But..but...that wouldn't require you to have the latest version of OS X (since XCode 4 is now distributed through the AppStore and dropped support for the 10.5 API), would leave you with over 4GB more of hard drive space (what's the point in having all that space if you're not going to use it?), and not require you to re-download the full installer every time there was a point upgrade!

Why would you ever want THAT?

Well of course not, 99% of Americans already agree that the world IS flat!

I'm using Chrome/Ubuntu 10.10 on an ASUS netvertible which uses one of the older low-powered Atom chips clocked at 1.33GHz, and while Slashdot definitely isn't the snappiest website, it loads decently quickly and scrolls smoothly for me. I don't understand where this unattainably high standard for the Slashdot JS came from. Much worse are Disqus powered websites! Of course nothing comes close to the mess of JS that is Facebook...

According to this, they are in fact shutting down.

But here's to hoping it relaunches with an ARM processor running Chrome OS! This seems like the perfect application for it, really.

Both Hulu and Facebook allow you to thumbs up and thumbs down ads. I know Facebook opens a little AJAX pop up asking for some comments when you thumb down, but I've never actually done it on Hulu to know if it's more than a binary entry. On a related note of better, more watchable ads, Hulu should really increase the variety of ads shown to users. I can't even begin to describe my hatred for the HP TouchSmart PC or Carmax as a result of extensive Hulu watching.

While I agree with your point, I don't agree with this comment. Hulu to me is significantly more convenient than watching the shows on TV. There is a significant amount of overhead involved with a DVR (the ones from the cable manufacturers are worse than not having one, PC ones require a constantly running power-hungry computer, etc.)

Hulu lets me watch the shows on my schedule, and while I think the network's availability restrictions are dated and costing them business, I would much rather watch four 30 second commercials than fool with everything else. Now, if Hulu increases ads beyond what they currently are, I can't say I'd stick with the service.

Microsoft bought www.farecast.com a while ago, so I imagine they're just integrating Farecast into Live/Bing.

...it was a glitchy hack?

Cellphone specifications are usually very closed. However, since HTC makes the T-Mobile G1, and its internals are very similar to HTC's other smartphones, it has been ported to some of them, although it is still a work in progress.

Yeah, but those papers aren't actually clever.

Just curious, do you have a link to some sort of source for this (the photography laws in Texas)?
