It's not that they are espousing clueless opinions. It's that they are being repeated ad nauseum as if it were true. We're talking folks who have the potential to get a lot more press that you or I could.
Not to be a troll, but what's the breakdown per service? Is ordb doing the heavy lifting? Or is spanhaus? If it's an even 33% aross the board, ok. But if ordb is only doing 1% of that 5000 then they're right, blocking relays is no longer effective.
After hearing about plan after plan, and seeing nothing come of it, you get jaded.
Right now I think that just about everyone in the USA is jaded when it comes to this stuff. The "gee-wizz" effect doesn't work any more and most people would rather deal with their iPods than fellow human beings.
I remember when they improved the error messages you get in Internet Explorer, or when they improved fonts in Windows with ClearType technology.
The little things are important, but not THAT important. Those are improvements, not innovations.
It's called the "I'll take two" syndrome.

And that's exactly how it works. You survey the market, users say "Sure, in fact I'd buy two if it were available today", you sweat over hot electrons to develop this widget and when you get it to market and no one responds.
I think your problem is that you are comparing the percentage difference in one gene (XX vs XY), then take the percentage difference of two whole genomes (Human vs Chimp)and presuming that the differences scale accurately. Someone should call the Analogy Police on this.
I'll take 10% of the total gross funds raised for this, please.
I mean if you're going to waste money....
Oh, I know. Award me the no bid IT contract. Since the thing will never open, I can keep all the cool stuff and sell the animatronic dinosaurs on eBay!
This is something I would have thought that the builders would have figured out. Also would it really be that bad? In the first place, I would think that the transport vehicle would be pretty darn fast at that point. Gravity would be less and the thing would gradually speed up as it neared the top.
P.S. Why wasn't this a main article?

Well actually, this is probably where Atari buried all those "ET" game cartridges.

Finding the bug is one thing. Being able to write a program that will successfully exploit it on a consistent basis is another.
But isn't that the same thing?
JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION DAMN IT!
I vote for the second one.
No, I'm not kidding.
Since they are taxing virtual goods, we'll pay with virtual money.
Even in the summary above it says "certain U.S. companies", not all U.S. companies.

At All.
We've all seen this happen at least one time.
. The guy will probably protest it though.

There also was that street fee thing, but I forget what that was all about. Sounds like the beginnings of a police state to me.

We know it won't fly apart from centrifugal force.
Gotta keep them lawyers busy.
Yes, i know that Vista is an OS, not an app.
They can control most, if not all, of what hardware is used by the motherboard. DRM? Sure, we can force that.

Hope he has some documentation to back up that claim.
That should be interesting.
