Many partially correct theoretical arguments ruined by a lack of observation.
Electricy, gas, broadband are "natural monopolies"? Please explain how come I have 4 available electricity providers, 2 gas and 4 broadband?
Whenever you're told:
There remain only two possible avenues to keep American broadband relevant in the world: we can have the government take over and deploy and administer all broadband networks, as a public trust; or we can create co-ops, where all of the customers are also co-owners of the system that serves them.
you know it's time to look for another way.
I'm in France, the monopolies are broken by government regulation of private provision - the old monopoly providers (Electricte de France, Gaz de France, France Telecom) are forced by European law to allow non-discriminatory access to their networks.
The crappy American system seems to come about because your regulatory bodies have no balls, or are in the pockets of the providers. Americans appear not to understand that there is no market capitalism without competition and there is never free competition without regulation.
Yup, good example.
Not.

Testing 2.6.27-rc2 with the current released (not development) BIOS on the Foxconn G33M reveals the following:
There are no ACPI errors on boot, other than the (irrelevant) OEMB table (there are in previous kernels, stuff's clearly been fixed in.26 or so. Can't really be bothered digging through to find out what)
The system fails to reboot if it has been suspended and resumed. The fix is three lines long, one of which is a comment and one of which is blank.
The system is otherwise perfectly stable.
Summary: Almost all problems caused by bugs in Linux, one problem caused by BIOS vendors interpreting the ACPI specification differently to the Linux implementation and trivially worked around. No sabotage.
Yes indeedy. The government wants to promote fear in order to influence the public. Now, what do we call that? Yup, there are terrorists out there after all. And some of them are even hiding in bunkers!
In other words: because he tried to go easy on her, hundreds of people are complaining that her rights are being trampled.
No, because he abused his power.He has no right to punish her for behavior outside school hours. He can sue, but it is up to someone else (judge, jury, whatever) to decide guilt and punishment.
IS-IS is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) meaning that it is intended for use within an administrative domain or network. It is not intended for routing between Autonomous Systems (RFC 1930), a job which is the purpose of an Exterior Gateway Protocol, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
So not many people are going to be using IS-IS instead of BGP
xample: I'm pretty sure it can be done via the GUI, but the only way I know how to find my IP address is via ifconfig
Right click on the network manager applet (the two computers together if you're wired or the blue staircase if you're wireless) then click "connection information".
Something about the article itself. There is that saying (you don't have to agree, but still): "Ubuntu on the desktop, Debian on the server"
Appart from the background colour I don't see how you could tell them apart.
But it isn't FT that's leading broadband installation. They have the installed copper, but the government have forced them to rent it out to other ISPs at rates low enough they can make money.
FT didn't install ADSL-2 first, they're playing catch-up with Free and Neuf.
FT only started planning to install fiber when Free announced they were going to do it.

Argument for security by obscurity?
You'd prefer to roll your own security, rather than using defined and documented standards?
TLS is easy for determined hackers to break because it's defined and documented?
THE ROAD NETWORK IS NOT SECURE
So we can't transfer money by road?

A government that wants you to be afraid in order to change your behavior is a terrorist government.
The guy in the bunker is called Dick, not Osama.

Hoho - look at the filename: http://banking.senate.gov/public/_files/latestversionAYO08C32_xml.pdf
They write the law in XML now.
(Slashdot please not - I am not a fucking cowboy and I do not want to slow down).
Yeah, they should use git. We could refer to laws by their hash.
Uh, given that the smiley face is Dryco's logo a DMCA takedown is the last thing I'd worry about. Now a pocket chainsaw...

Uh, webkit != process per window.
And process per window != bloat. (Learn how VM works).
I think you'd better have another look at the costs of the national identity register - "a few million" isn't what you're talking about there.

2007 US GDP: 13,843,825 million USD
2007 DE GDP: 3,322,147 million USD
(nominal GDP, from the IMF, via Wikipedia).
So DE has 1/4 the US GDP, not 1/2.
Uh, the government can't "feel" anything.
but the population can.
So, explain France?
No government push for broadband (after the cable-tv catastrophe)
ADSL-2+ for EUR 30 more or less everywhere
30mbit->100mbit cable internet in the big cities
50mbit->100mbit (symetric) fiber going in all over the place (for 30-40 EUR/month)
Answer: a free market. The only rules the government is enforcing are the anti-trust rules.
but
So it isn't "capitalism pure and simple", it's monopoly capitalism. And state protected monopoly capitalism at that.
You guys want to have a look at how this stuff can work when you have real competition rather than the US system of "Socialism for corporations".
Wonder why they didn't mention Shooting Back?
It's a WMD if you want to pretend the bad guys of the hour are trying to get it. It's legit if we or our "allies" have it.
What is this "bus queue" of which you talk? How can one jump it if it does not exist?
Neither, of course, do the Argentinians.
