Unless, that's who you work for. I doubt it though, since my experience is that Speakeasy is friendly with the subversive elements of the net. At the end of the day, I am willing to pay a premium to the ISP that gets off my fucking back.
The DMCA requires ISP's to takedown materials that are alleged to be infringing until the alleged infringer disputes the allegation. There's a whole messy procedure for the back and forth, and it favors the intital claim of infringment.
...it's so boring to build a personal, private manned rocket. Or to be the first men on the moon, for that matter. Bo-ring! I'd rather be doing something interesting like worshipping a monarch, or spewing cafe-communism drivel from my smelly, Euro-peon mouth hole.
...can you drill down on that some more? I'm not sure your belt-and-suspenders approach is going to work. We need to incentivize our people toward efficiencies, not overages.
Search the news archives on CNET for Apple. You'll see their consistent mac hatred and propogation of anti-Apple FUD for yourself. Passing along rumors that they read on thinksecret.com is just another way that CNET declares its indifference, laziness and stupidity about Apple.
While the Harry Potter-readers are oh-so-eager to push that crummy schlock (much like the Danielle Steele-readers, the John Grisham-readers, the Tom Clancy-reader, etc.), the anti-faction haven't said anything at all about what we read. In fact, I've read all of the above (which is how I know it sucks). What doesn't suck? I'm partial to Nicholson Baker for intelligent fiction, Ian M. Banks for my pet-genre sci-fi, and the my secretary has just this moment dropped the new Granta on my desk.
Please don't take this opportunity to tell me what you read. I'm merely making the point that you're wrong about the anti-faction and porn-mags.
I caught that too. It's great how you can click that link at the bottom (after reading a lot of hooey about the beta-status of Netscape support), and the site works perfectly in nearly any other browser.

When my girlfriend tried to log in to play her favorite time-wasting game, she saw this message and told me (again) that Macs suck. It's so nice to see Microsoft mind control at work in your very own home.
...not that I care -- after all, she's only a pied piper for simpletons that haven't read any real literature since twelfth grade.
A word of advice to people over fourteen (esp. males): Never recommend Harry Potter books to anyone, and never freely admit having read them. Doing so, (1) reveals your lack of intellectual sophistication, (2) hints at your inability to read books from start to finish (unless they are "For Dummies..." or nine-year-olds, and (3) makes you one of those annoying asswipes that insists that everyone read the all-seeing, all-knowing work of infinite philisophical importance that is the last book you managed to complete (mostly).
For those being offered Harry Potter recommendations, the polite response is "fuck off, twit".
I trashed IE 5.2 and installed Mozilla 1.0. Now, my network configuration has mysterious flipped out and pulls down "255.255.255.255" for every DHCP field from my hub. Gee, I wonder which application manipulated my system preferences to cause that?
They were thinking it would work on Macs, which is what it does, and it does it well. When are you going to learn that Steve Jobs doesn't want grubby little nerd whiners like you in his club?
I agree. Toshiba's device isn't meant to steal Apple's thunder. It's just going to fill the enormous gaps outside iPod's market. I mean, what Apple user would buy the Toshiba? Also, Firewire and a kick-ass OS is still an advantage over USB2.0 and another goddamn confusing, cheap-o OS with a dolphin screen saver.
I know you've rescinded this comment elsewhere (because the builder decides whether VISE kills other apps), but I do have to point out that MS chose to package the install with VISE, despite the fact that there are eight million other apps that don't need to. It's totally their fault. They're trying to make OS X look crappy.
...I've had the update installed for about two hours. In that time, I've noticed:
1) The installer requires you to quit all other apps. What is this, OS 9? Windows? Microsoft still doesn't get it. They give you the thing on a.dmg and then make you run an installer? What nasty files are they hiding from view?
2) It changes your homepage to msn.com. Nice touch. I'm *thrilled* by the first impression that this install is making so far... Makes you wonder what other prefs are being overwritten.
3) Within minutes of starting it up, I had the mother of all spinning beachball delays. It went on for over a minute. So much for being an improvement over the last crappy IE.
4) Text is now anti-aliased, as it has been with OmniWeb, et al. for what seems like years. Bogus.
That machine is ancient in Mac-time. You don't see me griping about not having HW acceleration on a Lombard do you? No, I went out and bought a DP 800 G4 so I could play too.
Why is it that you purchased a machine with a cripple mobile graphics card and then were surprised to discover its limitations?
It's frightening that people think this is funny. Not only are you pissing all over the dead Canadians' graves, but you're also taking a high moral ground that I doubt you can defend. When's the last time you did anything perfectly? Poster and mods: Get some perspective.
...here's an American thanking you for your hard work on my behalf. Cheers (and here's to a world where everyone pulls his own weight and doesn't bitch about it).
Care to back those claims up? I live in America. Better yet, I live in New York City. I learned in kidergarten that when people hurl insults at you, it is most often an indication that they want you to pay attention to them. In the case of Euro-peons, constant griping about Americans is displaced envy. It's rough being a loser, isn't it? Life sucks (for you).
The biggest joke of all is the Brits and continental Europeans that think Americans actually take this horseshit seriously. Americans are just making these movies to poke sticks in the eyes of pompous Old World jackasses, and we're laughing our asses off the whole time.
And wait...here's the best part...you show up at the theaters in droves to pay us money for maligning you.

I doubt you'll find a development environment that is as easy to use and as quick to learn as Flash is for mocking up applications and interfaces.
The online petition to oppose the new .Mac charges is available at here.
My 2 cents: The email accounts should remain free. The rest can be value-add fee-based.

Wouldn't dangling a poisonous spider over a flame cause it to climb up and bite you? Kinda undermines that "generous genius" attribution, no?

For OS X, I recommend David Pogue's Missing Manual.
