Dear Leo, I love you to death, however, please let your darling daughter know Monaco is not an island off the coast of France and yes, Monte Carlo is the capitol. My daughter is the same age and we are starting to shop college's as well. I wish you the best of luck finding a school that suits her well. I was an exchange student as well and found it the best experience ever!
- Jennifer Ragde
Okay, now my computer politically correct daughter is telling me this was not the correct way to state my opinion as I should have commented on the photograph. I'm really sorry, I love to listen to your broadcasts, but I really am computer retarded so please forgive me if I have transgressed in any manner. I can't even upload photographs without her help! Really, you don't look dapper,...

Not to nitpick or anything, but Monaco is the name of the state and the capital city. Monte Carlo is just one of city's administrative areas :)

Dear Dorian, I stand corrected. I was just stunned that someone thought Monaco was an island. When I was in high school (when Dinosaurs roamed the earth, ha ha!), we had to memorize the world in geography. I guess times have changed.

Cheese and crackers! AT&T is currently offering a $10 plan. It goes up to $20, I think, after the agreement is over. Aren't they paying about $20 as it is? I had the displeasure of getting reacquainted with dial up (miss that stupid modem sound though!) last weekend. At those speeds, the internet isn't worth it.
- Yolanda
"Vint Cerf, one of the Internet's key inventors and an advocate for the idea that the government should be more active in expanding broadband, suspects that many more dial-up users would be interested in going high-speed if they had a better idea of what they're missing." Or, in other words, this entire study can be discounted because dial-up users are stupid. Just because we don't know...

I got tired of the sporadic telephone service at our farmhouse barely 16Km (10 miles) from central Bangalore, so we've been totally wireless for over a year now! The downside is that I pay about Rs. 1000 (approx. US$23) per month for my molasses-slow Tata Indicom CDMA USB modem. It averages about 10Kbps and for every MB over 1 GB monthly, I pay Rs. 2 (about 4 US cents). When the 5000 apartments under construction near our farm are ready, I guess we'll get at least 3 private fast internet providers here!
- Siddharth Deb
PS: our telephone service was sporadic because of the constant digging by the "developers" busy widening our little old farm road, thereby frequently cutting the underground phone lines. Before the bastards brought urban sprawl and 1000s of apartments into our neighbourhood, the telephone service used to be pretty reliable. At least the wireless CDMA modem never experiences outages- just slow surfing! Gmail takes like 15 seconds to load using FF3!
- Siddharth Deb
I remember the days when we used to paint caves just to make a point. Even back then -- all those tens of thousands of years ago, before language -- people were making paintings to argue that painting caves wasn't worth the cost.

anti-god movie.

liked the books. Haven't seen the film. One can see why so much controversy revolved around this film.
- Andy Lewandowski
Not a Anti-God Movie.. Let's see if you can Prove "ANYWHERE" in the movie where it is Anti-God. I hate it when folks are "UNEDUCATED" Have you seen the movie?? Just because the Nitwit professes his views in the press, He did "NOT" Bring it to the movie. I guess the "GODFATHER" was Anti-God as well as there was killing in it.
- Da-Chief
The book is better. Waaay more detail.

The movie was pretty good, but the books are better. It's more anti-religion than "anti-god," and there's good reason to be such. But you needn't agree to enjoy the story.
- Tanath
OK, net nanny off. Brian, you are a jerk.
- Michael Tefft
I haven't seen the flick, so I'm making an "UNEDUCATED" statement, but sometimes movies with an overtly anti-anything message can be distracting for those who want to just enjoy a movie.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Wow! I think I finally found someone to block! Carroll, that would be you. BTW, the book series are deliberately atheistic, as is the author, and the movies deliberately avoid the parts of the books that talk about God (or the lack thereof).. and both are great, imo.
- Phil G
The book is far, far better and more satisfying than the film, which felt chaotic and overly "busy." The entire "His Dark Materials" trilogy are really speaking out against the evils or organized religion more than they're making a targeted attack on the idea of a "god" or "gods." The movie purposefully distances itself from any kind of pointed critique of Catholicism or Christianity.
- Lon Harris
The second two books really have a heavier tone. But it is fiction. Take what you want from it.
- Andy Lewandowski
from twhirl
Ah.. so J. Phil wants to block someone for making a statement. Interesting. Self governing thought police? Lets automatically judge someone for making a statement. Whether it is based on fact is irrelevant. Carroll didn't say anything hateful, just simply pointed out something he she believes. Free country, block me to please!

