Re:computer shopper USED to be...
...is so we can sound like old-timers to the kiddies.
[Me] In myyyy dayyyy...we didn't have no fancy http://pricewatch.com/!
[Kid] [Rolls eyes, thinking:] Pricewatch? Geez, get with the times, grandpa...try http://pricegrabber.com/...
[Me] We had to go to an actual store, where we paid money for a big huge thick heavy book, printed on actual paper! Aaaaand we had to search (and I don't mean with no fancy Google!) through the pages and pages of ads!
[Kid] Uh...really?
[Me] Hell yeah! And, half the time, instead of a price, the ads would say "Call", meaning you had to use the telephone to get the actual price!
[Kid] Man. That sucks.
[Me] [Wistfully] No, actually...it was great. All I did was party and get laid. Er, I mean, play games and code. I had my whole life ahead of me.
Ok, now I'm depressed. -
LOL Christopher Reeve. DEAD.Christopher Reeve. DEAD.
Westchester County, New York -Once Superman turned gimp and now rotting corpse Christopher Reeve died this afternoon at age 52 after bleeding out from being assraped. Reeve, unable to defend himself from 20 gay, well-hung niggers, had apparently taken the semen from all 20 men. The Reeve estate had recently hired Tyreese, a gay nigger chambermaid, who apparently let his friends in to the mansion.
He opened the door and led 20 large black men into the bedroom. "Chris, meet the Gay Nigger Association of America. GNAA, meet Chris. I'm sure you all will get along fine." With that Tyreese slammed the door closed and walked away laughing.
The men approached Reeve, backing him into a corner. The apparent leader stepped forward. "No matter what I'm gonna fuck that purdy lil' ass of yours. Now I can fuck it dry or you can lube it up for me." Chris knew he had no choice. He kneeled in front of the leader, who began to slap his face with his 10 black inches. Puss from syphilictic sores quickly covered Chris's cheeks. When the leader was sufficiently aroused he placed his throbbing cock up to Chris's lips. As soon as Chris opened his mouth the leader violently shoved his manhood to the back of Chris's throat and exclaimed "Swallow my shit you cracker bitch!" Chris gagged as he was violently face fucked.
Just when he was about to pass out the leader pulled out, turned him around and shoved his cock into Chris's ass. Chris began to scream in agony but his cries were quickly muffled by one of the other gang member's cocks. They rode him like that for the better part of an hour. When one man finished another quickly took his place. Just as Chris was getting used to the throbbing pain in his anus the men stopped. One man lay down on the floor and Chris was told to get on top of him and take his dick inside him. Exhausted and humiliated, Chris had no will left to fight. As soon as he inserted the penis another man came up behind him and began to force his cock into Chris's already filled anus. Again his screams of agony were muffled, this time by a smelly black anus.
For another hour he was violated in this way. When the men were finished with him he still couldn't walk and his mouth was filled with dingleberries, kryptonite and ass hairs. Before they all left the leader had some parting words for Chris: "Thanks for that sweet piece of ass, punk. We'll see you again tomorrow. Oh by the way, we all have AIDS."
Christopher Reeve, you always looked like a homo. First you failed acting then failed horseback riding then failed walking and now you failed life.

