Everyone. My father is very smart, yet when he wants to go to the cbc, he googles it, because it is simply easier, remember those AOL keywords? Its the exact same thing. They will use it even if it takes more clicks (ie. using the search bar in safari instead of simply typing cbc.ca).
The point is google is easier, it seems my dad is not alone.
I wrote this for an English teacher of mine so I won't bother to reformat it, but it shows why us Canadians are reluctant to join into this program.
Winnipeg is among Canadian cities where a North Korean nuclear missile could land if the U.S. shot it out of the sky with its ballistic missile defence technology.
Although the chance of Winnipeg getting hit is distance, it's still a sobering thought for Prairie dwellers at a time when U.S. President George W. Bush is pushing Canada to sign onto his plan.
If the U.S. hit the feared missiles early enough, they would make it no farther then the arctic before landing or breaking apart. But a few minutes delay and a missile could fall much closer to its target, such as in southern Canada.
The anti missile technology works by destroying the rocket's booster rocket.
The Nuclear warhead would either break apart and scatter radioactive material over a wide path, or continue intact but come short of it's target, if it did hit the ground it may, or may not explode.
U.S analysts haven't thought much about the consequences for Canada, which lies in the path or a nuclear missile from North Korea, or of Berlin and Edinburgh, which lie in the path of a nuclear missile from Iran. A United States official commented that saving New York is worth killing one or two of our reindeer.
If you draw a line on the globe from North Korea to Chicago, it passes quite close to Yellowknife, The Pas, Kenora, and Winnipeg . I suppose Chicago is worth the three reindeer in Assiniboine Park, and 600 000 Winnipeggers eh?
The trajectory to Washington passes not far from Toronto.
If Canada joins this plan, we would have to demand protection of our major cities, but more then likely if we do join this, we will just end up being a target.
As a Canadian I can see that our two cultures are too intertwined for this not to happen, we usually pride ourselves on not being American, but we are always only a few years behind.

Seems conveniently priced at the price of a hard drive plus a decent amount of bandwidth, now if you are making an archive of quite a few mailing lists this may be worth it, however If I really needed this much space, I'd just host it myself.
Indeed they do, however it isn't as good as google search, and considering I have email with my domain, what else am I going to do with my GMail account:).
I signed up my GMail account to every Apple mailing list, mainly because I am a developer and want a searchable archive of exactly the mailing lists i want.

"IPod Shuffle Discontinued", which promptly made me think "Damn I wanted one".
Thank god.
You can see the difference between FireFox and IE:
These only affect Firefox nothing else in the operating system, and one is fixed in a prior release.

At least the parent company Overture, AlltheWeb seems to be their testing grounds, more specifically their video search.

Well I did download the original laser disk rips, so they are right, not releasing the original forced me to download the original!

Have fun, and by all means, tell us what you do

Now open office can implement Office:Mac 2004's transparent utility window!
I am shocked and appalled.
If they kept a well organized copy of the WIKIpedia on it and wrote "DON'T PANIC" in large friendly letters on the back...

Hot damn, this is one server that could survive a slashdotting.

When a popup is blocked retuen [window object] instead of null.
So that websites cannot show us some javascript crap instead of the pop-up.
I use scripts to sync my work all the time. I don't see what the big deal is here.
