For once I actually like the headline. Guess I'm a sucker for a decent pun.

its interesting/scary? that reddit and 4chan have become the de facto sites for information gathering/organization/action

It says they placed a network wide ban on them, I wonder how tight their security is. Can it be bypassed with a proxy or VPN? It seems the real issue is "...links to malicious sites in the hope a marine on R&R ... might click on them", they would be better served by locking down the systems that are accessing the Web, having an IDS and educating the soldiers on cyber risks.

I'm tired of articles that disprove their own titles

"Clearly take-up among under 16-year-olds is very high … so we cannot say for certain whether this is people in a certain age group who are not setting up social networking profiles or whether it's a population shift which is reflecting people getting older and having a social networking profile that they set up two years ago," he said. "The main point is the profile of social networking users is getting older."

All schools promise job placement assistance and in general it's very poor. The real issue is they can't put you in a job that doesn't exist.

It sounds like the FBI "acted stupidly" but the guy was no saint. In this thread he gives customer service that actually makes AT&T look good:

The difference with Student Loans is you can't just avoid paying them. With most debt you can discharge it through a bankruptcy but since 1998 you can no longer discharge student loans unless it would be an "undue hardship". After you default they will simply attach your wages for up to 25% of you after tax salary.

The link to the free cards doesn't even work now.

Since I stream most of my media I'm going to buy the 80GB as soon as they release it. Intel had worked through most of the problems with SSDs with the X-25 and with the price drop and improved performance this is a no brainer if you can afford it.

Not sure if anyone is reading this but I said I'd report back so I am:

Google Voice installs easily

It integrates with voice dialing

It does send SMS but you need to use the Google Voice App instead of the standard Messaging App to send SMS

I got an error when I was on WiFi that prevented the dialer from working but I think that was due to a WiFi issue

Once I turned WiFi off it worked

If you look at incoming SMS in the standard Messaging App they all show as coming from a 406 number

But it does have the name of the person next to the number and they look better in the Google Voice App

Looks like the Sony TT line has an 8bit display:

It makes the calls using the cellular voice network but it uses the data connection for text messages. At least it did in before I'll check it out first thing tomorrow and report back.

I've got the G1 and I don't like the 'bend'. HTC should have made the scroll ball flush with the case if that's the reason behind it.

The reason I use HDMI is that it's a single cable that handles video and audio. I can plug in my notebook with a fairly thin cable and use my LCD TV as a second display. I've never had any issues with the onscreen menus but I don't think I'm outputting HDCP from my notebook.

this is my solution, comments?

He isn't at the top of his industry but he seems to be growing:

craiglist is the first place I go to buy and sell used stuff. I do search eBay to get an idea on the price to set when I want to sell something but I don't like all the effort it takes to auction an item.

you are educated stupid

It's not about subsidizing the netbook alone. It's about subsidizing the mobile broadband connection as well. The problem is there doesn't exist a national eat all you can mobile broadband offer. Imagine if Google could wrangle one of the big 3g providers to give you a netbook plus all you can eat mobile broadband for $50/month. And they didn't restrict you from using the device as a WiFi access point so you could share the connection with your other devices. I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat.
