Exactly. When private business refuses to meet consumer needs, why not? I see this as meeting a community's infrastructure needs.

Good point. There is a difference of purpose with Facebook. BTW, Facebook does use framing when following a shared link that does not have built-in support for the site like YouTube.

With the Anti-Life Equation.

Thanks you for stating that as well as you did.

Thanks. My wife tried to explain the same thing to me. She had cervical cancer 3 years ago and does still go for her paps.

Thanks you for posting this. My wife had a hysterectomy after cervical cancer, and IS supposed to continue to get them (less frequently, of course). She knows much more about this than I do, but when I told her about this article, she said it was irresponsible to suggest after cancer is removed you no longer need to get paps. She was a surgical tech, worked in an OBGYN office and grew up around family working in medicine. She doesn't know everything, but she did her homework on this when we were dealing with it. Anyone out there who deals with this, your life is worth more than this sound-bite critique.

I do think you have a good point about smaller bands though. My instinct is that there is a certain threshold of fame required before making a leap like this.

Is that true? I am trying to find the final numbers, but coming up with articles predicting the results up through late 2007. It was my understanding that the cut-off date was always planned, and not the result of poor digital sales. I just read that around 12% paid from $8-$12 for in rainbows (the 2nd largest group). Hell, I paid the standard iTunes $9.99 when I could have gotten it for free. Does anyone have some hard numbers here? I see a claim that they made 10 million, but think that was pretty early press.

This really bothers me, and I voted for Obama. I had hoped the days of living in a police state would have turned around after the election. Obviously, I was naive. As long as individual gun-ho officers are on the beat, looks like they don't need a decree from above.

Good point. Thanks.

Could this be the result of the outbound TCP connection limit imposed after XP SP2?

Brilliant. How do I post a rim-shot?

I wonder how Toyota and their "supposed" attorney Garrett Biggs (anyone have an address) would feel about the onslaught of "Toyota Sucks Balls" desktop wallpapers that might start showing up. I think "Garrett Biggs Sucks Balls" also has a nice ring to it. Nothing wrong about sucking balls. I just wonder how they would react. And for those of you who believe this is childish, yes it is. But so is their behavior, and sometimes the kiddies only respond to name calling. Damn, this back injury IS making me mean.
