  1. Re:Regulation and Taxes will happen on The Internet-Have We Reached A Turning Point? · · Score: 1

    Taxes are also inevitable. They should be lower than for bricks and mortar, but they are necessary for cities, counties, and states to pay for basic services such as roads (used by UPS to deliver your goods), rail (ditto), airports (ditto), police (to arrest the fraud mongsters), jails (to lock up the Free Net activists in), and courts (to find them guilty and protect the monied interests from having their credit cards stolen).

    Uh. how much of your taxes do you really think goses to infrastructure? Less than 5%. Your supporting social programs, bud.

  2. Re:Whats with the hype? on Diablo II Beta Sign-Up Monday · · Score: 1

    Actually, i was very dissapointed in tourment... but then, i was expecting it to be another baldur's gate (which it wasn't). But I don't think diablo is very comparable to other "d&d" type RPGs... Hell, nothing compares to the games that black isle puts out...

  5. what's the diff? on Replies from Slackware Founder Patrick Volkerding · · Score: 1

    well, myself, i've played around a bit with red hat, but i really don't know all that much about *nix os's. What are the major differences between red hat and slackware, or other distribution... what makes one better than another?

  6. Re:Ugh, Praise of Mediocrity on Spielberg To Direct New Kubrick Movie · · Score: 1

    heh, think what you want, but the truth is, if speilberg wasn't more than 'ok', then how does he have so much money. He has do be doing something right....
