We believe that constant tinkering in a free market is unnecessary. If these social programs are important, then there will be a market demand for the services they provide. The more important a program is, the more demand there will be for the service, and the more people will pay for said service.
There are a few exceptions to this rule, but I'd say 99% of it the free market can take care of.
Besides, you seem to have way too much faith in your legislators. They don't have staffers doing research into anything except getting reelected. They don't give a fuck about anything but that.
Well, my counter-argument to that would be that the program is not as important, if people really don't care about it.
Part of the problem with our current government spending is pork barrel programs that only benefit a tiny subset of the population in the reps district. This wouldn't happen anymore, and elected reps couldn't use such de facto bribes to get reelected.
If the cause was important enough, a small minority has a way of being vocal, that would draw attention to them nationally, and get them funding.
The average taxpayer simply would not be willing, or able, to evaluate all of the places that his/her donation could go and would, in the end, pick one or two favorite causes
I don't like you or the government assuming that I am incapable of allocating my own money.
To assume that is basically arguing for socialism.
I agree that it's best to cite the original source, but when CNET licensed their content to yahoo, they could only assume that people would see it there.
It's not as if people are copying the whole article and posting it in the comments here....
It looks like they put some of the linuxconf functionality into the "setup" program, which is a front end to various things that get run during an anaconda run.
Well, yes and no, how could a proxy work with non-ICANN roots?
It will try to resolve the address in the GET line, and fail, because it doesn't know about other TLDs.
The only way to fix this broken proxy behavior is to have it ignore GET lines that is can't resolve, and instead forward the request intact to the IP address.
Businesses make use of their Telecom systems far more and place much higher demands on reliability and uptime than residental customers. This, in turn, adds necessary expenses towards servicing a business account, as opposed to a residential account.
This is where it all falls down, and is also why my original post is valid.
These people yelling the loudest on Slashdot want a dedicated 1 Mbit pipe to run servers on, with 100% uptime, for less than a tenth of what it really costs to get that. It's unrealistic whining.
The flyback itslef isn't very dangerous, it would sure wake you up, but the amperage isn't enough to kill you. Once you start putting capacitors on the HV source though, you will have enough to vaporize fingers and stop hearts easily.
Just thought I'd be more graphic than the other warning people, because that is the kind of effects we are talking about with 25KV at more than a few milliamps.
Look at it this way, it's a very intelligent move.
Hollings gets tons of flak from geeks over the SSSCA, so he throws us a bone, by virtually guaranteeing that people that run open source OSs will be exempt.....
I have two possible endings to this message:
a) Then later on after we let them get one more foot into the door, they start teghtening down little by little.
b) This is all they want anyway, 99% of the users won't circumvent it, and if any of the other 1% causes a problem by creating something to let the other 99% easily bypass (or being too outspoken about something), they have the DMCA to shoot that person/company down with.
Yep, and also, I have a multimeter and a piece of ESD foam right here. (God I'm a geek), and it measures 30,000-100,000 ohms depending on how close you put the probes to each other.
I can't believe how many TOTALLY IGNORANT posts there are in this article.

try the following:

www.allelectronics.com
www.alltr
www.meci.com
www.sciplus.com
www.fair
but equally important programs would be harmed.

Oh wait.
I'm not sure of the intent of your post, but I was referring to this quote in the article:
Some of the movies found haven't yet been released to video, including "The Lord of the Rings," "Training Day" and "Ali."
--
These likely movie-theater-camcorder copies are probably where the MPAA gets off talking about "inferior products".
From the article:
Some of the movies found haven't yet been released to video, including "The Lord of the Rings," "Training Day" and "Ali."
How else are they going to get them.
Because they were probably filmed by someone sitting in a theater with a camcorder.
Of course, if you want freedom, and real development in space technology in the private sector, elect a Libertarian.
How is it pronounced? Lee-ter
Your spelling would have it pronounced Lee-tree.
Besides, it's not the first time a spelling morphed when a word was adapted from another country, I don't see why anyone would lose sleep over it.
What do you do with a whole GB of porn each day? Who goes through it and deletes the crap and dupes?
It looks like they put some of the linuxconf functionality into the "setup" program, which is a front end to various things that get run during an anaconda run.
Try typing "setup" on a 7.2 box.

And where are you going to buy your internet connection from? Especially if you want to provide each customer with 500Mbits/sec dedicated.
Keep in mind the original poster said he wanted 1Mbit/sec (basically) dedicated, to run servers on.
I have a black cat I think is evil and possessed. I think I will use this mothod on him to rid him of the evil spirits and cast them into the aethers.
Oh wait, you said exErcising.
Take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.?
Playing devil's advocate:
It was our carelessness that introduced the rats there, so there is some justification.

That's because I AM a big ass!
Where would you put it? The evaporators we have now are already pretty efficient in exchanging heat.

Uh, wrong, try again.
Where did you find this "fact", the encyclopedia retardica?
Alumina, i.e. sapphires et al, have high thermal conductivity, and yet are almost total insulators. QED.
Please, please, try to check your facts. We all make mistakes, but I have seen so many totally wrong posts in this article that it is depressing me.
They need to make a "-1 Totally wrong" moderation up just for you.
