> time in places with decent wi-fi, then you are definitely in the minority
In my travels outside the US, I do find many places where WiFi is availaible, I have yet to find someone who has a cell phone that works in and out of the US (I know they exist...)
This makes business sense for my company, where I work, we don't have cell coverage over the entire property (10-15 square miles of testing facility), for $20,000 worth of equipment AT&T would allow us to put up our own cell phone repeater (which we tested) that would have allowed us to pay $35/person/month for our phones to work with that equipment (and nothing else.) Instead I installed an asterisk phone system (old $500pc, with $200 worth of add on) and 3 solar powered cisco repeaters ($1000 * 3) Granted we havent bought the WiFi phones yet, but everyone has a laptop, and can fire up a webcam, or make a phone call from it, to get support on the equipment. and our remote buildings can set a bridge, and some $40 Voip box to give a extension on our phone system.
Also the people with dell Axims can place/recieve phone calls, and check email, anywhere on any of the companys propertys.

> PHP doesn't provide any structure to help them make the right decisions
I agree I haven't found the equivilent of Lint for PHP, that would solve all your complaints about PHP as a lanuage.
the language a person uses will not make a good programmer bad. And no amount of structured language will make a bad programmer write good programs.
I haven't found a single language, especially not java that does what you claim, their are many many tools for java, and C/C++, etc that do that. And even some of that functionality exists in the popular compilers.
and definitive proof from the site. can handle his 5-foot-6-inch, 165-pound frame, even when he jumps up and down on it (an experiment he tried in response to an e-mail asking if the bed could support two people).
> Just goes to show you that a safe speed is highly dependent on who's doing the driving.
*opinion* your story would be more about what their driving, and where/what the failure was.
watch nascar, usually a tire failure with no one around causes little problems even at 200 mph, assuming all would stop immediatly. then again in traffic you got a huge mess.
after all, a front SUV tire failure in a corner resulted in many roll-overs. I have seen (photos) of mining tire failures that have killed directly, smashing the floorboard into the operator.
> "The DMA strongly believes that consumers should be in control of their computers..."
I am guessing they mean that the ISP's should not filter spam/block spyware ports,etc that the Consumer should be alowed to choose their own spam blockers,etc (and hope they don't figure it out themselves.)
so far I do prefer running my own Junk mail filter in mozilla Thunderbird, but do think ISP's haveing junk mail... blocking on by default is best.
so how many states dropping DST alltogether would eliminate the proposed savings?
and why does our congress have the authority to change the worlds time zones? after all, all of these timezones they plan to change extend into Canada, and the time zone they live in extends into South America. S.America doesn't observes daylight savings time now, but Canada does, correct? (since much of SAmerica is in the southern Hemisphere, I am guessing many would have to set ahead when US sets backward anyway)
writing this from AZ, I hope this bill would cause most states to opt out of Daylight savings all-together (I guarantee many states would take this time to consider opting out altogether anyway.)
> Our religion is consume, consume, CONSUME! We must consume everything
You left out the more important part to this conversation. That is we must blame others first, after all my SUV would be of no consequence if I were the only one driving one.
The rush limbugh quote sums it up something like "God wouldn't give me the power to destroy the earth."
however I do agree with this quote, he is not destroying the earth, just making it in-habitable for humans.
