Hey, no offence taken, Prior. I hope my reply didn't come across as agressive.
I'm just struggling to understand how I'd been modded down to 0, Flamebait.
I'm glad there are open minded/.ers out there to balance out the reactionary moderators I've had the misfortune to be judged by.
I'm at home for the weekend now, where I do have to pay (yes a fairly low flat-rate, ok capped-rate, but I still have to pay call charges) so I'll be relatively quiet until Monday.
I shudder to think what will have happened to my karma by then if the k-police are having a slow weekend.
This might be Nohican and {}, ready to collect our sacred MAC addresses to keep our passwords company over in the Netherlands (That's where Dutch people live)

Am I right, Taco? What do I win?
I'm patenting the Beowulf 3 cluster and /. postings about them.
A moderation system that, even though it isn't broken, still looks like it's not broken.
Thanks for both sub-setting my original rules.
N=1
P=0
I did that. Once.
Too bad I didn't read his fine print.

Who in an ideal world would choose to pay instead of having free access?
Of course, paying a flate rate to get premium access to fast, high-bandwidth connections is fine, again, preferably at a low rate.
Obviously the key here is choice.
Something which not everyone in the world has the luxury of.
You mean there's a cut-off in a kind of band-width-analogy-type-of-way?
If you can't do it in real life, do it in Hollywood.
Didn't Tony Blair say more or less the same thing about the NHS, when he was justifying fuel duties/taxes?
My guess is they'll prosecute for extortion once they've got the machine back.
Oh, you mean they didn't know it was stolen, not that they didn't know they'd handed over some cash.
There goes my get-rich-quick scheme for today.
On the other hand I do have a warehouse full of these but they are self-assembly.
Who'll give me $99?
Several times a day I lose ctrl, need to pause or even have a proper break, and at the end of the day, I go home.
Well if "email to Bill Gates"="delete" in your book...
I'll even throw in an LED digital watch and calculator - plus a couple of hundred batteries to get you through the first week.

Another dimension devoid of useful content.

Surely they would not have been simply discarded in a civilized society.
Send it all into space (I don't know, maybe use satellite dishes or something) and then download it from the SETI site when you want it back again.
We already know it's in Illinois.
It had a human ear grafted onto its back.
So what's the news? It was an Iranian ear, but the mouse understands English?
