If dropping Wikileaks ends up disrupting their sales, then maybe they'll think twice before dropping a customer that the State Department dislikes. The DDoS attacks are giving them a business reason NOT to drop Wikileaks.

Please stay out of the self-check line.

Yes, but I don't think it's likely that we're going to build fusion reactors to supply floating balloons for children's birthday parties.

Get a Broadcom Crystal HD, pop it in to replace your Airport card. With that card in my Apple TV running XBMC I can play any 720p content, and even some 1080p content.

Running on the cheapest hardware possible and engineering the software to gracefully deal with hardware failure is exactly how Google runs their datacenters, as well. As long as you've got the talent to pull it off, it's much more cost effective than buying a prefab solution.

This is the lamest April Fools' I've seen all day.

148th Ave is a nightmare from like 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. every weekday. I try to avoid going anywhere near it during those times, which means I don't do any shopping at Fred Meyer or the stores around it at those times, which means I'm just chilling at home not stimulating my local economy.

I don't care much for Microsoft products, but I think they've been good citizens in this respect so far.
