take a history class. Censorship is a common practice in the US.
Lets see, WWI, its illegal to hinder the war effort. One man was arrested for distrubiting flyers to draftees. Freedom of speech, apparently not. And now you say but that was then.
we have so many laws in the US that effectively controls most forms of speech. These laws have legit purposes, but they have been and will continue to control unpopular speech.
Want to get on a soap box downtown in a peaceful, way (ie not shouting at the top of your lungs). Well thats loitering, disturbing the peace.
Free speech seems to be one of those values in the US that is only really protected, as long as its what your saying is popular.
atleast written and digital censorship is a little less existant. but its amazing what laws are out there.
I find it funny and disturbing that there are NO LOITERING signs at out public parks.
At my school we have to pay for internet access. I am paying to use that bandwidth. (not in excess though). So at my campus, it would be, i payed to be able to download stuff (regardless of the content)
he said standard THEME, not desktop. those are two seperate things. Different icons, applets etc would be still present.

if an employee is looking at porn, it could get all tangled up in sexual harassment etc. In general i agree with you though. Its like the people that work 14 hour days, but could easily accomplish it all in 5 hours of PRODUCTIVE work
the more important thing is: Whether they will actually do anything.
How is this security going to be achieved, fix a few wholes and be a little more careful in the future, then throw the rest of the budget at a multi million dollar ad campaign saying Win XP is the most secure ever?
i understand that, but im not worried for those people that use a pirated activation key for XP. two reasons, most definately should not be pirating (technically none, but everyone remembers those days when they were younger and such) and two, they are using Windows XP! they get what they deserve
offtopic question, who will own that cure when it is found. Will it be immediately patented by the company running this and then sold for profit. most likely
that is a large IF, the vast majority dont, not to mention a dollar a cd is unheard of. You sell your ownership of the music and your soul to the record companies when you sign a contract
atleast the spammers that have been charged/convicted are released (well available) in the USA. with a little effort you can find those 7 people the FCC is smacking down
its not about wanting to hide something, its about them not needing to know it. Why do they NEED to know what i say to my friends/family on the phone. simple they dont.
how is this insightful? you just backed up what the previous poster said. That it was infact running, except for the nonlazy people who did something about it.
what you said is 100% accurate. The current mindset in the US is of laziness IMHO. A rep doesnt have to worry about being voted out right now, so he/she can listen to the corps and do their bidding. If they knew that the public would not re-elect them, it would be the opposite. Campaigns contribs do not matter if the public doesnt want that person anymore. Im talking about public as the people who are not involved, besides the occasional voting. If I'm a rep, and i do what xyz company wants, but i am still re-elected, I will keep doing what the xyz company wants. It would take a considerable stand to stop this from happening. Not even a huge amount of people, just a commited group. (still needs a fair number of people). Look at the anti-abortion, hardcore family value people. They make up a small percentage of voters. They have the appearance of a large percentage, the loudest voice wins.
actually i heard on TechTV that the original programmer of the Eniac is the reason for beige. was that a govt project, i cant remember. if it was, what you said could be tied into that. Anyone Know?
there were i believe 34 suit case nukes, 28 of them were destroyed, the remaing 6 are unaccounted for. Which could mean a lot of things, they were destroyed but the paperwork was missing. it definately is scary though that some are missing
if i just said, that scene sucks because of ____, or that creature looks bad because of ____. i dont expect anything at all. but if i start really working on it and new solutions to it, then i have expectations.
That is wrong. They pay very little to send out mail. The cost for the PO is also lower, BUT the DMA has ensured that regular mail offsets the loss the PO has
but as an author you retain the ownership of the book and you are licensing it to publishers for a certain period. You will not automatically be able to put it on the internet because of this, but it does give you some more leverage
but they also have the actual link as the prominent address. the cached link is below that, and they also have it display so the user understands its cached. something like this could be done on slashdot?
i thought RDRAM was not a very good memory. Correct me if im wrong, but isnt the latency really high. I cant remember exactly what it was. Or was it just the early versions?
I really wish a TLD for individual use would be created. Where anything goes. Trademarked names, no problem. Only individuals could use this. If it could be enforced it would be nice. Companies would try and complain saying it would confuse customers. but if it has the extension, you know it cant be affiliated with a company.
I always liked woz, he came off as a really nice person. I dont know how that will play out in the business world. The other steve is to arrogant (sp?) for my tastes. Still in the contest against Billy and Larry. I wish woz luck with this venture

you should send the authors a patch or explanation so others less familiar with programming can run it on solaris too.
the wind out? oh you mean like when they had to double the number of servers when switching from bsd to win2k?

because its incredibly difficult to block MS's security check with a firewall rule?

or how about to you, quite trying to stunt discussions. The person brought up some points in a friendly way.
