And my libertarian friends wonder why I hate both government AND mega-corporations. We the people no longer matter. Although there is one thing in favor of the megacorps: They can't suck money direct from my wallet, send armed goons to invade my house, or force me to go die in Nam or Iraq or some other stupid war.
Fail. I wanted to know "why" the cell companies don't like these boosters. What's wrong with wanting to give your cellphone better reception or transmission? It used to be commonplace (cars driving around with them on their roofs).
Windows didn't dominate because of random events. It piggy-backed on the popularity of the hardware, specifically the IBM PC. When the PC won, so too did MS-DOS and its overlay called windows. If the PC had died, so too would have DOS and windows.
Android doesn't have the advantage of sitting on the #1 piece of hardware like windows had.
>>>That does not mean you have the right to travel any way you wish without restriction.
Frak it. (pulls trigger) Anymore tyrants wish to take-away my Right to drive or fly via the Common property which belongs to all the People? C'mon. Line up over here..... we'll deal with you the same way we dealt with Julius Caesar, Nero, Robespierre, Mussolini, and so on. The People are the ultimate authority to wish all government servants must eventually bow.
Oh so it's just like when Windows XP(?) shipped with a virus on-board. That should make it easier to control, simply by virus protecting the Engineers desktops.
But serious: You're right that I jumped to a bad conclusion where poor==dialup. (hits self). Here's what the article actually concludes: "Higher education levels in a country are also conducive to a lower level of infection." And vice-versa presumably.
There's no reason why these machines should be connected to the internet. Maybe some of the top-level communication computers to coordinate between plants, but certainly not the local-area computers/machines.
Do you think Facebook and Google will be #1 for very long?
No. Geocities and Myspace and Yahoo used to be the top dogs... where are they now? Replaced by new upstarts... likewise FB and G will someday be replaced by new upstarts. No monopoly stays a monopoly for very long.
>>>You could always install your own if you really want it.
Which can cause it's own annoying problems. It appears all the NTFS partitions were erased when I installed linux, so every time I try to run the Compaq Windows XP recover CD, it gives me an error: "Not enough free space."
A bit annoying because I'd like to restore windows to sell the laptop on ebay (it will get higher bids). I guess I could advertise the laptop as "comes with Windows!" and just throw the CDs in the box to leave the Buyer to figure it out, but I'd rather restore it myself prior to sale.
>>>Sorry, but you getting from MD to California so you can attend a meeting on Friday is not a right.
By that reasoning, you don't have a right to not be shot in the head by my laser, because it's not listed in the Constitution. (takes aim). I strongly suggest your reasoning is flawed and that you should reconsider.
>>>Which is why you've chosen to live in a town that has no police department, don't wear a seatbelt...
You are so right. I've seen the light. Clearly YOUR viewpoint is the correct one, and we should hand all our earnings to the government and they can just give us our homes, cars, televisions, weekly grocery food stamps, and whatever else we need.
I guess I'm really lucky. My cell company (virginmobile) has a monthly cost of only $0.00 per month. I only get charged for calls or texts I make (18 and 10 cents), plus 6% sales tax. That's it. No hidden fees or universal service/911 funds.
>>>downloading commercial content illegally DON'T go out and buy a license for it later.
I'm one of those. That's because the movie or show is shit and not worth wasting my precious dollars on. But if I like it, such as Star Trek the Movie or Stargate Atlantis, then I do buy it legally to support the writers, actors, and staff.
Of course if the movie/music/tv industry offered the same basic guarantee as Candybar manufacturers ("Satisfaction guaranteed, or return unused portion for refund"), I'd stop downloading completely because I wouldn't have to fear getting stuck with a shit DVD or CD.
The guy who owns the company installing these Naked Body scanners is also the guy who used to work for Bush and ordered their installation nationwide in 2006. Can you say? Bias?
Or maybe corruption.
Eventually I expect to see them pulled from the airports, either due to public outrage or health concerns (damage passengers' skin), and then that will be another ~1 billion in Stimulus money wasted.
No. Risk is based upon ACTUAL events of previous deaths, not random guessing or conjecture. Prior to 9/11 the U.S. risk of death by terrorist was 1 in 90 million. After 9/11 and the deaths of ~3000 people, it was revised to 1 in 500,000... same as your risk of drowning in a tsunami.
And LESS risky then odds of getting killed by a meteorite (1 in 200,000) or in a car (1 in 100). I'm not afraid of getting hit on the noggin, and neither am I afraid of the terrorist bogeyman. - (But I am afraid of death in a car... that is a logical thing to fear.)
You can tell you're old when you remember when 512K was considered a lot of memory. "I got a Commodore Amiga 500. I could do BASIC or C programming for an entire month and still not fill-up all the space! Wow." ----- Now we have computers with 1000 times that amount and they won't run Win7 or OS X out-of-the-box.

>>>want regulation that prevents competition

What security risks???
Next I suppose the megacorps will tell me I can't use a room-mount antenna with my TV or FM radio. Or Comcast will say I can't use any box but theirs.

>>>Windows won the PC market vs. other competitors like BE and OS/2 because...
BE and OS/2 won't run the MS-DOS or windows apps that people were used to using. Fixed that for you. ;-)
Windows didn't dominate because of random events. It piggy-backed on the popularity of the hardware, specifically the IBM PC. When the PC won, so too did MS-DOS and its overlay called windows. If the PC had died, so too would have DOS and windows.

If I said something like that, I'd get modded troll.

This is an attempt to discredit the Wikileaks website in the minds of the EU and US public, by smearing the owner as a "rapist"
.
"the presence of a high speed broadband connection is linked to the widespread presence of botnet infection..... has been proven false."
What's this mean? That we can blame dialup users? The article hints that's the case when it says most infected computers are from poor households.
Plus Amendment 10 and the concept that Congress is limited to approximately 25 enumerated powers, and no more.
Most of the governmental powers are reserved to the Member States, in the same fashion that most powers are reserved to the EU's States.
My "hero" is middle school was Mr. Spock via the reruns of the original Star Trek.
Later on it was LaForge.
Strange how both of them ended-up terminally single.
Yeah my vision is foggy.
Please show my an example IT resume that revolves around "cloud" programming, so I can copy it.

See?
I too can set-up a ridiculous extreme argument.
>>>"911" fee on your monthly statement

No more like that Christian company that used to take DVDs, strip-out the naughty words or scenes, and then sell the edited movies to families.
