What the hell are they supposed to say? "Damn! sucks to be us! I guess we can kiss that market goodbye, cause there is no way we can compete with that price."
That statement would be followed by the swirling vortexy sound of their stock price going down the toilet.
I'll make you a deal. If you don't spend any of my tax dollars on the stuff where you live, I won't spend any of your tax dollars on the stuff where I live.
A simple solution, and we can start right now.
Tomorrow when you read or your mail or make a phone call or drive on a road or use any little bit of the nation's infrastructure that you like, I'll imagine that my tax dollars didn't subsidise it.
And when I drive to work, or make a phone call or send some mail or whatever it is that I do, you can imagine that none of your tax dollars were used too.

What the judge was saying is that the defendant had destroyed his beacuse he earlier lied to the poilce. Because he was no longer credible, and the evidence showed that he had been hacking the site he was therefore guilty.
Had he not lied to the poilce, his explantion as to WHY he was doing what he was doing would have carried more weight.
The Chineese don't buy US bonds as a favor to the US. They do it because they are a safe investment. The US has always honored its debts. If that ever changes, then you can look look for the world economy to implode.
it ignores human nature. The moment people start to enjoy the singularity, there will be a hue and cry from that class of people that like to tell other people what to do and how to live. Laws will be enacted and the singularity will be canceled.
A _good_ manager takes responsability for not only his own job, but the jobs of the people he manages. In effect, their responsabilities become his responsabilities.
It's an easy mistake to make. Most people never get to experience what it is to work for a good manger.

I prefer to think of it as 29460 furlongs.
That's a much more impressive number, if you ask me.
That's all well and good... but that has nothing to do with the man behind the $100 laptop.
The $100 laptop guy is Nicholas Negroponte.
The former abasador to Honduras is John Negroponte.
They are different people.
For $500 per user it had better beat the the living shit out of Eclipse.
Call me when it's free-as-in-beer.
Of course they are going to say this.

How do you know they are all thugs? How do you know any of them are thugs?
perhaps they like the smell?
No doubt this delay was caused by that source code theft they had last year.
Coward!

Are you actually complaining that there is too much info in the Slashblurb?
That might work fine for a M.U.D. with 250 players, but EQ has ~450,000. Thats a lot of GMs.
giving someone your phone number isn't 'baiting'. It's 'inviting'.
Bravo Sir!
This post is pure genius.
Then perhaps I need to talk to the right people at SBC. The sales guy on the phone didn't seem too sure of himself.

I'm moving Southwest of Xenia, out into the badlands of Greene County. If there is wireless interbet here, I can't find it.
Broadband in America is fucked.
I live in Ohio. I've had DSL for about 5 years. In two weeks, I'm moving. I'm moving less than 10 miles away from where I live now.
I checked into getting DSL at my new home. It isn't offered. The CO hasn't been upgraded.
I looked into getting a cable modem. Cable isn't offered.
I checked into getting ISDN. It isn't offered.
I even checked into getting a T1 business class line and starting a coop. It isn't available.
I asked them (SBC) when the CO is going to be updated. Their answer: They have no plans to upgrade that CO.
Aside from dial up, satellite is really my only option (they can't take the sky from me - but lets face it, satellite internet sucks).
Why do I never have mod points at times like this?

Out of the corner of my eye, I could have sworn the title of this blurb was :
