"Is it really so generous to give that much money away when you don't even notice it's gone?"
It may not be as 'generous', but it sure as hell is more appreciated. If any charity foundation was given the chance between $5 billion from Gates (which he wouldn't notice one bit), and $5,000 from Joe Schmoe (which Joe WOULD notice), they would choose the donation from Gates.
Well, if you took the time to read the FAQ, you'll see the answer to your question.
From memory though, it has something to do with sites that use ads for revenue, and if the sites are cached, that whole method of revenue...doesn't work as well.
Wow, someone with an ID of 91 replied to me, I feel like I've been touched by the gods.
I'm familiar enough with the Book of Revelation (I got bored during sunday school at times and read that...it was interesting.) and that comment was simply a joke:)
He was supposed to know that the Russians would willingly retreat and give up land? He was supposed to know a tactic that was rarely, if ever, used before?

Did you happen to read anything about the Hot Coffee bit? That was fairly PC-centric.
Oh, and what about section on Columbine and Doom? Or did they play some console version of Doom?
To be fair, it was console-centric, but that's becuase most lawsuits were...well...console-centric.
Before posting in this topic, I was at Google News and saw the exact same headline, I didn't catch the source of it though.
Why did they fail? I see it as a success in not authoritizing it.
Is it legal now? Probably not.
Will it be legal later on once the various **AA figure out they can stop piracy (Oh, and terrorism too! Can't forget that!)? Of course.

This watch causes rampant masturbation?
D'oh. Hadn't thought of that.
Makes me wonder how I got modded up for that post...
What happens when the power goes out for Vonage customers? I read the description, but didn't see anything about this.

Sounds interesting. Care to post a link?
Eh, when I first read it, I was wondering how gamers would drive w/ a cell phone. Didnt' seem apt for steering.

The Four Horsemen are going to come out of it, obviously.

"No browser is safer that IE if you prevent it from accessing a network!"
Oh, I'm sure someone will still find a way.
Shh, he's insulting Microsoft. All facts mean nothing as long as you are insulting Microsoft. It's in the agreement of Slashdot somewhere.
Can you point out to me where it said Windows was used in this article? I can't seem to find it.
