a private entity can not curtail free speech because you have the right as a citizen to stop supporting that private entity. if they piss off enough people, they will go out of business and the speech they stifled will be made public eventually (eg Conservative talk radio's massive success)
a government CAN curtail free speech because you DO NOT have the right as a citizen to boycott the government. Even if they piss off everyone in the nation, the speech they stifle can not be made public.
And thats the end of that.
Its really sad how ignorant american citizens are regarding their own nation.
Das Kapital was considered ground breaking when it was written 150 years ago, but it has since been pretty thoroughly debunked. I suggest you brush up your economic understanding.
"The only textbooks I own that I think are useful I saw in the college bookstore, and bought used on half.com for my own personal use-not needed for any class."
No offense, but it sounds as though you are in the wrong major.
I'm sure that someone is really going to reveal sensitive corporate information like this on slashdot.
If you really were a big enough player in the scene that your rumors had any credibility, you would probably lose your job within days of posting this.
Therefore, I think its relatively safe to assume that you're either making this up, or that you are embellishing your position of knowledge a little.
"none of you have a clue what its like in the real world"
It is ego-centrism like this that burns me up. Pray tell, what makes the "factory world" any more real than "cubicle world?"
I think you're just going off on an ego-trip. Your present or past "world" is no more or less real than any "world" or reality that is being experienced by anyone else.
"real world," my ass. Sounds like you never made it out of high-school, just based on your uncalled-for elitism.
I don't think that ISPs would be legally allowed to charge someone for something they didn't subscribe to.
If they add in a clause in the user agreement that hacking speeds is an implicit subscription, then they would be sanctioning all attacks on their system.
Actually, you're dead wrong. Abortion is legal in all 50 states at any point during the three trimesters. Translation: A "fetus" could legally be "aborted" while the mother was going into labor 9 months after she conceived.
If you don't believe it, thats fine. A lot of people are brainwashed -- don't feel bad.
hey man, if you're serious, I congratulate you. I hope you're not saving that money just because you have an aversion to spending it though.
Saving, after all, is just another form of spending.
But, if you're just not given to succumbing to the "ritch bitch" syndrome, as you call it, I think thats fuckin awesome. I can't fuckin stand people who feel driven to buy shit whose only purpose is to serve as a status symbol.
yeah, I never throw away my code print-outs at the school lab. I save them and recycle them at home or elsewhere. Hell, I'll admit that while I've never copied anyone's code, I actually did look through one of those bins after working 48 straight hours on an assignment. Thankfully nothing applicable had been thrown out that day.

man don't be so anal. you're not hot stuff. I'm just a co-op at IBM and I've seen circuits that only work when they are probed -- you don't sound experienced when you say that. In fact, I could have written your entire post. All I'm trying to say is that this guy asked a reasonable question and you're belittling his knowledge by attempting to portray the fact that you are knowledgable, when, in fact, you do not sound knowledgable at all -- merely annoying.
Slashdot Mirror
minority of the public = 50% of the voting population
haha
this kind of head-in-sand elitist behavior is why you liberals keep losing elections
you might note that you only did that during an age of very limited regulation.
food for thought.
"This is a paranoia level approaching IBM, where every copy machine has a traceable watermark."
:roll:
aha. take off your tin foil hat.
NO, you can't!
If you are a private entity, the very muzzling of that speech is an act of free speech.

You
They are a private entity! IT IS THEIR CHOICE TO RUN OR NOT RUN PROGRAMMING/ADVERTISEMENTS.
Free Speech can only be curtailed by the government.
Some people should actually try to READ the constitution before they try to apply it.

You don't think it was challenging to develop this automated system?

what an absolutely pointless question. Why even bother to take a survey if you're going to taint it with such a slant?
They should have just asked simply, "do you plan on switching from microsoft?"
ugh. silly commoners

he said, dissidence which is significantly different from dissidents, although you are correct by stating that dissonance is the appropriate word.
Anyone notice the fact that this guy leaves some pretty shitty tips?
Under the "trusted computing" proposals someone could do exactly that by tagging the virus
and just how, pray tell, would the author of the virus get his code signed by the TCG?
uhhuh, FUD debunked. next?
you never talked to a "manager" they just laughed and transferred you to their friend in the next cubicle.
I have friends who worked in places like that and they'd tell stories like that all the time.
oh please... i've pr0ned for longer periods of time and my life is still on track! :-P
don't hate just cause its a game - al4a is the same damn thing

k.... and judging from NS 4.7, I'm pretty goddamned happy that microsoft kept them from migrating to a whole platform.

viewed macroscopically, it is. deal.
