Please try to keep in mind that not ALL americans think like this. If you believe that 100% of us are thick minded, arrogant, and forceful of our ways to the rest of the world, then your just damned wrong.
If your talking about our politicians, then fire away. I hate those bastards. =) I'll be happy the day I can vote for someone who I can believe isn't corrupt.
Exactly. I still trade music as much as I did 6 or 12 months ago.
The only thing that's changed is Napster is gone, and MP3.COM has new ownership. Napster sucked, and I only use MP3.COM once in a while anyway. (Good for techno.. some good stuff there)
Man, you are SICK. I'm serious. There something very wrong with you.
Who taught you this crap?
Question for you.. Why do female dogs menstruate? Did they do the nasty in the garden too? Why did "god" punish the little puppies? Are they supposed to get married first?
Anyone else here glad this mentality is going the way of the dodo?
Some people may be dissappointed with this argument, but why such a big push for every device to be on the internet?
What GOOD valid reason is there for having a pacemaker on the internet? Monitoring? Couldn't that be done on a private (radio..? I dunno) network? WOuld you really want something that makes your heart beat hooked up to a worldwide network? Not I.
Some things are just meant to have there own PRIVATE networks. Besides, my toaster would be a huge waste of an IP address.
Anyone know if the CDMA (Sprint PCS uses it) network's signal is known for this? How about dual band phones? DOes it still cook you if it's not in analog mode?
We just got DSL in our store, in Cary, North Carolina (10 minutes from Raleigh) and are unimpressed with our speed. The CO is 13000ft away from us (about 1 driving mile) and we are only getting 140K downstream. I haven't clocked the uploads yet. We really don't do that much uploading, even email.
It's surprising because the street our building is on was constructed fairly recently. The street and building are only 3 years old, and is the next street over from the CO.
BTI gave us a courtesy call yesterday, and when we relayed the speed to them they weren't surprised, and didn't offer any advice or assistance.
At this point, I think it's time to drag out the contract and see if we have anything specified. I didn't personally order the service (my boss did) so I'm unsure what we are in fact paying for. But 140K? That seems very unlikely to be our max.

I agree. If Nintendo came out with new versions of Zelda, Kart & Mario (Which I'm sure they will), I'd have my wallet whipped out and ready to buy the GameCube on opening day, no doubt.
You know, I'm really sick of people saying "Usenet is dead". Who gives a crap about internet culture? I don't use usenet because it's "hip". I use it because I like it.

OK...

Check out Gnucleus. It's very good.

Thank godfor that.
Why shouldn't tampon ads be aired? Seriously..
Isn't that a little childish? What next, toilet paper? Wart ointment? Foot powder?
Oh great.. Another USB attachment.. I don't have any ports left!
"Ok, so you have biometrics. Get a piece of tape, take your parent's fingerprint off their cereal bowl. Big deal. "
Dude. You watch WAY to much TV.

Yea, it would be fun to watch them lose in court.
Having a right-button context menu is very handy.
It's just around the corner, and they've displayed the technology at several large computer shows.
If it's still in development, it shouldn't be up for sale.
The question here isn't whether you like it, it's whether it's legal. And it is.

Anyone else think this is just to-freeking-cool? I'm getting Asimov flashbacks, I swear. :)
Thanks for the link! I wish I found Gandi when I registered my domain last month. :(
Could've saved $30 a year, PLUS they have free email forwarding (1 address). I will no doubt keep them in mind.

If it was your kid, you might feel differently.
Good answer!
It's not hard to use. People are stupid. Say it. Yes..
