That's about as braindead a decision as you can get from a government. They think you can simply wave some magic wand and things just "happen". They must also think that no one else would use that new, government mandated back door for anything nefarious. Gosh no, we're all just law-abiding slav... citizens out here in the real world.
In reality, they just wanted quicker acces to the playboy mansion, I guess.
Professor Steven Landsburg, an economist at the University of Rochester is the person you should really nominate for the John Dvorak Memorial Moron of the Year award. Mr Tierny is simply reporting on the "good" professor's latest idea.
For the record, death is never the answer. An IBM PC/AT with 2400 baud modem and EGA graphics might be, however.
and honestly, does NASA have the billions it'll take to fix the shuttles up again? Will the public even care to pay for a program that would be down another two to three years? Five years between shuttle launches?
Because we all remember how well the USFL did in suing the NFL, don't we? Or the US vs Microsoft? Microsoft just bought an adminstration that was friendly to them, really.
I wonder what you think you gain by blocking the ads? It is like saying: 'Ok, Slashdot editors, I want to read your magazine, but I do not want to let you earn any money for running it.'
It's like all those car, computer, and gun magazines I read at the bookstore when I was a teenager. Must have read dozens a day, for years. Didn't buy a one. I don't feel guilty for not buying. Similar, I ignored every ad in those magazines. I ignore or edit out the ads here. My right, my choice.
I recall seeing a picture of a case some guy had made out of PVC piping and two 20" box fans, like you'd buy at Wally World. This one beats that by miles....
Great idea. No clue if it's practical, but cool idea. Now for someone to build one out of ice.:)
Because you won't get Customer Service to help you at all. I tried for the final three months I had Vonage to get in touch with _anyone_ there about the service issues I was having, with zero luck. I finally went back to Ma Bell, who will at least listen and provides the services I need.
I've got to say that in my dealings with old Freddie, I've found him to be an egocentric idiot. Any opinions outside his are trash, and the holders trash as well.
Which is well, considering I consider him a hack of a writer.

I still think this is more of a playground argument. Nothing we haven't seen before.
or one where a small number of rich people prosper while hundreds of millions are left unemployed. Much like the world now, huh?
I guess that makes it news if you find it in a blog.
Looks like the NFL is outta luck. Or EA is. Fortunately, most people who'd buy this, still have the very playable (I suppose) Madden 2005.
If there's that little difference, what's the point of upgrading?

Hm. Back to the old "Political Dissent" angle.
Yeah.
I think he's also in favor of Child Porn being "Free Speech". Or is that up for review also?
I'll have to see.
Wow... gone before the slashdotting!

Why bother, I say.

It'll be an Intel world.
Someone been playing alien crossfire again? The expansion to Alpha Centauri? Cause that's in there.

If I want reality, I'll go outside.
Found it! It was from 2000, five years ago. Geez!

PVC and a 18" box fan. Wow.
I was wrong above, only one fan but considering I've kept that image in my head for five years now, that's not bad.

Same claim as msft has for the original Internet Explorer code..
They bought it from UIUC, originally called "Mosaic". Sony (or whatever) simply bullied this guy.
Outside of the ads in Opera, I think it's more of a matter of opinion. I prefer Firefox, because Opera runs slow on this computer.

I'll go back when they get some decent CS skills.
*sigh*
He just doesn't get it. He thinks "Me Media! Me almighty journalist! Me do what I like! Me No apologize but call YOU moron! Worship Media!"
We think "God, what a idiot."
and they wonder why we don't trust them?

We're #2! We're #2! We're #2! :D
US caves to new Superpower China. No Film, as our new overlords won't allow it.
Feh. Silly Humans.
I hope what goes around comes around. :)
I really hope this is the end of it. Even when the Entertainment Industry tries their end run, it'll end up in court again.
