Slashdot inserted a space on him. HERE is the actual link. Personally, I would take anything comeing from gulufuture with a whole SHAKER of salt, but it SEEMS credible
Sometimes the only way to get a message across is to jump up and down and yell "fire" in a crowded theater while holding up a sign saying "I oppose the War in Iraq".
Well, that is just a plain terrible idea.
That would REALLY annoy me. Considering how expensive movies are nowadays, I don't want to be interrupted. When things annoy me it makes me less likely to listen
Yelling "Fire" in a theater is illegal, and it is quite likely that people would end up seriously injured or dead as a result. One hundred people rushing for 1 or 2 doors IN THE DARK == people trampled to death.
People will not read the sign while fleeing for their lives, especially if it is DARK
In the US, one has the right to protest PEACEFULLY, please do not forget this qualifier, as it is fairly important:D
Seriously though, you are right that CNN doesn't have the actual RealMedia streams directly to the front page, they do have quite a few LINKS to video and audio streams on their front page. Just because, as you say, they are not directly to their front page, does not mean they don't suck up bandwidth*. And they do have a big scrolly Java thing at the top, which could be mistaken for Flash.
Like you said though, MSNBC doesn't have either.
*On the other hand, you have to PAY for the streams, so I'd imagine that only a small number of people view them relative to the total CNN traffic, though I'm only guessing
Goering: But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship."
Gilbert: "There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."
Goering: "Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

Actually, I heard it was Iran they are going after next. But of course, it is all rumour

Yes, thank you for explaining that joke to death for the 7 people who didn't get it :D
Ahh yes, but these are SPECIAL. The more you bid, the more EXPENSIVE the thing you see advertised. It's revolutionary!
</sarcasm>
Graphic core? I belive you mean GraphITE core. Silly AC :D
Graphic core sounds more like ATI's new three-headed video card...Say it really fast, and it'll make sense ;)
(I say ATI because they called their dual-head stuff "Hyrdravision")
