I notice that gun nut / 2nd amendment users are always screwing off looking gun websites when not wasting time talking about guns. Normal non-gun nut people don't usually waste time looking at anti gun websites. So there.
I was challenging the totally absurd assertion he made about industrial revolutions shortening the work week.
During and well after the industrial revolution people were working 16 hour days. It was a huge struggle to get the 40 hour work week we have today. Of course that's been slowly demolished.
Cable modems can go 10Mb/sec upstream and downstream. The capping is artificial, but does reflect real concerns about bandwidth management on a large shared network - obviously they can't give everyone 10Mb up and down.
Historically, industrial revolutions have reduced the average workweek by 15-20%.
Uh, what history are you smoking? he "work week" skyrocketed with the industrial revolution. What on earth are you talking about? Is this what they're teaching in schools now, or have you been listening to Rush Limbaugh a little too much lately?
Newsflash: the rich have been getting richer, but so has everybody else. Even the poorest Americans today are living far better than years before.
Really? Care to cite some figures? You could at least have the decency to pull some out of your ass, besides quoting the same crap everyone can hear on Fox or AM radio.
Let's see, rising unemployment, less benefits, lower salaries, longer work weeks, no job security... yeah, everyone's getting richer.
Another "republican in denial." What is amazing is that you folks have the gall to call yourselves "conservatives." You are feudalists.
Thus has to be the stupidest, most juvenile piece-of-shit response possible. There were possible smart responses to this, but yours is simply not one of them.
You are describing even more why the RIAA sucks. The problem is the Justin Timberlakes and Brittany Spears of the world, no talent pieces of shit that should be flipping burgers, not making millions of dollars. Their promotion abilities - the heart of their power - are the scourge of artists everywhere.
Actually, if you live in an older home (with poor electrical wiring), have bad power service, or have very high ceilings, you probably spend a good deal of time changing them. Ever changed a light bulb in a fixture on a 16' ceiling? It's a pain in the ass. I'd say my light bulbs last about a month, tops.
Well, this article seems pretty stupid, but if you can't stop drinking beer and have a weight problem, you might try stout, it's very low in calories and alchohol. Guinness or Beamish are about 350 calories a pint and only ~3% alchohol, believe it or not. Google for the proof, I'm feeling lazy...
You really have no clue as to what's going on in the world, do you?
When the US sets up a puppet government, that government sells the country's land to US companies and multi-nationals. He secures huge IMF loans that specify what the country can grow; they turn from a subsistence economy to an export economy. They go into debt. They grow coffee instead of rice and beans. This is why the third world is fucked and no one can eat. Wake up. This has happened all over South and Central America. This is the real point of NAFTA, CAFTA, and the FTAA.
"Give a man a fish..."
bullshit.
What's happening is that they are being ordered to "not fish", and to make shit they do not need and sell it to people elsewhere.
They don't need food, they need the goddamn multinationals to stop buying their lands from their corrupt governments and for the IMF to stop telling them what they can and can't grow.
Sometimes I wonder where all these "disorders" are coming from. We seem to get a new one every month or so. I doubt most of these "disorders" are problems at all, more likely our culture is so fucked up and favors only certain personality types or behaviours which some people cannot cope with.
But that may not need to happen. It depends on how much the ISP's ISPs play ball with them. If places like MCI (aka UUNet) don't play ball, then we're home free. Heck, if everyone in the world shuts me down, I can still form a neighborhood association for Internet use and get a dedicated line from UUNet. Remember that anyone who a) has routed connectivity to an IP network and b) has a modem set to answer incoming calls and c) has a pppd listening on the other side *is* an ISP!
Well true, but if we are reduced to an internet where only computer nerds have internet sites, then it becomes a pretty boring place, no?
You miss the whole point. They don't care about where you go or where you've been, because there won't be anyplace left to go, unless you want to buy something. When we finally have one or two ISP's left, they will of course have restrictions on running "servers" (as most of them indeed do now) and for the most part, only commercial entities will be able to have a presence.
This has nothing to do with the perversion of infrastructure - what you are writing about - which is a different problem altogether.
Iraq was wrinting the literature and the laws when villian Bush and his prostitue Blair were scratching around in caves. This infidel Hillary Rosen is not in Iraq! She is committing suicide outside the walls of Baghdad as I write this! May god roast the infidel whore's stomach in hell!

No, they can't "get around it" - this is all done by javascript (a bad idea in the first place), there isn't anything magical about it.

Nah, he would be making more sense if he was stoned. Bill Gates should get stoned.
what the hell are you doing with all those servers? 27? I would think you would have 1-3, not 27. That just seems ridiculous.
Yes, it is. Most of the time, it's worse.
They typically get plenty of public money to build those networks.
Capitalism is how they got where they are. This is imbecilic.
How is this a response to my post?

Typically, though a T1 is more reliable than HFC.

bull. what if the money had simply been spent on medical research, instead of being filtered through the military first? Ridiculous.

(I've given up and use lamps, actually).
Think of emacs as a OS inside of unix, it has it's own philosophy too.

almost ALL companies are anti competitive. Have you ever heard of anyone talking about being "fair to the competition"?
A monopoly is ani-competitive by definition, isn't it?

Perhaps because the US dropped thousands of tons of bombs on them? Google around. What the US did to Laos was absolutely unconscionable.
