Just so hollow and ineffectual, for the most part, is our ordinary conversation. Surface meets surface. When our life ceases to be inward and private, conversation degenerates into mere gossip. We rarely meet a man who can tell us any news which he has not read in a newspaper, or been told by his neighbor; and, for the most part, the only difference between us and our fellow is that he has seen the newspaper, or been out to tea, and we have not. In proportion as our inward life fails, we go more constantly and desperately to the post-office. You may depend on it, that the poor fellow who walks away with the greatest number of letters, proud of his extensive correspondence, has not heard from himself this long while.
Run the damn test so the FCC can rape comcast and FIOS already so we get the speeds we are paying for!
Aren't you optimistic. Chances are they'll just use this information to redefine broadband as anything faster than the lowest 10% of respondents. Then they can claim that 90% of Americans have broadband without doing any work at all. But maybe I'm just cynical.
The point of my post was that this law doesn't take us any further down the Nanny State road, because there are already far more draconian laws. By pointing out that drug laws are even stricter, you have strengthened my argument. Thanks.
Bigotry is believing that some people are better than others because they belong to certain groups. e.g. blacks are better than whites, heterosexuals are better than homosexuals, etc. Patriotism is just bigotry applied to your country. e.g. Americans are better than Russians. (Some would suggest that I really mean "nationalism" here, but in practice there is no difference.) Racism, sexism, patriotism, etc, all divide the world into "us" and "them", and make it easier to turn us against them. The world would be better off without any of these.
I'd imagine at this point that the number of young people without a computer is pretty negligible. But anyway, I wouldn't argue that radio as a medium isn't a good medium. It's that our corporate controlled radio essentially makes it impossible for any real works of art to appear on the radio.
The government already tells me I cannot eat products made with cannabutter. I cannot eat psilocybin mushrooms. I cannot eat pieces of paper impregnated with LSD. The law in question here only affects restaurants that serve the public. Drug laws regulate my blood stream. There is no slippery slope here, we're already at the bottom.
So, a man who does not intentionally do anything wrong--no malice aforethought--deserves to be stripped of effective self-defense tools for the rest of his life? Because of a lapse of judgment that will already be haunting him for the rest of his life?
His right to self defense does not override our right to be safe from negligent idiots. He's already shown himself to be too irresponsible to handle a gun. This is one area where it's not ok to learn from your mistakes. You must think ahead about the consequences of your actions. He was unable to do that, and it cost a life. No second chances.
Frankly, I don't think Civ4 was much of a jump forwards in terms of Civ games.
It was not. It was a return to form after the turd that was Civ III. Still not up to the greatness that was Civ II. IMO, the best thing they could do is re-release Civ II with better graphics.
I do the same thing frequently. I've noticed a weird thing with my configuration. When I'm working through the tunnel, with DNS requests forwarded through the tunnel, and I go to a non-existent domain my ISP (cox) hijacks my NXDOMAIN and serves up a search page (with ads, obv). When I'm at home, I get NXDOMAIN just fine. Can't figure that one out.
Yes, but by whom? I really doubt NewEgg would try to pull something like this. Their reputation is the only thing that separates them from any number of other online parts sellers.
Of course while you're sitting there not eating, your heart isn't really doing any work either. So while you may not get fat this way, it's still not healthy. In fact, you're probably better off being a little overweight and getting exercise than you are thin and sedentary.

I'd agree with that. If you're not going to use the command line, there's not much point in using Linux anyway.
Henry David Thoreau said it best 150 years ago:
Apparently I'm a High School graduate in my late 70s living in a million dollar house in southern california.

More so, how badly do you need a phone at all? You are a student. Is there some higher obligation that requires you to have mobile accessibility

But what if he has a pointed stick?
Apples and oranges, one is a health risk, one isn't.
Which one is it?! Who knew picking from the fruit basket would be like playing russian roulette?
And you believed that? That site reeks of alternative medicine quackery. Get back to us with a peer reviewed paper.
That may be true. Still doesn't change the fact that there's nothing but shit on the radio.

I think the only purpose of radio is to destroy artistic integrity.
That was Nick Mason.
I have yet to hear anything resembling artistic integrity on the radio.

I usually have my credentials in ssh-agent, but I think I've been prompted for a password after hitting tab before.

Why sftp when you can scp? scp -r has worked fine for recursive transfers, and Bash has been tab completing remote filenames for a while now.
Anywhere you could put a keyboard you could also put a screen. Slide out keyboard => slide out screen. Dual screens!
There is a lot to be said for tactile feedback though.
But if you ditch a physical keyboard you can use that to increase your screen real estate.
