Covad Planning For Chapter 11

Logic writes: "According to their press release, Covad Communications Group, Inc. is preparing to file for Chapter 11 protection for restructuring. One of the most important points in the release is Covad Communications Group, Inc.'s operating companies, which provide DSL services to customers, are not expected to be included in the court-supervised proceeding and will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business without any court imposed restrictions,' meaning that the operating companies which deal with service providers (such as Speakeasy, who have endorsed Covad's action) will continue to operate unfettered by the court restrictions, and end-user services should be unaffected. Hopefully." As a Speakeasy customer (at home), I sincerely hope that my connection doesn't go away.

    enough by gawd I've wasted the last minute of my life attempting to engage in "communication" in the stinking bowels of this digital psuedoverse.

    Sorry to hang on to yer scintillating comments Strom; felt a strange need to make a public display of it and connecting to your post seemed to be the surest way to make sure this sad declaration is buried and forgotten, safe from the prying eyes of the average soul.

    Yeah, I'm roight off this slashdot mate, it reminds me too much of shouted conversations in seedy bars where a horrible band is generating a howling dissonance and everyone is pretending to be alone at home, shouting through a wall.

    Half a year of putting my 2 cents on the internet the conclusion I've come to is it just makes me sad. 99 out of a hundred people don't give a damn about truth or learning or anything except pumping their little egos up, pounding their special ideological pulpet, winning rhetorical points. enough.

    the worst thing is I find myself getting sucked into responding to the jingo, the rhetoric, the baiting, the whole ignominous free for all of all thee disimpersoned egos duking it out. Lose my love and become another nasty ego monster, proving something. As if I didn't know who and what I am.

    But I ain't no kid anymore, pushing thirty I better decide to be too big for all this folderol, this gardyloo. So goodbye, cruel slashdot, Strom, we'll always have Minsk, thanks for being a hook to hang on, and congratulations for being almost as big a pariah as your congressional counterpart.

    I hope nobody sees this and if you do then do yourself a favor and ignore the hell of it, its just masturbation of the intellectual/textual variety. Maybe when I finifh my masterpiece I'll come in and be a karma whore to promote it, make nice nice with everyone, yes, open source, livertarianism, free beer, free speech, free love and free Mumia. What else? Reply if you like but I ain't talking.

    further, desponent, sayeth not.

    There is only one way to bring down MS, and its not making Linux work with MS-systems or making Linux a Superior OS, people are familiar and comfortable with Windows, and this is what maintians there monopoly. Linux is a hobby OS. You have to target MS where it hurts, and thats their developers/coders. Without them MS and there shit OS's cease to exist. Somehow, someway, we have to stop developers from getting jobs at Microsoft and working for the company. That is the only way.. no developers, no code, no company!
