Juno will be just fine. If you use too many hours, they will start charging you, through the nose, by the way. I was using the $9.99/month service(supposedly unlimited), and when I exceeded their allotted hours, they wanted me to start paying $30 a month. LOL..I can get real unlimited access for less than that.
I agree with the people who think that politics is the cause of the british railways being so terrible.
That being said; I grew up with erector sets, not legos. (That dates me, eh?) I think the preference for these leads to a grasp of mechanics and physics, whereas legos is more modular, and more like solving puzzles. Each is a valuable teaching toy, and maybe giving your kids both would be the best idea.
By the way, I don't remember cutting myself on the erector set parts, but then I had so many scrapes, cuts, etal. that I wouldn't anyways. That's part of growing up, and prepares you for the hard knocks you get for the rest of your life.
Actually the concept of voting is flawed. If I come up to you and tell you that you need to do this, that, or the other--you'd either laugh at me, or punch me in the face. What makes it all right for a group of people to do the same thing? Oh, that's right, it's the guns backing them up.
If you don't think that gov'ts rule by force (even the US)take a look around you. Most of the pain and suffering in this world is caused by gov'ts and religion; not by individuals who normally cooperate quite well with each other.
First of all: I'm not anti-social. Would I be posting this on/.if I was? (Whoops, maybe not the right question.). Not participating in a political system that I don't respect any more doesn't make me anti-social, if it does then the men who started the American Revolution would have been terribly anti-social, now wouldn't they? Freedom ain't free, and you don't get it by voting, it comes from standing up for yourself, and what you believe in, not from fools passing stupid laws that 99.9% of us don't need and didn't ask for(and which is sort of what started this whole conversation in the first place).
That's what I'm teaching my children, how 'bout you?
In other words, I voted for someone and they didn't win; therefore, voting is a scam. More bluntly, "Not everyone agrees with me! I'm taking my toys and going home!"
Maybe for most of the apathetic, non-voters, but I choose not to vote on purpose. Consider a gambling casino, once in a while someone wins big, and that keeps the suckers coming. Don't ever forget, though, that the house always wins. The odds are always in it's favor, therefore the prudent person takes his money elswhere, and spends it wisely. If you're a voter, you're like the guy who keeps putting his last dollar on black 13, and hoping for the big pay off(the change you want). A non-voter(anarchist) looks in a different
direction for change--to himself, and direct action.
We'll never change each other's minds, but in the discussion, we may do some good.
I choose not to vote, because voting changes nothing. If voting could actually change anything, it wouldn't be legal. Someone once said that the power always goes to the middle, and voting keeps it right there. Look at the people that you voted for--Do you like them?
OT: I am not a US citizen, but I read the constituition a few months ago. I was shocked by how short it was. I thought it an elegant, and well written document.
Too bad our law makers don't pay any attention to it anymore. If they did stuff like the absurdly ridiculous DCMA and the newest copyright law (95 years after death? Give me a break--if my kids can't make their own way without sponging off of me after I die, then ta hell with 'em.)wouldn't happen in the first place.
The answer to the question "Who's yer daddy?", to politicians, is--The government.
My names Keith...I'm an illustrator. Is The combination Keith *******, Illustrator a trademark infringement?
Some people really have nothing better to do with their lives...do they.
A.Net by any other name is still a.Net.
Let me clarify that by saying that when I buy/download my software I want to own it, and be able to use it when and where I want to. Open Source is less evil than the alternative, but I see no future for the.net initiative, because nobody wants to use something that they can't fix in house, and may not be available to them if access to the internet is cut off...which has happened (by the way) to/. a couple of times in the last few weeks.
Fighting the system through simple noncompliance is not the answer, talk to your govt reps, and demand action. If nobody complains, then nothing changes. The whole point of democracy is that you stand up and be heard, not just bitch and moan cuz you're not in charge.
And do you really believe that gov't cares about anything but money anyway?
If you believe the gov't only cares about money, what make you think they'll listen to you if you talk to them.
Democracy is about subordinating your will to the will of others...Anarchy is about being subordinate to no one. Instead of bitching and moaning, anarchists do and we don't participate in a system that we don't believe in.
My 2 gateway's run so quietly that I can here the stepkids gameboys in the next room. One has a 733 Celeron with 3 fans, the other is a 233 Celeron, and has 2 fans. The noisiest part is the hard drive on the slower one. How do other off the shelf consumer products stack up here? Mine is silent,but it doesn't make enough noise to bother me. So what gives?

Hasn't that been obvious from my posts?

No...It's called tyranny, fool

I agree 100%. The surrealist and dadas were doing this 70 or 80 years ago.

Actually $18,000 isn't poverty--just makes it hard to live. Like you assholes would know.
