If the threat is that all the commercial enterprises are going to vanish from the internet and we're going to end up back in a time when the internet was for enthusiasts generating and trading information and content among each other without having to monetize absolutely every fucking page load, then by all means -- I'm on board.
This, so fucking hard. Used to be you spent hundreds a month on modem fees to give your BBS content away.
This disease causes people to spontaneously fall into comas, go blind, become covered in open sores, spontaneously lose limbs, and die horrible deaths.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
What you're forgetting is their whole rationale -- the TSA is "just" an agent of the AIRLINES, private entities to whom you submit in order to partake of their services. Ignore the federal regulation of the airlines and the fact that the search guidelines are also federal in nature -- they do.
Just be glad you don't have to submit to backscatter-xray/enthusiastic-groping when you cross state lines in a car.
My theory is that you are so hung up on WWII, the last "good war" that you fought in, that you and your leaders are subconsciously trying to recreate it so that you can feel good about yourselves again.
I don't think that word means what you think it does.
For that matter, why not remember and write in IP in the browser bar?
Flashbacks to SUN terminal rooms in college; having a notebook half-filled with IP addresses, passed from person to person, because only the CS grad students got printer time...good times.

In cases of individual parts?

A group has been working on re creating the orignal SWG (haven't check on the project since last spring), but I would play it again in a heartbeat.
There are actually a few groups trying that.
I'm not affiliated with the devs of SWGEmu, but I have been monitoring their progress as a member for some time now.
They've got a working game, and a lot of passion, but not much free-time to work on it. Check it out if you've still got your old disks!
You'll forgive me if the image of Montana and hours-long traffic jams is incongruous.
First one, then the other!
Bless you, sir.
Then you must kill them to death.
Fixed
Of course.
Gamers are people who play table-top RPGs face-to-face with real people.
You're assuming two things:
1. That (300 million Americans) want or need information in their news, and
2. We can't afford to just wait for our international brethren to inform us we talk like fags and our shit is all retarded.
Yes, I made a mistake.
Well, many home routers use 127.0.0.1 as the Info/Config page. I think mine uses 127.0.0.2, but still...
127.0.0.1
Wouldn't that cause a noticeable delay while the response timed out? Wouldn't a legal but "nonsense" IP like 0.0.0.0 work faster?
This is about Windows Phone 7, not Opera. ;)
Each shell (?) has a computer chip; they aren't pennies apiece.
For the manufacturer, they are.

Do you have some sort of periodical literature in which you could forward more of your ideas to interested parties?
what's going to happen when some terrorist boards a plane with an explosive crammed up his ass? Make everyone submit to a cavity search?
Is that supposed to a be a ridiculous, extreme example?
The thieves, criminals, terrorists etc do not think that far ahead.
So, the line between petty crime and true (super?) villainy is the ability to plan?
I'd always suspected that.

Yet.
A story about "hacked" credit card numbers DOESN'T deserve the "Your Rights Online" tag?
