Yes. Precisely. You have a long lost aunt in the United States. The message you posted was selfishly, solely an expression of your relief that you, European #4546727, do not have to worry about wiretaps because you, European #4546727, are not subject to the laws of the United States.
This doesn't seem to be going very well. Is it me, or does any sort of combined Linux effort seem doomed to die on the rocks of licensing issues? When you have gangs of people obsessed with ephemeral issues, it's easy to get stuck on them forever.
You have the time to post a lame reply but not to actually read the story? If our citizens weren't so lame, the US might fare better when compared to the school systems of such advanced places as Cameroon and Senegal. Damn.
I don't avoid it. I have a phone and make frequent use of it. But I'd never buy a phone that doesn't vibrate, and I only use the ringer on mine when I'm asleep. I don't care if they ring, I just don't want them to ring during a romantic dinner at a restaurant, at the movies, or other places like that. Surely that isn't out of line with the opinions of others, right?
They're intrusive. They're annoying, and they're distracting. I feel the same way about land lines, but at least they are isolated to the house. No movie theater or playhouse is going to install a land line in the auditorium, so there's little to worry about on that front. It's a lot more likely that some dumbass fifteen year old is going to bring one into the movie that I'm enjoying (like $15 later) and talk to his homies about the bitch he's feeling up in front of me. I, personally, don't want to see that unless it's part of the film.
That's persuasive, but what if I said, "I am a Danish," as opposed to "I am Danish." It seems like that situation. Not a major issue in either direction; just something humorous.
I suspect when they control the hardware (theoretically) and find that the evil pirate thieves still copy their media, they'll declare computers as a technology insecure and unsuitable for people.
I really (really!) like Mail.app on Mac OS X. It's one of the reasons I kept my NeXTs for so long. It caches all of the messages locally, so I don't have to worry about connectivity. If I want to use the pleasant text-based options, they're still available.
Oh, I forgot about my PowerBook. Conveniently, all FireWire Apple products can go into 'hard drive mode' and act like a dumb hard drive. To sync, I connect the PowerBook as a hard drive and use a cool Mac OS X syncing program (who's name I forget right now) to sync up the files. rsync and tar don't work because they slaughter the resource forks of HFS files. We're moving away from that problem, but it still exists.
Yep. Unified access to e-mail via IMAP is definitely the linchpin of a good arrangement.
I've been trying to deal with the same problems as you for several years. I have a Mac running Mac OS X, Windows PC, Linux server, and a NeXT around my desk. I have two large hard drives. One is in the Mac and that holds my home directory, and the Linux machine has all my MP3s. My home is exported via NFS and is mounted on the Linux box and on the NeXT so I always have live access to my files. The Windows box only does my TV program and Kazaa, so I'm content to simply have it use FTP to copy files back and forth (I haven't found a decent Windows NFS program.)
It all gets the job done, and it all works smoothly. Printing is done by IP printing to my big 'ol LaserJet. All the mail is kept either on my server at school, or on the cyrus server on the Linux box. It's a delight =)
I'd rather people say tings like "I see no need..." than "polish my ARSONAL OF FREEDOM." Opera never accidentally shot a loved one. Maybe it bored a loved one to death, but that's a lot less dangerous.
I see no need to simper. I don't freak out at the sound of helicopters over my home. I don't fear and mistrust and loathe as my natural reaction to things that I don't control. I'm comfortable with the avenues available to me. I don't feel the need to be a complete asshole and spout untenable "my dick is bigger than the government's" "good cops are dead cops" crap whenever someone tells me that I can't keep my rusty pickup on blocks in the street.
I'm a criminal because I parked in a no parking zone today when I picked up my friend. Crime! I did it in direct violation of the law. I knew I was breaking the law. I'll probably do it again within a week. Criminals! Crime!

Crikey, 18,000 people is a lot. I can't conceive of being one of that many people working on a line of hard drives. Big Blue is big, indeed.

You've clearly never seen a vacuum tube device in operation.
New versions of the Microsoft 'solutions' get them within weeks.

I hear he brushes his teeth when he gets up, too. Don't tell anyone, though. Don't want juicy stuff like that getting out.

Didn't the record companies say the same thing about audio tape?
They really would be happy if nobody had computers at all, wouldn't they?

Check out the plumbing. It's like an 1890s flashback.
In fact, that's one of my favorite thing about visiting the relatives. Their plumbing is a constant adventure.
Hungry?
The New York Times really panned the thing. They said it was slow and ungainly.
I'll stick with my Samsung I300. Fast, Palm OS, my current cell service. Good machine, altogether.

Yea, that seemed funky, but it later came out that the neighbor decked two cops in addition to yelling at them.
I'm not saying that cops are to be obeyed at all times and snivelled to. But I maintain that shooting them resolves none of the issues.
