Personally, I think Google should ignore, (or at least penalise with lower rankings) sites that use noarchive.
There's nothing worse than finding an article in Google, clicking on the link, and the page not longer part of the website.
Being able to read the cached version means the result is not a total waste of time.
I realise the internet is used to make money, and that controlling information is a way that websites think that they'll make money, but search engines are used to find information, not to try and coax subscribers to shithole websites trying to make a buck.
Lowering the pagerank of sites with the 'noarchive' tag will improve the search engine's ability to get useful information for the user.
The reason you get charged for incoming calls in the USA (at least I think) is that the cellphone numbering system is different.
In New Zealand, cellphones numbers start with 027, 021, 025 or 029. The person knows that they're calling a cellphone, and to what network they're calling.
In America it seems that cellphone numbers are indistinguishable from regular phone numbers, they have an prefix which is the same as the area code the phone was sold in.
It costs more for a phone company to connect a cellphone call, but it is unfair to charge the person dialing at a 'cellphone rate', as they may have had no idea that they're not phoning a landline.
Phone companies pass the cost (overpriced) of the cellphone connection to the person receiving the call.
Disney (and all the other movie companies really) used to be quite un-PC about their animal stunts.
They used to lay trip wires across the ground to cause a horse to fall over when filming their Westerns. This allegedly broke a few of the horses' legs.
According to Animal Liberation Front (and similar organisations) Clint Eastwood tried to stop the movie makers doing this in his films.

Microsoft have said that Acid2 is not a priority for them, and I doubt the final version of IE7 will work either.

I don't see why Google.com shows TS massacre information first, yet Google.cn just shows information on the place.
To play Google's advocate, maybe it's because GoogleChina favours Chinese sites above English ones, and Chinese ones don't talk about the massacre.
