At least we can count on both the Republicans and Democrats to stop their partisan bickering for a moment, and reach across the isle in solidarity to screw the American public over.
The big pros of a command line: -Very low resource usage -Automation via scripts
I thought the whole point of a command line was that you didn't have to look at it while it was doing its automated thing. If you need interactivity, the GUI can handle that. It seems to me like this new interface will suck up too many resources doing something that admins won't be staring at.
Packet radio does this, though not usually with IP. If you're willing to transmit it slowly enough (typically 1200 bits/s with the AX.25 data layer) and the FCC allows it (applicable to the United States), sure, but if you can't hear CW because of noise, you won't be able to digitize anything.
Which is why we should ban sunlight within a school zone, right? Turns out, different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum have different effects, and are classified as such (Thermal, ionizing, etc). Saying radiation is dangerous without first analyzing power levels and the band of radiation emitted is knee-jerk and anti-science. We've had to deal with a nuclear fusion reactor above our heads for the whole of human existence, and it didn't kill us yet.
Knowing the greedy telecom companies, they'll try and sucker us all into ISP-level NAT first. After all, NAT works fine if home users are good consumers, passively web-surfing and connecting to "content providers" for any server needs.
"Ordinary" neutrons would annihilate anti-protons if they got sufficiently close, i.e., to form a nucleus. On a semi-related note, I remember reading that charge-reversal isn't the only property of antimatter; it can also be thought of like quantum spin-reversal or time-reversal (ordinary matter going backwards in time). Weird stuff.
Can you? 213.251.145.96 is taking too long to respond on my end. (Qwest) The fact that no publicly accessible DNS server resolves it further weakens your case.
Either that or the U.S. is just better at keeping secrets... When powerful entities get mad at you (usually if they're embarrassed about something you've exposed) and the gloves come off, it really doesn't matter what country you live in. Your life is going to hell. Anything less and the constituents will think their representatives are "soft on crime".
I haven't run any exact tests, but I've gotten a TI-83+ running on solar panels, in full sunlight, rated at 6V, 100 mA (600 mW). I also have an Eee PC 701 that consumes roughly 26 watts of power when it runs directly off the wall charger. I'm not sure how efficient today's netbooks are, but that's a big difference.

Not really. If those public goods are frivolous (and they frequently are), then it is my duty as a citizen to bleed them dry without compensation and cripple this harm to the freedom of my fellow citizens.
Um...excuse me, but you just defended being a parasite, in no uncertain terms. The congressman from Wisconsin enjoys your company.
I have a challenge for you. You wish to be a liberal. Then find a way to implement your schemes without imposing on the freedom of the individual.
If I may interject with the left-wing side of the argument... We're starting with different axioms here. "Freedom of the individual" does not take precedence over the community. In fact, with corporatism running rampant in the U.S., it's clear that unchecked "individual freedoms" do more harm than good to society. There are rights guaranteed to the individual (as outlined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), but every man is not an island, and individuals (e.g. capitalists) who take services from society (education, infrastructure, police, etc.) need to give back in proportion.
Isn't that exactly the purpose of government, though? Government policy is applied sociology; as constituents in a democracy, we have to make sure our government is accountable to us.
Anarchy works fine and all, until you have to solve difficult social issues...
Humans: -Immigration takes months to process -Subject to death: this implies basic needs like food, water, and safety -Can be ruined by a lawsuit (not enough money to fight it, will have to settle, go to prison, etc.)
[Large] Corporations: -Ability to transfer wealth in milliseconds across the globe -Immortality: The same executives that crash a company into the ground are paid handsomely for it and start another one -Enough money to fight court battles indefinitely, above the law
It's class warfare. Protectionism is needed as long as these vast inequalities between corporations and people exist. Let me know when the United States starts invoking the corporate death penalty and revokes corporate charters from lawbreaking executives.

But it's worth a shot. ;)
we have to adhere to treaties before we adhere to the constitution, that's been pretty well accepted in terms of SCOTUS rulings.
That's really scary if it's true, mainly because the U.S. can sign a treaty with only the President and a simple majority of the Senate.

You mean like giving trillions to failed banks during the first month in office
I'm fairly certain the Federal Reserve did that, which neither Congress nor the executive have control over.
Will someone PLEASE think of the children????
It's gotten so bad by this point that children are emitters of infrared radiation.
Radiation is Radiation

I love the trolling, keep it up. ;)
But you didn't mention Apple or Steve Jobs nearly as much as you should have.

Now ISPs and core networks have another excuse not to transition to IPv6. It will destroy this "market". 2^32 addresses is now a feature, not a bug.

AFAIK he was a communist. They don't believe in heaven.
You deserve a prize for the most logical fallacies packed into ten words.

At least this answers the question that pagan fanboys have been asking for millennia: "Who'd win, Mercury or Enlil?"
That thread had been quiet for about 400 years, but no, you just had to flame it up again. Classical trolls incoming.

Releasing the client-side code isn't a big deal (it's right there in the page source!) I'd be more interested in the server-side code.

I don't want or need more dork cred.
And yet you post on Slashdot, on a thread about gaming mice...

For rockets, at least, I'm under the impression that the modern Soyuz is a solid design.
enough with the protectionist stupidity
