Junkbuster? Just a thought it's what I use at home because there is some stuff I just think my 5 year old is not ready for yet. But it should be open and transparent this is my problem with the commercial systems.
But they are charging us the parents to set these things up in the form of taxes and in fact they ar e chargning all people who pay taxes so yes we should have a right to complain about what they do with the connection. Now I thank those of you who do have children for helping to pay the cost of my kids education I understand that I'm not in this alone. But I think we should either be given a cut of the money that is made from my children's use of a connection that we have paid for.
""Prior to the news articles that were recently published, we believed that Class Clicks was a commonly used market research service," reads the
February letter from W.S. Sellman, the Pentagon's director of accession policy." That one Simpson's episode where they started using the school as a big focus group was supposed to be funny and point out that doing such things was a *bad* idea. It would seem some people in the government think this is normal and as long as many other people are doing it so should they. Anybody have good links to home school resources?
I was thinking somewhere in the USA Northwest. I just don't like all that sun and heat and the pests. But then again I'm indoors %90 of the time anyway. In any case I'd be in. Maybe Canada would be willing to sell us Vancouver *that* would rule.
What Joe Haldeman book took you 48 hours? I finished both Forever Peace and Forever Free in well under that. About 24. If there is another longer one please let me know I'd like to read it. And you are right Joe rocks!
I'm working on the thought that you are talking about Nvidia here and if so you are wrong. While I *really* wish that the drivers where open the simple fact is the current GNU/Linux drivers work as well or better than the current winders drivers. Other than that really the rest of your post made no sense whatsoever.
Cookiecutters they would work better and not be nearly as messy and we should give them to the "elected" people to same conditions.:) If you don't get the above go read "The Diamond Age" and then talk to me.
Yup, The training was cool now you get to learn why people are paid to go to work it is because you would not do most of it because it is fun. Just be glad you have something to put on your resume. Work can be fun but most of it is not that is what home is for. Sounds like a good program to me.
the archives the archives have no source they are not code. They are going to make them "free". I would guess under a license that does not make the public domain but it is not open source by definition open source is code. Sorry but this has been bugging me for a long time.
I would like to hear from Rob on this but I'm guessing he took a big chunk of the cash that was paid for/. and put it in a house and a bank account. (He seems like the type to do this) and living in Holland odds are he has more than enough cash to get by for a *long* time. Also I've gotta think that/. is not doing to badly due to the number of page hits.
Are you sure you have to sell something to do a trademark? Does not sound right to me but working on that assumption and for some reason you dont want to burn CDs set up a SSL server somewhere put copies of all your stuff on it and charge people to get access to it and download from it. Of course all of it would be there in the public archive but you would be trying to sell access to your for_pay server and would be a commercial enity. In few of the fact that this , for obvious reasons, would be a low volume site and you would maybe not *really* care if people got access to it it should be cheap and easy to maintain.:)
This is the second time in the last year that I have thought Hatch did something right. Now don't get me wrong I'm still glad that I voted against him but this is just plain odd....
0. Nice old style troll. 1. Debian does *not* refuse to include non-free software it goes in non-free you then choose to use non-free or not when you install (and can of course always change this choice by editing one text file after the fact) If you don't know what non-free means in that context odds are you are not going to get Debian up and running without the help of someone who does. 2. Debian is not about getting users. It is about a good solid easy to maintain stable distro that is good for the people who use it. For the most part the people who maintain Debian do so for the same reason a butcher sharpens his knives. If you don't understand think about it for a minute. 3. Get a sense of humor. That was a *funny* line.
This is interesting and could work out the way you predict but I don't think so for a number of reasons. Very easy to go after Napster. Not so easy to go after thousands of people running opennap servers. Most are up and down in any case. And you are right no one opennap server can match napster but there are *many* more of them not as easy to do it that way but more robust and at the end of the day more resources for everyone. IMHO.
The OpenNap servers are *very* good. I don't think I've used a Napster server for several months now. Grab gnapster and get this and you are good to go.
is the best/most effective argument to get non-techie types to understand that the computer/internet is just another form of media and should be treated just like we would books/video/magazines?

I'm not sure if this is the smallest but it does rock and it is *very* small.
is there anything it can't do?

I thought you are gay? :)
I would kill Jim Alchin's mother for a mod point to give to this. :)

Who cares? If they don't want it to be used by the public maybe they should put a password on it.
