The right are more individualistic, generally brighter and capable of making decisions for themselves. The left are more sheep like, followers of fashion, happier to do what they're told and conform to the norm in order to fit in.
How does this benefit the average citizen? They get to feel all warm and fuzzy that their good friend "the government" is taking such good care of them...
Of course, the connection they fail to make is that "the government", any government is made up of two classes of people; bureaucrats and politicians. Neither are a particularly trustworthy bunch. This is actually the problem I have with people saying "the government should". What they're really saying is that they want politicians and bureaucrats to become more involved in their lives...
And it is needed. No, it isn't. Because when they do get to the top, they get lazy, complacent and completely miss the next big thing which is driven by their high costs and poor/restrictive service. Legislation and regulation simply extend the time it takes for the revolutionary replacement to appear. They slow progress and development.
A world without net neutrality is one devoid of intellectual development Look.. I don't support Net Neutrality. Or specifically, I don't support a net neutrality law because I don't think it's required. It'll just get politicians involved in something they really don't understand, and getting politicians involved is almost always a bad idea.
I think a neutral network is a great idea, but it doesn't have to be enforced by the government exactly because those who abuse the market willlose out quite naturally. Neutrality is the natural state of the network.
Oh, and on the quote... "A world/b without net neutrality"? Really? Someone puts some charges on a network and suddenly the whole world becomes dumb?
By prearranging a secret means of communication with each and every party they might ever conceivable want to contact! Yes, that's pretty much what you do when you want to communicate securely. You contact the person and tell them to use a secure channel. If you don't, then yes everything you say is being monitored, don't say anything you don't want others to know.
Encrypting your voice communications is another. And all manner of encryption is extremely difficult when it gets to the point of making sure the recipients and senders who are not you will be able to encrypt and decrypt (becuase I would say 99% of people do not do this).. http://www.cryptophone.de/
Roll out Windows and make damned sure his name is attached to the project. Call it the "$VIPNAME project". Make sure you replace all of the Samba boxes in your enterprise. By the end of the projected he'll be well and truly fucked over. It'll be a salutary lesson to VP's the world over.
Samba is used all over the place. All the FTSE 100's I've been at have used it.
Is there a simple way to list and view the IP addresses used on my network?" man fping. Though with 1000 nodes I'd be heading up to a network management system, something with autodiscovery. jffnms, opennms, zenoss or similar.
On top of DHCP, add Dynamic DNS and you're almost all set. Just make sure to use a DHCP and DNS server from the same producer, they're generally not 100% compatible with one-another if you don't. They might be 99% but that 1% creates a whole world of trouble.
Why is the government trying to push more maths and science teachers?
Do we really need more maths/science students? Yes? Says who? Are they willing to pay for maths/engineering/science graduates? Are salaries in industry such that graduating in maths/engineering/science is worthwhile for students?
You see, if the government push more science teachers than are required, their salaries will actually fall, the resulting salaries of maths/engineering/science graduates will also fall in the job market as more students graduate.
Human beings are simply not equal, no matter what you wish. Pay more for people who are willing to become qualified and more will become so. Insisting that everyone receive the same... Well it doesn't exactly encourage excellence, now, does it.
Security is NOT one of the things I'd be claiming, using a third party to provide my app functionality by remote. If I were the person in charge, I'd probably nix this one about as fast as the DOT did Vista and Office 2007. Yeah, but you have a four digit slashdot UID. Most windows users can't be relied upon to run such basics as firewall or virus scanner.
The Nokia 9XXX machines are basically next generation Psions with a phone built in. The 9300 has a usable but not good keyboard. The 9500 is better, but obviously bigger.
It fits in the pocket and can do pretty much everything a laptop can do. The really massive benefit though isn't readily apparent. That is, you always have all your data with you.
1.3Tb each or so. About $150,000. the drive is about $5500. $155,000 in total. A 750Gb hard disk costs about $1000. so it'd cost about $160k to do the same with hard disks.
Uhh, you're missing the entire point. Dell is well known and businesses trust them. If they start pushing out pre-installed Linux, others will trust them as well based on name recognition alone. No, I'm not, Linux is already in pretty much every large company. You name it, it'll have Linux all over the place already. Most of the medium and many small companies have it as well. It isn't a matter of trust or name/brand recognition. Linux is already there. Whether Dell sells Linux pre-installed or not is completely irrelevant.
You seem to have the view that the big players make up most of the market... They don't, they make up easily countable sections of the market but it's the small one man and similar sized businesses you condescendingly call no-name companies who make up the majority.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Is to use the royal we.
Is the tax system out of control?
That's a lot of bureaucrats...

Steganography. Or, simply bend over for your master.

The software to encrypt your information is free. If you don't use it you have to assume that people are reading your information...
It's worse than that, the very money you use is based upon you being in debt.
Imagine using spreadsheets these days.

You guys should try to persuade Badger to deliver to the US.
You cradle the bottle gently and pour it carefully into a pre-wetted glass at a 45 degree angle. Tut tut... Americans...
I know, but it already benefits from the network effect. Businesses are willing to pay because that's where people look for them.
People use the Yellow pages because that's where all the businesses are, the businesses use the Yellow pages because that's where all the people look.
To make it worthwhile for businesses, it'd have to be free.
How do you pay? By results. What results do you want?
Businesses certainly do not get to define their own market, they live in a market defined by suppliers, customers and competitors.
