I tried watching Lost on ABC's site and the experience was pretty bad. They had an annoying animated background with lightning going off while I was trying to watch the show. Even more annoying was the commercials they chose to air. I was watching season 2 and they showed commercials for the new season. I don't want too see ads for the new season which may contain spoilers for the season I'm currently watching!
"Rest assured, the idiots in the current majority party will also be called out."
Really? Then why hasn't the president been called out for walking into a window? Or giving the wrong format DVD's to the British PM? If Bush had done these things he'd have been torn apart on Slashdot.
Nope. When I was in school, I liked science, but most kids hated doing science fair projects. I wanted to do projects that were interesting, like show how something worked. But the school imposed the rule that every project had to be based on the idea of answering some question.
I once worked at an electronics retailer (whose name rhymes with "ack"). It wasn't approved by upper management, but the manager at my store used to tell the employees to add the extended warranties to the customer's bill without telling them. He said to do that and if the customer complained to take it off.

Why stop there? Slashdot is open source, let's fork it!
Are they could, know you, make it a user preference setting as to where it goes.

Not trying to start an ST/Amiga flame, just agreeing with your point: I haven't seen a program like the old CyberPaint since the days of the ST.
So, you're admitting that even though the Amiga had better hardware, the ST was still able to compete with it? :-)
One thing that didn't help was the assertion by CBS (and others) in 2000 that Gore won Florida before half the state had voted.
"capable of surviving even a hard-disk wipe."
The BIOS isn't stored on the hard drive, so why is this surprising?
It's not Ron Paul they called crazy. It was his rabid followers.

"They'll have to dump a cool billion in order to upgrade."
They're making lots of money from all those iPhone users, they can afford to upgrade their network.
Verizon (in my area, at least) seems able to maintain a 3G network.

Good point. I'd consider paying extra to get a computer without all the crapware that comes on a new machine.
If boycott = not watching it anymore, then I've been doing that for a while.
1. Nobody calls it "Frisco."
Tell that to Hardee's
"as opposed to the general public and the female audience in particular"
Isn't the the whole point of having a channel dedicated to one subject--to go after people interested in that subject?
They don't actually show science fiction anymore anyway.

What they've got to do is pretend the last two TNG movies didn't happen. Start over after First Contact.
...ISPs are the new cable companies? Great. Just Great. :-(
I could still live without Digg and the Huffing Post.
At my last job, I sent out a top ten list of reasons for leaving. I had things like:
*) "All COBOL, All the time" no longer the exciting thrill it once was
and
*) This part of my world domination plans is now complete
Open source software seems to be moving along at a good pace all by itself. It doesn't need any help. Give the money to someone who needs it.
Is the iPhone a good driver?
It was my understanding that this wasn't possible before because Microsoft wouldn't allow oems to do it. Has this changed?
Okay, time to work. Let's see:
MP3 player running .... check .... check .... check
IM client running
Firefox running
Now all I have to do is start Word and I'll be ready to work.
