Not entirely on topic but people need to learn to live without their cell phones. A few people I know, anywhere they go, anything they're doing, their phone is ringing. usually several times. And they always have to answer it. That pisses me off its really rude when your already doing something and the other person needs to be in constant contact with everyone who isn't there. I often wonder why they don't just stay home then they can use Facebook,myspace,email and msn aswell.
That's why I prefer email over IM but some people don't check their mail.
Plus with IM if the network goes down your offline with email the Internet has to go down for it to become unoperational so I'd consider email to be more redundant.
as for IM my favorite is Skype (or IRC for public chatting) but the only one I use is MSN because thats just what the people I know are using.
Users should be accountable for THEIR systems as well. Who are they to say my system isn't secure? It's my choice not to use anti-virus software who are they to question my security.
But I actually agree with you users do need to be held accountable. Ignorance shoulden't be an excuse espesially when it affects others e.g spam bots Zombie machines cost me money because I'm on the end of spam and DDoS attacks so it's only fair that the users who's incompitence leads to these things should be held accountable the same way I am if I hit another vehicle on the road.
If they had any real ballz they would have permanently dis-barred her, especially given her past abuses.... oh wait the law really doesn't apply to those who are supposed to enforce it... Enforce or Abuse?
The problem with ISPs is you are very limited in choice you can only use those that are in your area and if they all jump on the bandwagon your somewhat screwed.
At least an email provider doesn't have to be in the same country.

What on earth do you need 7Gigs for?!
Unless your going to email a movie!
I agree 10meg is living in the stone age but 7gigs just seems overkill.

That makes no sense.
If people don't want to use the bandwidth they won't.
If they want to use the bandwidth they'll use it.
I fail to see any purpose to actually having an option and why would someone pay for more than they are going to use?
I hate the expectation that I'm always at my keyboard while signed in.

God forbid the day MySpace via mobile becomes a standard via mobile! It'll be a dark day.

Something to do with the War on Freedom, probably. Fixed that for you.
I forgot to mention your analogies don't work here.
Better luck next time!
They are not thieves!!!!
You are voluntarily relinquishing ownership of your domain they have every right to buy it and sell it if they wish.
HOW is it theft? Just answer me that.
I bet your the same type of person who harasses people with legal letters to try and get your own way.
Your clearly a newbie to all this otherwise you'd understand how the system works.

Electronic voting shouldn't be allowed! What's wrong with pen and paper?
~Dan
Why would the government do away with the ability to manipulate votes?
The land of the free where you can be sued if you say anything someone dosen't like.

Why? the whole point of a blog is to just post.
I dosen't matter if the blog has any value it is just a writing pad

I slaughter people in GTA but the risk of jail time stops me in everyday life.

It's quite stressful not knowing when the update will come then when it does it's over so fast.

Who cares about first offense!!
What if it's my first offense filesharing copyrighted content?
Somehow I doubt I'll be given a such lenient sentence for the lesser crime.
But in America no one cares about the people
only the corporations that run the country.

"Troll" seems to be a very popular mod atm
If it was a private road the google van would not have been able to drive onto it.
You cant just connect your own road to the public network and expect people to stay off it while its wide open.
Am I going to be sued by turning around in someones drive way?
Should they not seek to prosecute Google for trespassing then?
