It could create a small chink in the armor that leads to a groundswell. -- OliverWillis.Com
Most of the media focus has been on these "24 poor detainees" and their families boo-hooing that Bush should just say "sorry" so the "boys can come home".
Gimme a break.
They're soldiers damn it! Unlike anyone else in society they should know the very real risks involved in their profession. They should be prepared to sit in China for a year (their accomodations are as nice as a Motel 6 at least) and wait it out. It's what they do.
I hate GWBush more than I can express, but I support him 110% in this one. -- OliverWillis.Com
What about other kids who are not in this situation?
Maybe they shouldn't have had children in the first place. It's not the role of government to raise your kids, there are much better wastes for my tax dollars out there. -- OliverWillis.Com
The company I'm the cofounder of, Humancasting is developing a peer to peer system where individuals can produce high quality content and disemminate it to a large audience with a lot less concern for things like bandwith, etc. that is straining the current flock of users. -- OliverWillis.Com
I love your characterization of retraining as "trivial". What do you think is harder - someone using a flawed but well known Windows interface, or trying to learn Gnome/KDE - which hasn't matured yet?
Geez, cause maybe working for the world's largest software company is a stable good paying job in the middle of an economic downturn. Or maybe you'd like to work for Eazel, TurboLinux, or Linuxcare... oh, oops. -- OliverWillis.Com
Sweet mother of god, I'd pay out the nose for access to video of the Redskins preseason and regular season games. Instead I'm stuck with Rams coverage in the town where they aren't (LA). -- OliverWillis.Com
Same thing happened when all the holo-foil, super great covers came to comics and the specualtors grabbed those "all-new" X-Men #1 by Jim Lee, that are now in the 5c bin at your local comic store (if there's still one left)... -- OliverWillis.Com

Sounds like Nintendo's been trying to spread some anti-MS FUD and they're running scared that they will be irrelevant. -- OliverWillis.Com
You're not the target. They want those of us who had a ps1 and are sitting on the sidelines waiting for the survivor of the ps2/dreamcast/xbox/gamecube war -- OliverWillis.Com
Perhaps there needs to be some sort of concerted effort to communicate the concept of micropayments (Amazon,Paypal,etc.). The sites looking to this model could band together - much like what happened vs the CDA, etc. -- OliverWillis.Com
What I'm saying is, for resources that are popular and are considered valuable (Slashdot for example) - someone has to pay the bills to keep it going. I wouldn't think it would be fair to have Commander Taco and company to foot all that cost out of their pocket. That's why there's ads here.
Thanks for the comments on the dog anyhow..:) -- OliverWillis.Com

Evidently you've never set up a streaming server. Bandwith is a bitch. Someone has to pay.

Wait, let me guess:
1. They open up - "see, they're trying to sucker us in, to extinguish us"
2. They keep things closed - "see, they're trying to tie us in to one platform"
Will you guys ever ne happy with what they do? They're trying to run a business, not a community.

I'd like to see you write and draw a comic with the quality of PA as often as they do, as a "hobby".
It may not fit your narrow view of work, but it is. And they should be able to get a little something in exchange for it...
