It's a military dictatorship. That it is Islamic is beside the point.
Knowledge is power. Military dictators that use censorship to keep their people ignorant keep them from questioning authority, revolting, and rebelling.
Blu-Ray causes less confusion too. I went to Best Buy with my mother and we were looking at DVDs. She picked up an HD-DVD and I said "that won't work with your DVD player."
"Why not?" she said. "I have an HDTV and a DVD player, so I can play HD-DVDs, right?"
"You mean I need an HD-DVD player too?"
Imagine how hard it will be to tell her she needs an HDCP-compliant TV as well.
You're right. There's nothing in it.
17.7 is the highest frequency I could hear using MPlayer. I could, however, hear all but the last one in Audacity.
I am 23 BTW.
Last year a report came out in the UK based on interviewing people in the street to ask when was the last time they were attacked, mugged, robbed, threatened etc and the numbers that came out were 2-3 times those bandied about by the government.
Thank God you guys have guns to protect yourselves. Oh, wait.
I'd be all for this, if I was allowed to use its search engine and see what I did after I went to the bar last night...
Actually, that might be a decent compromise. If we the people can see exactly what the government is doing with this data, they might be more likely to use it more responsibly.
Of course, we may need the help 1337 hax0rz to help us get the data.
If Comcast has 100Mb/s of bandwidth for 500 subscribers (just making up numbers) Their 100Mb/s pipe is not 100% full 100% of the time. Prioritize my P2P traffic to be low priority. That way, if Joe Blow is trying to pull up his sports scores on ESPN, and the pipe is full, then my P2P is put on low priority to burst his ESPN page through. If it's 3AM and it's just a bunch of P2P freaks downloading over an otherwise unused pipe, let us have it.
The problem, though, isn't that Comcast is concerned about the experience of the 90% of their customers browsing the web. They just see an opportunity to get more money from the other 10% without spending any money to upgrade their infrastructure. If net neutrality fails and ISPs start selling tiered services, do you think the cost will go down for low bandwidth users, or up for high bandwidth users?

It's nothing new.
Is there a reason the satellite has to be up this high? Could it be at a lower altitude?
There was no competition. Everyone got IE preinstalled with their computer, so that's what they used.
And if the government pays artists the same whether their art is good or sucks, what will happen to it?
Thank God I live in the U.S. where we have the DMCA to protect us from this. Oh, the irony.
Maybe now that their programs don't work on Vista either, people will give Linux a shot.
...why do people still send sensitive email unencrypted?
Now I'll know for sure if girls I take home are 18.
Oh wait, I'm a geek, girls don't let me take them home.

I think I know the answer.
Just tried it on Gentoo. It works too.
Hey, at least it will be easy for IT admins to implement. They can just switch their ISP to Comcast.
