In other words, if you can do it, and no government says you can't...then you *do* have the right to.
Don't worry, your crimethink has been detected and registered (hint: it's doubleplus ungood). There is no cause for alarm if you're approached by some soldiers from Miniluv. They only want to help your Ingsoc education.
Let's all sing a round of "Oceania 'Tis for Thee", shall we?
The police (like the rest of the government) must follow the laws like the rest of the citizens. This may seem like a radical concept, given today's elected leaders, but some of us have been fans of it since it was first put into practice in the 13th century.
I'm not quite sure I'd recommend Drizzle. It all depends on your needs. Maybe they're good simply running a server. I've been a customer of theirs (with Qwest being the DSL provider) for about the same time - five, maybe six years, I forget. I don't run dedicated servers, but I am an internet user who loves using bittorrent to trade live concerts.
I will attest that their uptime for straight DSL/ISP service has been pretty solid. Maybe one unscheduled outage per year - max, but things are getting worse - especially since being purchased by a larger ISP whose name escapes me. Their email services are really lacking these days Other issues: 10 MB total for an inbox? Not to mention their connectivity to their webmail (a SquirrelMail interface) is at best dicey on a weekly basis. Their customer support folks, while knowledgeable and helpful, are only available business hours M-F. Each of these complaints might have seemed quaint a few years ago, but now it's getting tiresome. The main reason I don't get rid of drizzle (other than being too lazy to set up my own domain and mail forwarding) is that I don't think I'll be able to find 1.5MB/1.0MB ADSL service elsewhere for $50 a month.
It's been a good ride with Drizzle. I'm sorry Speakeasy got purchased. On more than one occasion I considered jumping to them from Drizzle. I don't know who's left, as it's been a long time since I've searched for ISPs. Maybe Blarg is still around? Can anyone attest to them?
Or the addition of commercials? I've never subscribed to either, but I thought one of the services still ran commercials (maybe it's Sirius because I think Stern reads them on-air) even though you were paying money for them.
It will be interesting to see if the non-commercial-running service stays that way.
I have no connection to this company, other than being a satisfied customer, but what you want to do is to purchase Powerex NiMH batteries, and a MAHA - MH-C204W Smart World Travel Conditioning Battery Charger.
Yes, cars have changed dramatically in the last 20 years. More power, more amenities, much safer and easier to drive, but according to Car and Driver magazine, fuel efficiency hasn't changed much in 25 years
Seriously? Runs well? It's an absolute dog on my PIII 600 laptop with 128MB RAM. Yes, I know I need to increase the RAM to 256 (it can't go higher - bad RAM slot, and I'm not paying several hundreds of dollars to fix it), but still, it's painful for it to boot, or start apps, or basically do anything.
Are there things I need to do to improve the performance?
You know you're addicted when your non-geek wife recognizes Slashdot...
I'll go one further. The first time my wife looked at my laptop with Slashdot's new css sheet, she said "that looks different" - and she doesn't read/. herself.
I believe you meant to say "every *supported* version of Windows", as I see no patch for Windows 98 users. I'm not one of them, but unfortunately, some family members still are.
Of course, these family members are also firewalled, so I'm not particularly frightened.
I don't have a specific printer recommendation, but if there's one you've found whose only downside is a lack of a network interface, couldn't you just share the printer from a computer?
This is not a flame, and I've perused the FAQ, and I can't seem to find an explanation for the goal of these Backslash stories. What purpose are they meant to serve, and what value do they offer over temporarily browsing a story at +5?
I'm sure I'll get modded down for this, but I just don't understand these stories. Yes, I know I can block them in my preferences, but I remain optimistic for now. With the (somewhat justifiable) criticism of the/. editors, I'd rather see more effort elsewhere, rather than a recap of yesterday's news, with no additional opinion or analysis, not including those who comment, added.

Growing Insulin
·
· Score: 1
You know what, as someone with diabetes in his family, I'm looking more towards closer and more reasonable steps, such as pairing a continuous (and implantable) blood sugar monitor combined with an insulin pump...i.e. an artificial pancreas than curing diabetes.
*Then* we can complain about getting people off insulin, and re-growing pancreatic cells from stem cells, and a whole bunch of other things that will cure this disease.
I'm wondering if these same researches tried to define what their subjects defined as "news"? If something was newsworthy, I'm guessing they likely found out about it over time. Maybe the people didn't read it because they were informed from other sources?
Slashdot Mirror
You mean like http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxdrive3/?
From the date of that article, that figure is from more than two years ago. I'm sure the total number of iPods on campus is much, much higher now.
Riiiiight. What's an ark?

Goodbye, Spaceman.
Unless it's possible that news isn't true either.
One word: Podcasts.
That is all.

Then you will be a satisified customer too.

You must not live in a major city, or at least ones with stations in the lowest part of the available FM frequencies.
And what exactly is your point, Mr. Coward? That didn't stop Wil Wright from dedicating "The Sims" to her.
Or, can dead people not be considered to be "influential"?

Pardon me for trying to politely ask for help. Would you like to tell me to RTFM too? 'cause I did that.

Sounds like a bit of a flawed evaluation to me.
