The numbers aren't even right for one. Anybody that is paying attention to China knows that their entry into the WTO opens up a huge market. I see an emotional argument that appears to be racist. I'm not saying I support the Chinese Government or it's policies but I'm not going to condemn a nation and it's people for it's leadership or I'd have to completely condemn mine own for some past and present polcies. How many other countries had abolished slavery before the US did? Do you know the dates for that? How many US states wanted to keep it and went to war over "states rights".

I was referring to the broadband market itself, not the overall market which could never be a perfect free market. Sure there are products that people will choose not to inform themselves about, I'm guilty of that at times, but there are markets where the consumers do posses perfect information and do act rationally. Don't ask me to name them though;-)

One of the parts of the equation for a free market is that you have a fully informed consumer. Most consumers buy based on advertising and don't really know anything about the product and it's competitors.
Do you think it is just about five deaths or the prevention of thousands of deaths? You know the auto companies wouldn't even have seatbelts or stronger frames if it wasn't for government regulations. I believe that drivers licenses should be much harder to get, not as hard as pilots licenses but not as easy as it currently is.
If there was a lowest common denominator you'd like it too. It caters to the largest audience that it possibly can. The labeling if this audience is left up to the reader as a personal exercise.
You may have stumbled on to something there. One wonders if somebody would find it worth producing hardware based on open source desgin. For instance would hardware support for Mesa help spur it's acceptance?
Did I say more information is needed? You need to be able to avoid things like this happening, perhaps businesses that will deal in shipping specialty items that they can assure the safety of will pop up? A way is always found.
Did you try every possible install configuration? I'm not saying it was never installed for you but that was a big problem with code red and nimda, many people were running it without knowing it. I know it isn't running on my Win2k installation, all my web serving is done through Linux.
I think that a lot of Unix/Linux people don't understand that Windows paradigm and they need to. Linux/X needs to have the same functionality as Windows to actually compete with it. I need to be working in Abiword and be able to double click on the Gnumeric spreadsheet that is embedded in it to work on it. Computers are applicances to many people they want to set it and forget it.
I agree with you, I also said that more information needs to be given. You didn't express anything I didn't support, I don't support people that don't like themselves being a tad inconvienced for better safety.
Do you think a person with a felony on their record might be prone to lured into an association with a organization? Tell me, do you have a problem with a rapist being hired for security, especially if he wants to take your wife into an interrogation room because he thinks she's suspicous?
Ah ignorance is bliss. Good thing that there are people looking out for you that actually take the time to understand what that means, you'd still be living in a cave if you weren't living off the achievements of others.
I have an idea, let's make it real easy to send any known pathogen through the mail, encourage it in fact, and then the numbers will satisfy your need for validation of events. You know, if the anthrax mailings were successful things could've been a lot worse. You aren't in to planning are you? Pah only 5 deaths, why bother.
No you're being ridiculous. If the proper security measures were in place in the first place THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE wouldn't have died. Your indifference at the events leading up to this helped cause it and now you want to complain about the inconvience of it. Take a more active role in your Country and maybe then you can bitch.
Let's just ban everything and kill ourselves then. Let's ban silverware, it's been used to kill people and you can eat with your hands. Baseball should be banned, it uses bats that have killed people. You start making the list ok?
It explodes in their homes???? Maybe you meant to say x-ray wavelength radiation but generically said electron in your haste to be intellectual? What you are talking about would be some kind of receiver attuned to a frequency where it would act as a switch when something was broadcast on that frequency.
Better to be a self righteous, whatever it is you call yourself? Sorry this element exists in every society? Maybe you're British and should be practing you hooliganism for the World Cup? You know I read about Brits saying they are gonna make Japan wish they weren't having the cup. Maybe I should classify all British people based on that? Hell if you aren't British let me know your nationality and I'll go ahead and make a generalization on it.
Opinion polls don't jive with what you are saying. Frankly I have no problem with mail being irradiated for pathogens, there just needs to be more information about what should and should not go through the process. Tell me, were you so upset about felons working at airports for minimum wage or did you even know about it till the news reported it? It would be a nice little utopia if we could just trust that people weren't sending things through the mail or wanting to crash planes into buildings but it's not. How many lives have been saved for your inconvience?

Yeah sure. Did you read what he wrote or what I did for that matter? I'm far from a liberal whiny bleeding heart but I call a spade a spade.

Could've been worse, the anti-matter storage tanks could've been round at the base ala Austin Powers.
Brainfart on my part. Nevertheless, the whole OS wasn't on the floppy, the rom on that machine was 256k as I recall.

Yes, they are communistic republics. The USA is a republic, there are no true democracies at the nation level on the planet.

LOL, so you don't mind being an ignorant ass. I'm sure there is something on TV for you, maybe a movie about a bomb that is set off by an "electron"
