" Comcast would be tripping over themselves to host the servers so their customers would not flee to a competitor" - Except there isn't anyone to flee too.... Comcast is the only option that I have for accessing high speed internet.
I have played all the Angry Bird games and have really enjoyed them, but I find it hard to believe that it takes 400 people to bring Angry Birds Space to my tablet. I guess I could imagine that it takes a group of 5 people to construct the game and then another 5 to support/manage them. But 400?
The number of people who believe that God has his hand in the creation of the world has not changed much in the last 30 years. What is going to change in the near future to make a difference in those numbers? If people haven't figured it out in the last 30 years, I have my doubts that 30 more years is going to make much of a difference.

It seems like a lot of people are unhappy with Google's FREE service. If you don't like how Google is running THEIR business, start your own or find one that is age appropriate for kids. I fail to understand why people get mad when they can't get exactly what they want from a company that is offering their services for no additional charge to the user. If the users were paying something, ie AOL, then i would understand.
The word and concept of "exploration" is not necessarily human related. Animals and robots acting on our behalf can and do "explore." Why did the chicken cross the road? I would argue: "to find new resources and to expand it's knowledge of the surrounding area." Sounds like exploring to me.
I don't necessarily disagree that humans should at some point wander around Mars and beyond, i think that the available tech for human travel beyond LEO is still too costly to bring us enough return on our investment.
Most jobs are "at will." This can translate to someone not liking your tattoo or color of your skin and finding a way for you to be let go. Ever been 1 minute late to work? Failed to make finish a project on time? Checked your bid on ebay on the company computer? These are all reasons a company could give for letting you go. Trying to prove intent in a unemployment hearing is pretty pointless. I don't disagree with the law or it's intent, but the reality is the law can only be used in extremely flagrant cases.
Wouldn't it be easier to just write RKK Energia a check for a couple of billion dollars and call it done? I think we can outspend Iran, Iraq (when were they throwing around that kind of money, anyway?), and North Korea (i thought they were more into exporting their tech for some cold hard dollars).
Sorta makes me sad that Carl Sagan isn't around anymore and apparently no one noticed. Some pop star kicks the bucket and the world comes to a grinding halt.:(
The problems i have with multiple accounts is that TB will check my main account on start up, but it wont check the rest of them until i physically click "Get Mail."
Flamebait... you call that Flamebait? Seems to hit a too close to home for someone.
PS i have already pre-ordered the scences from outside the theater. I can't wait!

Sell it as new and put the money towards something that's built for the purpose you want it for. Bit easier than staring into the red rings of death .
There, fixed that for you.
Actually if you read the whole article down to the posted comments you come across a link to a retraction that Fox News printed. http://whitehouse.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/05/18/biden-did-not-reveal-the-secret-bunker/ The real undisclosed location is "allegedly" in Pennsylvania. I know, i know...this is slashdot no one RTFA.

I, for one, want to welcome our new alien Mouse overlords.

electricty moves slower than the speed of light in copper. So unless everything is fiber... it would have to be a lot closer.
my Inspirion 8200 never, ever, got that kind of battery life. I was lucky to finish a DVD on a new battery.

Is this another example of Britsh humor? Please stop.
