And who will control the internet in the USA? A few huge companies who can still keep people they don't want out even if the government was limited to providing an army and police force. The corps will own even that tiny, influence-free rump. No tiny companies will appear in metropolitan areas because they'll be either violently crushed or excluded from the internet backbone. You seem to have this idea that corporate control of our lives couldn't happen without government. A corporation can very easily control things you depend on, and the alternative will be another corp or 2 that behaves in exactly the same way.
Microsoft have behaved very badly over the years without any government support, stealing ideas, imposing exclusive deals with PC manufacturers and many other anti-competitive behaviours. The idea that the telecoms companies won't behave as badly or worse is just wrong. What you want is another aristocracy, responsible to none, and in control of everything.
It's not my house or my router. The person who bought this router knows very little about the alleged triviality of configuring an old PC to be a router. I'm going to buy her another one but I shouldn't have to. I should be able to trust the router manufacturer. If my bank had such weak security and I had to find out about it on Slashdot would it be my fault or would it be the fault of the bank?
Perhaps if you enlightened us cavemen with your brilliance by posting a few links perhaps we might be able to learn from your genius oh sandals-with-white-socksed one.
I had no idea how to write a simple MVC application before I got my first IT job. It took me all of a day to understand the concepts and a couple of days to produce a simple prototype of the application I've now implemented. I have also helped my colleagues who also weren't taught a specific area of software engineering with their issues with MVC. It's not that hard to do, save your arrogance for something that is.
Netgear, Belkin and the rest might deserve it but I don't. This is really lazy on the part of router manufacturers and I'm looking for a new one right now. Hopefully I can find one where the manufacturer doesn't suffer from a common sense failure.
You're a retard as well. I have a bootable USB stick and I have used IMAP but that's not the point. A complaint about Opera not working on a site should not be followed by "you shouldn't be using it like that" you fucking idiot. That isn't exactly going to drive adoption is it, it's just going to drive people to use a browser that does work on the site they want to use it on.
Stick your self-important superiority and your bootable USB stick up your arse.
Yes what I should do is carry a bootable USB stick and use that to browse my email, even if my employer doesn't want me to and will sack me for doing it. Christ you fanboys are stupid. I do have a bootable USB stick and I'll send it to you so you can stick it up your arse:-)
So I should have to carry around a USB stick everywhere I want to access my email rather than just using a web browser that is installed on every OS. You're not making much of a case are you?
Slashdot has a broad spectrum of differing opinions. I for example don't like Apple or Microsoft much but I don't see why people think they shouldn't pay for something that cost money to create just because it didn't cost money to duplicate.
Slashdot Mirror
Users unfortunate enough to suffer problems with their 3GS after installing iOS4 on it would beg to differ.
Who owns the internet backbone in the USA and and how difficult would they make life for anyone trying to set up an independent ISP?
Depends what the hand that feeds you wants you to do for your money.
What's that got to do with anything?
American workers charge too much for their labour? Are you working for Chinese money then?

50/50 I reckon.
You might want a proofreader there. It should be passengers' as there's more than one of them.

You had OOP principals. How did that work? Did your principal inherit from an abstract Administrator class?

I live in the UK too. Which goods do people pay less for in rural areas? And are property prices lower than in cities? Citation needed I think.
Airlines and broadband providers spring immediately to mind.

Works ok on v11/Windows 7 x64 as far as I can tell
Stupid fan boys. It's not a much better experience if you want to retrieve your email from somewhere other than your mom's basement.
I only have stubble - it is getting to be more grey than dark brown every day though.
See China manipulating people to boycott the nobel peace prize.
Nice one - comparing the "Land of the Free" to a fascist dictatorship. That clarifies your mindset perfectly.

Really? You think Sony won't sue you for breaching of the EULA you agreed to when you bought the console?
