Do you seriously believe that he didn't consult with a lawyer before he wrote this? True, he does have the balls to write the letter himself, and send it himself, but I would be surprized to learn that no lawyers were involved here.
Bees really aren't that unusual. My father kept bees, and the easiest way to get new bees is to (surprise) mail order them. So we'd get about 1000 bees in the mail when he started a new hive. Of course, we had to go pick them up, and the workers were always very glad when we arrived.
Does anyone else remember when Jon Katz didn't care about politics at all? Or at least thought there was no difference between the major candidates in the election? Here are some refreshers to get you going:
Beer is the greatest invention on Earth. Just stop drinking that megaswill budmilloors and have some homebrew or go buy some good beer. geez, what an uninformed opinion.
Well, there is quite a difference between government acting as a law enforcement agency, and government providing services to its people. My privacy is not invaded when the government builds a subway so I can get to work easily. My privacy isn't invaded when laws protecting my safety at my workplace are enacted. Ralph Nader sees these as duties of a humane and responsable government. So do I. Ralph Nader is a large privacy advocate, and without doubt, would be against such things as expressed in this bill.
I have a hard time seeing how libritarians can think that any government interaction is bad, and it should all be reduced to zero. There are good reasons for the government to have social programs, especially for those things that the "free market" has shown it cannot consistently provide. Who do you think paid for rural electrification? Who was the first to do free rural delivery of mail? (Even though it WAS at the bidding of mail-order companies) The government does good things, and should be steered in that direction. Shrinking it as libritarians would like will only cause disaster.
I just don't know who to respond to on the thread. So I'm making my own. Everyone go to Dresden, Germany. Besides being a beautiful city, they have updated all of their street car lines to the most modern, coolest sounding things out there. And they really can book sometimes! (Especally on the long ride out to Klotzsche) They're reliable, fast, and easy to use. And oh so quiet!
For netscape at least, different profiles can be set up, what if the pages that a particular profile views were somehow stored locally in something the profile's owner couldn't delete easily? (histories in browsers are simple to get rid of) Then schools could just grep the file for bad sites, parents could look only at children, and know what pages they looked at as opposed to only knowing someone in the family looked at it, and all of it would be attached to a name, and it would be LOCAL on the computer! Schools might be required to install this, but parents could pick something like this up if they wanted to.
This does not prohibit me from puttin any notes
I take up on the web for free. If you buy the notes because you're not going to class, chances are you'll be out of the school pretty fast. If you are buying notes because you prefer not to take any, then that is fine. You should be able to find friends to share notes with you if you go to class, though.
He told Larry that for a software company to remain a good software company, they must focus only on software. Later in the show Bill brought out an electronic book the MS was developing. Gee, I thought to my self, that's hardware. This X-box thing is also hardware.
Is Bill trying to tell us something? Maybe Microsoft just can't do anything well...
hmmm, maybe this wasn't clear in the first post
Internal Network = university's internal network
pretty sweet connection = university's connection
homebrew = homemade beer, is there a better kind?
Really, why aren't more geeks into brewing? Any geek house in my book should have facilities for brewing a 20 gallon batch at least, at best a microbrewery in the basement.
Just find your local good univiersity and hang out
in the dorms. It helps if your a student of course.
I have found a like minded individual or two here at Carnegie Mellon, and we're sharing an internal network. We even got a pretty sweet connection to the rest of the internet too! Hey, they even like to home brew, just like me!
Personally, I have my computer render a new xplanet image every 10 minutes, and that takes enough ram for me. I have a HUGE picture of the earth, though.
It's better to use ram to do BFS to figure out how to beat your friends when playing connect four or the like:)

I hope they didn't do a linear search starting at A!
And I would like to take credit for making that wonderful site. Here is another link to it, incase you're really lazy.

The Last Days of Politics
Gee, Jon, why the sudden change to a heavy pro-Gore choice? Chances are he'd do much of this same stuff!
