This has been going on all along and not just with failed.coms
I worked for a company in Marocco where the same thing happened. The company basically just abandonned the employees who ended up leaving with servers, routers, the company truck,...
Was it wrong? I suppose so but can you blame them?
Umm actually the CRTC has obliged the phone and cable cos to act as carriers. An ISP can buy access to thier networks at fairly competitive rates and provide DSL or Cable services to thier subscribers. OTOH the carriers are able to still make money on the deal selling bandwidth without having to provide end user support so they're still ahead.
Your comparison of internet access to HBO is a little out of wack. You would expect the government to guarantee that the populace has mail service wouldn't you?
Assuring a strong communications infrastructure makes sense and will foster growth in remote communities. I don't see why that's so hard to understand.
Until recently (maybe a year ago) the military introduced timing errors into their signal so that it was impossible to get an exact fix although a ground based unit would increase your percision.
Of course if this story is true it's rediculous. But then we can't know that cause nobody actually said how the supposed copyright was infringed upon.
Governments on all levels provide all sorts of incentives to lure large corporations. Tax breaks, low interest loans, whatever. These guys are making money hand over fist and all the while they're pissing and moaning about how unfair it is to be funding open source projects. Give me a break.
Most users can't even be bothered to pick hard to guess passwords who needs to sniff? Unprotected wireless access to corporate networks is where the action is.
The problem with computers in the classroom is that the majority of teachers do not have the training to use them properly. Computers in the classroom force teachers into sysadmin roles. How can they concentrate on the subject at hand when there time is occupied providing support services better handled by trained technical staff?

IANAA but isn't a brown dwarf formed from a collapsed gas cloud? Jupiter was formed from material in our sun's accreation disk.
on one of these would that be genocide?
So someone that writes code and doesn't decide to share it with you is stealing?
Companies and individuals contributing to the open source community should be reckognized and encouraged they sure don't owe it to you.

Park benches have always been an ideal spot for necking. I suppose all the "in kids" will be going alone now and cybering.
IMHO it is perfectly acceptable to see who contributed to what on startup. How often do people have to reboot their systems anyway?
Well at least it doesn't go TADAA! evry time it performs some basic task.

all that stuff about going blind isn't true either?
umm sorry it's the crack i meant the legal threat.

I thought the headline said glowing jelly pants.

Looks like windo$e users could seriously hurt them selves doing the 3 finger salut.
What self respecting insurance company would pay out if they could prove that the reason for the crack was due to shoddy security.
They'll get all bogged down with referendums about how and when each rocket stage will seperate.
Whats the big deal here? What do you think you're doing when you post to /.?
