ISPs that do newsgroups typically don't do binary groups anymore, because the storage requirements (to say nothing of bandwidth) are way off the scale. Also, the capture and retention on ISP news servers are notoriously crappy. Some companies provide real (premium) newsgroup access as a paid service. Three of the very best are Giganews, EasyNews, and Newsfeeds.com. Try searching Google for "usenet service providers".
First, why would I waste the (high-speed) bandwidth to watch talking-head/film-clip news which is inherently low-speed bandwidth?
Second, a web-page has the same built-in layout as a newspaper (ooooh! that looks interesting - click), not the serial presentation of TV; plus the ability to switch from text to film-clips, active graphics, sound, etc.
So why do I want to watch network news over the Internet?
Intel wanted everybody to move to RDRAM, and tried their best, in their quiet, shy retiring way, to get all the motherboard manufacturers to switch. It was the high-end motherboard buyers (you know, the type who read Tom's Hardware every day) who refused to have anything to do with RDRAM, and cost was the least of their considerations. That's why DDR won, even as the prices were rising.

Parser error - I can't make heads or tails of that. It doesn't make any sense.

The "herds of invisible pink unicorns" and "flying spaghetti monster" have not been disproven, nor can be, either. I guess, by your logic, that makes them "viable hypotheses" as well.
Actually, I was reasonably serious, I just said it silly-like. While I can see an object having multiple begaviors (in Java-speak implementing an interface or two); I cannot see an object having multiple states, which is what's really implied by MI. To me, an (non-trivial) object is about the data it contains, and/or the state it preserves. To say that a thing is both one thing and another (from a data standpoint) in the same breath, to me just smacks of bad design. Again, nothing wrong with having unrelated behaviors, just no unrelated data, please.
I never got the joy of multiple inheritance, anyways.

"It's a floor wax!"
"It's a desert topping!"
"No, it's both! New Schimmel is a floor wax and a desert topping!"

The second rule of fight club is never post through your ISP. Anonymous posting is what Giganews or EasyNews is all about.

So much for flying under the [RI|MP]AA's radar. I just can't wait until they start issuing subpenas and crapflooding the MP3 and multimedia groups.
Um, bibity bobity boo, you fail it?
Indeed. My first thought on seeing the article headline was "A Louisville (sp) LART"??
Bingo. This is a bunker-buster-sized FUD bomb.
Yup, I suggest you RTFAs connected to this.
Are you forgetting where they claimed that errno.h got lifted wholesale?
Have you nothing better to do with your life than go about correcting people's spelling and grammar?
Nope.
I think the Google cookie is pretty evil. There's no chance I'm going to let Google track my viewing habits too.

there: a place, not here
their: belonging to them
they're: they are
so that would be:
whoops, messed up the html there
The quality of RTE's streams are not great but they're watchable.

That's the [Chet] Atkins diet.
Do you mean "risen from the dead"?
Bacause Rambus doesn't actually make anything - they're an "IP" company (read useless, blood-sucking leeches).

Well, at least the sharks do something useful, which is more than I can say for the lampreys.
All of them.
You bastard! I got Coke coming out my nose! You owe me for a new keyboard!
I followed the link to the "IBM ThinkPad" and got a review of a Lenovo product.

ID is not a hypothesis, it's a wish.

Because Microsoft's testing procedure works so well, Sun should emulate it?
