People should really check the timestamps on things before they apply the REDUNDANT label. Five minutes really isn't long enough a period to justify this. The previous post along the same lines as mine wasn't visible at the time I began my reply.
...blasphemous! Everyone knows that the Internet didn't evolve. Al Gore merely snapped his fingers and there it was. And he saw that it was good. And on the second day, he created the environment.
...there's always that strange distortion effect in the background; know what I'm talking about? I have pretty sensitive hearing and can pick it out of even a high quality online stream no problem. Furthermore, I prefer to have control over what I'm hearing...I'll continue to stick with my CD collection.
Yeah you have a point. I'm very sorry to have a system free of virii, spyware, devastating software glitches, and the inability to compile and install Linux apps. Man, I'm so jealous of you.
I agree. It is an extremely clean interface...but then that's the whole point of the operating system for which is was made, clean, sharp, and to the point.
...that more people are buying into Apple computers than ever. True, Firefox is available for Mac OS X, but most Mac fanatics such as myself using OS are discovering Camino, which is also produced by Mozilla.
"The initiative is clearly not welcomed by commercial scientific publishers such as Elsevier Science."
My personal amazement never diminishes when companies or institutions complain over a competitor offering a good/service at lesser or no cost to the consumer. The price of academic materials climbs higher and higher each year without justification. If finding out that one plus one equals two and that Earth's gravitational field is measured at nine point eight meters per second squared costs X number of dollars this year, there is no reason it should cost X plus Y dollars next year. Sooner or later, you lose your target market -- especially when someone comes along fed up with the situation enough to do something meaningful about it.
...that NEON, which endeavors to study, document, and integrate our lives more closely into the natural world is named after a substance that has no known biological role?

...to update any software aboard the Enterprise. Haven't you heard? She's been decommissioned.
I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlord.

Yes, I remember that article. Actually there were several, but this is one I read recently that really goes into depth about the problem.

...because I'm sure I'm not the first person to "think" that this is the most ridiculous marketing rubish Microsoft has pushed this week.
I wonder who's got the prior art on stupid ideas; perhaps they should sue Microsoft.
Or one of those RAID clusters of iPods rigged to go off in tandem.
...the primary choice of militant geeks everywhere.
Damn straight, brother.

Well, that's okay. Often data is altered, padded, or just plain made up to make researchers sound smart -- I mean, 74.2% of all people know that.
Or at least a loud ringing in his ears...though as Side Show Bob once put to Bart, "Fortunately, you'll be nowhere near them."
...was mastered long ago by the Chinese official, Wan Hu. He clearly has prior art.
Or Twinkies?
