Yep. Sorry, that is what I get for being in a hurry and skimming the web page before I left this morning!! However, now that I have gone back and looked at it, it may be TOO subtle. Sadly, 90 percent of that page could easily be the next headline on Fox News!! I guess that is what freaked me out about it. I know a lot of folks that truly believe that kind of stuff. I guess my mistake almost proves my point. Well, sort of:)
Ya. My bad. I was in a hurry this morning and clicked the wrong reply button. I was talking about the Shelly the republican article that another post had in it.:)
I don't know about the rest of you, but this article scares the crap out of me. This woman basically takes some technology, puts her 'slant' on it by saying it is used for illegal activities and then begins her outcry against the technology. This is crazy. I mean REALLY, seriously F*&ked up. I find it hard to believe that there are really people out there that think like this. I thought it was just limited to governments, large corporations and religions looking for control that used these tactics, not soccermom down the street. Of course, it does prove how pervasive those tactics have become, that it finally filters down into mainstream individuals in our society.
You know, I can take a toothpick and make it pornographic, use it as a weapon, etc. That does not mean we should RAIL against toothpicks!!
What really scares me the most about this article is that it is a direct assault against our freedoms. I don't own a video camera, but I do have the right to, if I wanted. With all of the freedoms we have lost in the last ten years, I hope people see this article for what it is: A deliberate attempt at gaining control through fear and trying to take away more freedom from us as a result.
when I have 100Mbps (OK, uplink limited to 10Mbps). But that's fiber to a switch in the basement of the apartment complex where I live and a TP outlet in my apartment.
Dude, what apartments are you in? I am so there. If there are no vacancies... can I, uh, well.... live with you?

"eBay can't be too enthusiastic about this toolbar since it cuts directly into its main sources of revenue: ads and thumbnail fees."
That is why Ebay have not finished their own toolbar yet. They were too busy trying to figure out how to code the bar without messing up their revenue streams. Had they have just made the bar functional and user friendly, they might have already finished it. Fortunately for everyone else, the Stanford group was only concerned about a functional, working toolbar.
I find it interesting when people compare installations between Windows and Linux. Funny thing is, they are usually only talking about Linux installations, because Windows was already on the machine.
Interesting thing about the Dell I bought a couple of years ago, when the hard drive is clean and I do an install, Ubuntu works great. M$, however, installs but fails to allow me to connect to my cable modem because the broadcom driver is not on the SP2 install disk.
That means if I were reviewing that install - I would stop right there. If I can't connect to the net, what is the point of installing the OS in the first place?

pffft. Dude, everyone knows Hu's on first.
I wonder what their return policy is?
Tell that to someone that lost one or both arms in an accident/birth defect/war/etc. Those new arms may be the best hug that kid ever had.
Aren't we all?

It looks like Linus has been reading Slashdot the past couple of days.
