In Arizona, for example, where I'm currently going to school, the government repeatedly made tax cuts to "help the economy" and is now going bankrupt in a huge shocker. This state is loaded with wealthy people, yet it's somehow on the brink of not being able to pay for basic social services. The public school system here is basically going down the tubes so the rich can keep from paying too much taxes and become even more disparately wealthy.
This country is sounding more and more like every period history class. The rich increasingly refuse to pay any taxes. In response, the government, powerless against said rich people, turn on the poor even more.
This is why I've been using chrome as my primary browser lately, no add-ons so far. I switch my relatives and friends as well. It's like the OS X of browsers. Constantly disabling add-ons that other programs conveniently installed for them is really annoying. It's like cleaning out the windows malware their PCs always manage to accumulate.
Just a few days ago I dealt with a PC that was running incredibly slow, a few seconds of lag for each letter typed. A quick look at the process list and I see firefox is using 99% cpu. I take a look at the add-ons and disable an add-on winamp snuck in and problem solved. Who knows what the winamp addon was doing, but it's really fucking annoying.
You can't go two minutes in this game without being thrown into a long cut-scene. I like to play my RPGs, not watch them.

So, you think any jackass manager should be able to whip together the companies site and not require a consultant that with the accumulated knowledge of working with it everyday?
It doesn't. This, like most IT books, is just going to be a lot of copy/pasting from the online documentation and a list of what modules to install. There's handfuls of Drupal modules that are pretty much must-have for most sites that cover this kind of 'missing' functionality. Each major release of Drupal incorporates more and more of them into the core download, but it's really not that hard to untar a couple extra modules each time.
Plus it lets other people come in and subsequently be trained for the same things, thus adding to the pool of similarly skilled individuals. Having the same guys take up the same positions for life does not seem even remotely good for the world/country.
Joomla! is terrible, and 1.5 has been floating around a long time. This guy sure took his sweet time writing the book. Luckily for him Joomla! development seems to move at a snails pace.
Drupal is so much better in every way that I've needed to use these free PHP CMSes, especially when it comes to custom module and theme development.
It looks pretty bad from the youtube clip on wired. I was expecting some kind of e-ink animation without sound, similar to minority report... This looks like trash.
Maybe there's something at the EU level that keeps rates similar across member countries? In that case, Finland's exceptional density would make their service seem like such a great deal to the consumer. Just a guess.
Because as a country we don't do what is right and sensible, we do what is necessary to protect the bottom line for the ultra-rich tycoons that own all this shit. They're keeping the american dream warm for us, after all.
The iPhone is not very good if you're talking larger book pdfs (jailbroken may be a different story). The best I've found so far is Air Sharing from the app store, which lets you map your phone via WebDAV. Once the files are on your phone it seems to use the built in display for that file type, the same pdf viewer you get from the mail app in this case. The viewing is good enough for me. I've read several smaller books with it already. The problem lies with trying to open large files. Anything over 10-15mb will likely lock up your phone. Anything over 25mb, forget about it. Sometimes I can't even kill the app when this happens and have to reboot the phone...
So what is the difference between this and the Windows Defender that comes with Vista? I don't trust any of these AV companies and haven't run their software in over a decade with no real problems. I do however let Windows Defender do whatever it does since upgrading to Vista. I never really looked into what that doing actually is though...

Why the sales pitch? The app is from NASA isn't it, and this is slashdot right? A headline like that, on this site, makes me not trust it at all...
Why all the Acer slashvertising lately? Acer produces the biggest piles of shit in the industry...
I think you're just confused about what money actually is.

That's what all the hubbub over Google Wave was about, wasn't it? I'm guessing what you're talking about isn't too far away.
Wordpress isn't really a CMS in the same vein as Joomla! It's very flexible blogging software.

Wow, you're so full of shit. There's no comparison at all there...

Then deorbit it?
Maybe they have a fat policy on it...
Great, now semen displacement is in my google search history...
Because what they believe is fucking STUPID.
It's still all complete bullshit, with or without the 'wierd add-ons'.
Showing ads isn't evil and adblocking software is asinine. The days of a 100 pop-ups are long gone.
