You have "unlimited" video, which is probably limited to 5GB.

Did you know that the Greek Orthodox church has been allowed to rebuild the entire time? Did you know they are trying to broker a better deal with the port authority to get a new, bigger building? Did you know they turned down free land and $60 million because it wasn't enough? Did you know the port authority finally took the deal off the table because the church kept demanding more?

The church could have been rebuilt years ago if they were willing to keep their original location and pay for it themselves.

Most academics love Wikipedia because it provides an easy introduction to topics, and includes references to original source materials. That doesn't mean you can cite Wikipedia in a paper; just like you can't cite any other encyclopedia.

And using a computer isn't useful in the teaching aspect. When performing computations on large matrices a computer is invaluable, but when learning the concept it isn't.

Microsoft Research puts out a lot of really interesting and successful research. They aren't the people programming the OS or office applications.

And my 486 doesn't run Windows 7. As operating systems change, so do their system requirements.

Most doctors are 20 minutes late because the previous four patients were each 5 minutes late. First thing in the morning and immediately after lunch are the most "on-time" times because patients haven't screwed up the schedule yet.

On a similar note, I would like to see universities release statements saying they will not accept students who studied the curriculum.

I think the online dating sites now cater not just to those that are "too busy" for a social scene. They are filled with people who are sick of the regular social scene (e.g., bars) for meeting people. There are people from all professions, faiths, and interests on them at this point.

This new service seems like it will be less rewarding and more expensive than regular dating sites.

Wow. Trolling this took talent. Both are good causes, and I would say vaccinating a population so they can survive will do wonders for raising their standard of living. It is hard to build knowledge when you are dead.

I agree it would be worth preserving, at least for now; but who says that it was entirely independent of life on Earth? Now that would be an interesting twist.

I think this is actually an interesting idea. Computers encompass much more than just laptops/desktops that we normally thing about.

The rate at which new articles has decreased; I would hardly call this surprising. The coverage of Wikipedia is so great that the only place for new articles are more obscure concepts and greater specialization of existing ones.

There are ways of combining electronic and paper systems so that they are more reliable and more difficult to defraud then either paper or electronic alone. The problem is that no one seems to be willing to sell such a machine.
