Your comment is such shit, I don't even know where to begin.
Comparing a corporation's interest in money to loss of freedom is silly. And your comment about pedophiles and predators is completely out of line.
First, I'm saying that we are the very root of the problem. Americans spend money. We don't save. And, like most parents I know, throwing a child a cd or movie during a holiday or anytime they do something that warrants a reward is the norm. Geeks and psuedo-politicals on/. don't make up one/1000th of this country. Until you can get the backing of the everyday average person, you have nothing.
Anyway, nice little attempt at a troll.
I suggest you get a child and a clue. Of course, if you actually have children and raise them like you state, I really feel sorry for them.
Those with children:Try explaining to little Suzy why she can't have the latest Britney cd, or why you don't want her to go the movies because of your beliefs. I doubt she will care.
[sarcasm]I'm sure the looks you'll get when you explain to her why the **AA's are bad will justify it.[/sarcasm]
Those without children:is it ok to support a large corporation that's greedy? Well, apparently so, since the majority of/.ers use products everyday made by large, greedy corps. So, you make the call. Boycott? Me thinks this would work only if you got enough people together to hit the bottom line of these companies. Something on the order of Napster's followers when it was popular.
Now, I am going to get flamed for this opinion, but that's ok. The truth is out there.
What? Registration not required? What am I supposed to bitch about now?
Well, hell, guess I have to read the article now.
*SIGH*

Why not trust the other person to tell you about themselves and their past? Seems to me this is a way to look for any faults you can find in someone. Sounds like a sure fire way to end a relationship to me.
You: "Honey, I was just on google. Says on there that you once did (insert stupid mistake or whatever).
SO:"Oh really? So, how long have you been checking up on me?"
You: "Oh, I just wanted to see..."
SO: "Well, how about you see the door as it hits your butt on the way out?"
When you have a social situation where the majority are scraping by, the minority are rich beyond belief, as well as living in gated communities with body guards, guns, etc., you will have this problem.
Lack of apathy breeds violence.
In this situation, if you banned all guns, knives, and machetes, you'd have people dying from being stabbed to death by forks.
If there is no hope and you have nothing to lose, then murder and violence is bound to happen.
Ban the recreational stuff, but make sure those guns are still easy to get.
I sAw ROB tOo. Except when I saw hIM, my keyboard didn't PUT random CAPS IN the MSG.
Yeah, I know your's were perfectly ok, but it looked funny, ya know?
Hey Rob...congrats. Why would anyone want to send you email though is beyond me.
I can see it now. mailto:malda@slashdot.org
Hi Rob, It's Em. I just wanted to congratulate you on your wedding. Oh, you dont remember me? I'm user 452530?? Remember, I once got first post on that article about that thing? Remember? Oh. Well, congrats anyway.
Man, do I ever miss welfleet's ANH's. Too bad Nortel products either suck or work beautifully. (Case in point for the sucks part of the equation:Passport 4400s.
In my experience, I have found exactly the opposite. I work in a telco, and the majority of our customers use frame-relay or isdn to connect. You are correct when you say that the majority of the issues are caused by humans, but it's usually at the telco network level. I rarely see misconfigured routers( Except at install, rarely will an install go as planned). Anyhow, weird to see this view, seems most of the people I know who do this for a living rarely ever tweak their routers once they are up and running.
As far as your point on physical outages lasting longer...that's very true. If I can console in via modem or telnet, I can fix a misconfiguration.
Usually you get this because the vendors themselves are too busy trying to one up each other that they fail to work and play well together.
For example...the mtu size for a cisco router by default is 1500. On a nortel box, it's something like 1600 or so (don't remember off the top of my head). Anyhow, this isn't a big deal, until you start getting lots of remote sites connected. Then, it becomes a huge issue.
Anyhow, for my money, corporations should use one vendor for all their needs. That way, you know that the routers/switches, whathaveyou will work and play well with each other.
"Entertainment companies, burned by piracy and file-sharing services like Napster, have been seeking more control over digital copies of movies, music and TV shows, while tech companies are putting out even more products that encourage customers to "rip" and "burn" entertainment software."
On the one hand, we got tech companies saying burn your music. Enjoy it, play it, sleep with it, whatever. On the other hand, we got the RIAA saying: HEY! Wait! You can't do that. You need to pay me for that.
In the middle is the customer going you know what? Screw you both. Make music. If I like it, I'll buy it. (--In most cases) Hey, PC makers, you make pcs. Don't worry about what I do with it, it ain't your concern.
Could someone please make this stop? It once was funny. Once. Now it's similiar to the:
All your base stuff Natalie Portman and some warmed southern breakfast cereal Imagine a Beowulf cluster of anything lists like the one I just made corrections to lists like the one I just made.
I'd love to respond to your witty and accurate post, but I can't, I have to many effing pop-ups/unders and new-spawned windows to close. Screw it, I'm using mozilla from now on.
*BAM BAM BAM* Excuse me, Mr Emalb, it appears you are using a not Homeland approved browser. You will be assimilated now. Because as we all know, only terrorists support ad-blocking.
OK, yes, in the aspect that you describe, life will go on. Those jobs you listed probably do not have a business need for the internet.
Tell that to a bank, or a mdeical facility. Data communications are a very important everyday part of life. If you disrupt it, sure, the low-tech grape stompers won't see a thing. Any company with a web presence will though.

Slashdot is many things to many people. Some people think it's a Linux site. To others, it's a geek hangout. I've always worked very hard to make sure that Slashdot matches up with my interests and the interests of my authors. We think we're pretty typical Slashdot readers... but that does mean that occasionally one of us might post something that you think is inappropriate.
"It sends a terrible message to young people, because it tells them that tech careers are foolish. But this is a chronic American problem -- a short-term mentality."
Boy, he hit this one right on the hea....oh, look, a new video game is out. Sweet. Uh, what was I saying? I want a slurpee.
Actually, yeah I have. I normally get 20-30 a day on my throw-away hotmail account, I just checked it for the first time in a week and had a total of 4 messages in my inbox--all spam of course, but there were NONE in the junk mail folder. Hopefully they put some sort of spam stopper in place? We can only dream.
First Onion, similiar to Stank of America, do quite well. The feature I like the best so far is the online check view. I imagine having the need in the near future to tell some stupid company with sloppy accounting that yes, I did indeed send that check in, and in fact, you already cashed it.
