True. When MP3s FIRST started taking off I was still using my 486dx2 with a whopping 32 megs of ram. I continued to use that system for another year after discovering MP3s. Ripping was pretty much infeasible so I used napster (later on when I found it) for all my mp3 and music, in general, needs.
I would really be interested in the release of Cheney's Energy Task Force report. It was funded in the months leading up to the Iraq war and the results have never been released (which is illegal because it was funded with taxpayer money).
Mind you this is also the company that has been posting record profits for the past 3 or 4 years while we've been paying out the nose for gas. Anything they can do to keep that money rolling in like it has been is not going to be overlooked.
I'm afraid the BBC has as many dirty tricks up their sleeve as anyone... they just choose to be more conservative with how and when they use them. I trust no major media company whatsoever.
Indeed.. every time I meet someone that is a member of PETA or is vegetarian for the same types of reasons, I bring that out and they have nothing to say other than "well we don't NEED to eat animals because we're smarter". I don't think we're smarter than mother nature and I feel it is very unwise to believe so.
Easy there cowboy... if you put anyone in complete control for more than one term you're going to get the same results. It's how the system works. I think it would be great to have democrats in control, but only for so long before we start seeing the same types of power grabs and pork barrel spending. What we really need is to get rid of the two party bullshit. They're two sides of the same coin anymore.
"Diebold CEO Walden O'Dell has bundled $100,000 or more in contributions for George W. Bush. O'Dell and his wife have given $19,965 to GOP candidates and campaign entities, nothing to Democrats."Source
Indeed scary.

Right. What does it matter if someone does? One less non-nerd on slashdot;)
I haven't played MegaTF in years... man do I miss that game. Dropping needles to infect... throwing flying cluster nades and wiping out half the opposition... gas grenading... yeah it was a blast.
Then came counter strike and everything else is history.
I still enjoy command & conquer generals now and again.
I swear I just saw on TV about some US oil company finding trillions of barrels off the pacific coast or some shit... it's amazing how the story keeps changing.
Easily said. Not so easily done. There are many businesses out there that can't even figure out how to lock down their MTAs and prevent asynchronous bouncing, let alone deal with an enormous influx of spam, which surely they won't see coming. Hell I worked at an ISP as the sole Abuse department tech, and that was plenty bad enough at the time, but after something like this... makes me glad I quit.
Driving out to South Dakota is worse than sitting on a hot cattle iron. I grew up there myself, and I tell you, the casinos are an amazing break from the drab flat field after endless field.:P But in all honesty, the reason Deadwood is such a run down little dump is probably because the only people that live there that DON'T work in the casinos, blow all their money in them.
Also South Dakota has a few reservations... so that also makes a lot of sense.
I've had much success with "internet dating", but it seems to depend on where I live. When I lived in Houston the girls were plentiful and fun. Living in Des Moines is a completely different story. The only ones I get replies from here are trollish freaks that probably couldn't get a date if they didn't post fake pictures of some model, or at least some hot chick from down the street. I'm still amazed at the enormous differences in both quality and quantity of women from the online world between the two cities.
One person flips their nut thinking someone was talking about intelligent design and someone else then assumes that everyone else assumed the same thing he did - that the original poster was an intelligent design advocate - but they probably didn't so stfu.

There are a few other services that have a great potential for abuse (ip-relay being one) and DO get abused... but they're still around.

Says who? Your opinion means nothing to me.

If it works, I envision much spam and rooting originating from German end users' machines.

I can't say I know anyone that has been to any prison that allowed conjugal visits...
Which is exactly why the "war on drugs" is bullshit.

Chances are some 300 lb troll will scathe you.

What is this NBA you speak of? Sports discussions have no place on slashdot thank you. :P Seriously though, I'm not following your comment very well...
I think you mean trade-off. I wouldn't consider losing your privacy any kind of payoff.

See you can't even READ about it unless you've got money... so it starts...
Is it a whole different ballgame from a company stealing another's software, slapping a new name on it, and selling it for an arm and a leg?
