Can you please share the names of some of the things you've tried? We're trying to find something other than iChat or Skype. If there are tools specifically geared toward it, that would be interesting. Thx.
Actually, I was wondering if this was being done in anticipation of the shakeup that will happen after the purchase... Get it? Get it? Thanks folks. I'm here all week. Try the veal and tip your waitress...:)
Jebus. I so wanted to read your post and point out how ignorant you are until I got to No. 6. Very well said and, frankly, something that has made me start to rethink my previous comments on votes like this. To date, I would have fallen under category 1 (although, I don't know if "tolerant" would be my adjective;)) but I might be able to squeeze in your point in 6.
I wonder actually how much has to do with Rupert Murdoch (say his name three times and he appears, so be carefull.) There was an interview a few days ago in "Portfolio" with Paul LaMonica's discussing his new book, "Inside Rupert's Brain." From the article:
MM: You describe Murdoch has having almost a kind of attention deficit disorder -- he gets obsessed with something for two or three years, then forgets all about it and moves onto something else. Recently, he's been taking a lot of criticism for his fixation on newspapers. Is it just a phase?
PL: That one I think is going to be a little more difficult for him to outgrow. Clearly he did kind of have that phase with satellite television and with online media...but with newspapers, simply because it is a business he grew up in, it may be a little harder for him to let go that infatuation, especially since The Wall Street Journal is something he's hungered for for at least two decades. Anything that's a kind of ego-driven type of media business, which in many cases books and newspapers are, it may be difficult for him to give that up even if it's not fiscally a growing part of his business.
the first tangible move toward making federal legislative data available to the public in bulk
And then isn't the reverse true? Won't it make it easier to collect a lot more information about who is pulling what data? I'm not saying it's happened in the past (I don't know if that suit ever went anywhere) but it is certainly possible.
I've been wondering the same thing about comic-book stores. I know they tend to have customer loyalty and host gaming nights and such to bring people into the store, but with online distribution (or if you're a reader vice collector, can you just read them online?) what then?
Why the hell is this post marked troll? They're valid points and ones I've seen in plenty of other posts on other subjects. Granted, while I think d3ac0n isn't someone I'd have a beer with and I disagree with what he's saying, this post doesn't qualify as a troll.
I don't know if it's still entirely free, but PHPNuke was always relatively simple to set up and always seemed to have the modules I wanted to do what I needed. Granted, this was before "blogging" but as editors we could always post entries (we used it for technology news, writing a quick summary and then posting a link to the story). So it's not apples to apples, but it was a CMS solution and would seem to be at least partly an alternative for either of the mentioned apps.

It's like he's a Mac user or something ... ;)

It worked for SCO... Oh ... hrmmm.

You forgot 1.5 - Roll for damage.
It's true. I miss the thoughtful and poignant role Daggit played, binding together the plots and characters and making it truly a space opera. ;)
Doesn't it come as a component of the Exchange server?

Well, I suppose that depends on the quest.

And compete with Fox News? Forget it!

I thought that's why we have kids?
Actually, I was thinking the summary was talking about the DVD case/jacket for them to determine how we react to the images/title/etc.
Maybe people interested in the Verizon Hub but want one that actually does something and doesn't cost a gazillion dollars?

Meucci should have called ahead to let them know he was on his way. ;)

And now he's a congressman for which district? ;)
And what about the growing issue of ISPs capping bandwidth-per-month usage?
