Hey, they're just doing what they're paid for... By the phone companies. I'm sure if you look up how much the Bells..er..SBC is "contributing to someone's campaign" it much more than the Cable companies.
Probably when they get too impatient to grab ALL the power that's left in one shot like Musharraf did in Pakistan.
The Corps and the rich folks behind them are trying to sneak control and $ away from the people gradually so that Joe Apathetic doesn't see anything wrong until it's too late. When they'll be done, the US will look like the Alphaverse in Charlie_Jade. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Jade)
I doubt it will happen because Greedy people can only hold back for so long...
The corps run the show in the US. If the almighty Congress can't force the phone companies to fess up about wiretapping, why should the corps worry about the wimppy FCC?
I always find it ironic that BSD license advocates hate it when people take BSD code and re-license it with GPL license but don't say a word when it goes proprietary.
If Linux was using the BSD license, MS (or some other greedy company) would have pilfered it entirely and would be trying to sue all the Linux programmers a-la-SCO to kill of competition.
GPL forced participation to develop the software further. With BSD, it's optional. Most people are lazy and need a push.
I though it was because MS did not implement features available in Sun's version
It's existence (MS-JAVA) was holding back the progress of the whole Java language Developers couldn't use updated functionality and PHBs had warm-n-fussy feeling about MS-JAVA and didn't want to upgrade to Sun's Java.
If you see the code and then create something remotely like it, MS will sue your ass off. This way, the more people who see the code will become "Tainted" for clean-room rewrites of parts of.Net
Brilliant!
(This is the "Embrasse" portion of the plan to kill of Mono.)
I did this, too. I had good marks in school but that's it.
My attention span is OK but I am told that people have to repeat stuff when they talk to me. It drives my wife nuts. The reason: I think about other things and tune out.
Since I've been able to watch TV/movie on a PC and do other stuff on the PC at the same time, I think it's getting worse.
Therefore I think it's just a bad habit, not a medical condition.

I'm sure some people would love to have an "official" definition.

It's amazing how Americans don't want to use the "M" word
How about something that can go on the highway, too.
25 MPH (50KM/h) MAX won't cut it with me.
Great! Win-modems for drives!
The remote would be light a mini EMP generator.
also ALL RFID-like devices near by would get Juiced-up.
It's the battery life I would be worried about.
Like how many EMPs can you get out of a AA battery.
Yes, that's what MS is proposing. It's called SilverLight.
But can anybody trust MS on anything?
History has proven that you can't trust MS.

I guess you are right. Google is useful.
Oops, It's from the "John Titor" hoax.
Did I miss something in science class?
How is magnetism able to affect a beam of light?
The Energizer battery company would pay big $ for such a LIVING mascot.
With all that $, they'll be able to fund future research...

I've tried to use it and the installation bombed horribly.
They haven't updated it in long while.
The REAL solution is to offer 2 layouts in GIMP: Native and Photoshop.

This is what the internet is going to turn into if we don't have net neutrality:

At this rate, why not patent Dark Matter and worm holes, too?
And what about the "Water bridge created with high voltage" effect?

What about patenting pissing water through your tear duct?

With Linux,I wouldn't worry about root-kits.
Linux, however, doesn't protect you from Sony batteries. (BOOM!)
Other other hand, if you happen to be caught DL'ing music/movies you'll get a stiffer penalty than dealing drugs.
But can it open Visio Docs? ...No
Therefore not very useful, yet.
