Online Population now Half Billion

mattvd writes "According to CNN, the number of people with Web access at home by the end of 2001 was 498 million." Not surprisingly, Asia is growing the fastest. It's amazing that in only 10 years or so, the net has exploded so far, so fast, and now touches 10% of the earths population.

    Just as we strained the environment during the Industrial Revolution, so too does our Information Revolution strain the environment.

    Let's kill off the populations of users so as to keep our environment in balance. Good bye, AOL lusers.

    That's because online content is unsafe and insecure. With passage of laws similiar to the DMCA and SSSCA around the world, people will feel more secure in putting their information online.

    Supporting these laws is the only way we can ensure that information now being withheld will become available.

    The world will be a better place when people feel safe to share their information. Power to the people!

    This has nothing to do with Linux, you fucktard. Why do you need to go preaching your religion on other people and forcing it down their throats. Linux is about CHOICE. Why not let people CHOOSE?
