It is my phone equipment that I pay for. If for instance, I could charge people to use my equipment and leased line for THEM using my phone to do their business on, then I would be happy. I would gladly accept a call for 50 dollars in MY pocket.
Sadly, politicians and charities were exempted. They are both businesses.
I want a law passed to be a true do-not-call list with NO exemptions on business use.
I would allow calls with accurate weather alerts , "a tornado was spotted at 5th and Main traveling North East at 15 miles per hour. Please take shelter if you are in this vicinity" type of call. Thunderstorms do not count as severe weather.
ALL other calls from people I do not know , should cost them money, payable to ME.
Piss on politicians who think they can have their 'people' call me on their behalf. I simply note the assholes from the party that calls me and refuse to vote for them. Sadly, the Dems and Reps get no votes from me, I bet they wonder why...
"Verizon Communications confirmed on Thursday that it will stop offering its customers access to tens of thousands of Usenet discussion areas, including the alt.* groups that have been a free-flowing area for discussions for over two decades"
Just because pedo friendly use groups exist, is that a reason to ALLOW them?
Should I be allowed to want pictures of your eight year old daughter, I should be? I think the 'think of the children' people SHOULD be heeded and listened to. Are you a part of the problem? Or are you part of the solution? It is an EASY choice, even if you fail to see the choice.
IF I was a pervert and desired to have free and open access to pictures and information to YOUR kids, I should think YOU would want to know and PROTECT your children. Failing that, I should expect you to be KILLED by society at large. There is NO EXCUSE for pedophillia.
Agreed, private property is PRIVATE, posted or not. People should respect the property of others, regardless of postings.
Having said that, I would not be concerned about people who drove by my land and stopped for a short time. It is when they trespass, that they cross the line.
Trespassers will be SHOT, Survivors will be SHOT AGAIN.
Such is the reality of private property. Just because it shows up on a map or Geo-Whatever, does not mean you can invade.
Slashdotters note, as you get older, you resist kids trampling on your flowers or garden. Life is strange. We worked to cultivate this random or carefully planted 'wilderness'. Stay out until YOU pay for the taxes.
The internet is a series of highways and the ISP provides me with a rental car, and I pay for the gasoline.
It is NOT for the ISP to tell me where to drive or how many times I can drive to a given location.
When they sell me unlimited gasoline(bandwidth) it becomes none of their business where I choose to use the gasoline. I may make many cross-world trips, it is none of their business where I go.
Now it seems like they want to control my driving habits.
Fsck That. Yeah, the DSL/Cable Modem is the car. Duh!
I happen to have 5 (five) of the Model M keyboards, NEW in the BOX !. NO, they are not for sale. This one I am presently using was manufactured in 1984. That is 24 years of service. If they ever remove the DIN connectors from PC's, I'm building an adapter. LOL.
We all, live on Dross. The impurities that form on a mass of molton metal. Remember the iron/nickel core? Hot and cooling. And you are worried about Global Warming?????
Okay, it is a freebie. Japan has been leading the development for years. Robots and exo-skeletons. EDS is/was a nice company. I hated the dress code. Thanks Mr. Perot.
is but ONE of many who develop such stuff. The exo-skeleton concept has been around for MANY years, just grab an old copy of Popular Science from the 1960's. The subject was "Man Amplifiers". Nothing to see here.
When my eyes start seeing in HD Digital, analog will be just fine for me. My eyes will degrade from now until my death. Why should I be forced to spend more money, on a technology that will be outdated by mother nature?
The 'new' technology uses more dangerous technology, that the CRT era. Why is stupidity being pushed to support a specific industry? Forty dollar coupon??? The converter boxes should be FREE , since the government mandated it!
Those frequencies are called GUARD BANDS , they are seperation to prevent signal bleed-over. Perhaps Google has no real engineers working for them after all.
A good question, it seems like wagon train cooks knew for years that ringing the dinner 'bell' would bring the cowboys in from the trail, and they would be salivating. It was not worth mentioning in a paper.
But Pavlov documents this behavior in dogs, and people think he was great or something.

Call it GoogleMail , not rocket science.

I do not do T-Mobile or Starbucks. How is this even close to Nerd News?
Video-conferencing. Way cheaper. Is this story really "news"? :)
No mechanical breakdowns

Eat your hearts out.
Sign up for a gazillion Paypal accounts, use ONE bank account, and after Paypal
... hurry.
deposits the money, withdraw the money and close the account.
Profit !!!!! And a fitting end to Paypal. Pennies DO add up. The transaction
costs alone would bankrupt Paypal. Somebody write a script

I say, deny Comcast Safe Harbor!
Try to circumvent the law.
BANNED FOR LIFE from practising law
anywhere on the planet, PLUS banned
from running for public office.
Time to get medieval on these types.
With that FAKE well in the front yard, I'd worry more :)
about THAT diminshing their property value.
EVER, just a monopoly that should have been razed to the ground forever.
Bill, never let me find you, it will not be pleasant. Creme pies will
rule!
That is ALL these people can offer. PERIOD.
As time goes by, we, as consumers , expect
MORE speed at a LOWER cost.
Just like any other business, the more I purchase,
the LESS is should cost. Apparently these people
fail to realize that. Bummer.

I find this self aggrandizing and flawed.
Because I wrote THIS article, and I link to it to provide evidence,
therefore I am an expert. Psychobabble at it's finest.
