No. People voted for the "free stuff!" party (seriously, why do you think they call themselves pirates) because they're leeches who don't want to lose their free ride.
I have to disagree with you here. The fact is that the Pirate Party only gained most of their support after the recent PirateBay trial verdict. Many voters felt the judgment is unfair and understood something had to be done about it. They did not simply join because they want free stuff.
What I found to be the best solution is to run Linux. My campus required Cisco clean access agent and service pack 2 to use windows on the network. I wasn't required to as Linux is allowed to connect without these. As for other concerns I would suggest setting up a encrypted proxy server at home then connecting through it. This will also allow for torrenting and PvP file sharing as this is often blocked on campus.
In 2004 Geico v. Google Inc. was a suit very similar to this. Geico was unable to prove that where searchers google Geico, they specifically only wanted the Geico webpage, instead of looking for the best insurance deal. Because Geico was unable to establish this the case was ended early with a judgment in Google's favor.
I have created a group on barackobama.com called get the stimulus right. Once again we must band together as we did with FISA and make sure that this package is what it is supposed to be, instead of just another round of tax cuts.
Everyone do what you can and call every senator tomorrow and get this right. We cant afford 800 billion wasted. We need it to be spent right to create jobs and modernize the American Economy.
What good are tax cuts if we don't have work in the first place?
If the infrastructure and science initiatives get stripped, then Obama needs to say no. The primary purpose of this stimulus is to give the new administration the money it needs to rebuild America.
Don't let congress mess this up. We need this stuff. If science and infrastructure are thrown out so that a few rogue republicans will add their support, then don't sign it.
I attempted to use it. I found that it did not work very well. The UI was vary packed and difficult to use. I had to remove the chat window just to see the ships controls. All in all, it was so poorly done that I didn't use more than a few hours of the 14 day trial account.
I don't know why, but I find this strangely fascinating. I guess it's the little things that point to Obama as a technology friend. It's interesting that they made a rather big deal over it being the first official digital picture of a president.
While DELL should have fixed the problem, don't blame Ubuntu. Verizon purposely designs its phones to be unusable with Linux. Verizon has a track record of locking its phones. For example, the Blackberry's built in GPS is inaccessible so that Verizon can charge to use its triangulation based navigation system.
As for the classes, the developers of the online software have an obligation to make it work on as many systems as possible. While Linux developers must continue to work towards compatibility with other systems, the companies behind them must work with us as well.
Finally, before anyone goes calling this woman idiotic for this compliant, we should make an offer to teach her about the technology and how to use non-Linux software through applications such as Wine.
My angry comment earlier asides, it does offend me that not only are some of the representatives of my state this conservative, but are foolish enough to attempt to pass a law that is blatantly unconstitutional. In the mean time my college which is a public school was just given a 22% budget cut. I ask how much time, effort, and energy has been spent on this maddening bill from Senator Ford that could have been spent in better ways such as making sure are public universities are fully funded.
fuck, now i have to go to the fucking state house and tell Sanford and all the other asshole to gtfo. Who's with me! Imagine, a bunch of Slashdotters holding up signs that say Get the Fuck out. I hate living in this state with these fucking retards.
Fuck!
The amazing fact here is that John McCain voted for the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. It astounds me that he just now finally recognizes the dangers caused by the DMCA.
Obama has proved himself to be a friend of the internet community. Yes, he voted for the new FISA bill, but he did change some of the language of the bill. It is this new language that enabled the major lawsuit that the EFF has filed. It is my belief that Obama knew this bill would pass and made it so that the telecom immunity would not apply to enable the EFF suit.
On another important issue Barack Obama is for Net Neutrality, John McCain is against it.
It is obvious to me and probably a large majority of Slashdot users that John McCain doesn't actually care about how easy DMCA take downs are to file, but rather that his own videos should be immune to them.
Simply not peeling out of traffic light has saved me a considerable amount of gas. I've got a 97 Dodge Dakota 3.9L V6. I find that by trying to maintain under 2000 rpm while driving and 2500 while accelerating has a huge affect. My advice, watch your tachometer first. Figure out where it sits at different speeds and adjust your driving accordingly. My other tips include basics such as frequent oil changes and making sure that your tires have the right pressure. Don't fall for any of the gimmicks like fuel4gas. If you want to make an improvement that you can actually afford, for about the price of a tank of gas you can drop in a K/N air filter. I'v got one and can tell the difference when I accelerate. Finally, never buy FRAM.
Check out the stickers from eff.org. They have a roll of stickers with the fourth amendment on them. It probably wont stop customs but you can argue with them about it. It's extra fun to quote the fourth amendment to them.
This is simply wrong. The patent office is supposed to exist to foster innovation, not prevent it. I'm sorry, but the use of the patent office in recent years truly galls me. Time and time again patents have been granted on things that do not radically better the world. The patent office has become a tool for the corporate world.
Simply put, if your telling me what I can and can't use as a UI element such as the dock in software that many of us here help create with OS's such as Linux, then I believe you should be stopped.
This reminds me of a DMCA take down notice. Does anyone know how fair use applies to links. If it applies, but they failed to consider it, there is a counter suit needing to be made thanks to the new legislation that you must consider fair use before demanding that something be removed. If anyone knows what the law is, I'd love to know.

Sold. If this thing is as advertised with "unlimited" internet, I'm buying one.

Ok, so bad UI one way or another. Does anyone remember Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. I wish they had a mmorpg more like that.

Stop it. The internet isn't yours to censor. All you accomplish by this is that you force regular people to break the law to get information.
I don't know why, but I find this strangely fascinating. I guess it's the little things that point to Obama as a technology friend. It's interesting that they made a rather big deal over it being the first official digital picture of a president.

So just out of curiosity, what happens to the preachers talking about eternal damnation and hellfire?

What about other cars. It should come with guided missiles to stop them from hitting you.
Go to HarborFreight for a generator. They are very cheap there.
I'm pretty sure that Warty Warthog outperforms Vista.
I think i'll let them have this one. It's not like I'm planning to cennsor any f---ing curse words any time soon. Hey wait a min--
