The rest of the world has merely been granted the privelage of peering with us. Call it flamebait of you will, but the US government created the Internet, and reserves the right to decide how it's managed. Don't like it?

Bankruptcy is really just delaying the inevitable. Look at Enron. Or Polaroid. Bankrupt means your time has passed and lets find a way of orderly repaying creditors.
Most of the HOWTO's are useless. For instance, probably the most important one, the Networking HOWTO NET HOWTO is written for the 2.2 kernel series. A resource like MS technet knowledgebase would be extremely usefull for linux. Ideally something that could encompass all distributions.
So are you just supposed to leave this thing in the parking lot, or are you expected to keep in your cube at work? Or leave it in the bike rack and wonder why it disappeared while you were gone?

I don't really see any moral dilema. Jonathan Swift had some really revolutionary ideas in 1729 on ending hunger, and they seem to correlate quite well to the cloning debate.
The Slashdot staff has said that it is planning to roll-out a new moderation system for/. The system should be introduced within a few months, but, unlike previous attempts, the staff has claimed that this system will remain idiotproof.
The new system will involve new technology pioneered by VA Linux called "Cluestick". At the comment page, the moderator is beaten severely for modding up comments such as the parent of this one as "Insightful"
This sort of event should cause the economics of broadband to be reevaluated. If @home was losing 6 mil a week than they weren't charging enough for the service they were providing. Now if they jacked up rates by 6 mil they would obviously lose some customers.
What needs to be found is a market clearing equilibrium price for cable modem access, and unfortunately we may not like what we find. It may be that the number of people willing to pay for high speed access at a rate that makes sense to the provider is actually quite small.
You're mostly right, the bondholders are going to get their lumps. But if they think they can't get 32 cents on the dollar than why not go for it. Only a sucker would take the first offer given.

Nobody gives a rats ass about your education.
Could corperate Kick-Backs be the main case behind why the DMCA was born and is still alive?
The reason it's still alive is because no serious issue has been brought before the courts. This was a stupid suit. Perhaps the fact that the law is only used against those stealing the work of others is an issue?
What I would like to see addressed is the lack of an exemption for backups, and the outrageous penalties. ($100k and 10 yrs?)
But I am married to a law student at a top tier law school, and therefore completely qualified to give advice. 1. Start taking practice LSAT's now, you do want to get into a good law school right? 2. Take as many Con Law classes as possible as an undergrad. This will familiarize you with the whole "briefing cases" routine. 3. Read Read Read. Get into the habit of reading 400 or so pages a week of the driest material on the planet. If you don't read the cases before class you will regret it when called on.
The FBI is not an international terrorist.
1st The FBI is mostly a domestic organization. Secondly the idea that you could find some sort of equivalence between those who flew Girl Scouts into the Pentagon and the FBI is sickening. You were obviously not spanked enough as a child.

Note he did not say ballistic missile defense was simmilar to space travel, he said ballistic missiles are simmilar, because they are.
The chinese could care a less about the swiss cheese on the moon. They want to be able to nuke New York and Washington DC. How hard is that for you to figure out?

Off roading.
Finding out what happens when you throw it into reverse at 60mph.
Seeing how fast you can drive backwards.
Seeing how big of a burnout it does at a redline neutral drop.

George Costanza's bitchin' ride
Could she have been more abrasive? And now she's suing because she sold out too early and is only a millionaire and not a billionaire?
Nice crowd at Stanford.
Kamen just said "hopefully, eventualy $3000" so that means $8000 for quite a while.
So are you just supposed to leave this thing in the parking lot, or are you expected to keep in your cube at work? Or leave it in the bike rack and wonder why it disappeared while you were gone?
Probably because they're $8000.

Warp drives do not exist. Not many are willing to waste 6 travelling to and fro the nearest planet Mars.
Not to mention that these are essentialy multi billion dollar geology experiments. Travel to Mars and analyze their wonderful red rock.
Space Travel is nearly pointless.
