Would someone who is well-informed about the issues at stake please write a non-flamebait, intelligent letter that perhaps some of the other./ readers could customize and use to send to their own congressmen?
Here in America, we like to say "American" instead of "USian".
Yes, I'm sure that you could post a comment there, but they require you to select a state, so you can either 1) Lie, and say that you live in the US, or 2) Select a state, and say in the message that you are not a citizen.
Of course, if you say that you're not a citizen, it's likely that your message will not make it though the review process, which is mentioned on the site.
The good news... fent.net is running
Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) Debian/GNU mod_perl/1.21_03-dev on Linux/. is on Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) mod_perl/1.25 mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a on Linux
Slight version differences, with/. adding the gzip stuff, but wow, it looks like they'll get along when modifying server software. Not too many of us out there can make that claim!
Congrats to both of you!
aww man! I guess this means that I'll have to keep downloading the latest version and burning my own cd's, instead of waiting to get it in the mail, along with the latest AOL CD.
I wonder if I could have used Red Hat Pro for 700 free hours in a month before I either had to pay or start using the free distribution...
The basic guidelines that we all need to follow for sending email supporting Linux, or any other open source software are simple.
We must be courteous and kind.
NO FLAMES, this hurts their perception of the type of person that uses open source software.
Try to state things in a way that they'll understand. They need to see that Linux is a viable alternative for public use if it's implemented correctly.
Just use common sense, and don't say anything stupid.
as someone who just had their fixed wireless equipment removed, I was not too pleased with the way that AT&T did fixed wireless, and I don't see earthlink doing it any better.
In Vegas, AT&T was able to generate a good-sized customer base pretty quickly, and they deployed the equipment fast. But, they went bankrupt. I was paying $35/month for 512/128kbs (same price as cable modem in town if you own the modem). If AT&T couldn't make money doing it, I don't see how earthlink could do it.
The infastructure costs are very low compared to cable or dsl, but the equipment cost per user is greater.

It would be interesting to see how long the average Internet session for /.ers is, since a good portion of us are online for work related reasons.
I am not USian, but can I post a comment there?
