Yay. Microsoft has a couple delayed product releases. Isn't this what we've come to expect from Microsoft, and, in fact, from the entire software industry? Why all the uproar? Maybe a little more caffeine will help me understand.
My thoughts exactly! With that pricing scheme, why would anybody buy the write-once discs? And if no one is going to buy them, Sony is wasting money by making them.
If you're not doing anything wrong then why not invite complete strangers to pull up a bench outside your window, open a bag of popcorn, and enjoy the show? Oh, heck, just give a tour of your home to any stranger who shows up un-announced, at any time of the day or night!
If I want my life to be an open book I'll publish memoirs.
"As an aside, how would you like to be in the homeowner's shoes when he opens up his mail box and finds an $8M property tax bill? I'm sure there was a trip to the emergency room or the dry cleaners involved."
Dry cleaners? For what? Underwear? Dry cleaning is for delicate garments; it doesn't necessarily clean better. If you're not sitting around in lacy lingerie every day then just throw your undies in a plain old washing machine. If they're tighty whiteys, use bleach.
If you can afford to send *all* your clothing to the dry cleaners, then you can probably afford the $8M property tax bill! (I'm just being contrary, of course)
I'm a pretty infrequent movie viewer. Sometimes it'll take me a full month to send a movie back to Netflix. I think they should give priority to people who watch movies all the time. I don't think I'd be terribly bothered if I had to wait an extra day for my next movie so that someone who cares more about it can get their next movie. I like the quick turnaround I currently get, but I'm sure other subscribers would appreciate it more than me.
So tumors were more likely than average to appear on the cell phone side and less likely than average to appear on the phone-free side. Obviously, cell phones attract tumors. If the subjects of the study had just used their cell phones *more*, they could have sucked the tumors right out of their heads!
I've used waterless urinals in an office building on route 9 in Southboro, Massachusetts (between ACMI and Quizno's). I didn't see (or smell) any drawbacks except that it feels wrong to walk away from a urinal without flushing.
Piers Anthony wasn't a good writer, either. ISTR that they've both admitted that fact. The important part is that their works are (guilty) pleasures. I'm contractually obligated to add: Squee!
"Eye On MOGS is a search-engine come comparison/availability tool..."
What does that mean? I think the word you wanted was the Latin preposition "cum", not "come."
End of professional astronauts?

Space Tourism?

In the long run, can we continue to justify paying professional astronauts when there are people willing to *pay* to do their jobs? If people were willing to pay millions to do my job, I'm sure I'd be thrown to the curb in an instant.

I use last.fm, but not so much for getting recommendations on new music as for getting some insight into my listening habits.
There's a recent startup that has caught my eye, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in this discussion:

I think he's a spammer.

With no oversight, who's to say they even kept any records of their domestic spying?
Silk... That's so money! :)

The IP ranges of US Congress have been currently blocked
I'm not sure what good that'll do; they'll just make their edits from private IP addresses.
Tridge? That's a bridge in Midland, Michigan. It's worth a visit if you're in the area, but it tends to flood in the spring.

It's not on my calendar, but I think it's in March or April.
Oh hey, this isn't the season to be a spelling Nazi. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, folks!
For crying out loud, the original article spells "Claus" correctly. Where'd the extraneous "e" come from? :P
So we can pay more so that our cars will actively resist doing what we want them to do? Gee, why didn't I think of that?

It sounds to me like he's angling for a position in the Bush administration, such as head of FEMA.
Darknets increase bandwidth? That's awesome! All hail darknets!
Why would I waste my time and my bandwidth downloading a podcast if I'm not going to listen to it?
Are DLP TVs normal now? I thought they were still pretty darned high-end. But then, I don't have a TV, so what do I know?
