Who in their right mind would stop connecting to Google? I mean seriously. #1 Search Engine in the world gets dropped by a broadband provider? I can see many folks dropping that provider fairly quickly.
What if I don't want people in wheelchairs in my establishment? Yes its discrimination but as a private business owner shouldn't I have that choice? If it were a public (and by public I mean either government operated or specifically called public (like the public library)) I would concede the point. But as a private business owner perhaps I want to exclude a certain demographic for whatever reason I choose and in a free society, I would be able to. What recourse would those that I exclude have? They could organize a boycott amongst the non-excluded, picket my business on the public sidewalk, or start a letter/email writing campaign, etc. etc. etc. to get me to change my behavior. Those are acceptable means to an end. Hauling me off to court just so you can squeeze me for some cash + access to a building that you'll probably never go in anyways? Now your infringing on my negative rights (freedom from's) and that's just wrong (the Constitution protects and enumerates our freedom from's).
If you want to be an entitlement bitch, go find some government building that doesn't have certain ADA-acceptable accomodations and I'll support your campaign 110%, but if I don't want you in, STFU, GTFO and STFA.
I feel its fine that private individuals (and by extension their privately (or collectively) owned (as long as the gov't has no shares) business) discriminate based on their morals. I think there would be a lot less violence if people who wanted to discriminate (and take no liberty with that, by discriminate I mean not associate with, I don't mean hang from a tree or some other violent expression) could do so freely. Want to create a master race? Find an under-populated country that you can over-populate with your own followers and go to town. Just don't kill anyone in the process and we'll be fine. I already don't associate with bigots, wife beaters, perverts (and by that, I mean peeping toms and the like), muggers, murderers and the like. By the definition of the law, I am discriminating so by associating with only those I choose to associate with, I have become a criminal, only I guess its more apparent when I put up a sign that says "Friends Only Allowed Inside".
The problem is though, that light can be slowed down. According toseveralsources, light can be slowed down, although they all seem to agree that a photon travels at the speed of light no matter what, just the absorption/release/re-absorption process can slow down how quickly it crosses a given distance.
I heard about that and was horrified with the ruling. Monsanto has similar cases here in the U.S.
I think allowing plant patents has really caused the small indie farmers a lot of undue stress. Realize, though, I'm not against companies getting their fair share from their products, but in nature you cannot have a perfectly closed and useful system, unless you're a planet.
anecdotal evidence is the basis for science. Black holes cannot be directly observed or measured, but anectdotal evidence (stuff falling in, x-rays being shot out, etc.) show there is something there.
Well considering that if you dig down in C:\Windows (or the equiv) you'll see a Unix-ish directory structure. Don't forget, either, that every Win has the same exact kernel in each version. I'm surprised that Windows isn't compromised even more then it is.

The globe is warming, because ya know, that's what happens when you live in an era that is on the tail end of an ICE AGE.

Such a shame indeed.
oh?
I'm scared. I mean, what are they comparing the linux kernel to? God OS?
too true. I have heard (but cannot quickly find) that they had "slowed" light down to the speed of a man on a bicycle.
Light moves, generally, at c.
The problem is though, that light can be slowed down. According to several sources, light can be slowed down, although they all seem to agree that a photon travels at the speed of light no matter what, just the absorption/release/re-absorption process can slow down how quickly it crosses a given distance.
My girlfriend suggests that it was just the hurrican's PMSing, I am inclined to agree given the severity of the storms.
Windows sounds and this (and really, region coding in general) are really why I prefer linux.

Are you kidding?
Indeed, I would not want any pusher robots coming to my place.
Look it up.
I know, Firefox nearly choked when rendering this page!
Rules lawyer!
*lol*
Why even bother? We have an open-source IM protocol, why not just develop for it?
I'm not sure they could. It's possible, but since they are directed towards space, I highly doubt it.

SBC recently purchased AT&T ):
I'm more curious as to how it "rocked the Milky Way".
It also happened "in a galaxy far, far away" ;p

That's complete BS. Conservative my arse. A true conservative would be for less gov't (and less gov't power), not more.
Being able to tax a behavior is complete BS, as are sales taxes (which are regressive and hurt the poor more then anyone else).
Ya know, it's an allusion. Bush baby has made it the "U.S. vs. the World" with his damn policies, and now I don't think that Cylons are after us.
Problems though like prisoner rights, etc. are important things, though, being discussed today.
Yeah, that was always a problem, but what shows back then had any continuity at all?
