are like completely stupid, but it's funny sometimes in a geeky kind of way.
Yes, people should back up their data, because you never know if your hardware will die.
An application, however, SHOULD NEVER DELETE OR CORRUPT ITS OWN DATA. The user should not have to back up his data to protect it from the application that generated it.
But that's what we have with Mozilla, and I hate that.
Oh my God. You don't know? Unbelievable. I guess I have to tell you.
Albert Einstein was a great scientist who lived long ago. He had two theories, the General Theory of Relatively and the Special Theory of Relatively. Later on he married his cousin.
So what are these bacteria growing at an exponetial rates using as their energy source? What do they eat? Martian dust?

"And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd."
Many reported problems with that recently, but only from non-US Internet nodes.
My guess is just wait and the DNS situation will rectify itself.

Thank you. As a layman who watched a Nova (PBS) program about how string theory does not offer testable predictions, this Slashdot story left me confused.
The problem is that the directory service is hosted by a for-profit company. As a result, if the company enters bankruptcy, is sold, goes public, or whatever, the company may have no choice but to sell the database or turn it over to marketeers or whomever.
If Six Apart (the company) were to entrust the database to a self-sustaining non-profit organization, then that would be something I would probably use. Not sure, but I think the Liberty Alliance will provide this kind of assurance, although Microsoft will not. Isn't that right?
Of course, I'd really like to see the TypeKey software audited and vetted by some unaffiliated organization. (Open source would be the best, but independent auditing would suffice.)
It's a shame too, because a big market exists right now for a good, cheap, privacy-protecting, easy-to-implement directory service: blogs.
Connecting your blog to a big directory service would mean getting rid of comment spam forever. Blocking comment abusers would become much easier, too.
In fact, if I were running one of these directory services, I would offer the service free of charge to blogs (for a limited time) in the interest of getting customers signed up and used to the service.
Then, once it's established, the commercial potential will become ever more lucrative.

Let's hope there is no Jar-Jar, or it will suck.

Nobody likes WMV except for pimply geeks with no exposure to real life.

I do not want to go back to 1983.
What do you say, Canada?
If you want nice, uninterrupted, high quality streams, Real is the best choice, bar none.
I'm glad Car talk is moveing back to good old Real.
I guess you can always just stay inside all day if you don't want satellites to see you.
Kids of the next generation should have a chance to know what it was like.

It must be filed in Bugzilla, but I can't find it.

The space battle scenes are very cool.
They just showed it this week on AMC. Lucky me.

I agree. All Americans ought to have it.

Your comment explains it to me.

They may offer a better product, but they can't take on the Google marketshare or marketing machine.
Good luck. My guess is you should sell out now and find another area to make money.
