I have, but never anything really direct. Just stuff from China/Hong Kong on eBay, which does get held by customs but I've never had to pay customs fees on my own.
What are "cross-border delays and charges"? Also, I pay for Amazon Prime, and that's a flat $80 for shipping on their stocked products. I'm pretty certain just a couple things out of the lot that I've ordered this year saved me that $80 on their own.
Maybe you should have tried a little harder. Best Buy is supposed to match their website prices. There was a huge ordeal a while back on how their in-store computers were showing different prices on their own website so they didn't have to match the lower price on the internet facing one.
That's what OpenID delegates are for. I have a page set up that I log in to OpenID sites with, and that page contains metatags to forward to the provider of my choice. Provider goes down, I can switch internally and never change my login URL.
The problem is, even if the person putting it out does it as a joke, there are bound to be people who believe it (./) and others that will help carry out the attacks, unaware the whole time.
If your laptop is having an issue connecting to the net, then you should be on the phone with Verizon. If your laptop is having some other problem, you should contact the manufacturer - and it's not Google. Granted that Google did do the "support" for the Nexus One, but they also completely hid the fact HTC made it.
On your point about Counter-Strike, it's really disappointing to see most game developers (usually inside places like EA) moving to matchmaking and not releasing modding tools for PC. It's one of the big reasons I'm a PC gamer, as well as Valve being one of my favorite companies. Even more recently Fallout New Vegas has mod tools to let people create new content. There are a lot of Unreal Engine games that have the capability to be modded or have maps made but the developers don't allow it.
No, that's not what I meant. You and the GP are talking about distributed DNS that a client uses. For example, at home I use my ISP's DNS servers. This is what we want alternative DNS for, and I don't disagree with you. However, Amazon's service is for DNS nameservers. When I own a domain, I point the nameservers at ns1.example.com, ns2.example.com, which officially say that example.com points at 192.168.1.1. This is the service Amazon is hosting. You could do this at several places, but instead of hosting it yourself on your own server using BIND, or depending on someone else externally, you can use Amazon just like you are EC2 for your DNS.
Yeah, probably. If you're already running all their services, do you really want to manage BIND or equivalent by yourself? Linode offers DNS for their VM service, I'm sure others do too.
I'm confused. The study says there's no conclusive link, BUT they support the 18+ rating (which now allows these games instead of banning them). How is this a bad thing?
This will only effect smaller items, though. Shipping services would still be needed for the big stuff, and plenty of that gets sent around. I would assume that heavier stuff doesn't have quite the profit margin smaller items do, though.

Where's the Warehouse 13 love? (Also Eureka, but others have mentioned it above me)
That's rather easy, click on the link at the bottom for 1500-1665. A lot of OCR errors, it looks like.

Page hits and ad clicks aren't extrapolated from a few people filling out a Neilson rating for the week.
Did you mean: star wars prequel storyline
"Cleverly fooled ya!"? I think you meant FOOLED YOU!

/., not ./. Too much console administration lately.

I meant the wireless 3G service provided by Verizon for every unit.

Excluding fire itself, obviously, because there certainly don't need to be people around for things to catch fire. No oxygen, no problems?

I misread that as PlayStations and the Department of Defense.
No, just sad.
Yes, because they have access to the financial network to attack it. ...
Or radar.

I know it's not normal to read the article on Slashdot, but seriously? Amazon is offering DNS hosting. Think BIND, not OpenDNS or whatever.
Yeah, probably. If you're already running all their services, do you really want to manage BIND or equivalent by yourself? Linode offers DNS for their VM service, I'm sure others do too.

Unfortunately this will be more like UDP, and the destroyed canisters won't get resent.
