    if you are seriously considering a switch to dsl, and speed matters over price...and service is something you want to pay for - go with speakeasy.

    You don't have to be in prison to have first-hand experience.

    Have you ever been through the federal court system? I have.

    Have you ever been charged and found guilty of a federal felony?
    I have.

    Ok, I'm not an expert - never claimed to be. But you haven't given any type of argument and frankly, have no shred of credibility.

  5. Re:Prisoners on Running a Website from Your Prison Cell · · Score: 1

    Again, you make assumptions.

    I've never been in prison.

    And I did check what you said - however, it has already been stated enough in this thread that laws vary from state to state.

    Grow up and pull you're head out of your ass - I'm sure its hard to read with it up there.

    I don't have to look it up.

    I know what applies here in PA.

    So I made a generalization - and you made an assumption.

    I have first-hand experience.

    sorry - wrong.

    you only lose your right to vote while you serve your sentence.

    right to own a gun - that varies by crime.

    non-violent crime, people normally can own arms after serving out their sentence.

    violent crime? no way, bub.

  9. Re:The Best Open Source Model on IBM to Hire Firefox Developers · · Score: 1

    I see this as more than just a push of Firefox over IE, its a continued push over Mircrosoft.

    And the whole Open Source community benefits.

    If anyone has the brand recognition to do so, IBM is probably the best suited for the job...

  10. Re:Sounds like a good deal on Music Industry Drafts Code of Conduct for ISPs · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Great idea. on Time Warner, Comcast in Deal to Buy Adelphia · · Score: 1

    even if comcast buys adelphia - i have a feeling you will be seeing a package price later towards the end of the Q3/beginning of Q4 that will bring a package price below 100 for all of their services...

    they know its something they need to do.

    they've heard the customers and will be responding.

    no wonder thiscountry has such a high percentage of drug use amongst it's population

    back on topic: I can't believe they'd actually cut the project when its crossing into the realm of the unknown and undiscovered. This should be an exciting time coming up here that I would think should cause them to WANT to keep this going.

    That's just the problem. There are age restrictions on these games as far as who can and can't buy them. The PARENTS buy these games for the kids.

    I mean - these people are sitting here complaining about the games but they aren't identifying the real problem - How are kids today getting these games? That's right. The parents.

    ll that pales in comparison to the fact that my girlfriend loves drawing on it, and the tablet form factor makes it easier to curl up with both her and it. So it stays.

  21. Re:Exactly on Jon Johansen Breaks iTunes DRM Yet Again · · Score: 1

    I dont get my songs from apple.

    I am grown up. I like my rights too, thank you very much.

    When I buy something - I don't want some restirtion imposed upon it restricting how many times I can listen to it, how many devices or times I can copy it for my own personal use. Not too mention the ramifications of future changes to said companies policies - CEO's don't live forever, yah know? Time changes things, policies WILL change - especially when some greedy corporation/individual sees an oppurtunity to exploit this.

    Besides - I don't want to have to be tied to windows or mac to be able to listen to my music. I currently pay monthly for a music subscription, so don't try to point your finger at me as if I'm contributing to this 'problem.'

    You have unlimited burning now - but you are in what is essentially in what is an open-ended contract - the terms and conditions may change at any given time. At which point, given certain situations, you may find yourself grabbing your ankles and greasing up.

    I don't want to hear you bitching then. You better just ejoy it.