It's in my netflix queue, I'll give it a fair shot. I just have a personal aversion to most message movies, and I'd be glad to hear this isn't one. Also, I am not a fan of disaster flicks.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Great comment Curtis. Some peoples idea of dialog is to shout as loud as possible and then refuse to listen to anyone who dares to disagree or take a differing view. Happens all the time in social media unfortunately.
- Michael Tefft
The books were excellent. I haven't seen the movie and I probably won't bother watching it, as it will for sure be worse than the books.
- Stelian Iancu
Sometimes people overthink these things. Atheists refuse to see Narnia movies, Christians refuse to see "His Dark Materials" based movies. Silly. Had my grandaughter tell me she couldn't watch it cause they killed Jesus in it. I saw it and thought to myself.. People over think sh_t. It was a great little fantasy movie and I loved Golden Compass.

I have yet to see a movie that was better than the book it was adapted from. Ones own imaginiation is always more powerful.
- Andy Lewandowski
from twhirl
Haven't read the books and felt the movie was pretty weak--fun, but there are MUCH better fantasy epics out there I'd rather see again. As for whether it was anti-god or not, I'd say it was pro-critical thinking. The metaphors are obvious--the leads challenge the robed fellows and their rules. Seems clearly anti-religion if not anti-god, to me. Also: I think it's a mistake to say that people who don't believe in God are nitwits. 1st, it makes you look childish & 2nd, only some of us are nitwits. :P

Parvez, could you point to a reference where Philip Pullman says it is about killing God? Seriously. I did some research well after this was 1st such a controversy and never found anything indicating he said that. Killing a weak and false god.. yes. But God as is the typically thought of one and only? Thanks.

Saw that on ITunes, but chose Fools Gold instead. I would rather have escapism than controversy when I travel. It is all about the escape for me. Speaking of Netflix, did you see that they have caved on the profiles? Good job, wonder what the pressure was on them to do that?
- Becca
Michael It is Uneducated.. Sorry but the "TRUTH" hurts. Understand saying someone is "UNEDUCATED" is just pointing out that the person is making a un-educated opinion. This is like me holding a Blue piece of paper in a can, and covering it and asking you what color it is. Your then telling everyone how terrible the "YELLOW" piece of paper is. And just so you know, I am a Christian. My point is don't slam something without "EDUCATING" yourself prior to putting out a opinion.
- Da-Chief
LOL Curtis. I am blocking her for personal reasons. And, freedom of speech being what it is, I can definitely state that I am doing it, even if is in bad taste. That said, I will block you as you invited me to.
- Phil G
I haven't read any of His Dark Materials, but even I could tell how painfully stripped down the movie was. Scenes just popped up and disappeared to keep the plot punching its clock, motivations had to be quickly spelled out in expository dialogue ... a mess, IMO. But a pretty mess.
- Roger Benningfield
Heh, most people don't even seem to notice any anti- anything themes, and just enjoy the movie (or not as the case may be). If it weren't for this "controversy" most people wouldn't have noticed. My youngest cousin saw the movie without any inkling of this controversy and loved it.

I'd like to see more of my twitter friends using a "lifestream" commenting system like FF, or see Twitter turn reliable and then add a better threading system for replies.. but until someone gets their act together I am happy using something that has the capability to do very similar things.

- Melissa Goetsch
FF definitely has some nice advantages over Twitter (or probably more over Jaiku for that matter) which people with tons of scattered content can benefit from. On the other hand there are still tons of features I'd love to see added here (esp. on an API level). In the meantime, FF just has to hit the web-mainstream ;-)
- Horst Gutmann
I would like FF a lot more if it pulled in my friends from other services. As of right now, all it really seems to do is aggregate my lifestream. I'm too lazy to manually add each rss feed to FF, and there's no way my friends are going to sign up for FF, after it was a giant PITA to get them to sign up for twitter.

@Brian Carter was that person me ;) ? I think this weekend showed how friend feed can fill the void of being connected and following the thoughts of those who we have grown to trust online. Since then, I have noticed that the traffic on twitter (at least for me) has gone down significantly by the people I was following and didn't really know in person or know well. My inner circle are still using twitter and the mobile factor is still huge. The real question is can I still be active on FF while at work.
- Andrea Baker
Reasons desktop app for friendfeed is not as usable as webpage: 1. usually quicker to navigate high volume on web page. 2. desktop app will surely be chasing new functionality (i.e. retwitter comment feature on FF web but not in twhirl).
