I believe the question is "Why does Internet Radio have to pay out the ass when normal radio only has to pay 'reasonable' royalties?"
(Reasonable is of course up to interpretation)
You seem to imply that I'd actually click on those ads. When these websites start putting in ads that relate to their site, that are actually worth looking at, and don't take up half the space on the page I'll take off adblock. But really, I'm not interested in Adult Friend Finder and v14gr4. As for this site, I have to admit that the ads are pretty well built into the site, but there are 2 popup windows. Any site that uses popups for ads isn't going to convince me to stop using adblock.
The greenhouse effect isn't a perfect mirror. A lot of heat (most?) would dissipate back into space. If everything that got into the atmosphere was stuck permanently, the Earth wouldn't be visible from space (well, it would be visible, but it would be black).
It seems to me that OpenOffice isn't really aimed at people who are obsessed with how their word processor performs. I didn't even know what kerning was until this story, and I certainly can't tell the difference.
Try using it for actually typing a document instead of doing weird tricks you're used to doing in Microsoft Office and you'll find that your problem is that you're used to another program, not that the alternative is flawed.
I have some friends who have them. They look nice and all. The problem I see is that you're paying extra for wireless, and it's not useful for anything. Maybe if you could ACTUALLY share songs (some of us do have music that's free) or sync it with your computer wirelessly it would be worth having.
And I do think that it's sexy.
Ubuntu has an update program that appears in your system tray when there are upgrades just like Windows does (except it updates all of your programs and not just the OS).
What exactly is the point of running Windows on a mac? Why not just get a PC with similar specs and run Windows on the hardware it's designed for (read: everything works correctly)?
If aliens sent us here, it seems a lot more likely that they dropped off something a lot less advanced than humans, and then let evolution take its course.
Make the astronauts inside wear the power suits, then connect them via power cord to the astronaut in the space suit? (I don't know if this defeats the purpose, but aren't astronauts already attached to the ship with a cable anyway?)
My school was paid to have pop machines, but I don't consider it to be on the same level as this. The school was paid to have pop machines, not to say anything good about Coke. In fact, the teachers/administrators frequently said things like "Don't you know that that's bad for you?"
Slashdot Mirror
Is there a way to mod something -1 stupid? I shall sum up this comment in one sentence: "We shouldn't even try to think. Only God can do that."
Because corn syrup is cheap and most of your pet food is fillers?

The fact that our generation for the most part didn't play text based games doesn't make them any less important to gaming as a whole.
Problem is.. no matter what you search for, you end up eating viagra..

Er.. add in "for fun" somewhere in there..
What are you talking about? Plenty of people code for Windows, we call them "virus writers". ;)
Actually the question would be "Is television content 6x bigger than in the last 15 years", which seems to be the whole point of HD ;)
If only you could rate posts +1 1337z0rz..

Not guaranteed. Check the odds. 1:45000 != 1:1
Unfortunately, your proposed domain name is too large for Godaddy to register :'(

I was under the impression that major changes were made to the base OS between NT and 2000.
This is what Dell calls an upgrade ;)

Ah, but we're killing them because we want their oil, not because we care about their religion.
Screw that, I want World of Starcraft.
Damn.. I was really hoping that was a real mail service. Stupid ad-filled domains..
