sony did this once before, with a fake movie reviewer: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4741259.stm

black labs will pretty much mate with anything that goes on four legs, and some that walk on two

it would be nice if browsers did this on their own without the need for plugins...

doesn't this sort of defeat the purpose of a sniper to begin with?

this is why you politely ask your neighbor to chip in for the connection. if they're willing to split the bill, they should be willing to pay a bit extra when they want more bandwidth. i always share my wifi with neighbors if they're willing to pay for their share...

there are other websites out there that stream live sports, it's not like espn360 is unique in the content they deliver. this is just extortion at its base level, from a company that has the legal muscle to do pretty much whatever they feel like doing. if you want to watch a live baseball game, MLB has a pay per view site. if you want to watch tennis, there's a pay per view site for that too. in addition to at least one free site that i've used for all sports, www.myp2p.eu

better yet, if you get email from a marketing place that you would rather not receive, just flag it as spam and eventually you'll stop receiving those emails without having to confirm your own email to the return server

Amen to that! I do a lot of travel to client sites for my job, and I live in California, so having a motorcycle means I no longer worry about being stuck in traffic. Of course, I can no longer claim traffic as the reason I am late getting back to the office either...

Israel is destroying itself from within the longer it allows the conflict to continue. The separation wall they are building along (and inside) the Green Line is taking up resources that were once used to feed and clothe their own children. Providing security and supplies to the settlers in the West Bank costs money that would be better spent investing within the *un*disputed Israeli borders. The main reason for pulling out of Gaza was that it was getting too expensive to station several army units to protect a few thousand settlers. Until Israel recognizes that making peace with its neighbors is the only way to be a truly secure nation, it will continue to destroy itself.

Plus your invoking of the Holocaust of course means we are supposed to break down and give the Israelis sympathy for inflicting a different sort of Holocaust on the Palestinian peoples. What's the difference between the ovens of Nazi Germany and the gunship airstrikes and house demolitions the IDF undertakes on an almost daily basis? Israel has not killed nearly as many Palestinians as the Holocaust killed jews (yet) but they are certainly making a good effort of it.

Until the international community successfully determines the status of the territories, nobody technically can claim the land. Israel has de facto annexed it by building so many settlements (contrary to international law) and Israel claims the land as its own, but the final status has yet to be determined. Saying it is Jordan is missing the bigger picture.

when i took PDE's as an undergrad in my physics major, we didn't really learn anything except how to regurgitate solutions to standard forms. i *wish* i could have studied how to actually solve those things, but instead i ended up with an open book/open notes final exam where the prof's "review" consisted of giving us the answers to every question he was going to ask on the exam....
