In Eugene, why not check out efn.org, the Eugene Free Net, they have local dialup with ppp and shell access for a pretty reasonable fee (iirc, I don't live in eugene, but I do occasionally ssh into my account)

This reminds me of my theory of computation class. A turing machine is arbitrarily long, but not infinitely long. Similarly, any arbritrarily long sub-sequence of e (or even pi) may be found in pi (assuming normality) but not the infinitely long entire sequence of e.
Even 5/8 inch (not the standard 1/2) drywall has a 1 hour burn-through time. In Minnesota where I used to live, furnace rooms are required to be wrapped in it.
One thing that might help a bit is to pgp sign your messages, or even use a timestamping service but I don't know of any way to prevent someone from backdating their copy of your work to circumvent copyright, or even claim that they authored it. I'm reminded of a passage in one of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books where the Guide blatantly ripped some info off the side of a cereal box, then sent the article (about how really big space is) back in time, and sued the cereal company for copyright infringement!
if anyone ever read _A Deepness in the Sky_ by Vernor Vinge, that is exactly what happened. it was easier to kruft on to the existing computer systems than redesign them from scratch (some people tried, they ended up being just as bloated and kludgy) so they ended up having people known as programmer-archeologists, who looked at thousand-year-old code and figured out how to integrate it into their systems.
yes, but imagine the analogy of renting a video. Sure, you can watch it as much as you like, but you have a contract with the rental agency, and you need to return it. Now imagine trying to make a copy of a rental and claim fair use. If you want to watch it again, you need to rent it again. However, this is not quite the case with pay per view. Sorry if I am taking both sides of the issue at once...:-/

just because it is a backronym doesn't mean it is a bad name. As for being a network object model, I think you have the word grouping wrong. Think (Network (object model)) not ((network object) model).
I used it a lot, but most of the time just to email money to someone, rather than beam it to their palm... I wonder if that figure counts that use, or just beaming.
this is actually a really good idea. I don't think I can conceive of a way to make it technically feasible, but I'm not an engineer. If that could be done, it would be neat! The only downside is the fact that the chip manufacturers use the same die for several clock speeds, labeling the chips depending on test results post fabrication.

the very concept of ending regular postal service is akin to ending civilization itself.
This seems very similar to the fundamental premise of The Postman by David Brin.

I have to say that the idea of a quantum black hole still seems appealing to me w.r.t tanguska...
:-)
Of course there are so many different theories about the event that it is relatively difficult to pick just one
no, big difference: it was not infinite, but extended indefinitely as needed. You can't count to infinity!!!
not to mention that Verizon is the wire provider, Covad was the one actually providing the dsl service
Does this remind anyone else of A Deepness in the Sky or Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge
it means an artificially generated "grassroots effort"
long distance power transmission as dc sucks. that is the main advantage of ac.
fortunato would be more appropos then.
A deja-vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix, it happens when they change something.

they allow anonymous users, but even the anonymous users have to agree to the user agreement.
Everybody loves screenshots, so check_url www.netsaint.org
:-)
that is not a url, it doesn't have a protocol specifier
no, because YOU CAN'T DIVIDE BY ZERO!
a number divided by zero is NOT infinity, it is undefined.

he is not complaining about the openssh ssh "product" or "protocol", merely the project name, I think.
upon further investigation, I found this service for timestamping, as well as this one. Here is a page with more timestamping links...

I think kawa will compile scheme to jvm :-) I have looked into some jvm assemblers as well!

does gnupg have a way of using ldap keyservers like pgp does?
