>>>they busted Thomas Jefferson for impregnating Sally Hemmings
"busted"? Really? Are white men not allowed to have sex with black women (or vice-versa)? How colonial of you. --- From what illustrations I've seen, Sally was a gorgeous woman and I would have sex with her too. (With her permission of course - I'm too submissive to force someone to do something they don't want.)
If a free country, the agents responsible would already be tarred-and-feather by the People (from which all legitimate authority derives).
Constitution:
"We, the People of the State of Maryland..... declare: That all Government of right originates from the People, is founded in compact only, and instituted solely for the good of the whole; and they have, at all times, the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their Form of Government in such manner as they may deem expedient."
You sound like my art teacher, after I showed her video of cops beating an innocent jogger walking his dog. "I'm sure the cops had a good reason to beat him."
Riiight. More likely the cops (fbi) are Sick with power, and they do these things simply because they can, not because the citizen did anything wrong.
"Losers weepers; finders keepers." "Posession is nine-tenths of the laws," and so on. Balls thrown into my yard become my property - same applies with GPS devices found in my driveway.
The FBI would simply have to follow "the due process of law" if they wanted their discarded item back. I'm sure that would be most embarassing and reveal things they'd rather not reveal, but then I guess they shouldn't have left the GPS in my yard.
True. But it makes for good stories to fill-up Asimov's Science-based fiction. "Well it's theoretically possible to build a tractor beam" - random author
If it were up to me ALL your posts would get an automatic (-1) score to make yourt stupid ignorant father fucking posts invisible& censored!! You worthless piece of cmmmodore-beating off shit.
I'm one of those who doesn't do updates. Mainly because I've read too many horror stories of updates making computers unbootable, or breaking the software, or whatever.
Instead I wait a month-or-so until I'm sure there's no negative outcomes being reported by the press.
I'm not surprised. The only thing worse than your Stupidity is your Shitty Grammar. Do us all a favor and just shut the hell up
You're too lazy to bother taking five minutes to understand what you're reading, or to put it into any sort of context. Which also explains why you keep making so many factually incorrect statements (about the law, banking, retailing, etc) that you could simply look up and accurately understand if you were so busy watching sitting on the couch watching ripped off entertainment and lamely trying to excuse it away by pretending that you, and only you, have good taste. You might be surprised at how transparent you are, seen from outside of your mom's basement. Maybe if you asked her for a bigger allowance, you could actually pay for some of what you're desparately trying to come up with ways to justify rippipng off.
You're just making the mistake of assuming that you're smarter than you actually are, and that we aren't on to you. Which is typical of kids like you. You'll grow out of it.
SHUT UP YOU FUCLING TROLLL!!!! Why won't the mods ban this commodore idiott already??? NO WONDER YOU KARMA IS "TERRIBLE"

but "restraint" certainly has a lot to do with it. I don't see the need to spend ~$600/year for an internet-capable smartphone when my "dumb" phone can be had for $0.00 a year. (I only get billed when I use it - which is rare.)
Similarly I don't have cable TV. I used to when it was a decent price ($400/year) and Sci-Fi actually played sci-fi, but since the price skyrocketed to $900..... forget it. I put-up an antenna and now get 40+ channels for free.
Why don'y you SHUT UP freakin' troll? I'm tired of hearing about how CheapAss you are with your $0.00/month bills. If you're dso damn poor go get a job you,lazy SOB! I'm going to -1 mod you down so hard you'll never be able to post again.
BBC has a real problem understanding the concept of "archiving". For some reason they think just because they are done with the sites, nobody else wants them either, so just erase them.
It's somewhat similar to how they destroyed 1950s and 60s television tapes.
Shutup Troll. Or I and my friends will mod you into oblivion.
Also the kids in my family don't have their consoles connected online, so that means we'd all have games that refuse to play because they cannot "phone home" to the Game manufacturer's website.
Ditto with My kids. They don't have internet-connected consoles, so how are they supposed to play Capcom games? I guess Capcom lost several million customers with this decision.
Problem solved. The marijuana/cocaine/etc ban makes it illegal to imbibe these substances. So let's just do the same with alcohol, and all our problems will disappear. No more drunks == no more drunk driving.
Note: I'm being sarcastic.
I certainly hope so. People should be able to put anything they want into their bodies, upto and including cyanide. Else they are not truly free.
Deal with the abuse of the drugs (DUI) not the banning of them, or alcohol.
Maybe we can give the Chinese the French ISP phone number
Are the Chinese even allowed to dial outside their own country? Also I imagine the 15,000 mile distance would really create a lot of noise on the line. They'd be lucky if they got even 9600 bits per second. (Which means pages would take 5 times longer to load versus a full 50 kbit/s connection.)
Trivia:
China's average internet speed is 3900 kbit/s. For comparison the EU and US average ~10,000 kbit/s.
You need to eliminate the 5-minute backup at the toll booth, and thereby save yourself ~2000 hours over a lifetime. You don't need the human face, just as you don't need an operator asking, "Number please?" on the telephone.
And if you turn-around and sell the Used book to somebody else for ~$3.00, then you've really only paid 68 cents.
Kindle - $8.09 Used - 0.68
Wow that is a bargain. Over 90% off the kindle price. If you read $1000 worth of books each year, you'll save over $900 buying used instead, and then selling it back via amazon's marketplace.
Mozilla is a Corporation. Look it up. There's the non-profit foundation, and then there's the corporation that does the actual work of making the Gecko engine for Netscape, Firefox, and Seamonkey browsers. So to recount:
1 - Apple/Google's Webkit 2 - Mozilla Corporation (gecko) 3 - Microsoft Corporation (trident) 4 - Opera (presto) 5 - random other engines I've overlooked like Amiga's WebBrowse, Lynx, and so on
Our college professors don't have Bachelors degrees in Education, but they are some of the best teachers in the world. Foreigners flock to the US just to attend our colleges and universities.
In other words: I don't buy the argument you need an Education degree.
Slashdot Mirror
Damn.
Skip eating lunch today, and "make up" for the loss.

Dicks.
No I hate flash sites. So damn slow and baroque (gaudy). Like IMDb.com, although they have improved some.
Also works on Opera 11
Google's HTML5 demo site (from last summer) was no different. I tried multiple browsers, even Chrome, and it still kept telling me to upgrade.
Looks a lot like a flash site.
:-(
I've found Facebook has the opposite effect (lower self esteem).

Even corporations. Let's boycott Capcom's games, Capcom's gadgets, and Capcom's websites.
-1 over-rated??? More like: +1 insightful.
I am with you 100%. Boycott them.
Dahmer forcing people to eat cyanide against their will has jack-all to do with what I said (the right to kill oneself voluntarily).
Problem solved. The marijuana/cocaine/etc ban makes it illegal to imbibe these substances. So let's just do the same with alcohol, and all our problems will disappear. No more drunks == no more drunk driving.

I too hate waiting in toll booth lineups.
