If they do not make it a user configurable option that would be bad and my Conspiracy Hat would come on. If it stays an option this is a Good Thing(TM) to have especially if you are concerned about apps breaking stuff.
These same politicians that are trying to tell us free speech is not common sense are the same politicians I would not let a teen be their aids or runners for feer they will be molested.
Sometime I HATE politicians!!! All they want to do is exert power they do not care for Rights or even resposibilities.
When put in the way you put it I have to change my thinking some! Maybe there needs to be a paradigm shift withe the hackers that do not want to be associated withe the vandals and criminals. I do not know if or how that would happen though. I guess I will just have to continue to definr hacker everytime I use it to people so I do not get lumped into the group I do not want to be associated with.
If that is the Goal of the movement then I may change my attitude that it is a total farce, but I get the feeling that it is just a one-up-manship ploy of someone to claim the moon as bieng US turf.
One of the big problems is that there is no clearcut definition of what a hacker is.
I like the tinkerer version that most of my friends use. But the media created the hacker craze that we see all the time on the news. As long as they keep up the heat and Some people keep doing illeagle and just so many things in bad taste the "EVIL" connotation will never go away.
This article addresses the same issues that made me give up on Gnutella in the past. I was recieving terible transfer rates and never getting responses from the other hosts.
I think Gnutella needs to have a serious revamp before it will scale in a way that users will be satisfied
That is if the flack from the recording industry does not get Congress to pass a stupid law to prevent the developement
It is a matter of choice

I agree with both the writer and the reviewer.
If I do not want to be part of the corporate culture(i.e. going to the picnic) I should not be thought of as alienated. I DO have a life and I want to have friends I do not see every day. But I am in the IT field.
Many peoples jobs are not able to be performed in an isolated environment for those workers alienation can seriously impact their work and spill over in to thier private life(go postal).
In the end it boils down to a matter of choice. I like to be isolated to work but sometimes I do the Company thing.
I totally agee with your imfatic NOOOOOO!!! about this merger. People thought Microsoft was screwing the consumer!!!
This will be worse!!
This conglomerate woulld not only be able to tell people how to get the content they would control the content.
The FTC is supposed to protect the consumer from things like this but I guess alot of money wins again. If we do not watch out we will have to go through another very costly Anti-trust trial for Time Warner-AOL in a few years!!
If you're going to bother at all with the whole "right to free speech" rigamarole, you have to be prepared to go all the way.
One thing to always remember there will always be SOMEONE that would like to take you rights away. You ALWAYS have to fight four your rights. Remember the words of Thomas Paine:
"The tree of liberty must be watered from time to time by the blood of its young men."
I totally agree with that. The more complete of a service package any software has the easier it is to get it past the "pointy heads" and the bean counters. I actually hope this trend continues. I like the Open source model and want to see if it can make the cut in the buisness world.

I wonder if anyone has looked into whether it was the same event that caused venus's spin and ours?
"The United States is, as far as I know, the only country in the world where your work is not automatically copyrighted when published. "
This is incorrect, as other posters have stated in the US that the copyright is automatic in the creation of the work. No notice is needed.
Very true. This deal could make E-bay a financial powerhouse.
That is a very interesting thought. I hope he looks at this kind of thing in his research.
I cannot wait till I can jack in to my computer!!
I hope this also helps in prothetics and other medical uses, but the jacking in and computing at the speed of thought is what grabs me the most.

YThis is just too choice of a comment!!!!
