You had 56K? NOT.

No one ever had 56K, no one. If you got over 50, you were doing good.

On: Bill Gates: Windows 95 Was 'A High Point'

No, he was just talking about general overall usability of the software.

It's really true these days that there are many free (money and/or libre) software applications that are just more user-friendly and more supported than a proprietary revenue-driven equivalent application.

There are still exceptions, but for a lot of users, they can save money and hassle using a free version over a commercial version.

I always look for the free application first if it will do the job, because it will likely create way less headaches.

Now, *converting* is a whole 'nother can o' worms.

And maybe they don't let it follow normal traffic flows because they are routing it through numerous routers that are doing DPI (Deep Packet Inspection).

Good point. Besides, it really gets down to the judges not buying the administrations bullshit, no matter what Congress says.

So, yes, it is a sham, to coerce the Judiciary.

Re:I got $5 on fail, anyone want some?

On: Senate Proposal To Clarify 'State Secrets' Doctrine

No, you can't fix the mess created over the last 7 years in one year, but the administration is not worried about fixing anything anyway.

That is a given. But the corrupt administration is stepping in their own cowpies, and timing is everything.

Do you really think they will attack the American Citizens again?

Yeah, I know, dumb question.

Re:And yet...

On: FBI Wants Authority To Filter Net Backbone

Bullshit. The government is already involved too much, but the underlying cause of the problem is the in-secure windows machines.

It is *BY DESIGN* that windows machines are in-secure, in order for the fascist darkside to take over.

The have created a problem, and now they want to 'manage' the solution. The oldest trick known to man.
