The digital divide is often an ethereal concept without any hard facts to show its actual existence. However, it is easy to see when various indicators are compared and contrasted. Take this "Globalization Index" prepared by Foreign Policy Magazine. The results are very much skewed towards countries with advanced tech sectors. This chart of the gulf in the digital divide over the past 5 years is particularly interesting.
"Today, a giant pool of magma still lies beneath Vesuvius and extends at least 400 square
kilometers under some of Italy's scenic coastline, making a fresh eruption possible at any
time."
If there's another eruption, future scientists will be able to study how 20th century tourists interacted with bronze-age archeological tourist attractions.
Licensed airwaves is a good thing. It ensures that frequencies remain useable and don't obstruct other frequencies. If anyone could broadcast on any frequency, the airwaves would be useless due to noise.
Maybe more work needs to go into reforming the regulation policies instead of developing free-for-alls.
Perhaps if MS had not shurgged off serious Java development so early in thier OS cycle, they could join in on this buttery goodness. Now you can only buy software like this for windows from companies more interested in labeling themselves "enterprise" than producing affordable, useful stuff.
I guess posting at 2, you know, seeing that little Score:2, helps me salvage my self-image from the clutches of my unorthodox sex-life. Why do you include homophobia in all your posts numb nuts?

my not@home network.
Karma is a small price to pay.

they'll be a very efficient way of delivering AOL signup cd's door to door.
Soon, @home will be our victim, but right now, it's only Michael Jackson, Verizon, the Pentium 4 and Ain't it Cool News
tcd004
Only AOL Time Warner Turner, News Corp, Verizon and Oprah should be allowed to make Web pages.
Everyone else doing it will just mess stuff up!

1. My @home cable modem service, which was shut off.
2. My omnisky palm service, which will soon be shut off.
Maybe I should have gone with Verizon all along

But how does it run on a Pentium?
Scientists should really leave rosie o'donnell alone.

AICN's message boards are definitely facts. Every one of them.

You've clearly missed the fact that in addition to being a Karma whore, I'm a web-traffic whore.
They'll try to stick Pentium 4's into our skulls.
Raise your hand if you hate those commercials...

My Plan for MS

Your reply was so enjoyable it made the creation of the entire site worthwhile.
Thanks for letting us absorb some of your joviality!
I want something more fulfulling than the Pentium 4! Look at how poorly it stacks up to an Atari 2600!

Come to Chuck's Garage. We'll disconnect this bloody thing.
Run in fear! Buy Tickets! It's Harry Potter's box office.
