Here in the uk where theres lots of worry abuot mobiles, we still ahvent decided if a hands free kit (mike/earphone) is better, worse or makes no difference.
So you live without morals. Stealing cable doesnt cost the network any extra. Going to a website without paying costs that website more money (bandwidth) then it would pay had you not gone.
How about bypassing the web, heres a few ideas:
Peer to peer. Pay your normal web connection fee, but instead of lots of static sites, run everything on free pseudo-webs via p2p
Wireless network your neighborhood. Club together for a leased line or directioned wireless to a neiboring one. Recreate the internet.
Move to a freer country, like france, argentina or china.
Revolt. Many slashdotters are in charge of the backbone. Strike - and watch the net tumble. Seriously, if air traffic controllers can stike, and garbage haulers can strike, isnt it about time that sysadmins went on strike? It wouldnt take long for the backbones to start crumbling. Instead of striking for more money though, strike for freedom.
It's sadly true. I got stopped in the corridoor at uni a few weeks ago - just moved into summer accomodation. I was wearing a thinkgeek tshirt, and somone asks me out of the blue if I knew about computers. I didnt say no:(
Friends are bad enough (why's my computer slow, I downloaded [spyware of the week], now it doesnt work. look FREE!! I need bonzai buddy!)
And when they use my computer its always moans about why websites dont work in konqueror and how my computer is broken cause theres no start button.
And virtual desktops with screen flop resitense real low? LOL!
But friends you tollerate. Near strangers bugging you thoug, sheesh!
To be honest, I couldnt care less what you think. I use enlightenment - nice pretty effects, virtual desktop (ctrl-shift-left/right/up/down). Laptop used wmaker as e is too slow. My girlfriend likes kde. I use afterstep at uni as it makes a change.
We dont need one desktop. We dont need one distro. We dont need one operating system. You use BSD? I dont care. Use windows? Fine. use a mac? Great.
What we do need is open API's and file formats. Then when you install acrobat, it calls WindowManager.AddProgram("Acrobat", INSTALL_DIR, "acrobrat");. Then your window manager can choose what to do with that.
We need standard api's, so if you like GTK, acrobat calls a function - drawToolbar() - you get a GTK toolbar. If you switch to QT, then acrobat calls drawToolbar(), QT draws a toolbar.
standards API's with many implementations. Hell you could set up different programs to run in different toolkits using different apis. As a user.
I'd also have it that commercial companies can implement the standard API's in a closed api. As long as the interface is available, who cares, you arent forced to use it.
Forcing everyone run OfficialLinux v1.0 is no better then forcing everyone to run windows.
If you want united, focused development, you need to write your own OS, complete with a license forbidding people from deviating from your ideas. Of course, I don't imagine too many other people will join you...

Truth is often the most devious of lies.
Truth is just an excuse for a lack of imagination
Go go gadget google

I like that, thanks

[imagine 'slashdotted' in morse here]
Why imagine when you can
dit dit dit, dit daw dit dit, dit daw, dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit, daw dit dit, daw daw daw,
daw, daw, dit, daw dit dit, daw dit dit dit daw,
But the possibilies could include telneting...
Flaw in your plan. Telnet usually requires bi directional data transfer, what keyboards have that capability via LED?
Personally I love java, its great. Most people here will come up with "its slow" or something.
But even in java you have swing and awt, for starters,

I dont know, a lot of people use winders
Oh, thanks for that, I guess I'd better buy a copy of windows then.
and it'll always be like that, unless I forgo apt-get for the next 2 years so that sid now = sarge now.
I've gone to the dark side, and wont be going back. Still, kde3...
Sid will never freeze. The next release will be named "Sarge".
Is sarge the same as sid is now? or the same as woody is, then is built on? I'm running sid at the moment, if I change to sarge will i be downgrading?
screw that, my entire 15,000 university goes thorugh 3 proxys!
Limiting the number of posts per day is censoring. What was wrong with them hidden at -1??
No, its not. They can still post as an anonymous coward.
Limiting posts per ip, however, is bad.

Wouldnt it be cool to shout [b]coolant leek! We've got a coolant leek! Everyone out, lets go go go, and dive under a closing door?

Am I the only one who read that story and had eyes glazing over at all the captial letters an numbers?
so if you've ever wanted to play Halo eight stories high
No, not really
However imagine nethack at that size!
I wonder what the use by date is
It had a clock speed of 7.14 MHz, or 0.000714 GHz.
7.14MHz = 0.00714GHz. You wrote 714kHz

Your comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter. Try less whitespace and/or less repetition. Comment aborted.Wasn't the 68000 asynchronous?
No, it was so slow it just seemed that way.
