If i'm the only one on a 4 lane street driving home at 2 AM with visibility for hundreds of feet i'll go insane if you make me drive at 35 miles an hour. The speed limits are a somewhat arbitrary line. They have to encompass a variety of conditions and are somewhat of a compromise. That's why (at least in CA) the DMV says no faster than the speed limit or what is safe for the current conditions. I'd be a lot more worried about people going 35 miles an hour during a heavy downpour than someone going 45 on a bright, empty sunday morning.
to say that my kinky daughter can't be a phone sex intermediary for the blind! My guess is, that if you can find enough people to be phone sex operators, you can find enough to be phone sex intermediaries.
No one expects oil to last into the next century. The expected to peak rather soon. What we really need is more government funded research into alternative energy so we can get off this oil train as soon as possible. Or at least be ready when it crashes.
Any home user doesn't need a hardware accelerated firewall. Windows XP comes with a simple firewall that handles this kind of stuff with ease. The only rules a home users needs are block every port, and maybe let a few through, nothing fancy. Additionally, this'll apply only to about 4 megabits of bandwidth at most, considering the speed of even the fastest broadband residential connections.
This may just be somehting that the people at compusa can read off the tag. "Integrated firewall firewall for increased security". Either that or another feature for power users to tick off. Possibly similar to how pentium ads talk about optimization for streaming internet video when any processor made after 1997 can stream anything on the net today.
Now that motherboard chipsets for athlons don't use a memory controller (the 64 bit ones have em on the chip processor) is that why we're starting to see all this stuff integrated into the motherboard?
Never attribute to malice that which may adequately be explained by stupidity.
I agree, the partisanship stinks. The software should be open source and government funded. However, if they had sinister motives wouldn't it be more likely that they'd make functional software that appeared to be working at least? Of course they may also be cheating AND malfunctioning...........
I live in los angeles, a place where one finds many cell phones, and I have yet to be bothered by their use. I've very rarely had one bother me. Where is it that cell phones are being so abused? The only place that i can think of is in class, where they seem to go off once every couple of weeks, but this is nothing more than the most minor of annoyances.
This is traditionally a conservative/libertarian (yes I know the differences) argument; but can go either way really. Often time they use NPR and PBS to backup claims that government run media is biased.
The truth is, that this type of regulation is not going to affect content such as this much at all. The original poster does have his tinfoil hat on. But I resent you calling this a liberal issue when most liberals would in fact approve of it. Original poster was most likely a troll in fact.
What if my site uses something like mod rewrite? FTP sites generally are a direct representation of the filesystem. Complex http sites may have no relationship to the internal filestructure and may be un-mirrorable. If you're looking for a rule sheet in regards to mirroring http look no farther than wget and robots.txt. If there isn't a page linking to it you weren't supposed to get it probably anyway. wget does handle directory depth i'm almlost certain btw.
I'm appalled to hear criticism from the likes of you. You seem like the kind of man who wouldn't even ask a girl's parents for permission to date her! How can you meet a gal without knowing her parents first. Don't you want to know what stock she's from? And don't her parents have the right to know who their precious daughter is interested in seeing? [/sarcastic]
Differen't strokes for different folks but I think you're just falling back on some romantic notion. You say 'get out and meet people'. As if meeting people was defined by the accompanying social ritual (has to be in person). What of the pen pals of the days of yore? Norms change and contrary to your belief youth culture (once again) is not dragging society into an untenable, apocalyptic, future.
All of the friends and acquaintances I know who use social networking are NOT geeky (but then i have few geeky friends, all of whom don't use social networking). All of the people I know using these sites are totally not geeky and are mostly somewhat trendy if a bit on the counter culture side of it believe it or not. I'm 19 however, and people of my age are significantly more tech savy. Perhaps as you get into older people technophobia creeps in.
Just go on friendster or myspace sometime and you'll notice the fact that most people there are not geeky at all, and that there's probably an even mix of boys and girls.
Why should it be opposed?

CSS for the LDP?

It would be trivial to write a CGI script that would simply include, or not include the link to the CSS for each document. Assuming of course that all these documents are in XML (docbook?) format to begin with.
If I could get one of these with wifi and a browser / rss reader. I'd probably stop using my PC to a large extent. Much of my time online is spent reading blogs and various online publications (salon, the economist, daily kos, etc) which have very few images. Eyestrain is a problem however and as far as text only viewing goes, paper as a medium would be a godsend.
Maybe a good lock for your door? Other than that something that's easy to use, and somewhat less easy to break in case it fails or you lose a key. Who exactly is going to be stealing this data? You could always go out and get one of systems cards that'll fry a hard disk if someone attempts to tamper with it but I think that you're not at that level of data sensitivity. Perhaps nothing more than an encrypted filesystem (easy in windows XP) is needed.
You wouldn't get a 404 error. 404 = page not found. There has to be a server to know that the page isn't on it. What would happen is a 'site is not responding'. You wouldn't get any responses from the site.
There's a fundamental difference between computers and these things. Computers are interacted with on a low level. I've used locks my whole life and will never have to open one up. A computer is so complex that even the simplest tasks can cause problems. For instance, few people have a decent grasp of the directory structure. Yes, the simple directory structure. This is a constant problem when they want to open a file with something other than the program that saved it and that program has a different default open folder.
Your examples would make sense if say, the ring voltage on your phone had to be randomly calibrated to fluctuating levels manually (silly isn't it?), but it doesn't. The problem isn't with users , but with computers themselves. Computers NEED to be learned or need to be simpler.
AMD never kept thier spec numbers close to intel. They just wound up that way. Their benchmarks were all based off performance relative to a duron 1000 mhz.

Sure, just call 867 5309.

Welcome to the regulated free market. Thanks for playing.

The average home user just needs to make sure their ports are blocked. No it's not a 'good' firewall, but it's massive improvement over none.

I agree, you can even check POP mail over telnet. You'd have to be insane, however, to use telnet to say log into a shell account.
Can anyone enlighten me as to where telnet is used in new devices at all?

thank you for defeating his stunningly weak argument.

The filesystem is simple and crucial. People do not know it. I never made a value judgement. You made the inference regarding my values.
That's why I say that either people need to learn more or computers need to be simpler.
Would you mind reading my words in their entirity next time? I'd caution you to be more careful before you go about using such derisive language.

not at all, I guess I should then.
