Finally, they build one of the massive "what-if" projects.

Lets make collecting rain illegal. Since rain is free, it's anti-competitive. That way, us water utility companies can make more money.

Thanks for the link. As a private pilot, I use DUATS and ADDS frequently. They have my $0.02

Instead of just turning on IPv6 for a day, the whole collective (300 of them) should "shut off" IPv4 with a warning page that says you need IPv6. That will get the ISPs' attention. Lets face it, my mother doesn't know or care about IPv6 or I pee V6 [engines].

Didn't you know? They've had a opt-out for years now, although there is no link to it, you just kind of have to know how to do it

Maybe slashdot should have a poll about it instead of how much you hate Sony; we already know that information.

Why shouldn't he?

Sure, a lot of people use Linux on the desktop but (not counting phones) its server market share is (much) better. Frankly, if these patches are super-duper-mega-ultra-awesome, like you hint at, distro maintainers would be including them. I don't count phones because they're so far away from what you and I call "Linux" that it doesn't really count. I'm sure there are layers of proprietary garbage that would make latency worse with or without these patches.

Sweet. PHP finally has the qualifications to enter the X86 CPU market.

"blocking hot linking of images" is primarily done to save bandwidth and to force people to view your page for whatever reason (most likely ad money). I would presume that the same Hulu ads would be streamed to you if you used Google TV so why care? It's the same bandwidth whether or not I use the website or Google TV. It's not like Hulu shows external ads on the pages its self.

From TFA: "Ironically, NBC -- one of the networks blocking Google TV -- offers a CNBC Google TV application for fans of its news channel."
This seems to clearly be a case of one hand not knowing the other hand is doing.

From T[o]FA: "Google TV isn’t totally a lost cause ... because of the generosity of Comcast ... streams just about everything to Google TV: ABC, NBC, Fox, all but CBS ... The ironic part is that the content seems to be provided by Hulu itself"
Wait... How many fucking hands do I have?

Sometimes I really wonder is these media companies are just run by pre-pubescent boys. Does someone have the invitee list to the CEOs' birthday parties?

"Hello. Welcome to skype call testing services..."

or something like that. They have no excuse.

People keep telling me what movies I have to see. Thanks to you, I no longer need to see "Avatar" because I can just go corporation bashing whenever the topic comes up. Next on my list: The Matrix (original). Never seen it. Don't really wanna see it. But I "have" to see it. Can someone summarize that as eloquently as the Avatar summary above?
