This reminds me of that official that said masturbation should be taught in the schools. I believe she exceeded the red line on the stupidity gauge and got fired.
Why is that idea so stupid?
It was a suggestion by the Surgeon General [whom no one ever listens to] because of AIDS [etc] and teenage pregnancy. I still believe that it was a great idea, but no one really knew why she had suggested it.
She didn't want to teach techniques [we all figured it out on our own] she wanted to remove stigma and simply give the idea up for an alternative to fucking the person who sat in front of you when you were board.
This type of law would keep boys from beating it [or girls from swirling it] and leave them no other choice but to either go for the [family pet here] or their friends.
Webrings are very nice ways to form 'communities'.
Some sort of competition sometimes springs up when you see the other sites on the ring - but it's all friendly.
If you were looking for something like 'Bryce Pics' and galleries, a web ring is nice because you search once, and hit next when you are done with that page. You don't have to go back and search through google again.
Why does everyone think they suck so much? Maybe I need to start a 'Save the webring' webring?
Should some of my pals all get huge antennae and blocks of ip address, domain names, mail and news servers?
It sounds like a great idea, even windows is ahead on this with XP's wireless lan features [i do believe any PC is capable of using wireless... so why is it one of their selling points? It's just software!]
Could this be pulled off by people with DSL/Cable/Sat connections? Hell, could any old 56ghey serve as an extra uplink?
My point is: Let's turn this out gnutella style. Anyone with Cable/DSL gets an antenna, plugs it in, and leaves it on. He adjusts what percentage of bandwidth he wants to share - and can turn it off whenever he wants. Could serve him because he's got a laptop. He's asleep, he's not using that bandwidth. He's at work, he can't use it there.
Maybe he's neighbor's got one too. Maybe lots of people do, and soon they are everywhere!
Too bad no one would pay for the ISP if their neighbor has his on and open.
I guess we would still need someone to pay for the T1 [or T3, redundant OC-3] and all pitch in. But would it be any cheaper or better?
I kinda' agree with your point, but no one offers help or support. If you call your PC builder they don't have the time to help you, and Microsoft isn't going to walk you through it.
Everything I've learned about computers has usually been by trying, doing and breaking. Other users have to do the same to get comfortable.
Do you really want a version of Office for Linux? Really?
Nope. I really don't want it for Windows. Wouldn't this make the problem worse?
MS makes OfficeNix[tm] then it crashes millions of servers everywhere. Then it's linux's fault. Wouldn't that help to broaden their powers anyways? Help them convert people?
I just installed Star Office for Windows, and I love it.
Why not solve everyone's problem and develop a Windows Layer for Linux? Basically WINE but once loaded you could run anything windoze, DirectX games, office, etc. This would keep their code secret and let everyone run Red Alert 2 [my fav] while using a REAL OS.
I know most people don't agree with me about the whole 'Nazi' issue.
With that said, let us get to the issue. If Yahoo! wants to do business in France, don't they have to abide by their rules?
Isn't this American-we don't have to-all your culture are-Pax Americanus crap getting us in enough trouble?
When you've got a company like Yahoo! something tells me that it isn't a free speech issue, but more of a money issue.
Everyone is trying to find DMCA loopholes, but what about other issues. Can I order pot seed from Holland? Nope. It's something that is illegal here, and I wouldn't expect the Dutch to rule that they can send seeds just because they want to.
It seems that we try to push our so called freedom on people so much and they end up wanting to kill us.

Please look up, you only missed this discussion by about an hour.
You are 100% right when it comes to sending the prez a threat through my connection.
However, I can give away as much usage of my cable as I'd like... as long as I give it away and I only use two of their ip addresses.
you're right you would lose lots of personal data, but the system would still be there.
me.. lecture about backups?
my idea of a backup is moving it to my second drive... which is no protection at all.
Don't forget to restore your health points you get head....
... that can't be bad for our child-rens
It has been proved over and over that humans are very capable of killing, but only the 'other side'.
When you are fighting a different culture, race, religion, nationality, species, your mind makes it ok to kill.
I sit at home all day, with no transportation, nothing really 'to-do' 'cept read /. and beat it.
Now if I can't do that, I'll go back to sleeping all day and staying up all night.
Good thing I'm a US citizen...
... did I just type that?

Can you just tell me the name of their stock [ticker symbol] and when exactly they will issue an official press release?
...
Thank you,

Many 15 year olds I know own cars, when it is illegal to drive at 15 [here].
Many have stolen huge ticket items, sell drugs and one even stopped traffic [by directing one car into another].
Get your head out of the sand people... inner cities of america [white kids too [mostly]] are worse than many third world countries.
Linux wouldn't let a 'user' cripple the system, only r00t could do that.
Now if I could get a 200 disc changer for MP3 Cds that would be nice.
I've backed up all my cd's and downloaded so many more.
"I forget his name, but he was important--I do recall he claimed to help define the DHCP spec :-P"
Is this a good or bad thing? I do imagine though any old MS guy saying windows was his idea [maybe they worked at xerox?]

I guess I'll just have to buy the book. Or wait for this crap to come out from Clear Channel.

Plus, they could still charge 100 bucks a pop!
why has this turned into a FAX machine discussion?
I tried to use win2k's efs, and it ruined me.
Tell them that!
So I'll be able to sit at home from my linux box and make these things spit out cash?
Everyone knows rebooting a windows machine removes any password protections etc[unless you do this in the bios].
What happens when I hit the million dollar jackpot and get a Fatal Error because winblows can't keep up with the math?
Dreamcast Dreamcast Dreamcast!
Want to run Linux? BSD? WinCE Apps?
Mp3 Player?
Screw the PS2, the GC and Xcrotch!
DC is still the best!
So google can't do an ARIN lookup now?
Thank god, no one took it!

In the '95 Encarta (I believe) it states that pot is smoked from flowers, stems and seeds.
Even my mom knows that you don't smoke the seeds or the stems.
Ok, so you want to build a set top box?
Get a non-tower pc case, Mobo[etc], Floppy drive, CD-Rom and sound card.
Do your homework and make sure that all the hardware is supported by linux.
You will have to find a way to get TV output [i'm not that smart].
Put this disk into the floppy drive and put in a mp3 [data] cd.
Why bother using HD space to hold mp3s? The cd's can be used in car players, sega dreamcast and many DVD players... hell, any PC can read a data CD!
No X11, no HD, no router, any crappy hardware.
