He saved your ass from being a Nazi slave, made indispensable contributions to the invention of the computer, and served his country proudly and without complaint.
Never seen so much off-topic crap. Turing was gay, Goedel and von Neumann were Hungarian Jews. Big deal. If not for all of them, we all might be writing our five year plans in German inside a smoking, radioactive hole in the ground.
Those with the NT comments might better spend their time trading warez and porno on AOL, or even better, learning how to read.
I would note that a crash-prone, grafx laden operating system probably is NOT the best basis for assisting the blind, and certainly not the cheapest. Hate to say it, but when it works, it'll work better on n*x systems, and you won'nt need to buy a 900Mhz pentium 5 w/ 1 G RAM to run it, neither.
And if that fscking parrot is half as annoying as that retarded paper clip, you can pretty much assume that the end of civilization is upon us (or should be). Jobs was right: Microsoft has not a shred of taste.
BTW: Shouldn't you be off driving your 13-year old girlfriend around the country?
Just when I thought this discussion couldn't get any stupider... "Yes to taxes" actually gives me the idea that there are officials stupid enough to fall for this. The only thing as bad as the ubiquity of advertising is the ubiquity of taxes. It's about high time we solve both trends by turning everything over to the army, who will paint it.
Gimme a break. I see things go completely wacko with the telephone system on a fairly regular basis. In LA (310) I have OFTEN gotten "All circuits are busy" messages, and any natural disaster - whether it touches the phone system or not - causes such flurry of calls that no one gets through.
If a busy resource is downtime on the 'Net, it certainly is downtime for the telephone as well!
And both networks rely on the power grid, which even in a city like New York (or LA) is not as reliable as you'd think..
But I can't say that I'm losing any sleep over carpet-bagging latecomers to the game getting bit by not understanding how the whole mess works.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. It would only be a slightly more negative attitude than is often expressed in some of their AstroTurf campaigns they've run in the past over things like streaming media ("I can't use that Really Medium player or whatver. Why can't you use Windows Media Player instead? It always works for me!" (followed by M$ literally throwing money at the content company to as an 'incentive' to switch)).
Yup, you'd have to charge yourself. Of course, unlike your income or electricity use, which can be taxed based on where you lived, your email traffice can easily be moved to a more free-thinking country (say, Finland, or the Cayman Islands), which would instantly spawn a cottage industry of email relayers paid by minimal ad revenues. If it ever happens, I'll be one of the first with a server.
It's clear that the suits, as a whole, are far from 'getting it.' Fortunately for us, we don't need them to.
As far as anyone can tell, this is not about chasing terrorists - since really determined computing - especially with cluster computing or specially designed hardware, the (theoretical) effectiveness of which was recently confirmed by an RSA - can crack good encryption in short order if needed - it's really about being able to scan digital communications on a massive scale. File this one under my middle finger, spooks. Unfortunately, you crypto monkeys actively aid and abet those who would keep us naked by insisting that 24-bit encryption is as bad as none. Hooey. If everyone used even minimal encryption, the ability of the spook machines to scan and index every e-mail all would be vastly compromised; that is why they continuously support encryption regulation. It provides them a very minimal edge over the mad bombers, but the result is that the rest of us live in glass houses, too. Shame on cryptophiles for encouraging strength while neglecting use; support ******MAD******* use of even weak encryption!!!!!!!

What the fuck have you done?

Damn, I thought if you were having trouble with crackers, you could call the Black Panthers...