Re:"Just works" isn't as easy as it sounds
2. POTS costs a lot because the companies are gouging. VoIP has one use and one use alone - it will force the POTS companies to reduce their prices. Once they do, VoIP is dead (except insofar as it is already used internally by POTS).
When I can get a Verizon line which lets me:
* call all of Eastern PA and Western NJ as much as I want
* gives me 200 minutes of LD per month
* allows me to filter calls based on caller ID info
* prompts anonymous callers for their telephone number
* allows me to assign custom caller ID names for incoming numbers
* provides free call hunting
for $15.44 a month - then you have an argument. Right now, I can't even get a local-only telephone line (covering just my township) for that amount.
2. POTS also costs more because there are legal requirements on POTS that VoIP (currently) doesn't have to fulfill - for instance, the provision of emergency services. If VoIP had to provide that, you'd see your costs skyrocket.
I already pay for emergency services on my cell phone - and, in an emergency, I just use it. Why should I have to pay for it twice? Frankly, if I were a VOIP company, I would fight any such governmental requirement on this fact alone (eg, "95% of our customers have cell phones and would prefer to use them in an emergency instead of paying $3 more per month").
3. As an engineer, I expect everything to just work, and if it doesn't, I see bad engineering. You wouldn't accept a car that stopped every 50 miles. Why would you accept a phone service that crashed out every week? There is no reason for people to accept bad engineering.
That's pretty funny. People accept bad engineering every day. From computers, to electronics, to housewares, people make the choice to pay less for a lower quality product. Cripes, man, you don't have to look much further than most PCs to see a contra-indicator to your statement - do you honestly think the Windows product you see today would be anything like the Windows in a world where people don't accept "bad engineering".
Personally, I'm willing to "put up with" 99.9% uptime instead of 99.999% on my phones to save $600 a year.
And in fact, if VoIP is ever to truly compete with POTS - not just for service, but on equal ground with the requirement to provide 911 - they are going to have to make these systems properly robust.
No, they just need to make a product that is "close enough" to POTS, not a 100% replacement. Furthermore, the lower they can keep their prices relative to POTS, the more they can stray from 100%.
I fear an engineer who doesn't think this way.
I fear the engineer who does think this way because they are probably out of a job and looking to cause a ruckus. Except for a miniscule minority, price is a major factor in almost every purchase. The engineer that can't see the balance between "good enough" and "cost" should find another profession. -

Re:Snow Crash Movie???There's no way that Hollywood could do Snow Crash as a feature film. It was hard enough for Peter Jackson to get New Line to allow Lord of the Rings to be three separate (and very long) films. Should a major studio get a bead on Snow Crash, they'll try to turn it into a single 90-minute feature that leaves out all the really intersting stuff in favor of the flashy effects-intensive material.
For example, we could expect a lot of footage of Hiro jetting through the metaverse on his (BMW) bike, Hiro attacking The Raft, Hiro hanging out in the Black Sun, and YT talking with Hiro on her Verizon cell phone while cruising through traffic on her skateboard ("Hiro! Can you hear me now?"). Gone will be the history of glossalia, the story of Enki, and all the details that make the Snow Crash virus plausible. Finally, they'll want to get Keanu Reeves to play Hiro Protaganist, Hilary Duff to play YT, The Rock to play Raven and Vitaly Chernobyl will be replaced with Limp Biskit.
Sample dialogue from the first planning meeting:
"Can we change High-row? We see him as more of an Ashton Kutcher type named 'John Everyman'"
"We love the robot dog thing. Let's put him in Act One and have him follow YT around wherever she goes."
"Hiro's office is a cool concept. He'll have an Imac on his desk and one of those lightning-globe things and a really cool interface for AOL."
"Does The Black Sun have to be a bar? What about a Starbucks?"A far better plan would be to sell it to HBO or the Sci-Fi network and make it a 12-part mini series like Band of Brothers, or Taken.

Re:Flame
Now hear the spoiled-child rhetoric! Perhaps it is the yankees who are overrated? Perhaps it is the yankees' lifestyle that's over-inflated? Why do the jobs go out of the US with a great sucking sound??? In the turd-world (so said because life there is nothing but shit, thanks to the yankees sucking-out all the wealth of the world), workers do not have four cars in the driveway and a swimming pool in their backyards.While India's satellite launches and outsourcing news are already covered in slashdot umpteen times, sometimes her sensible achievements should be covered too."
Her sensible acheivements should be covered too? Can we mark the article blurb as flamebait? Lets keep the bias out of the story. Please.In most of the civilized world (this is spelled E.U.R.O.P.E.), there is public transit to take the people to their jobs without FORCING them to use an expensive, gas-guzzling heap of junk on wheels which is, thanks to the inherent paranoïa that is so typical of the shitheap-puritan yankee mindset, has to be inflated beyond any semblance of reasonableness for it's owner to retain some kind of status amongst it's hare-brained sheepish co-herders.
After a while of destroying the countryside with strip-malls, the business owners are getting tired of subsidizing the heavy car usage that is so typical of the earth-trashing yankees' lifestyle and are starting to rebel. By moving the work where the workforce do not need to have a subsidized conveyance.
The great sucking sound is nothing but the sound itself of the yankees' suckitude, it's stupid dependence on foreign oil that has done so much in the last few years to alienate most of the earth's population, all thanks to the most miserable failure of all time in yankee politics.
So, mister Anonymous Coward, your sheepish flame, shot from behind your huge cowardice (see how I am NOT afraid of you unwashed barbarians by signing my name), you can roll it, and shove it up your anus so it can give you your long-overdue orgasm thar your sheepish moronic puritanism has prevented you from enjoying all that time.

