Being a UK resident, I just find this highly amusing. Our phone and internet access have always been seperate items. Before broadband took off, there were a bazillion isps out there, and indeed British Telecom's own service was one of the most expensive. Even now we have DSL, you can buy it from any one of a dozen or more providers (and again, BT's openworld service is more expensive than some)
It just find it hard to beleive that the US telecom companies are in a snit about it.
Im my library (in the UK) there are LARGE notices on the photcopiers that clearly explain that you are entitled to copy small portions of text for personal use only. The copier is also situated within eyesight of the librarian's desk so it would be hard for someone to copy an entire book in this way.
A comment from the mysql_pconnect man page (NOT written by me though):
Normally you do NOT want to use mysql_pconnect. This function is designed for environments which have a high overhead to connecting to the database. In a typical MySQL / Apache / PHP environment, Apache will create many child processes which lie in idle waiting for a web request to be assigned to them. Each of these child processes will open and hold its own MySQL connection. So if you have a MySQL server which has a limit of 50 connections, but Apache keeps more than 50 child processes running, each of these child processes can hold a connection to your MySQL server, even while they are idle (idle httpd child processes don't lend their MySQL connection to other httpd children, they hold their own). So even if you only have a few pages which actually connect to MySQL on a busy site, you can run out of connections, with all of them not actually being used.
In general use mysql_connect() for connecting to MySQL unless that connection takes a long time to establish.

Really? then consider known physics and optics defied
dude, you've got ypour definitions of opaque and transparent switched... either that or you've confused inside and outside.

why would you even want to delete a gmail?
Uncle Google tells me not to delete my messages anymore...
Seriously, I haven't deleted any of my gmails in 18 months.
Remind me again just how hard it is to install firefox on a linux machine...
Oh yeah, a child could do it.
So, instead of moaning about not having a top-of-the-line browser, use the energy saved to take the 2 minutes required to install firefox

You missed by far the biggest culprit of them all... Aviation.
Only one o in lose and no c in sense...
You can get internet on a small wind up device can you? A clockwork radio should be in everyone's emergency kit
What a joke! There's nothing worth recording anyway
Change your sig and it will go from "poor" to "mediocre"...

There are some extremely good java games out there. Ideal for whileing away a dull lunchbreak at the office
Dude, I'm over 40 and still use 1600x1280 resolution and tiny fonts. I like to see as much of the document/code file I'm working on - especially code.
40 ISN'T old!!!
WTF? No mails in the slashdot@mailinator.com account.
Come on guys!!!!
I'll try that again. Maybe I'll preview it..
His latest stunt
There. We're good now.
I thought it was "miserable failure" - and quite deserving too especially in the light of his latest stunt
What an utter bastard he is - and no spine. Big Bidness shouts jump, he says "how high?".
Sorry, I'll get off ma soapbox now.

Wow! I had no idea there where so many different types of screwheads...
The world has finally gone totally insane.

You'd actually need 44 33ppm printers. The summary is wrong - its 1440 ppm, 330 FEET per minute.
Obviously War & Peace is WAY more than 330 pages (unless the pages are very big, or the print is teeny-tiny small...
