I notice that your email address is @americanwicca.com, so I am going to gamble that you are wiccan or at least interested in & supportive of wicca...
Do you believe that people should be able to look up sites like americanwicca.com using public computers? I assure you that most censorship solutions will try to block everything to do with wicca...
no it's not resonable. You should choose a term that relatively clearly & uniquely refers to the company in question
the term Linux clearly & uniquely refers to something else...
1 challenger in oh...30some years of space travel...
that's better odds than oh...say...bungee jumping...
(yes I know that there was that other thing that blew up on the pad, but still...)
Actually I'm kinda nervious about it
if the government has put that much money into the infrastructure, they're going to want to have at least some control of it...
maybe that's harmless, but it's something to to watched carefully at least...
$40 bucks a month will cover operating costs pretty well
but the cost of laying that much fiber is going to be huge!
and according to the edmonton journal article, the government contribution will be $300 million (canadian)
I hate to make another read the article post, but actually, but the time she reaches normal skydiving hights she'll be going a little slower than normal skydivers...should land *relatively* intact even if she is unconcious/dead
(sky divers have survived landing with no chute...)
Does anyone have any idea how traffic control would be handled with these things, if everyone were using them at some point in the future?
I mean, airports use very complex control systems that CERTAINLY wouldn't be practical, but with no clearly defined streets in the sky, you couldn't exactly do red lights and stuff like we do now:)
and yet, given how dangerous accidents would be with one of thse, there'd have to be something I think...
but it should always be noted that when the cd starts to degrade, you can duplicate it without any quality loss...
so the cd still has the POSSIBILITY at least of being eternal, whereass the film has absolutely no chance...
I don't really think it matters what the students WANT to do...
The question that is in my mind is what they would ACTUALLY be doing...And I am not yet convinced that they would not be laying claim to a section of the moon IN PRACTICE.
but a lot of the stuff has no way of being used remotely too.
The rover for example...it's not doing anything.
What about the food wrappers and the boots?
do you think those are "not abandoned" too?
you haven't used it have you...
I've actually used divX a fair bit and had very little trouble with artifacts
I'm not going to say they arn't there, but if you use a decent data rate they are supprisingly rare...
IANAL either, but I think that if they directly state that they will release it at such and such a date, and then don't they are probably in breach of something or other...there are some laws about companies using false advirtising at least that might apply it seems to me...
I see an awfull lot of people pointing out the problems with this service, and yes, most of them are right...however, I think we all need to keep 2 things in mind.
1)this is new technology...most new technologies are expensive and sucky...it will probably get better in both regards, given just a little time
2)I dream of one day taking off and going and living in the middle of nowhere in the rocky mountains...For much of my work, I am very dependant on my high speed net links (but also, I could survive bad latancy). Unless somebody with way too much money starts putting fiber in absolutely ridiculous places....this is the only way I will ever be able to fulfill my little dream...

This map is SO useless... since it's not per capita, or per computer, or something, it really doesn't mean anything...
According to the site you need a "fixed IP"
as near as I can figure, VERY few people actually have that, so, until that changes I don't really see this going anywhere...

At a guess, I'd say that's made up of LIBRARIANS

theres a whole thread about that a bit up from you...
I'd buy that theory, except for all that "bringing you in line" crap... that doesn't sound very much like just replacing lost data...

why is it that you can't block partial nudity without blocking "entertainment"? which includes the infamous IMDB
of course most of HP's burners are "personal" burners, this would mostly affect individuals, not tech firms...
oh well...

you mean...
If you are an american and you retrieve it, don't you?
I don't see how they'd convince some chinese guy that he has to give it back...

yes, but when you sell as many tires as firestone does, even a fraction of 1% is a whole shitload of tires...
At least I'm far away from all those american murder capitals :)
(and I'm a dual citizen (US/Canada) so I can say that if I want...)

You should all come to calgary (canada) I know of at least 3 ADSL, and 1 cable provider here :)
and I think there may be some more small ADSL types