Re:control
If then ban murder then they will ban assault and then they will ban name calling and then they will ban looking bad at people and then they will ban thinking bad thoughts
Sounds similar to the premise for the movie Equilibrium, where all emotions were forbidden.
Suicide is "consenting" but it is a decision made when your deck isn't full.
I disagree. A "do not recussitate" decision is quite rational, and legally enforcable. Does this also count as suicide?
How about being in a porn video? How can you ensure that the decision is informed and isn't made under duress?
There hasn't exactly been flood of ex-porn stars screaming duress. Of course there's the story of Tracy Lords who claimed she was kept drugged the entire time during her three year career as porn star. Yes she was underage when she started, but kept drugged for three years ... -

Reminds me of a kind of awful movie I saw
This reminds me of a kind of awful movie I saw late at night in a hotel room. The movie, which I think was called X Change, had that blond-haired Baldwin brother in it, and he had this special card that he had to keep in a little pouch or else this tiny little robot airplane would find him and blow him up. He needed the card for ID purposes, so he couldn't ditch it, but every moment he had it out the people who were after him would get one step closer. So the little black pouch was a tinfoil hat for his ID card. As far as RFID driver licenses, I think it's an awful idea. It doesn't even sound good on paper to me, and in reality I think it's going to be a disaster. The fact is that the government people aren't as up on the technology as the criminals are who are waiting in the wings to exploit it, as is often the case, and once people start suffering as a result, all RFID technology will be seen by the general public as questionable, and by the religious nuts as a sign of the End Times.

Re: Nothing to see here
One site claims he was seen consulting a cheat sheet, but that also doesn't make sense if he was wired.
those 'cheat sheets' are as much as a prop as they are for finding facts. One major difference between speaches and debates, is that with a speach you don't have to stand around while someone else rips your viewpoint. While you don't want to look like your not at all paying attention, you don't want to show much reaction at all. Having something else to focus on can be important. I suppose that he could stand there and play with his watch, or check his tie, but shuffling note cards is a classic. Many people will see this action as an indication that he is gathering his thoughts. I wouldn't be half suprised if one of the 'sugestions' made by his (I'm going all out and saying) handler is 'look down and shuffle your note cards now'.As far as Bush's posture goes, well, he seems to do that a lot. Can't fault him for it, I tend to hunch myself. I don't think that I've seen lots of pictures of Bush's back, so it's hard to tell if it's something new, but there is definately something on his back in the debate photo. Perhaps it's a Deadlock syle device attaching him to Karl Rove.

To say that many of the people working on these are paranoid is an understatement, mailing-lists associated with these are always laced with some of the wildest conspiracy warnings and alarmism.

This documentary shows the actual video of Bush administration officials justifying the war in Iraq. The overall effect is powerful.
Quotes:
-
"... it is a federal felony, it's a crime, to mislead and distort information and present it to the Congress." -- 23:14 minutes into the movie.
-
"... the administration has not been honest..."
-
"... very disturbing
... intervention by people particularly from Vice President Cheney's office and Vice President Cheney himself ... to produce precisely the language which would allow them ... to support the decision to go into Iraq." -- Dr. David C. MacMichael, former CIA analyst. Page 7 of the transcript, 7:32 minutes in the movie. -
"It is somewhat puzzling, I think, that you can have a hundred percent certainty about the weapons of mass destruction's existence, and zero certainty about where they are." -- Hans Blix, chief weapons inspector, referring to the administration's statements, at 34:44 minutes into the movie.
This work is available several in several forms, some of which are free:

You can buy the DVD online for $9.95 from Amazon or Barnes & Noble or from CafeShops.com, at a Cafe Shops online store that is inappropriately titled Disinformation. The store originally sold items connected with a humorous TV show called Disinformation.

Make your own copies: Kate McArdle, one of the producers, told me that they encourage people to make copies of the DVD and give them to friends (but not sell them, of course). Also, they encourage people to play the movie for groups of people, without extra payment.
