I have Archos Internet Tablet 5. They sold quite a few here in the States. Unfortunately, the device is buggy as hell. When they came out with the tablet, Archos promised Android 2+ update but so far it is still stuck with Android 1.6 (Donut). The "official" market for the tablet is a tiny subset of the market by Google. There are random reboots and hangups. For some reason the wireless is really crappy. To its credit,Archos has released a number of firmware updates. But even after all this updates, the random reboots and hangups have not been fixed. The sound quality is good but I would not recommend it to anybody.

Incitement to murder (even if it was a joke) should not be a free speech matter. The councilor said publicly that this writer should be killed. Joking about killing somebody in public, particularly when you are in a elected position, is not funny and should be illegal.

Notes: Subject is playing WoW. Of course he's playing WoW. He's been playing WoW since I started this fucking log. What the hell is the point of stalking someone who never leaves their computer except to pee and/or restock their Cheetos supply? It's like *I'm* the pathetic wastrel here. Oh god. Have I become a pathetic wastrel? Stalker's log out!

I prefer my data-center to be further away from active volcanoes.

Well that explains it.

latency. It must have been latency that caused the volcano death machine to move so slowly and permit Mr Bond to escape. I shall have to build my next evil lair in iceland.

Citation needed. Who modded this shit +5 insightful. WSJ, or at least the editorial page, is very right wing, and have been known to spread outright lies , lies and more lies. The paper is owned by the "impartial" owner of Fox news, Rupert Murdoch.

Good luck with that. It works for the WSJ because the WSJ reports actual news; investors will not tolerate op-ed rants being passed off as news because it would make the WSJ worthless for financial analysts. The NYT (and subsidiaries like the Boston Rag, er, Globe) pass off op-eds as news and ignore stories which don't support their biases - such lack of objectivity is not something you are likely to succeed in selling online to people in business. People at home will just tune to CNN and FauxNews for their daily dose of op-eds rather than sit in front of a browser to pay for their spoon-fed propoganda.

Mod Parent up. One of the most insightful posts in the discussion. I see rants about immigrants coming to "overpopulated" countries. I see rants about cultural purity. Half of the posts that I read here are basically racist and xenophobic. Then I stumble into this gem. A open world is better for everybody- restrictions on human movements are basically against human rights. Humans should have the right to go where they want to.
