Description: This is an illustration of steamship "California" at sea (1848 1894). Only a few passengers were on board when the ship left New York on October 6, 1848. By the time the ship reached its stop on the Panama's Pacific coast, word had spread of the great new find of gold in California. Over 700 people tried to get passage on the ship in that harbor. The Pacific Mail agent managed to cram 365 people aboard the ship before it set sail for California. The ship and passengers reached San Francisco on February 28, 1949, where all but one member of the crew deserted the ship for the goldfields. The ship was lost in a wreck off the Peruvian coast in 1894.
This venture is doomed to fail! WMV? Silverlight? Are you kidding? Isn't it about time for Netflix to grow up?
NBC was paid by Microsoft to use this technology for the '08 Olympics - NBC abandoned the technology as soon as Olympics were over. MLB used Silverlight for the same reason - Microsoft subsidized the project. Did you read the news last week? MLB is abandoning Silverlight for 2009 season in favor of Flash.
Netflix is marrying itself to yet another also-ran technology from Microsoft. This should be a fun train wreck to watch!
C'est le film qu'on attend tous sur Netflix : "Le Silverlight infernal". Si ça pouvait nous emporter un Icaza au passage, ce ne serait pas plus mal.

With more and more people in offices now a days, coffee inside these offices has become, sadly, almost mandatory. A cup of coffee seems to stimulate your senses, but did you know that the regular in-take of caffeine can leave you wired and a complete wreck. Why? It’s because coffee (with caffeine) will stimulate the central nervous system of your body and will increase the stress hormones in your blood.
Corey Haim is a walking train wreck and completely clueless.

the Fantome was loaded with loot from the White House, which British troops burned in August 1814. The ship was heading home to Halifax with a convoy when it lost its way in a vicious storm. No survivors With untold treasures, Fantome smashed into shoals and sank off Prospect on Nov. 24, 1814. The wreck was left undisturbed for political reasons. The event coincided with the end of the war, and the two nations wanted to move on. “Obviously, this was a very touchy subject at the time, so no one really said any more about it,” Chisholm said.
