The BBC has an article about the 20th anniversary of Minitel. It was supposedly started as a way for French Telecom to save money on printing phone directories and ballooned into a predecessor of the internet and remains popular today. It would be interesting to hear what its like to use...

Why is it that when anyone makes a comment critical of zionism or the govt. of Israel, they are immediately labeled an anti-semite. I despise what Berlusconi is doing to Italy but people don't run around calling me an anti catholic. Rather than name-calling, serpico, why not contribute...

I actually live in extreme Northern California, where the selection is mediocre at best. Mostly though, I don't listen to radio, except NPR, BBC and a few Euro shoutcast stations. Radio is too caught up with mindless jockey chatter. I want a new model for radio and I think shoutcast is a...

Matt Groening grew up in Springfield Oregon. It's right next door to Eugene. He also went to The Evergreen State College, in Olympia, WA (the same Univ. that Rachel Corrie went to). Anyway, he chose the name because it is so common, it is meant to be every city USA. I think we can all...

Sounds like the conspiracy theory that good old McCarthy was so proud of. That the US was about to be taken over by communists and that it was his duty to route them out and destroy them. Did he ever find any? I know that he ruined many Americans in the process and was partly responsible...

M$ must be going for the wild west theme. Maybe they're trying to appeal to Bush, The Princeton Cowboy.

I like Ocelot. It has a nice, exotic ring to it. Tiger just doesn't cut it for me. Good one, Gia!!! M$ Cockroach! I love it.

I like the graffiti/subway concept a lot. Very cool. I like the idea of the spraypainted underground sign or maybe one that is sort of dingy looking. It is sort of bright. The links were too dark for me to read at first. Rollovers would help or maybe if each was a slightly different color...

1. There aren't any. 2. They were stolen by Iraqi's, Syrians, Al Qaeda, terrorists etc. 3. They've been dumped in rivers, buried in the desert, hidden. 4. Other? I don't mean to start a flame war, I'm just interested in what people think. So far the most likely sites have been...

Well, I think Apple is having a split personality thing going on. First off their's Jaguar and Safari. Definitely an African theme. Then there's all the iApps, sort of a hip, wired kind of thing. Now there is the uninspired Appple Music Store name. What does all the above have to do with...

The surfer guy from Hawaii.

Yep, they do list the most popular downloads and I think they even have an overall top 100 but it would be nice to see what other mac owners are buying. Personally, I bought both of Jack Johnson's albums. I'd never heard of him before the AMS. His music is also one of the most downloaded...

I think it would be cool to see a chart listing Apple's best sellers. It would, I'm sure be radically different than mainstream charts but it would still be interesting to see.

Four albums and nine singles later... Personally I'm glad that they only offer about 230.000 songs right now. If they had everything I wanted I'd be seriously broke. I have ripped a lot of my CD collection to AAC. I hadn't done it with mp3 because I didn't think the quality was as good...

The US refusal to support any UN resolution that condemns Israel for its actions against the Palestinians is legendary. And we wonder why so much of the Arab world hates us...

Here is a brief history of zionism: http://www.robincmiller.com/articles/hanna1.htm I spent about 15 minutes googling for something that wasn't in some way biased. It was impossible. The above article is at least moderate. Don't know who the author is or what their affiliation is. It...

Does your camera have a USB or Firewire port? You could try that. Dunno if it would work though. I have an Olympus digicam that uses Smart Media and have a USB reader from Microtech.com. I brought it with me when I was in Slovakia two years ago. Whenever I found an internet cafe I would...

That is very true, GB made a bloody mess of it just like they did in Iraq and a few of their other colonies. However, the Israeli government is solely responsible for its own actions and cannot blame GB or the UN for its own policies towards the Palestinians. Especially since Israel refuses to...

I feel for every single person killed in Israel, N. Ireland, the former Yugoslavia and all the other countries torn by religious strife. They all died because their governments have ceased to value human life. Nobody deserves to die at the hands of their own government. I've no sympathy...

Yep, you're right, I forgot that.
