Based on its contents, that article was written sometime late 2001, but nowhere does PCW show any indication of its original publication date! Now that is true bogosity in action.

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

Do you have a radio to turn on?

I did not read anything in TFA that even implied that there were no future plans to support other platforms. Could this not be a proof of concept exercise?

I get the paper delivered daily. Often I will read an article that I would like to quote or reference online. Unfortunately, when I go to the publisher's online venue, the article is hard to find and often not the same.

IFF this is truly equivalent to a normal newspaper, and IFF the articles are easy to quote or reference, my hardcopy newspaper subscription will become part of history.

PS - $52 per year is less than the cost of a normal newspaper.

PSS - My paper, with the sucky website is the S.J. Mercury News -- which advertises itself as the Silicon Valley paper. Too bad they don't know how to use the technology they write about.

All they need to do is bring back the draft. Then it is no longer someone else's kid, who volunteered, but "my" kid. It is no longer the kid down the street, but ME, who is going overseas to die. I suspect that will change the dynamics a wee bit.

And what is to prevent Big Daddy from sitting on your head, while reviewing your votes, to ensure that you give all the right answers. After all, Big Daddy doesn't want you to hurt yourself by voting for the wrong people. He'll even escort you to the polling place, to ensure that no one bothers you. Big Daddy cares deeply for you ... and your vote.

Which is why I am constantly arguing against the current move to get everyone to vote by mail.

And this is different from today's massive push for voting by mail in what way?

1) Request Vote By Mail ballot
2) Hand signed VBM paperwork to evil boss
3) After review it is mailed in to be counted

4) Evil boss profits

I loved your proposed signature... so I stole it.

> we have a VPN between the console and Siemens directly. No full internet access required.

Hmmm... Correctly me if I am wrong, but that implies an internet gateway with some level of access to the internet. If one application can find a route out that gateway, then there is always the possibility that other applications will also "escape".
