I find this perfectly acceptable. The prices of college books are absolutely insane, and forcing college students to pay such ridiculus prices is perhaps just short of extortion.
I can also confirm this works, although not well. As soon as you give the OS a fair amount of filesystem activity (ie decompressing, installing etc.), it locks up. Vmware complains about something related to filesystem activity/read&write/something (can't remember, really), and the only option is to turn the virtual machine off at this point. This is only my experience, of course. I have only tested this on Linux with host filesystems reiserfs and ext[3,4], and have not used a dedicated hard drive, only seperate partitions. It's probably worth noting that it was also under Arch Linux, which requires a certain "hack" for installing VMware (Vmware requires sysv init scripts, Arch uses BSD-style).
If you think about it, the "right" here is the right to access the largest database of information the world has ever known. I would say that the ability to attain knowledge falls under "inherent in the nature of the human being" as well as "an integral part of human dignity". It's not really about the technology, being broadband. It's about access to knowledge which is, as far as I'm concerned, an inalienable right.
Reading this reminded me why I cringe when I hear people say their major is "Something in business... Marketing, maybe." Can you really not think of anything better to do with your life? I suppose if your intent is to work for a nonprofit that might be legitimate, but I don't think that's the idea running through most marketing majors' heads.
Are you really of the opinion that sexual relations outside of marriage should be regarded as criminal? I mean, really?
I think I speak for about 2 billion people when I say that you are absolutely clueless.
He's obviously taking about working for U.S. workers who work for working foreign companies who do their work outside of their own working work zones in the U.S. Jeez, have you ever even worked a job before?
If companies like this had their way I'm sure it wouldn't be too far fetched to be disconnected after downloading and seeding a couple of Linux distros for a bit. The use of bandwidth alone would be enough "evidence" of copyright infringement, I'm sure.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think a really smart 12 year old wrote this summary?
I have the flu and feel kinda messed up so I might not be thinking clearly but... this just sounds like something from realultimatepower. Right? Somebody set me straight!!
I don't have cable TV and I have Internet access, although I'd have to say I'm getting ripped off. It's around 50 dollars per month (it comes to around $53), and the speed I get is horribly slow.
My only other options would be to move or get AT&T, which is even worse.

Huh... I thought it stood for WISE Is Space Exploration. Picture Yoda saying this and it all makes sense.
This seems like some best-case-scenario-wishful-thinking to me. I really don't think this is Google's actual opinion on the issue, IMO.

Seriously, take a picture of the board/screen/whatever, and import the image in to your notes.
I could easily see this irritating most professors to no end.

Sure, but when I get there is there anyone I can marry for citizenship?

Spot on, crackah!
Change "windows" to "Linux" and throw in some beer and "party" becomes applicable.
Um, we also use them to snap shots of boobs at parties.

*WHOOSH!*
A joke just flew directly over your head. Nice "reading comprehension skills".
Very good points.
I certainly couldn't have said it any better.

Oh yeah? I'm behind twenty. Beat that.

Maybe it's just because I live in Michigan, but I've been seeing an awful lot of netbooks lately, especially at the college I attend.
I think the solution to all of this is simply not having children.
How about "tomahto"?
I call bullshit on this one. I'm pretty sure there have been robotics competitions before. Pretty sure as in around 99%.
Sorry.
That was not only incredibly stupid, but completely irrelevant.
