Compiling Linux and tweaking just to get 64-bit? Nonsense. Ubuntu and many other distros supply 64-bit versions alongside their 32-bit counterparts.

You already pay a tax to maintain the information superhighway. It's called your monthly cable or DSL bill. Neither individual states nor the federal government actually have any cost incurred in maintaining any part of the internet - it's all done by private companies which are paid for their efforts. You pay your ISP, they pay their ISP, and so on.

When did eyes start processing sound as well as light?!? Or is this some sort of next-generation eye that will work with these glasses we won't need for the 3D laptops which don't yet exist?

As was pointed out in the article, this isn't Circuit City. This is a completely separate company which has bought the brand name. For all intents and purposes, this is a completely different company with a Circuit City sticker slapped on top.

In any case, attractiveness isn't just determined by physical characteristics. For me, at least, other things play into it like personality, intellect, sense of humour, and so on.
McDonalds Free Wi-Fi Users Soak Up Seating 500
bfire writes "McDonalds has earmarked potential changes to seating plans in some restaurants to prevent free Wi-Fi users from monopolizing seating, particularly in peak periods. The availability of Wi-Fi means people are now spending 35 minutes in McDonalds — rather than the average ten minutes that patrons used to spend eating there. But it appears not everyone is happy with the increased 'stickiness' of customers, with some licensees in Australia reporting that Wi-Fi users aren't turning over seats fast enough. The restaurant chain is considering options including space demarcation to deal with the problem."

Facebook already does offer encryption - https://www.facebook.com/. Sure, not everything works 100% perfectly, and it sometimes reverts to plain http, but with the use of enforced https through NoScript in Firefox, 98% of the stuff on Facebook can be made to work reliably over HTTPS.
