This'll help stop the higher level horde players from ripping through lower levelled areas, which gets annoying pretty damned fast. Blizzard, when their servers are up, have done a pretty damned good job with this game, I have to say.
Great... an arbitrary geek. Can't really say i know much about said jargon file. It seems tho that this would cause problems if noone else used some of this.
Makes perfect sense. The whole phonebook idea is good, but it's sad that it's able to be pillaged by those unscrupulous few. I mean, if you have to pay per call, like with cellphones, the fact that one would get telemarketing calls over that medium at your expense is absurd. But to stop advertisers would mean more government, so it's a sad day. Noone has any respect for the common man these days. Can't they all just leave us alone? Personal freedom is of primary concern... let us govern/run our own lives. Make a product and let word of mouth spread its reputation, or market by product, not by paper. The whole thing seems ludicrous to me.
Does the government have right to invade our lives? I think not. Life (military and police protect us from murder and such) Liberty (protect our right to freedom, to say what we want when we want to say it) and persuit of happiness (They feel the need to make us happy, not just allow us the ability to be happy. Social welfare... Ha! Let us govern ourselves!) Who are they to tell us what to do and what not to do, as long as it doesnt violate the basic human rights of another person? Seatbelt laws? HA! Drug laws are just killing more people than the actual drugs are... It's getting way too out of hand. In soviet russia, the government runs you. In Soviet America, apparently the same thing happens. Libility laws, too. Noone's responsible. Privacy... i think the issue isn't with our privacy, but with those compromising it. Advertising agencies and govermental agencies... IT people stop the massacre, you have the power! Anyone who'se anyone in the IT world reads this page, and they design these systems... have a backbone. And all you crazy geeks like me out there, check out libertarian policy, it's definately something to consider...
AOL is a terrible ISP. I used it for years and years, since it was v2.0. 1994, i believe. It was great, then was terrible then now is just adequate, but below par. Alot of the "content" they have is because of the investment of other companies... People are pulling away because their "ease of use" ideals are shot. AOL also screws up alot of different connections; takes proprietary controls in network settings and such. It's hard to network with AOL as your ISP or even resident on a system, and i think thats one of the reasons they are slowly dying. The one thing i adore about AOL is their Mail service. The amount of spam I recieve on my XXXXX@aol.com account is actually quite limited and it's relatively secure... *Cough*Outlook Worms*Cough*
If they pull out of ISP-ing and just become an Uber-Browser/Mail Client for maybe 5 or 10$ a month and offer some of the great features- they could turn over their ISP Tech to hosting for example and become a huge webhosting mecca, for users and such- it'd be a big turn-around for them, in my opinion.
We'll see what they do with themselves now, i suppose...
Gecko will save you 30% or more on Internet browsers... wait... Did i get that wrong?
Good deal, AOL is doomed for one reason- people learned how to use the internet. It was the intermediary, but no longer with the advent of popular broadband.
What an awesome substance hydrogen peroxide is... dilute it can clean a cut, slightly more concentrated could bleach your hair... and at full potency could be a great rocket fuel! And it's cheap too... that is if you can get it...
Anyone up for a trip to the grocery store? It coulnt be THAT many bottles to boil down and get rocket fuel...:-p

you could network tablet PC's to it and use wireless speakers, that would work

A good metaphor:
Do you take the red pill or the blue pill?
It's a matter of freedom.

Give us our freedoms back!

I'd use solid hydrogen, you insensitive clods.
I actually run apache. I was trying to be sarcastic :-p
Maybe we could start calling it the Trade Federation, too.
Wow, Lucas is actually creating a sort of Empire...
Apache?!? Who needs that? Microsoft works fine!
If the tech doesnt exist yet, then it's sure to come about soon, if it is required for a new tech. It's the american way-
At least the geek american way...
