I'm gonna be a troll here and point out that the.gov DID own Conrail. It was a federal bail out of Northeastern Railroads because the.gov realized that having rail transportation was necessary, but not necessarilly profitable. Hence they bailed out 5 or so major railroads and many more smaller ones.
20 years after it's creation it had turned it around and proved that Northeastern rail transportation could be profitable and was bought and split between two privately owned railroads, Norfolk Southern and CSX.
Thats our railroad history lesson for today folks. Next time maybe I'll talk about AMTRAK.
And the worst part about it, is that for the 5 mins I turned it on to see the white stripes, I was incredibly disappointed. They totally made them into pop shite, I think it's the dancers that did it. Why does MTV think everything is better with dancers?
I know alot of people that use AIM that aren't AOL users. It's kinda the defacto standard for students at my school. I know a few people on ICQ, but the majority are on AIM, and I hate using two clients, so AIM gets it. Plus, my parents and family are also on it, and have never, and will never been AOL users. It's ashame that people don't seperate the product from the company.
Hey, if you still use aol, you're getting what you deserve. If you don't like it, don't use AOL. I don't know why anyone would want to anymore anyway. It's a scary thing how much of the web AOL controlls, they should probably change their name to WOL (World On Line).
I think that the anon is right. We, as a community need to defend Gnutella from the millionaire Rockstars, and the sue crazy lawyers. Especially the ones that don't understand the technology. They must be stopped, before the Internet becomes as bad as TV.
When will the federal government get off Bill, and start barking up AOL/Netscape/Time Warner/The World's tree. You want to talk about monopolies, and dangerously large companies? Now there's one to talk about.

Wankers.
I go to UMBC, and I never even heard about it. How does that happen?

But the real question is... how many of these will it take to power a Pentium IV?
I think there was a movie or something with a plot just like that.
This'd be so true, if you signed it "George Dubya Bush." Then again, it might be that I'm drunk. I don't know.
Just a question, if AOL and Netscape are in the sack together, why does AOL use IE? Hmm... there might be something there.
