You should by able to say "I want to fly to Whistler" and not get references to zippers, paintings and insects. The semantic web will allow you to do that.
As someone previously posted, this mandates that people actually put meaningfull (read: not misleading) information in their meta data tags.
I always figured the main advantage of the semantic web was that by providing data in machine-parseable format, you can have the computer automate a lot of stuff for you.
I.e, "book tickets for me on the earliest flight that goes to New York." should make a program check flight listings, fetch the relevant result and send a request to the ticket server.
This could theoretically be done by grokking through HTML pages but since since HTML design is non-standardized, you'd have to roll out a screen scraper for every page. The Semantic Web should standardize all of this.

IE is now becomming like Notepad.
Just a lame tool to fill a quick need.
For anything more serious, you should invest in a better tool.
They know it's a fake since no virus would disguise itself as such
And this is a reason to click it?
Frankly, if you don't know what an attachment does, you shouldn't be opening it at all.
By manually typing the URL in the address bar, you can verify the information that Internet Explorer uses to access the destination Web site

If you're going to express yourself, the government listening in and recording it is fair game.
And this is OK as long as you can trust the government to not punish you for it.
Can you trust the current administration in this way?
Hey, you stole my idea :)
